On homosexuality

God is generally restrained in dealing with the wicked. He is
long-suffering and patient. He is slow to anger. He "sends
his rain on the just and the unjust". He lets the tares grow
with the wheat until the day of harvest when they will be
separated. However, the Bible does record instances when sin
on the earth was so gross and shocking that God was not able to
contain his anger. One of the most notable instances of this
concerned two cities --- Sodom and Gomorrah. He was so
outraged over the grossness and shocking nature of their sin
that he utterly destroyed them with fire and brimstone rained
down from heaven. What was this sin that so outraged him?
Homosexuality. See Genesis 18:20-33; 19:1-28.

Today homosexuality is rampant in our land. And our government
not only condones it but supports the homosexuals in their
demands for acceptance. Even our school children are being
taught that homosexuality is OK and acceptable; that they
should accept it as just another way, a way equally as good and
right as heterosexuality.

Homosexuality is grossly immoral; it is wickedness of the
highest order. It is behavior to shock and outrage any
decent, right-thinking person.

To me I live in a topsy-turvy, Alice-in-Wonderland society, a
society gone crazy, a society that has lost its reason, its
sense, its knowledge of right and wrong. It is a society where
good, decent people are vilified by tagging them as bigots and
evil, wicked people are glamorized and set up as models, a
society where Wickedness is exalted and Goodness is trampled.
It is a society where there has occurred a terrible
transposition --- where right is wrong and wrong is right.

Isa. 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil; that
put darkness for light and light for darkness; that put bitter for
sweet and sweet for bitter! Isa. 5:20

Isa 3:9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them;
and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto
their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves. (10) Say
ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they
shall eat the fruit of their doings. (11) Woe unto the wicked!
it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be
given him.

When God gave his commandments to the Children of Israel his
position on homosexuality was crystal clear:

Lev 18:22,24 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It
is an abomination. Do not defile yourselves with any of these
things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am
casting out before you.

Lev 20:13 If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman,
both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely
be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.

The attitude of Christianity is the same as that of the Old
Testament, completely unequivocal on the subject:

Rom 1:26-28 For this cause God gave them up unto vile
affections: for even their women did change the natural use
into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men,
leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one
toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,
and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error
which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in
their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do
those things which are not convenient;

Jude 7 ... as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them
in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to
sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth
as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

1 Cor 6:9-10 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not
inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,
nor sodomites, {10} nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards,
nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

In the Bible homosexuality is not just another sin. It holds a
special place among sins. It is a sin of sins, a sin dwarfing
other sins in its grossness, its depth of moral depravity, its
wickedness. So how did we get to where we are today, where a
sin so gross as homosexuality is accepted by so many people as
OK, as just another lifestyle, equally as valid as the
heterosexual lifestyle? Well, we can thank the psychiatrists
and psychologists for that. An association of psychiatrists or
psychologists determined several decades ago that homosexuality
was something a person was born with, something they couldn't
help. Some people, they said, were just born with a homosexual
orientation or inclination while others weren't. That suddenly
became their position on the subject (a determination perhaps
influenced by prominant homosexual researchers --- Alfred
Kinsey was a homosexual, as have been a number of researchers).
So immediately the following question arises: Can we consider
homosexual conduct a sin if some people are born with a
homosexual inclination while others aren't? Going from there,
the Bible has been considered discredited and people conclude
there is nothing wrong with homosexuality, its conduct or
lifestyle. The Bible has again been discredited by "science".
Science is king in our modern world. We are now in the
enlightened age. Well, I don't accept their premise that some
people are just born that way and others aren't. I suspect
everyone may be born with homosexual potential and that
homosexuality is just like other sins, people are enticed into
it in some way, introduced into it, and then find themselves
caught in a trap from which they are unable to extract
themselves (like a fly caught in a spider's web). They may
indeed have trouble getting out of the trap, but that doesn't
mean they were born homosexuals. We live in a world of Satanic
lie, of high deceit and deception, of gross dishonesty. The
Devil has the masses fooled in every way, all the time. He and
his helpers, that is. So now school children are being
indoctrinated by our society, being told that homosexuality is
just another lifestyle and should be accepted. The homosexuals
and atheists have a lot of power and influence in our society,
especially through organizations such as the ACLU and various
homosexual organizations. They are pushing their agendas
everywhere. They hate the Bible and Christianity with a
passion. They have government, the mass media, liberal
religion, the educational system, etc. all on their side.
Corporations are joining in droves. So now the homosexuals
have turned the tables on the Christian. The Christian is now
a bigot and a bad person, someone to be despised. Everywhere
laws are being made intended to intimidate and silence him. A
Christian dare not speak the truth for fear of being kicked out
of school or losing his job. To tell the truth about
homosexuality is hate speach. To quote scripture on
homosexuality is hate speach. To not accept homosexuality and
its lifestyle is hateful and unacceptable. There is a whole
lot of anti-Christian climate in this country. Especially in
our educational system. They are working on our youth. Very
sad. Now Satan owns the roost. You live by his rules.

The wicked plots against the just,
And gnashes at him with his teeth.

Psalm 37:12

We live in a land of liberty and freedom. Freedom for the
godless, immoral and wicked, that is. Freedom to celebrate
every kind of depraved, degenerate conduct. Freedom for the
wicked to say whatever they wish. Freedom for the wicked to be
as wicked as they wish. Consider the depths of depravity of
what is now being shown on television. Every year the limits
are pushed further and further. A step at a time, step by
step, the public is desensitized and conditioned towards deeper
and deeper depravity. There is no end. It is a bottomless
abyss. The freedom for the wicked is unlimited. But it is a
one way street. For the good and moral it is another story.
They keep their mouths shut if they don't want to be sued,
kicked out of school or be fired from their jobs. Their
opinion isn't wanted. They dare not say what they think or
feel. It is just the way the laws are written. For some
reason the laws always seem to favor the wicked. And if it is
not the laws coming out of Congress, it is our constitution.
The constitution always seems to be on the side of the wicked.
And the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) is always right
there to protect all the rights of the wicked.

Do you know what this reminds me of? It all reminds me of the
story in Genesis about that righteous man Lot living in the
city of Sodom. It was a rich, wealthy city and Lot chose to
live there because he liked the easy city life. He lived
there, observed all their depravity, and kept his mouth shut.

Today there are countries, Canada for instance, that have "hate
speech" laws and where simply to quote passages from the Bible on
the topic of homosexuality is a national crime with severe
penalty. Quoting the Bible on the topic of homosexuality is
legally interpreted as constituting "hate speech", thus
intimidating and silencing the Christian. This is liberalism,
progressiveism at its best. I believe this is America's future.
I think it lies just a little bit down the road.

They are after our children. I have no children. I am very
happy about that.

The following news article just appeared on the internet. It
is about a controversy that has been in the national news for
the last couple of days.

Mont. sex-ed controversy could open parents' eyes
By Michael Foust
Jul 16, 2010

HELENA, Mont. (BP)--A controversy over proposed sex-ed
curriculum in Helena, Mont., for students as young as
kindergarten should lead parents elsewhere to be more in tune
with what their schools are teaching, an expert on the topic
says.

The proposal, which has drawn nationwide attention, attracted
an overflow crowd at the Helena School Board Meeting July 14,
when more than 300 people attended, although the board had time
to hear from only 64. It could take a vote next month on
whether to approve the curriculum.

Among the more controversial elements, the proposal says
kindergarteners would learn the "basic reproductive body parts
(penis, vagina, breast, nipples, testicles, scrotum, uterus)"
and first-graders would learn "human beings can love people of
the same gender & people of another gender." Fifth-graders
would learn that "sexual intercourse includes but is not
limited to vaginal, oral, or anal penetration" and seventh-
graders would learn about Supreme Court opinions on abortion
and "reproductive health."

It's at least the second controversy over public school sex-ed
in recent weeks that has made the national news. In June the
school board of Provincetown, Mass., adopted a policy to make
condoms available to all students -- without parental consent -
- and did not set an age or grade limit. Several weeks later
the board amended the policy so that it's "age-appropriate" and
dependent on "specific circumstances," although parents still
will not be notified.

Chad Hills, an analyst for sexual health with CitizenLink, an
arm of Focus on the Family, said parents in both communities
have plenty of reasons to be upset.

"Parents are the primary teachers of sexuality to their
children," Hills told Baptist Press. "This is not an issue that
is without morals, without values. This issue is highly
specific to families, and it's not the school's place to impart
values and morals to the children. It's the parents' place to
do that. The school is there to educate them in English, math.
Parents should be outraged."

Hills added, "Parents should be neck-deep in what their schools
are teaching their kids, especially in science class or
physical education class, where sex-education is typically
taught. Parents need to attend board meetings. Parents need to
be involved in local elections of the offices within their
schools."

Among the other controversial elements of the Helen, Mont.,
policy:

-- Kindergarteners would learn "a baby grows in a woman's
uterus."

-- Third-graders would learn "the ovary produces eggs and the
testicles produce sperm."

-- Fifth-graders would learn that "sexual orientation refers to
a person's physical and/or romantic attraction to an individual
of the same and/or different gender, and is one part of one's
personality."

-- Sixth-graders would learn that "the penis, fingers, tongue
or objects" can be used in sex. They would also learn that
"gender identity is different from sexual orientation."

-- Beginning with seventh-graders, students would discuss
Supreme Court decisions that have given people "the right to
make personal decisions concerning sexuality & reproductive
health matters, such as abortion, sterilization, and
contraception."

-- Ninth-graders would begin learning that "erotic images in
art reflect society's views about sexuality & help people
understand sexuality."

Parents would have the opportunity to opt out of the
curriculum, but some parents say that's not sufficient.

"Much of this information is weaved into curriculums other than
sexual [education]," Mikal Wilkerson, a parent who attended the
board meeting, said on FoxNews' "Hannity" program. "So even if
I opt my child out of the sexual [education], they will still
receive much of this information in other curriculums. In
addition, if my child goes out to recess, you know they're
going to hear it from the kids. Now it's even in a different
context."

The sex-ed curriculum, Wilkerson said, puts the child "in the
middle" of the controversy.

"The school teaches one set of values," she said. "I teach
another set of values. And now the kid's stuck right at the
middle. And it undermines the authority of both the parent and
the teacher in the school."

Supporters of the curriculum say it is needed because children
and young teens already are having sex. It will help cut down
on teen pregnancy and STDs, they say. Hills, of CitizenLink,
says supporters are off the mark.

"My answer for that is that the school nurse should not be
handing out condoms," Hills said. "Instead, the school nurse
should be sitting down with these kids, in the same room with
their guardian or their parent, and saying, 'Look, this is not
a healthy direction for you to be traveling. Here are the
potential outcomes if this behavior continues in your life.'"

A handful of organizations, Hills said, are promoting similar
sex-ed program nationwide. Among them are Planned Parenthood,
SIECUS (Sexuality Information and Education Council of the
United States) and Advocates for Youth (AFY). The controversy
will be "coming down the pike" in a "lot more states," he said.

"There's such a thing as awakening passions before their time,"
Hills said. "This is exactly what these types of groups do,
because they're focusing on sexuality. Many teens are pursuing
sex instead of relationships. And a lot of the college students
are beginning to rebel against that because they're saying,
'There is no lasting satisfaction in that. There's only
temporary pleasure and there's this hollow emptiness left
inside of me after that experience.'

"What they're beginning to realize -- without even being told
this -- is that sex has context, and that context is within the
stable lifelong commitment of marriage between one man and one
woman, the way God designed it to be."

Michael Foust is an assistant editor of Baptist Press.

The supporters of the above proposal say, "This is about truth
and reality so the kids don't grow up in La-La Land." I ask,
"What is this La-La Land they speak of?" It is Christian
morality. It is Christian outlook, values and standards. What
is this "truth and reality" they speak of? Their truth and
reality is uninhibited sex of every type, shape and form ---
same sex relationships, multi-partner sex, whatever. It is
what a Christian would view as animal depravity of the grossest
type. It is human nature at its very lowest.

A pro-homosexual, anti-Christian, liberal, intellectual elite
is trying to force its outlooks, attitudes, values and ways on
America. An elite clique graduated from our elite schools and
universities is trying to replace Christianity with its own
"higher" morality (a moral outlook that is really nothing more
than an elaborate rationalization for gross immorality and not
holding up to very high standards of logic). It pushes an
agenda aimed at reshaping modern society into its own outlooks
and values, of re-engineering America into its own image. And
slowly, set by step, it is succeeding. People complain and
object, but then they give up and accept it. Under constant
bombardment of moral lie, the masses finally follow like sheep.
A new religion is being preached and the masses slowly follow.
You never hear a congressman or person of high position
criticizing homosexuality. No official in a high position ever
speaks against it. It is just not socially nor politically
acceptable to do it. That is the reality. Even if people view
it as wrong, they don't have the courage to speak up. They
have been cowed into silence. No one wants to be labeled a
bigot or a radical.

Today homosexual "couples" are being allowed to adopt children.
How shocking! What has this society come to? What an unspeakable
crime is being commited against these innocent children! The
children are being sold to Satan himself!
