Several days ago, national media organizations carried a breaking news
story of the changing position of the Roman Catholic Church toward
homosexuality. Whereas, it was nothing more than an embellishment of
impromptu and ill-advised remarks made by the Pope, it showcased the
ambition and drive of the homosexual agenda to promote the acceptance of
the vile and heinous sin of homosexuality throughout the world.
Without doubt, recently, there has been an avalanche of homosexual
stories in the media. Many of the stories are exaggerations,
misinformation, and sometime very morbid and crude untruths meant to
show homosexuality as a natural and viable lifestyle. People are told
homosexuality can be found among various species of animals, so humans,
being primates, are perfectly normal if they are homosexuals.
Professional players are being reprimanded for inappropriate homosexual
comments. Then, the wife of President of the United States, called a
homosexual person to congratulate him for “coming out” or openly letting
everyone know that he was a homosexual, and the list goes on.
Sadly, most people are not even aware of impact and the significance of
this torrent of homosexual information passed on as being normal and
innocuous. The media, especially in America and the UK, show a decided
bias never allowing stories about the opposite point of view to be told
or showcased (I guess it would be considered hate speech or some form of
phobia). Thus, the avalanche continues unabated, with younger people
and a new generation who have no fundamental religious upbringing or
teaching, destined to accept and embrace homosexual doctrine. They are
unsuspectingly being infected with the spiritual HIV virus.
During the 1980s was our first encounter with the dreaded HIV virus
which struck first at the homosexual community. The virus immobilizes
and destroys the human immune system. The resulting condition and
disease is called AIDS, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. The
disease doesn’t kill you; however, it leaves the body defenseless to the
ravages of all other diseases including the common cold. People who
contracted AIDS during the 1980s died quick and untimely deaths causing
much fear and trepidation among various communities.
Similarly and spiritually, homosexuality has the appearance of
toleration; live and let live: and we have a right as consenting adults
to do whatever we desire; but it’s a mirage and teaser for greater and
more profound wickedness and debauchery leading to the end of
civilization. Male and female represent the foundation of civilization.
If we recognize and accept a man pretending to be a woman or a woman
pretending to be a man as normal, we then endorse Satan’s greatest and
most vile deception…isn’t it a deception for someone to pretend to be
something that they are not???? Like Satan pretends to be God???
You see, if you accept homosexuality, a man having sexual relations with
another man or a woman having sexual relations with another woman,
then, what about polygamy; what about bestiality (apparently now on the
rise), what about lowering the age of sexual consent; what about a man
and his daughter, mother and son; and the devilish list can go on?
Evil then multiplies exponentially, thus, the “AIDS” effect of
homosexuality. Wow!
My friend, homosexuality is not a new
phenomenon. It’s an old, very old perverse sin and spiritual disease
that led to the utter destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. This is true!
This is real! This has happened! “And turning the cities of Sodom and
Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an
ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just
Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that
righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his
righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)” (2 Peter
2:6-8)
We, the human race, are known for this one thing:
repeating mistakes! We love doing the same things over and over again
hoping for a different result. We get smart; we invent stuff; we feel
enlightened; we have money; then, we become prideful and stupid.
“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, …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 recompence 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;” ( Romans 1:26-28)
Then, God has to step in and
clean it all up like Sodom and Gomorrah and in Noah’s time. “And as it
was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of
man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in
marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood
came, and destroyed them all.” (Luke 17:26-27) “Likewise also as it
was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they
sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of
Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.”
(Luke 17:28-30)
Homosexuality signals judgment! We are headed
in this direction with-I may add-speed! The Lord continues to warn us,
especially the spiritual leaders in America and the western world who
love to point fingers at the government to create a smokescreen for
their own wickedness. You see, if there is no revival, and the Church
of the Lord Jesus Christ does not travail in prayer and revival, the
Lord himself will judge. This generation will not pass away until
everything is fulfilled. That means dire judgment!!! Remember Sodom
and Gomorrah! Remember Noah! Lot waited until it was too late before
running around like a chicken with his head chopped off telling
everyone about the impending doom. The present church is no different.
Living lavishly in the present world, we are that Laodicea church, rich
in goods and believe we have need of nothing. (no real evangelism)
(Revelations 3:14-22) Yet, we are divorced, selfish, self-centered and
without spiritual illumination. God help us!!
We are the
light of the world. We are the salt of the earth. We have a job to
tell our neighbors about the Living Christ and the God who can save any
one. We are to share God’s love with the world. Before my wife passed
away, she did this: There was a young man who was a homosexual that
worked at a large department store where I live. When we visited the
store, he seemed to vault his homosexual behavior. He would throw his
hips. He would act real feminine and the like. One day, my wife
witnessed to him telling him about the love of Jesus and praying with
him. About two weeks later, when I visited the store, he ran up to me to
tell me about his new found relationship with Jesus Christ. He was
simply ecstatic! He didn't have religion, no, he had a real relationship
with the man called Christ! He recounted to me how he found Christ and
his new devotion to witnessing and telling others about Christ. God is
still in the saving business…let’s get busy and put a stop to the AIDS
disease!
