AN ADDRESS TO THE GAY AND LESBIAN LIFESTYLE:
BLURRING THE BOUNDARIES OF CHRIST'S VIRTUOUS COUNSEL
WITH A SPIRIT DEMANDING INDEPENDENCE FROM HIS WORD

“Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.” “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.” Rev.3:10; I Jn.2:16

     Little do men see where their course is tending and the fate of this present world as a result (Isa.24). The obstacles to Christ’s salvation are increasing every day with men, both in and out of the Christian faith, stretching the boundaries of what is falsely declared to be virtuous living into full blown apostasy. In this chosen heading of modern man, Paul prophesied: “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” II Tim.3:13. As with little children who push the boundaries of disobedience until the hand of restraint comes upon them, grownups are pushing an agenda that openly and unabashedly clashes with the plainest words of Jesus Christ, even while many claim fidelity in His service.

     The Bible is explicit in its words of encouragement and warning concerning the legal right for the Holy Spirit to dwell in our souls. I know this danger first-hand.

Testimony of The Great Danger I Brought On Myself

     In the summer of 1990 I gave my heart to Jesus Christ, and for two years was avidly adoring Him, reading and following the Bible's counsel, and praying to GOD. But then it happened! What I thought I would never do again I did: I indulged in sin against GOD'S Ten Commandment Law and was habitually carrying it out in my life. I continued my attendance at church, my fellowship with friends, my Bible studies, even my prayers. The Spirit of GOD brought the appropriate verses to my mind to get me to turn from the course of life that I had welded to my soul. I ignored them and continued on. But the Creator we serve wasn’t going to sit idly by and watch me die the eternal death! He personally came to me to warn me of my sinful course that was threatening our companionship together.

     Going to my computer one day, as I did every day, I brought up a document I was working on, and at the top of the page was typed a word: a large, all capital letter word: "ACEPHALOUS." I didn’t type this word! No one else was there to type it. I had never seen this word in any book or vocabulary before and didn’t even know what it meant. So I looked it up in the dictionary. It’s definition is, “headless;” ”having no head;” “lacking a governing head.” I knew that the Bible teaches that Christ is “head of the church,” and “head of the body, the church” (Eph.5:23; Col.1:18). So ACEPHALOUS declared that I was Christless! I was in a lost condition! The Holy Spirit had no part in my soul during this time! No heavenly power dwelled within to raise my mortal soul to everlasting life (Rom.8:11)! In my indulgence in sin I stood as Samson when his continued ignoring of his own sin brought him to a place of great danger: “And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him.” Jud.16:20. All should take heed to this lesson and the LORD’S instruction to ‘turn the corner.’

     But the GOD of Heaven, His Holy Spirit, and my Guardian Angel did not abandon me. Oh no! I was led to the words of Jesus: “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten.” Rev.3:19. So I knew I was still loved and not forsaken. GOD’S personal warning to me was a demonstration to show the true character of GOD in the midst of my sin. The quality of the voice leading in my heart was compassionate, solemn and plaintive: not harsh and condemning. It was the same love that when Peter denied Jesus the third time with cussing, the Bible says, “And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter.” Lu.22:61. Peter looked into the eyes of his Master. The look in His eyes, the expression of His face, the posture of His stance, was only of pure love, compassion and hope, without a hint of anger, disgust, or abandonment. “And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.” (v.62). And so did I.

     The LORD then led me to the passage of His promise of deliverance whose words were carried by His Holy Spirit into the marrow of my bones: “For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.” Isa.54:7-10.

     From that moment forward I knew I was forgiven; and I repented a deep repentance; and thus, fulfilled the words: “the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance.” Rom.2:4. The Word of GOD set me free. Every corner I’ve ever been backed into; every situation I’ve ever faced, the Word of GOD has always set me free. “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” Jn.8:36.

     We want to examine one area of today's industrial/moral/social agenda that has infected multitudes with its cancerous effects against the dignity of life: the corporate course of humanity leading our world to its ruin. With President Obama fully endorsing gay marriage, it is wise to understand why GOD calls all adultery sin against the 7th Commandment: whether you agree or disagree with this religious platform to govern life. As a result of his public encouraging of same sex intercourse, he has forfeit any rights to claim the Bible's Gospel of Jesus Christ. There are too many passages disqualifying his claim to serve GOD and his fellow man based on his military, economic and social decisions as President. The point is, don't say you're a Christian when you are not. If you are going to claim Christ as “LORD and Saviour” of your life, you do it according to Christ's boundaries of salvation, or be honest with everyone and say, "We will not have this Man to reign over us." Lu.19:14.

     To promote a lifestyle that GOD warned long ago not only leads to the heartache and dismantling of the human family but also opens the door to the spirit of hatred and murder, [that step-by-step developed in the social structure of Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen.19)] flies in the face of all that is “holy, and just, and good.” When the dangers against this social imposition are exposed, especially where vulnerable children are involved, carnal minded men who despise GOD in their hearts (Rom.8:7) always rise up to condemn the messengers of GOD’S unmistakable absolutes. And that same hateful spirit is seen in Christians, Muslims, Atheists, etc. and is becoming more or more prominent with life's increasing insecurity through the mismanagement of both religion and secular government.

     In principle, all sin is simply this: anything that threatens the security of life’s perpetuation, GOD calls it a sin. Let's briefly examine this.

     I have spent summers with children infected with the AIDS virus at a children's camp called The Boggy Creek Gang in Central Florida. This camp was raised up by Paul Newman and General "Stormin' Norman" Schwarzkopf who used their clout to raise 34 million dollars to build it. Children bear this terminal disease because of the decisions of adults to spread adultery. This is the only reason children suffer from this disease. If there was no adultery the kids would not have AIDS! And adultery is encouraged in every aspect of our society from the financial dynasties of pornography and television to the lifestyles of homosexuality and various addictions. This is where we see a gruesome consequence from the violation of the 7th Commandment of Jesus Christ (John.8:58), that says, "Thou shalt not commit adultery." And few in our society have the humility to acknowledge that American law contributes to the murder of innocent children. This murder of children violates the 6th Commandment that says, "Thou shalt not kill." And now, to evade responsibility, most who are collaborators with this murder choose to pass the responsibility to another, which violates the 9th Commandment that says, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." Adultery has literally stolen the lives of these children, which violates the 8th Commandment that says, "Thou shalt not steal." Do you see that to violate any of the Ten Commandments is to violate them all? And if they were obeyed there would be no wars or locks on doors. But this world denies the very law where we are safe in one another's care.

     These children were handed the death sentence because others demand their unbridled freedom, regardless of the cost to others, even to the literal sacrifice of the lives of children. Our society has adopted a cruel indifference preventing them from seeing the great lesson of the 6th Commandment, which teaches, To neglect to save life is to kill. The value of life needs to be held as sacred to us all because to insure the security of others is to insure the same security for ourselves. And so, to remove the security of life for others is to remove that same security of life for ourselves.

     In summation: our society encourages the continued and expanding violation of the Ten Commandments, all under a distorted definition of freedom, WHICH IS REALLY NO FREEDOM AT ALL FOR THOSE VICTIMIZED BY ITS ABUSE.
