Well, campers, today is going to be another "Oh, crap, I can't believe he said that!" day, but it will all be truthful because I am quoting scriptures and citing other reliable, relevant sources. The truth to the left is like a bright heat lamp on a bunch of cockroaches in a dark room. It's kind of fun to watch them run around and then they slow down and start to crackle and blister and peel.....oh, sorry.....kind of a childhood diversion there.
Last week, the Supreme Court, in a five-four split decision NOT split by party line, but marriages of strange bedfellows, no pun intended, tossed out DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act, signed into law by Bill Clinton during his second term. The dissent argued that the federal government has no business sticking their noses into the marriage contract. Now, that would be a correct and accurate statement if America was based on secular principles. For all those that love and know the truth and accept the truth, America was not founded by SECULARISTS on SECULAR PRINCIPLES. America was founded by good and honest CHRISTIAN men, willing to stake their lives, their fortunes, and even their honor on this experiment we call the United States of America. The experiment of self-rule as opposed to feudal systems and monarchies and tyrants. Even a despot known as benevolent is still a despot.
Marriage is a contract for the secular, but to those who practice Judeo-Christian beliefs, it is a covenant. This covenant was created by God himself and given to Adam and Eve. "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." (Genesis 2:24, KJV).
"Therefore..," takes us back to what had just happened in this context. God saw it was not good for man to be alone, so He made a suitable helper. The record says that: "...the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man." On this occasion Adam said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman because she was taken out of Man." When these creation events took place, God said: "THEREFORE," or "for this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh."
Hebrews 13:4 says "Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled, but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
The point I am making is that marriage is not meant to be a secular contract. It is a blood covenant and a blood covenant being the most important covenant to God. When a man has intercourse with his virgin wife for the first time, there is the shedding of blood and I'm not going into the medical version of what happens. Just as when a man is circumcised there is a shedding of blood. The circumcision covenant is required by God for all those that are going to be faithful and live by His laws and Word and forsake all other idols, for there is ONE God under heaven and earth.
Before you are two excellent sets of examples as to why homosexuals are committing sin by their very lifestyle. They are unworthy of the covenant of marriage and the practice of their lifestyle choice leads to death, hell, and the grave.
Romans 1:27 says, "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 met."
For these very reasons, it proves why homosexuality does not meet God's standard for the covenant of marriage as He designed and wills it. Now don't even start with the "bigot" thing. That's a coward's argument. It's a straw man trying to pose as legitimate. I don't hate the "practitioner". I despise the sin. I'm not a bigot because I'm not judging. I am being faithful to the covenant marriage between myself and my wife. I am being faithful to the word of God. I am being faithful because the perverse act of homosexuality, whether it be women with women or men with men, is sick and unnatural to me. God also meant for marriage and intercourse to fulfill his other commandment. To go forth and populate the earth, to subdue the world, to use it and to be a steward of it. You cannot do any of that as a homosexual. You cannot reproduce. Blood lines are lost. Family trees are shunted at the root, at the place where sin came in.
The gay community, and I'm going to catch all kinds of hell for this, is not a natural community. They are not "born" gay. To insinuate that is to say that all the scriptures that I just listed are lies. Homosexuality is rebellion, plain and simple, in the oldest form. It existed in the days of Noah, in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, why do you think they call the act "sodomy"? Because it so reprehensible to the mind of a righteous man that God destroyed both those cities and you can't even find so much as a toothpick left on the grounds where they once stood, and their location was CLEARLY delineated in the Bible as to the southwest end of the Dead Sea. There were five cities there. They have found archaelogical ruins of the other three cities, but they have been pounding the sand for centuries and haven't found so much as a shard of pottery from Sodom or Gommorah.
For the children of homosexuals, you have to ask yourself, "Why are there so many studies that give no reason as to why homosexuals think that children raised in their households are better off than children in heterosexual homes?" I don't want to hear anything about how 73% of black children are born into fatherless households, or how the trend today is for heterosexual couples today not to marry or just live together. That is the other side of the coin, the other side of the sin of homosexuality: Promiscuity and fornication. People choosing to thumb their nose at the will of God, the word of God, and the holy covenant of marriage set forth by God from the other side of the River Sin (slight chuckle).
Finally, here is a very eye-opening link to an admission by a committed lesbian activist about the REAL agenda of gay marriage proponents: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/04/29/lesbian-activists-surprisingly-candid-speech-gay-marriage-fight-is-a-lie-to-destroy-marriage/
I try not to be too "fire and brimstone" because it tends to get the wishy-washy or unconvicted to fall back on their pre-conceived notions of what a Christian is. I can honestly say, and God is my judge and witness on this, I am so very much more happy and fulfilled being married to my wife, Lori, having my daughter, Alison, at my feet, living what most of you would call a boring life of day-to-day, I wouldn't trade that for a minute. For one, because I know I am living in the will of God and it is pleasing to him and our house chooses to follow the Lord.
I just had another thought. If homosexuals think they should have the right to legitimacy, like heterosexuals, then what is up with this juvenile rebellious ignorant behavior in their gay pride parades? They march up and down city streets dressed (if you can call it that) as ridiculously as any cartoon character I have seen. They scream and demand equal rights and fair consideration, yet they look like they just stepped out of the studios of Loony Tunes, drunk and slobbering all over each other, like salivating dogs in front of a butcher shop, simulating sex acts on the streets in front of whoever happens to be passing by and observing, yet demanding that the government stay out of their bedroom. It's the typical liberal left progressive mentality: Diversity means you have to think exactly the way I do, and if you don't, then you're a hateful bigot. There is no exchange of ideas or fair trade of principles. There is just disgusting shows of abberant behavior that even caged monkeys don't do in front of the whole world. How can anyone take seriously the demands of a man covered in more body hair than a wig shop dressed in platform shooes, a miniskirt, and a "blouse" open to the belly button with hair hair pouring out, a handbag, and pearls and a beard, and somehow we are to be approving and accepting and tolerant of his choice? If you are serious about what you say and you don't want the government in your bedroom, then grow up and keep this crap in your bedroom or your bath house. Even the Kardashians don't behave like this and they are moral bottom feeders in my opinion. Actually, I shouldn't call them bottom feeders because that gives carp, catfish, crabs, shrimp, and lobsters a bad name, not to mention it insults them.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 says 9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Galatians 5:19-21 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings,
murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell
you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do
such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
It's plainly self-evident to even the most clueless human on the planet (are you listening, Joe Biden?) that homosexuality is not a legitimate lifestyle, that marriage is only meant to be between a man and a woman, that marriage should be determined by the states individually and not by the federal government because the federal government was not set up to have its nose in every aspect of our lives. I do not care personally myself, even after all this, I don't care. I DON'T CARE. What I do care about is that we are at the end of the Age of Grace. At the end of that Age of Grace, there will be a withdrawing of the Holy Spirit which is the ONLY THING holding back evil like you have NEVER imagined and nothing in Hollywood could ever create. Satan is there. He is real and he is alive and the scriptures say he is roaring like a lion looking to devour whoever he can. He will deceive many just as scriptures state, which is why you see so many believing all sorts of lies.
