2003, the Year of the Homosexual

2003, the Year of the Homosexual

There can be no doubt about it now. The year 2003 has been a nuclear explosion for the expansion of the radical homosexual agenda. Almost every television sit-com has a homosexual character, always portrayed as funny, bright, and sweet. Even commercials are playing the sexual diversity card. Almost every major corporation has instituted “same sex” medical benefits. Our schools have become primary agents to press the homosexual lifestyle into the hearts and minds of our kids. Our local, state, and federal governments have all bowed and kissed the face of this deadly idol. And one had better never say a contrary word about homosexuality on our college campuses. You do at the risk of your own life. Yes, 2003 is a year that will go down in infamy. It will forever be remembered as “the year of the homosexual.”

Five years ago one could never have imagined the inroads that homosexuality would make into the culture of America . When I was in college in the 70's we studied about homosexuality in Sociology 101 under the title of “abnormal psychology.” Yes, homosexuality was placed right alongside those who liked to have sex with dogs, tail pipes of cars, cadavers, ad nauseam. Today the American Pyschiatric Association treats homosexuality like it is the noblest sexual practice on the face of the earth. What has happened?

The Bible tells us that because we exchanged the truth about God for a lie, that God's wrath would be revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness (Romans 1:18 -32). We, in America , have arrogantly cast God behind our backs and attempted to remove Him from our history, our law, our government, and our culture. Because we have, God Himself has turned us over to shameful lusts and to a depraved mind to do what ought not to be done. Women have exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. Men have also abandoned natural relations with women and are inflamed with lust for one another. Men are committing indecent acts with other men, and are receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error. Aids anyone?

When the Supreme Court of the United States of America found (in one of the constitutional penumbras?) that homosexual sodomy was, from this day forward, a new constitutional right, all hell broke loose! In one fell swoop, this court threw out God, His Law, 4,000 years of history, and its own past precedent, to declare sodomy, in all of its perverse forms, a constitutional right! In it's June 26 th rendering of Lawrence v. Texas ; the Supreme Court unleashed the very fury of hell upon our nation.

What came next was a cascading sequence of events from which our culture will not recover.

1. 3.2 million dollars was allotted by the state of New York to establish an all homosexual high school in New York City . It is named after dead homosexual activist, Harvey Milk. Its purpose is to educate a group of about 130 mixed up kids who believe they were born to be homosexual in a non-threatening environment. Of course this is a lie – no one was ever born to be a homosexual!

Yet, the state of New York has bought into the lie hook, line, and sinker. It has created a “MOST FAVORED STUDENT” status for the homosexual. By devoting a school to practicing homosexuals, it is cementing into the minds of our kids that homosexuality is a good thing, to be protected above all else. How do our kids over come this?

2. Next came the ordination of Rev. Eugene Robinson as a bishop in the Episcopal Church. Rev. Robinson is a practicing homosexual who left the wife of his youth and his children for a homosexual lover. That's right! The Episcopal Church of New Hampshire now has an adulterous practicing homosexual as its Bishop. Men in the pulpits are being turned over to a depraved mind. The United Methodist Church is close behind this rush to legitimize and normalize homosexual sodomy. If the Church is fumbling with this issue what should we expect from our government? When there is a fog in the pulpit there will always be a mist in the pew.

3. Evidence of that mist has been reflected in the decisions made by our “born-again,” evangelical President. George W. Bush has done more for the promotion and legitimization of the homosexual lifestyle than any President before him. Several openly homosexual men serve on the White House staff - more than ever served on Mr. Clinton's staff. President Bush appointed Michael Guest, an outspoken homosexual, to be the United States Ambassador to Romania . Guest is presently living with his partner of six years, Alex Navarez, in the official U.S. residence in Bucharest .

4. On October 14, 2003, President Bush sent a letter to the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) in Los Angeles congratulating homosexual activist Rev. Troy D. Perry on the occasion of MCC's 35 th anniversary. MCC is the largest homosexual denomination in the nation with churches in virtually every state. Its basic tenet is that one can be a practicing homosexual and a Christian at the same time. This lie, spawned in hell, is leading to the early death and eternal damnation of thousands of young men and women. The Metropolitan Community Church would be better named “The Synagogue of Satan.”

In the letter to Perry, President Bush stated, “ By encouraging the celebration of faith and sharing God's love and boundless mercy, churches like yours put hope in people's hearts and a sense of purpose in their lives…rejoice in God's faithfulness to your congregation.” Even the President of the United States of America is legitimizing homosexuality. It isn't love to send people to an early grave and to their eternal damnation. But it is good politics according to Karl Rove.

5. What came next was “the kiss.” Mickey Mousketeers, Brittany Spears and Christina Aguilara exchanged an open mouth kiss with a washed-up, elderly, Madonna (who looks like about 150 miles of bad road) at the MTV Music Awards. The whole world was watching as the Word of God was being blasphemed on national television. Our kids are getting the hint – sodomy is cool!

6. Just last week the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that homosexual couples are legally entitled to wed under the state constitution. Chief Justice Margaret Marshall wrote, “Barring an individual from the protection, benefits, and obligations of civil marriage solely because that person would marry a person of the same sex violates the Massachusetts Constitution.” This ruling is so patently absurd it defies all logic. The Constitution of the state of Massachusetts has been in existence for 387 years and no one has ever found homosexual sodomy to be a protected right by the state.

Make no mistake about it. Homosexuality is an all out frontal assault on the God of the Bible. The first human institution set up by God in the Bible was the institution of marriage. God blessed it. He even gave away the very first bride. Before church government and civil government there was the institution of Marriage. It is the absolute bedrock of the family. It is a union between a man and a woman where God makes out of two, one. There is no other human institution, given by God, which precedes this one.

It is out of this union between a man and a woman that Godly offspring are brought forth. This is God's desire. This was and is His purpose in creation. Any attack on the institution of marriage is an attack upon God Himself. Homosexuality is an outrageous attack upon God, His plan, and His purposes in creation. It is inspired by the devil and will lead to death those who practice it and the nation that approves of this behavior.

In the midst of these advances of the radical homosexual agenda in 2003, God pulled back the covers and exposed the lie of homosexuality for what it truly is and what it truly does. The tragic figure of Michael Jackson paints for us a portrait almost too sickening to view.
