Nearly
everyone has heard about how the United States Supreme Court legalized homosexual
marriage, a victory for the LGBT community, and a defeat for Christians.
However, most true believing Christians were not surprised by what occurred. In
fact, my new book, Proclaiming Truth to a
World in Love with Lies, predicted this would happen. Furthermore, I
predict things are only going to get worse for those who follow Jesus Christ
and proclaim His Word. Christians will lose ground, slowly at first, then, they
will lose ground with great speed, like a runner sprinting the last ten meters
to the finish line.
American
Christians are just joining the club that a lot of Christians around the world
already belong to. A club Jesus himself predicted when He said the world will
hate you because of Me (Matthew 10:22, Mark 13:13, and John 15:18-25). Welcome
to a world that is rejecting God.
I am weary
of all the smoke and mirrors used by the LGBT community and those who support
sin, but let us look at a typical argument they use. The quote below is from
Sally Kohn, from The Daily Beast (ironically, we find the Beast in Revelation killing
the saints of God).
Will anti-gay Christians be
politically and socially ostracized? I sure hope so. Just as those orthodox
Christians who still believe in strict, traditional gender roles have been
increasingly mocked as absurd. Once upon a time, marriage constituted property—the
wife was the literal property of the husband, and could not legally let alone
culturally [ sic ] own anything of her own. The governing
cultural norm was that women should be barefoot, pregnant and subservient.
We will
discuss the first part of what she said later, but let us first look at this
statement she made, “Once upon a time,
marriage constituted property”. First
off, you need to understand what the writer here is doing. It is called a “non sequitur argument”. In Latin, non sequitur means “does not follow”,
and occurs when a statement and conclusion have nothing to do with each other. It
is a tactic considered very poor in philosophical discussions. Do Homosexual
marriage and a woman being property of her husband have anything in common? No!
Furthermore, she “baits” you into think that the Bible and Christianity is the
cause of women being property, expected to be “barefoot, pregnant, and
subservient.” The Bible tells us the
truth. Sometimes, it tells us how things were even though it was wrong to do
so. King David had a harem. His son Solomon had a bigger harem. That does not
mean God condoned it. Jesus said as much, one man, one woman, united in
marriage. Women were often property in Bible times, but nowhere in the Bible
does it say women are to be the property of their husband. Nowhere! Comparing women’s
rights to homosexual marriage, is a non
sequitur argument. Many have tried the same non sequitur argument equating race (the color of your skin) to
homosexual marriage. Again, non
sequitur! Nowhere in scripture does it state it is a sin to
have dark skin. Nowhere! On the flip side, it does say homosexuality is an
abomination to God (Romans 1).
Comparing cultural
issues to moral issues is the tactic writers supporting homosexual marriage
love to use. They hope you do not know your Bible. Does the Bible say, “thou
shalt pay a woman half what a man is paid for the same job?” No! Does it
happen? Yes. Therefore, it is a cultural issue. Does the Bible say, “The darker
your skin, the less rights and freedoms thou shalt have?” No! Does the Bible say
you should be treated different if your skin is dark? No! Does racism still exist?
Yes! Martin Luther King did not go against God or the Bible fighting for the
rights of black men and women. He had every right to fight against the culture
of the day.
Homosexual
marriage is very different. It is a moral war. Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put
darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and
sweet for bitter. Isaiah 5:20. Unlike racism or women’s rights, the
LGBT demand that their evil be accepted as normal, be called good. This forces
a Christian to choose whether to obey God and His Word, or disobey. Unlike
racism and women’s rights, the LGBT will fight against God and His people.
Having said that, let’s go back to the article from Sally Kohn.
“Will anti-gay Christians be
politically and socially ostracized? I sure hope so.”
Ostracized
is only the first step. I will tell you this; what comes next, is much more
sinister. Funny though, how people like Sally show themselves to be exactly
what they are trying to portray Christians to be. Look what she says later on
in The Daily Beast article.
“As for everyone else, including
florists and county clerks, yes, you will now have to provide the same services
to straight couples that you provide to gay couples. Don’t like it? Find a new
job.”
“Intolerance and hate have lost.”
Ironic, is
it not, that she says Christians have lost (Intolerance and hate are code words
for Bible believing Christians), yet tells them to “find a new job” and hopes Christians
will be “politically and socially ostracized”! This sounds like pure
intolerance to me, with a taste of hate, aimed at Biblical Christians.
There will
always be light filled Christians who will show love to the homosexual,
transvestites, adulterers, swingers, and every other sinner under the sun, even
though those like Sally will show us hate. Why? Because we are sinners, saved
by Grace, but still sinners. God loved us while we were sinners, so we to
should love while others are in sin. I will tell you this though. To say
homosexuality is good, transvestites are fine with God, and swinging is adult
fun, is showing your absolute hate toward these poor people. Without Jesus saving
them from their sin, there fate will be eternity in hell. We must, and I mean
must, show our love to the sinner, by letting them know what sin is, and how
Jesus saves us from those sins.
