It is truly amazing that there are those who actually accuse Christ of being gay. The silence of many in the church, allegedly for the sake of showing love and being not judgmental is deafening. I personally love those who are gay, but I cannot allow their sexuality to be exalted above Gods word. In the words of Dean Robinson This diabolical psychobabble of self-love is sweeping through churches today among self-seeking men in a self-centered society whose greatest problem is a desire to worship at the altar of self. The apostle Paul warned us that one of the characteristics of the last days would be that "men shall be lovers of their own selves" (2 Tim. 3:2). It is in this selfish climate of me, that homosexuality has been enabled to grow. I fear that many so-called fundamental/evangelical churches and preachers have fallen into the trap of teaching this mushy self-worth propaganda that seeks to camouflage itself in robes of charity, tolerance and inclusiveness. Churches and preachers alike are abandoning their God-called purpose of holding up the mirror of Gods Word and graphically revealing to man what he really looks like in the sight of a holy God. The missing message in modern-day preaching is the Biblical doctrine of repentance, where a sinner is convinced and convicted of his exceeding sinfulness and lost condition."
Many who claim they have found contentment with a lifestyle they label as gay, are in reality living the homosexual death style to their own destruction. They are blinded by a sexual-identity bondage. I know this because I was there and I saw firsthand the true nature of homosexuality. What I discovered along the way, was that homosexuality, is nothing more than another form of sinfully acting out the fallen sinful nature which is in us all. Instead of those of us who are Christians, holding our piece, the Bible clearly tells us, that we should show the distinction between right and wrong. The Bible's condemnation of homosexuality is as clear and plain as the Bible's condemnation of murder, adultery, premarital sex, kidnapping, lying and idolatry. Furthermore, for us as Christians to openly condemn homosexuality, theologically makes us no more a "gay basher" than we are an "adultery basher", "premarital sex basher", "kidnapper basher" or a "murderer basher", when we speak against these other listed sins. No matter what the world says about homosexuality or how "open minded" people of this earth become, God has not changed in how He feels about men lying with men, and women lying with women, (this fact alone should cause us all to tremble, but for many they are past the tremble stage). It is truly amazing that God tells us in his word, what the practice of rampart homosexuality is a sign of, but few even care to know. We are told that a primary sign of God's abandonment of any society or people is that they become obsessed with, and view as perfectly normal, sexual immorality and perversion.

"We live in the age of information. An age where technology and knowledge have liberated man from his fellow, and caused him to reason himself away from God. An age of instant gratification of intense material desires wherein physical comfort and ease have united to destroy man's belief in and need for God and rob him of character and any expectation of eternity through faith. Our age of individualism and egilaterianism has laid the foundation for anarchy and disaster culminating in Armageddon." (biblebelievers.org). Today the combination of lustful desires and intellectualism is proving to be a spiritually deadly combination. Much of what God instructs us to do, is now being viewed as outdated, foolish and irrelevant. This is especially true when it comes to our sexual conduct. In fact many today question the very existence of God. Many have adopted a mindset which says, even IF there is a God, my sexuality is a personal choice. God calls out to the souls of men, seeking to convict the conscience, but the souls of men are so intertwined with their carnal nature, that the voice of man's fallen carnal nature often drowns out the things of God. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1st Cor 2;14. Only God can reveal to man his true condition and how to be delivered from it. When God calls out to us, we must be willing to make room for him in our heart/mind, least we be classed with the wicked. What keeps a person in this sinful deprived condition, is their refusal to submit their mind over to God. The Bible tells us the wicked makes no place for the ways of God to abide in their mind. In place of the word of God, the wicked thinks within himself "nothing is going to happen to me, God is not going to do anything" 4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. 6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. 11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it. Psalm 10:4,6,11. |
According to Exodus International, North America, A interdenominational Christian organization promoting the message of "Freedom from homosexuality through the power of Jesus Christ. ?All who claim that the Bible is pro gay are in error. The Scriptures which forbid homosexuality are quite clear. "Thou shalt not lie with a man as with a woman" requires no more interpretation than "Thou shalt not kill." It is intellectually dishonest to say conservatives "interpret" such verses out of prejudice against homosexuals. Those same "prejudiced" conservatives also take Scriptures against heterosexual sins quite literally. If they only prohibit homosexuality out of their own prejudice, why on earth do they, as heterosexuals, also condemn heterosexual sins? The argument makes no sense. Neither does the "mistranslation" argument. We can allow some discrepancy in minor areas of translation, but, on something as important as sexual ethics, are we really to believe the Bible translators we rely on got it wrong five different times, in two different testaments? And only on the Scriptures regarding homosexuality? (Pro-gay apologists seem to have no problem with the other Scriptures condemning sins like adultery and child abuse.). Equally poor is the "out-of-context" argument. The fact is, in Leviticus, Romans, 1 Corinthians and 1 Timothy, homosexuality is mentioned in the context of sexual and immoral behavior! The context is quite clear -- a variety of behaviors are prohibited; homosexuality -- along with adultery, fornication and idolatry -- is one of them. The "cultural" argument fares no better. In some cases, a Scripture may seem culturally bound (injunctions against long hair on men, or women speaking to their husbands during church.) But again?five times? Five different Scriptures, from both testaments, addressed to highly different cultures (from the Hebrew to the Roman) are obviously not culturally bound. The cultures they address are just too different. All of which leave conservatives highly skeptical of the "gay Christian" movement's claim to respect Biblical authority.

Over the past few years some gay rights activist have mastered the art of emotionally manipulating the public at large. It seems that the fact that we have been manipulated emotionally, matters very little to many today. Perhaps this is a part of the manipulative tactic itself. But for those who still care we will explain how we got here seemingly so fast. John Vennari tells us, "The gay agenda to manipulate the emotional mindset of the nation is perhaps best spelled out, in the 1987 landmark article "The Overhauling of Straight America" by homosexual activists Marshall K. Kirk and Erastes Pill. ("Erastes Pill" was the pen name for Hunter Madsen). It is said "The Overhauling of Straight America" has become the "bible" of the homosexual movement, as it presents strategies both to make homosexuals more acceptable, and to demonize opponents of homosexuality. The entire campaign is based not on intellectual arguments, but on emotional manipulation of the public.
Step 1: Talk About Gays and Gayness as Loudly and as Often as Possible "The principle behind this advice is simple", say Kirk and Pill, "almost any behavior begins to look normal if you are exposed to enough of it at close quarters and among your acquaintances. The acceptability of the new behavior will ultimately hinge on the number of one's fellows doing it or accepting it." A person may be offended initially by the novelty of it all, but the authors point out "as long as Joe-Six-pack feels little pressure to perform likewise, and as long as the behavior in question presents little threat to his physical and financial security, he soon gets used to it and life goes on." As time goes on, Joe-Six pack and his friends will become more tolerant of homosexuality as no more than an alternative, legitimate way of life."
Step 2: Portray Gays as Victims, Not as Aggressive Challengers "In any campaign to win over the public, gays must be cast as victims in need of protection so that straights will be inclined by reflex to assume the role of protector. If gays are presented, instead, as a strong and prideful tribe promoting a rigidly nonconformist and deviant lifestyle, they are more likely to be seen as a public menace that justifies resistance and oppression. For that reason, we must forego the temptation to strut our ?gay pride' publicly when it conflicts with the Gay Victim image. And we must walk the fine line between impressing straights with our great numbers, on the one hand, and sparking their hostile paranoia ?'They are all around us!' ? on the other. "A media campaign to promote the Gay Victim image should make use of symbols which reduce the mainstream's sense of threat, which lower its guard, and which enhance the plausibility of victimization. In practical terms, this means that jaunty mustachioed musclemen would keep very low profile in gay commercials and other public presentations, while sympathetic figures of nice young people, old people, and attractive women would be featured. (It almost goes without saying that groups on the farthest margin of acceptability such as NAMBLA, [North American Man-Boy Love Association] must play no part at all in such a campaign: suspected child-molesters will never look like victims)."
Step 3: Give Protectors a Just Cause. "A media campaign that casts gays as society's victims and encourages straights to be their protectors must make it easier for those to respond to assert and explain their new protectiveness. Few straight women, and even fewer straight men, will want to defend homosexuality boldly as such. Most would rather attach their awakened protective impulse to some principle of justice or law, to some general desire for consistent and fair treatment in society. Our campaign should not demand direct support for homosexual practices, should instead take anti-discrimination as its theme. The right to free speech, freedom of beliefs, freedom of association, due process and equal protection of laws-these should be the concerns brought to mind by our campaign. "It is especially important for the gay movement to hitch its cause to accepted standards of law and justice because its straight supporters must have at hand a cogent reply to the moral arguments of its enemies. The homophobes clothe their emotional revulsion in the daunting robes of religious dogma, so defenders of gay rights must be ready to counter dogma with principle."
Step 4: Make Gays Look Good "In order to make a Gay Victim sympathetic to straights you have to portray him as Everyman. But an additional theme of the campaign should be more aggressive and upbeat: to offset the increasingly bad press that these times have brought to homosexual men and women, the campaign should paint gays as superior pillars of society. Yes, yes, we know ? this trick is so old it creaks. Other minorities use it all the time in ads that announce proudly, ?Did you know that this Great Man (or Woman) was ____?' But the message is vital for all those straights who still picture gays as ?queer' people ? shadowy, lonesome, fail, drunken, suicidal, child-snatching misfits.
Step 5: Make the Victimizers look Bad "At a later stage of the media campaign for gay rights ? long after other gay ads have become commonplace ? it will be time to get tough with remaining opponents. To be blunt, they must be vilified. (This will be all the more necessary because, by that time, the entrenched enemy will have quadrupled its output of vitriol and disinformation.) Our goal here is twofold. First, we seek to replace the mainstream's self-righteous pride about its homophobia with shame and guilt. Second, we intend to make the antigays look so nasty that average Americans will want to dissociate themselves from such types.[4]. "The public should be shown images of ranting homophobes whose secondary traits and beliefs disgust middle America. These images might include: the Ku Klux Klan demanding that gays be burned alive or castrated; bigoted southern ministers drooling with hysterical hatred to a degree that looks both comical and deranged; menacing punks, thugs, and convicts speaking coolly about the ?fags' they have killed or would like to kill; a tour of Nazi concentration camps where homosexuals were tortured and gassed. The authors later explain, "We have already indicated some of the images which might be damaging to the homophobic vendetta: ranting and hateful religious extremists neo-Nazis, and Ku Klux Klansmen made to look evil and ridiculous (hardly a difficult task). "These images should be combined with those of their gay victims by a method propagandists call the ?bracket technique.' For example, for a few seconds an unctuous beady-eyed Southern preacher is seen pounding the pulpit in rage about "those sick, abominable creatures.' While his tirade continues over the soundtrack, the picture switches to pathetic photos of gays who look decent, harmless, and likable; and then we cut back to the poisonous face of the preacher, and so forth. The contrast speaks for itself. The effect is devastating. Vilify Christianity, the process of vilifying those who oppose homosexuality is now spreading with frightful rapidity. Although some gays would deny it, The attack from homosexuals is aimed primarily at Christian. On a Lesbian Gay, Bisexual and Transvestite (GLBT) website dedicated to exposing "Hate Crimes", activists claim that pro-family organizations are engaging in hate speech when they criticize homosexual conduct and this "hate speech" allegedly leads to hate crimes and must be suppressed. This site equates opposition to homosexuality as equal to Hitler's slaughter of Jews. |

A GROWING LYNCH MOB MENTALITY AGAINST CHRISTIANTY-- Sad to say this agenda is working hostility against Christianity is increasing, while acceptancy and honoring homosexuality is on the increase. Much of what experienced by way of name calling and discrimination as a young man growing up in the south: I now experience, simply for standing on the same moral truths and principles, people of all races have stood on for centuries. Today to take a stand as a christian against sexual misconduct in general and homosexuality in particular, is to open ones self up to being called names (homophobe is one example). Not only this many in the media (but not all) have joined in the fray of attacking Christians who simply take a stand against homosexuality. Christ was not crucified because he hated people, but rather because he spoke the truth. He simply spoke the truth about their, conduct, character, and true state of being. Christ warned that for those who were exposed to the truths of God, and hatefully rejected it, their judgement will be severe. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. Jn 3:19-20. It is now evident that it's open season on Christians, most movies portray ministers as deranged Bible thumping morons. It seems that no one hardly has taken notice, or perhaps not to many care anymore. Ken Ham tells us, "These are challenging days. On the whole, society is becoming more anti-Christian. We are seeing steady increases in homosexuality, support for abortion on demand, unwillingness to obey authorities, unwillingness to work, marriage being abandoned, clothing being abandoned, an increase in pornography, and an increase in lawlessness, to name but a few areas. Christians are fighting for their freedom even in so-called "Christian" nations. Years ago, our society was based on Christian absolutes. People knew what was right and what was wrong. Behaviors such as sexual deviancy, easy divorce, public lawlessness, abortion on demand, pornography, and public nudity were considered to be wrong. Varying punishments for offenders were meted out by society. Value judgement were basically built on biblical principles (for example, the Ten Commandments). Most people accepted or respected a belief in God. Recently more and more people have rejected the God of the Bible. As belief in God has been abandoned, people have questioned the basis of the society in which they live. For instance, if there is no God, then why should they obey the Ten Commandments? Why should anyone say that homosexuality is wrong? Why should women be barred from having abortions whenever they desire? Once people eliminated God from their consciences, they set about to change any laws based on Christian absolutes that held God as Creator (and thus owner) of everything. |

THE NEW N WORD "HOMOPHOBE-- Today thanks to certain gay activist and the certain media outlets. A new word has been coined which in my mind carries the same meaning and is being used the same way the N word was used years ago. That word is "Homophobe" of " Homophobic" It is claimed that this term is used to describe a person who has an undue fear of homosexuals. In reality this is not the case. The word "HOMOPHOBE" is used to brow beat and belittle anyone who disagrees with the gay lifestyle. Many today are doing the same thing, they are saying it's wrong for others to do. They are using name calling as a weapon to intimidate and demean those who disagree. As an afro American growing up in the south, I vividly remember discrimination and segregation. I remember having to go to the bathroom with the sign "colored only" and having to go upstairs in the movie theater because blacks were not allowed to go downstairs, etc. I remember how my sisters had eggs thrown on them, as they walked through certain neighborhood, by some white kids who thought it was fun. I know what it is to have to endure being called the N word simply because of the color of my skin. To me the N word was used to denote someone who was ignorant, stupid, and not able to fully function in society at large. The word "homophobe" is being used the same way as the N word of old. If a person disagrees with homosexuality, they should simply be labeled as someone who disagrees (no abusive terms nessacery). When Christ saved me on May 21st 1974, at 11:30 pm, it was the greatest day of my life. I went to all my friends I had hung with, (including my gay friends) to tell them the good news. I reminded them all of the sinful lifestyle I had lived, and the many exploits we shared. I also told them there was a better way. Some of my gay friends actually got saved and never went back to homosexuality. Today when I share the same message of love, hope, and deliverance, I am now labeled as being both homophobic and prejudice. It greatly saddens me to be labeled as being ignorant, prejudice and discriminatory, simply because I like so many others disagree with homosexuality. |

A RADICAL AND VIOLENT LASHING OUT--- As we have said not all gays fit into the same category, or take the same approach to their homosexuality. Some prefer to not promote or proselytize, choosing rather to practice homosexuality in privacy. But there are homosexuals whose viciousness and deviance knows no bounds. Some in group one are lashing out at God and his holy word. Their demand is that the Bible be labeled as hate literature and banned. Many in this group are only concerned with two things: having sex their way and recruiting more into their fold. They do not care whom they hurt, it's all about making themselves look normal. They will stoop to any means to push the gay agenda and attack anything which dares speak a word against their sexual choices. There is nothing God could have said in His Word which would turn them away from their mission or lifestyle. The number one concern for the homosexual/lesbians in this group, over and above honoring God and his guidelines, is promoting the righteousness of their sexuality. To them, though they may not verbalize it in this manner, their philosophy is "may God be dammed and anyone else be dammed, who opposes our sexual preferences and choices in life". In response to the various groups and religious institution who lobby against same sex marriage, and the rights many homosexuals say should come with it. A notably violent aspect of the homosexual response is becoming more and more evident. Here are a few quotes. From the practitioners of homosexuality. " I have never considered being a violent radical extremist for our equal gay rights. But now I think maybe I should consider becoming one. Perhaps that is the only thing that will affect the change we so desperately need and deserve." A homosexual by the name of "Joe" said, "I swear, I'd murder people with my bare hands this morning. On yet another site, "Americablog," "scottinsf" wrote, "Trust me. I've got a big list of names of Mormons and Catholics that were big supporters of Prop 8. . As far as Mormons and Catholics . I warn them to watch their backs.""On the "Queerty" website, "Stenar" asked, "Can someone in CA please go burn down the Mormon temples there, PLEASE. I mean seriously. DO IT." Another outraged homosexual said, "I'm going to give them something to be f#*!+#!!!! scared of. . I'm a radical who is now on a mission to make them all pay for what they've done," wrote "Jonathan." Matt Barber, director of cultural affairs for Liberty Counsel, called the statements "hate crimes" for their intent to create violence against someone based on their beliefs. Barber said "There were suggestions of a different type of violence, too. "Hope the gay waiters at their hotel p---ed in all the drinks they served these cretins," "Jake" sent a warning to all who advocate protection of traditional marriage. "If you're planning a heterosexual wedding in California . be prepared for picketers. Designate someone to watch the parking lot . You're going to have lots of unexpected expenses. Add $500 to your budget for security. . Be prepared for the flowers not lasting to the reception or the tuxedos showing up two sizes too small or the music at the reception being a way too loud or the cake tasting a little funny," stated another threat. "Be afraid. Be very afraid. We are everywhere!!!!!!!!! |
