Christanity, homosexuals’ worst nightmare!

Fri Mar 08, 2013

Editor: While some in our Vincentian society appear indifferent to the growing influence of homosexuality, there is an agenda being pursued which many are still ignorant of. It is an agenda by the homosexual movement to destroy Christianity as we know it. The Christian religion is the greatest moral resistance to the sodomite’s deviant behaviour. This has made Christianity the homosexual’s worst nightmare and a target to be silenced.{{more}}

Homosexual Micheal Swift, writing in Gay Community News magazine in February 1987, wrote of a gay revolution where “All churches who condemn us will be closed.” The criticism and condemnation of their lifestyle as a sin does not sit well with them. Their desire to practise their unnatural sexual abomination without any voice of criticism by Christians has caused them to push for the shutting down of the Christian voices on radios and other media in recent times. The hate crimes laws and policies in countries like the United States and Canada have caused Christians in these places to be charged and even arrested for quoting scriptures which condemn homosexuality as a sin.

In 1987, Steve Warren, a leading spokesman for the homosexual group ACT UP, in an article written in the gay magazine, The Advocate, warned those he called “homophobes”. He threatened erasing passages from the scriptures and re-writing them to suit the homosexual sinful behaviours. It’s an assault on the morality of Christianity. Here is a portion of what he demands of Christians:

“Henceforth, homosexuality will be spoken of in your churches and synagogues as an ‘honorable estate.’ You can either let us marry people of the same sex, or better yet abolish marriage altogether. … You will be expected to offer ceremonies that bless our sexual arrangements … we will in all likelihood want to expunge a number of passages from your Scriptures and rewrite others, eliminating preferential treatment of marriage and using words that will allow for homosexual interpretations of passages describing biblical lovers such as Ruth and Boaz or Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.”

They can attempt to influence people to misinterpret plain scriptures to excuse and embrace the sin of homosexuality, but they cannot change God’s condemnation of it.

In 1985 two homosexual activists, Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen, in a gay magazine called Christopher Street, urged homosexuals to “undermine the moral authority of homophobic churches by portraying them as antiquated backwaters, badly out of step with the times. …” They suggested that homosexuals should “muddy the moral waters”.

The push by the homosexual agenda goes beyond allowing two men to hug, kiss and have sex in their own bedrooms. It is an outright war against Christianity, because of the Christian’s opposition of their behaviour as a sin. It is a war rooted in the desire to “shut up” the Christian’s opposing voice and prevent us from showing people that this practice was punished by God in His destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. It is an attack on our religious liberty and freedom of conscience, an all-out attempt to remove from all Christian churches the moral condemnation of the iniquity of sodomy.

A lesbian lawyer, Barbara Findlay, sums it up this way: “the legal struggle for queer rights will one day be a showdown between freedom of religion versus sexual orientation.” The fact is, wherever homosexual ‘marriage’ is accepted in law, our freedom of religion always suffers. Christians are not allowed to preach that homosexuality is sin and that God will punish unrepentant homosexuals in His judgment. This is the situation in Canada and certain states in the USA currently.

The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, as recorded in Genesis 19, still stands as evidence of God’s hatred for the sin of homosexuality. If we are followers of God, we are to warn men and women of God’s wrath for this sin, regardless of the consequences. I hope to continue this discussion next week.
