One of the most damning traits of the left, a trait that would actually be humorous were it not so pernicious, is the attempt to frame whatever fad they wish to inflict upon the rest of us as a “reinterpretation” of history where “manufactured out of whole cloth” would be a better description. The underlying impulse here is two-fold. First, they try to gaslight you into believing that they are describing the way things have always been. Secondly, it is a re-emergence of the political version of the ancient Christian heresy of gnosticism, i.e. of having special knowledge.
The first thing one has to ask when confronted with “reinterpretation” is why are we only hearing this now? How have generations of really smart people, including people who were alive at the time, missed this?
Sometimes the outcome is rather benign. For instance, Kwanzaa is a manufactured holiday based on manufactured cultural ideals and derived from a language that would have been completely unknown to any ancestor of modern American blacks. Harriet Tubman, who actually did little of significance, has been catapulted from deserved obscurity to legendary heroine while much more significant, and less politically correct figures, like George Washington Carver, are virtually unheard of.
The fringe left National Socialist German Workers Party of pre-World War II Germany mounted expeditions to Tibet and constructed German history and racial mythos to justify its policies. Not only was history enslaved to politics but so was science (this is fairly close to what the Jerry Sandusky of Climate Change, Michael Mann, has done with his research).

I common canard is that Jesus never took a position on homosexuality.
Why would he have to? He came to preach The Word (The Torah) and that is quite explicit on its views of rights and wrongs.
thanx
The agnostic Left that champions homosexuality is not consistent. They promote Darwinian evolution as indisputable. Yet according to Darwinian law non procreative homosexuality is an aberration for the species. When something doesn’t or can’t reproduce , nature tends to eliminate it so as not to consume scarce resources that can better be used for propagation. Some non politically correct (and brave) evolutionary biologists have explained AIDS and the higher death rate in homosexuals in this context. Too bad the gays can’t find a judge to void natural law.
Historical revisionism — or just plain ignorance — is the marxist’s strongest weapon. If you would cripple a people’s future, destroy their past.
Our past is being destroyed as we speak.....in most classrooms of public education. Parents-READ YOUR CHILDREN’S TEXTBOOKS!! Don’t let your public school system teach lies!
Actually, he did. In both the Gospels of Mark and Matthew he condems "pornea". This word is generally translated "fornication" but the Greek work means all wrongful or unlawful sex. In the Jewish culture Jesus preached in this would unquestionably have included homosexual sex.
...fascists like today’s Democrat party and their ilk have ALWAYS been ones to ignore history, science, and common sense—to these cultural stormtroopers, humanity is a disposable commodity.
Ethnic cleansing, eugenics, abortion, any denigration of human life is their currency. Judeo-Christian institutions and ethics are either corrupted and perverted OR hated. Such is happening now in these United States.
Revival is happening in Africa, Asia and to some degree in South America.
Our nation, if we don’t repent, will be finished. And all the preening about our past won’t save us.
By the way, I think this is as true for the proud moralists who refuse to show compassion for the lost as it is for the hedonistic amoral individuals who refuse to acknowledge the existence of absolute truth.
Every single one of us need to turn to Christ on a daily basis, and live our lives by His Word.
Matthew 10:15. He compared refusing the Gospel to homosexual sin, the punishment for refusal of the Gospel being even more unbearable than the consequences suffered by the morally corrupt cities.
This is where He mentioned punishment for the sin of practicing homosexuality. God is consistent. He actually has a real problem with any type of sexual activity outside the marriage of a man and a woman, including homosexuality, bestiality, fornication and adultery, as was mentioned by our friendly duck hunter.
The ONLY homo marriage I’ve found is the “marriage” of Nero to his slave boy.
The historians of the time made much of it because it was not not normal.
Who controls the past controls the future.
Who controls the present controls the past.
Yes, the atheists, sexual perverts, and the Left have been propagating that lie for the last few years. Here is why it is false:
1. Jesus is God. He is the Son of Man, part of the Trinity, and co-equal to the Father. (John 10:30).
2. The Bible is God's inerrant Word, and in the Bible God clearly calls Homosexuality a detestible sin. (Genesis 19:5-8, Leviticus 18:22-23 and 20:13, 1 Timothy 1:9-10, 1 Corinthians 6:9, and Romans 1: 26-27).
3. Christ clearly said He came not to abolish any part of Scripture, but to also fulfill it. (Matthew 5:18). Therefore Christ directly stated that the condemnation against Homosexuality was true.
4. Christ chastized so-called learned men for not following the Scriptural descriptions of marriage of one man and one woman. ("Haven't you read," He replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female'" - Matthew 19:4). Christ also discussed marriage and divorce or men and women clearly, and distinctly.
5. Christ spoke openly of sin, Hell, and punishment for those who disobey God and attack the Truth. He spoke more about Hell than He did about Heaven.
The lies about Christ and His supposed "approval" of Homosexuality by ommission are wrong and are deliberate falsehoods.
Absolutely.
Yes, we do. Thanks.
And the days seem to be quickening towards some......end. Don't they?
If you would destroy a nation, first destroy it’s history.
Lies sources in the father of lies, a murderer from the start. Homosexuality will drag so many into Hell on ‘that day’, yet our own government now actively protects the perverse and their perversions and lies. Doesn’t bode well for We The People does it!
He never stated that the Torah’s words on sexual morality were null and void either, so keep that in mind. Adultery, fornication, and homosexual behavior, which were wrong under the Torah, would still be wrong.
