This jaw-dropping revelation is based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s latest assessment of the homosexual lifestyle. The WSJ report further warns: “Gay and bisexual men represent an estimated 2 percent of the U.S. population but more than half of all people living with HIV and 66 percent of new HIV infections. They are the only population group in the United States for which HIV infections are rising.”
What do you say of an adult or adults who, for selfish political reasons, encourage sexually confused children to adopt a sex-centric identity and lifestyle laced with a 50-50 chance of HIV infection? I’d say they’re guilty of child abuse. Adults are supposed to protect children from touching the red-hot stove, not push their face down on it.
This is true hate.
Scripture admonishes, “The wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). Unnatural behaviors beget natural consequences. It is hateful to promote a sin-centered lifestyle to children, to anyone for that matter, which leads to disease, death and, unless repented of, eternal separation from God.
It bears repeating: “[H]alf of all gay and bisexual men will be HIV-positive by age 50.”
The wages of sin is death.
Yet in today’s upside-down world it is we who are disingenuously accused of “hate” – those of us who remain compassionate and bold enough to warn our fellow fallen human beings of the spiritual, emotional and, yes, even the physical death that comes as a natural consequence of unnatural behaviors. A toxic cloud of political correctness distorts reality, choking off any honest appraisal of these self-destructive sexual behaviors. We truly live in a dark age that calls evil good and good evil.
Homosexual conduct is always sin. It always has been. It always will be. It is never good, healthy, normal or natural.
The wages of sin is death.
I’m honored to say that I’m one of those “haters” called by God to sound the alarm. While folks do send me positive and encouraging notes on a regular basis, I likewise receive a steady stream of hate mail – chiefly when I write (or speak) on the issues of marriage, God’s moral law and His natural order for human sexuality.
While the positive correspondence is always heartening, it is, believe it or not, the nasty stuff – the uglier the better – that especially lifts my spirits. Christ’s promises are true: “Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake” (Matthew 5:11).
When God calls you to be an instrument of His truth, the biblical harmonies you play will often strike sour with those in rebellion against Him, sending them into blind rage and deep denial. This is a spiritual battle old as time itself. It is between good and evil. It is sublimely humbling to be used of God in this way. All we, all you, as faithful Christians can do is to speak truth in love and pray that those truths plant a seed that bears fruit in the hardened hearts of lost souls.
I have seen this happen many times.
One example occurred in October of 2009. I was keynoting a fundraiser for the pro-family group “Americans for Truth About Homosexuality” (AFTAH) in suburban Chicago.
Outside the event, and watched closely by police, was a mob of angry “LGBT” protesters. A young woman who claimed to be with the press was present at the banquet. It was quickly discovered that she was actually with the mob outside and had somehow managed to sneak in. Rather than kick her out, Peter LaBarbera, founder of Americans for Truth, asked her to stay and join us for the banquet. He requested only that she put away her video camera, which she did.
This young woman, who identified as a lesbian, sat at a table with some of the most loving and godly women I know. They showed her the love of Christ. Among them was Sandy Rios, my dear friend, Fox News contributor and AFR talk radio host.
After I gave my remarks, this young lady – we’ll call her Marie to protect her from being hanged for high treason by the “equality” crowd – rushed over to me with tears in her eyes. “They lied!” she exclaimed of the protest organizers outside. “You don’t hate us. You don’t hate me. You really do care. And you’re funny!” she added of some of the humor I typically, though not always successfully, weave into my writing and speaking.
“I’ll admit it,” she continued. “What you said was hard to hear. But they lied to me. You don’t hate anyone.”
A number of us then prayed for this priceless daughter of God the Father. She stayed around and visited with us until well after the event ended. Sandy Rios and I then walked her out, where we were greeted with scowls and profanity-laden taunts by the activists outside.
“What are you doing with them!” demanded one of the protesters of our new friend. To even my surprise, she ignored them, reached over and gave me a big hug.
She saw that we loved her. She saw that Christ, in us, loved her. He died for our sins, her sins, and for the sins of each of her fellow protesters.
We learned that her friends, her ride home, had abandoned her and, as I recall, Sandy drove her home that night, continuing to minister to her along the way and for some time thereafter.
Yes, they lied. We don’t hate you.
This is the true face of the vast majority of so-called “anti-gay” Christians. This story is but a microcosm for the larger movement.
It is truth.
And it is love.
But sadly, truth is hate to those who hate truth.
To you homosexual activists, I say this: We will not be daunted. We will not be intimidated. We will never quit.
We do this in obedience to the Holy Spirit.
Like He did before us, we are going to love you.
But, as did He, we are also going to tell you the truth.
And we’re going to do it whether you like it or not.
My brother went through a similar thing, identifying with a chicken... We wer e going to seek help, but then eggs hitntwo dollars a dozen
Back when I was young we called girls like your niece a “tom boy”. I was one of those but I married young to a great guy and we will soon celebrate 57 happy years together.
Yeah, but does “he” still put the little plastic clip back on the bread wrapper or does “she” now just give it a twist and tuck it under the loaf????
They have been instructed to accept it.
yes, there is a saying “hurt people hurt people”
“but for most of them, that is an easy choice compared to a lifetime of agony.
Even Saudi Arabia now agrees, that after extensive analysis and medical opinion, that such surgery should be permitted.”
Where’d you get this, from the ABC after school movie of the week?
A little sex reassignment and life is peachy? Hell, lately we’ve heard of a study that found that the misfit feelings waned with time in the absence of surgery.
Humans aren’t analogous to animals as Humans are made in the Image of God and are expected by God to rise to Him.
I think Lesbians actually have a pretty low HIV risk, don’t they? Women who sleep with men that fool around are at a higher risk.
Excellent point! Yes, when I was growing up there were many tom-boys and we all were allowed to be ourselves and to mature into young ladies without any outside pressure. Now it seems that the mere hint of athletic aggressiveness gets a girl labeled and probably singled out for grooming as a lesbian.
Scripture disagrees with this.
"He prepared it, indeed, He searched it out. And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to depart from evil is understanding.’”
Job 28:28
God wants us to obey by faith and submission.
Homosexuals want to normalize their homosexuality within the Church so that they can destroy it as opposed to their sin.
It’s nice happy talk to write about turning one lesbian to the truth but it’s a war against the Church that is brewing and nice happy talk won’t cut it. What will cut it is a marriage amendment.
Sin is sin. It is sin for heterosexuals to lie, drink and do drugs in church just as it a sin for homosexuals to promote their perversion as normal and natural in Church.
After which one derives understanding. So I take it you have loaded up and are ready to leave your home for a year? Or are you poor? If so, upon whose estate are you staying to care for it? Got the next six years planned?
Anne Heche is the poster child of that. She’s a good example to bring up sometimes if the subject comes up.
I recall seeing a post here where lesbians tended to be overweight to obese. I’m no shrink, but I think it is the first line of defense against getting hit on by guys, then the guys get blamed (for not hitting on them) and the fugue is on...layers of problems and resentments, there. I can’t honestly say I have ever seen one who really seemed happy.
Are you living in a fantasy world of made up commands?
Not a bit. Try looking carefully at the Hebrew in Exodus 23:11, a commandment you have clearly never even contemplated much less obeyed in your entire life.
Since I'm not Jewish, this doesn't apply to me. Have you obeyed it?
Frankly I’m in tears after that earlier post.
I am writing a letter directed at a lesbian I was acquainted with many years ago.
I must acknowledge my disconnection from her when she was feeling so much pain in her life.
That’s all my letter says. Nothing about her behavior.
Its all about my part in the situation. I need to acknowledge my wrongs.
God loves all sinners, and our part is to love the sinner and hate the sin. Temptation comes to all, but usually in those troubled times of youth.
Most of us resist what we know is wrong, however prayer and deliverance isn’t there for some....some things go not out but by prayer and fasting. “WE all need to fast for those we know who are struggling.” However if they do not put in God and his Word, there will be worse attacks....and maybe a deepening of sin.
There are times God sidelines us from relationships because that person cannot go where he is sending us, or will be a distraction of his purpose in our life. So don’t beat yourself up, it may have been his will to separate you at the time.
That is a cop-out based upon a Jewish interpretation that was distorted by practice pursuant to historical choices that no longer apply. The principles and benefits v. punishments of that law still DO apply and are observable worldwide (knida like you'd expect with divine law). It is clear however, that you have no concept for them, having never contemplated that statute deeply, or you would understand its direct application to your life (consider its centrality in Matthew 25). And yes, I wrote that book. What I am addressing is your pontificating to me about obedience, quite apparently misunderstanding what I posted. You are so full of yourself that you were blinded.
Have you obeyed it?
I have certainly made arrangements and attempts to do so in terms of its literal interpretation, but I do fall considerably short. This was to be a societal commandment, and as such we as SO far from it that it is effectively impossible to do, Abel being long dead. The next edition will make that quite clear.
