PART II – L-G-B….T-Q-A…M-O-U-S-E….
It is everywhere! The cultural landscape has undergone such massive shifts in the last quarter century that it is nearly unrecognizable as the same society. One of the most prominent changes has been the adoption by the culture at large, of an ethic that at first tolerated, then welcomed and now demands not only equal protection, not only acceptance, but wholehearted celebration of the entire radical homosexual agenda. In the name of an ultra-tolerance, Western civilization is throwing off the wisdom of the centuries in pursuit of this highest of ideals.

The America that once was is no more. That is a fact! Whether it will be resurrected is another matter entirely. And that is entirely up to us. God sent Jonah to Nineveh – the worst city in the world in its’ time – with a warning of coming judgement. Nineveh repented and was spared. But Sodom and Gomorrah saw God’s hand of judgment. They refused to turn from their sin. America has been given a time of reprieve. It is a time to repent and seek God’s face. That clock is running.
A large part of the change that America has seen is in the area of sexuality. The sexual revolution had antecedents that date back to at least the 1920s, however it really gained steam in the 1960s. That momentum has continued since, overthrowing the cultural and religious norms that had existed for centuries in the West. Marriage was diminished. Intercourse was desacralized. As a result, sexuality, in all its facets, is no longer defined “the way that God intended it to be used (based on His revelation) for the greatest fulfillment of human beings.”[i] So what we have now, is intentional chaos. That is the currency of the realm in any society that, in a rebellious fit of human sovereignty, throws-off Godly injunctions.
As proof of this we saw the LGBTQ label emerge, beginning in the 90s to describe the various streams in the “Rainbow Community.” That of course refers to lesbians, gays, bisexuals, trans-genders and queers. But that was not enough to describe the various permutations of sexuality and gender that people were claiming. So more and more were added to the soup. The website, “A Path”, that seems to have garnered some traction in this matter, declares that there are 63 genders.[ii] (They are only off by 61.) [Now the name of the website is the key to understanding just where this is coming from. The folks of “A Path” define it this way. “Everyone walks their own path through life seeking growth and union with Spirit, whatever they perceive Spirit to be. Different religions take their paths through different territories, different cultures affect the scenery, and each person walks a slightly different path. However, All Paths Eventually End at Spirit.”[iii] Jesus takes a not-slightly different view of the matter. “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” (Matthew 7:13-14) – Just sayin’.]
But what are they talking about, with all of this multi-genderism? The people at Gender Spectrum try to explain to us the dimensions of gender. “While our gender may begin with the assignment of our sex, it doesn’t end there. A person’s gender is the complex interrelationship between three dimensions….our body….our deeply held, internal sense of self as male, female, a blend of both, or neither…[and our] Expression: how we present our gender in the world and how society, culture, community, and family perceive, interact with, and try to shape our gender. Each of these dimensions can vary greatly across a range of possibilities.”[iv] This nonsense has become so pervasive that some parents are trying to raise their kids without gender. Instead of calling their little one a ‘baby’ they’re referring to (?) as a ‘theyby.’ An article in Babble explains. “These parents, known as ‘gender-creative parents,” know the sex of their child based on anatomy; yet in as many cases as possible, they do not reveal that information to others, lest someone attach a gender label based on their child’s body parts. From birth, these gender-creative kids are given they/them pronouns rather than he/she.” They’re doing this so that their child will not be “boxed into gender stereotypes.” Here’s one parent of a two-year old. “I’m very tired of the heteronormative and cisnormative model. I’m very tired of the patriarchy. A part of why we are parenting this way is because intersex people exist, and transgender people exist,
(Yeah, I had to look it up too.)]and queer people exist, and sex and gender occur on a spectrum, yet our culture loves to think people, all 7 billion of them, can and should be reduced to either/or.”[v] [Cisnormative pretty much means your gender matches your plumbing.Now it’s not just a demand that society ‘tolerate’ the new morality. It’s the fact that we are demanded to accept and embrace and celebrate this perversity. And now, as we are quite far down this road, we are seeing that the force of law is being utilized to bring into line those who hold to the precepts of the Bible and the Judeo-Christian tradition, upon which this nation was founded. A UK preacher was arrested and jailed after quoting the Bible to a gay teen. “Gordon Larmour, 42, was charged by police after telling the story of Adam and Eve to a 19-year-old who asked him about God’s views on homosexuality. The street preacher referred to the Book of Genesis and stated that God created Adam and Eve to produce children. Within minutes he was frogmarched to a police van, accused of threatening or abusive behaviour ‘aggravated by prejudice relating to sexual orientation.”[vi] In 2013, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that language in a flyer that quoted scriptures opposing homosexuality was ‘hate speech.’ In New Mexico, a photographer was fined $700 for refusing to shoot a same sex ceremony. Some Vermont bed and breakfast owners settled a lawsuit brought by a pair of lesbians with a similar same complaint.[vii] Just this year, David Mackereth, lost his government job and was declared ‘unfit to work’ for expressing his opinion that gender is determined at birth. “I believe that gender is defined by biology and genetics and that as a Christian the Bible teaches us that God made humans male or female. I could have kept my mouth shut but it was the right time to raise it.” Of course, the good doctor was right. We quoted this last week but it’s worth re-stating. “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” (Genesis 1:27) (KJV)
And then there’s this, again from the UK. “The British-based Christian TV Station Revelation was fined six thousand Euros for ‘homophobic’ remarks made on a breakfast show last year.” They were talking about the decision that one Christian family made to remove their child from a school when one of his classmates identified as transgender. He talked about the moral slide of society, saying that if it isn’t stopped, “we will have Sodom and Gomorrah at our doorsteps.” He expressed the opinion that the LGBTQ movement “has become aggressive, it has become heavy, and if we don’t confront this militancy it is going to get worse…. these guys are carrying out what I call social engineering. They ́re coming with ideas of their own, in order to lead society in a particular direction. But we must not allow that to happen. Let the child grow up naturally and when they are old enough let them decide what they want to do. At 18, they will decide whatever they want to do, having the freedom to do so.” He finished with this totally accurate assessment. “We need to understand that the people behind this agenda are not foolish, they know exactly what they are doing, they know that, at that age, the child doesn’t have a clue what is going on, so if they can manage to manipulate those kids to believe that this is what is natural, that will stick to the children. They like to get hold of a generation ahead of time, so that when they finally are 20 or 25, the whole world has changed to exactly where they want to be with that agenda.”[viii]
But of course, all of this is pretty much nonsense….and proven so by research conducted by scientifically-honest advocates for their own cause. [To paraphrase Shakespeare, ‘they are hoisted with their own petard.’] To start with, we must understand that the theology behind the LGBTQ movement is based on “strange myths” without any real basis in science. [And I am talking theology. The ‘Movement’ has become a religion for its adherents – and they are fully committed to converting the world to the righteousness of their cause. And like another religion with evangelical zeal, they are perfectly fine with using force to achieve their goals.] Now when we talk about these “strange mysteries” we’re talking about things like being ‘born this way,’ or that we need to accept the claims of the transgendered – based upon how they feel. Acceptance of these myths have resulted in school bathroom policies that open girl’s bathrooms and showers to males claiming that today they ‘feel like a girl.’ But the fact is, the basis for such thinking is truly of a mythological nature. Here’s how it was reported on Lifesite News. In August of 2016 landmark study was published in The Journal – The New Atlantis. The periodical is a respected “journal of science, technology and ethics.” The article “analysed the scientific evidence of LGBT issues published to date in scientific journals.” One author of the study was a professor of psychiatry, statistics and biostatistics at Arizona State, Dr Lawrence Meyer. He has been an expert witness in dozens of cases concerning discrimination against the LGBT community, “strongly supporting equality and opposing discrimination for the LGBT Community.” His co-author was Dr Paul McHugh, formerly the chief psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins – and considered one of the leading psychiatrists in the world.” Here are some of the conclusions of their study.
- “The belief that sexual orientation is an innate, biologically fixed human property – that people are “born that way” – is not supported by scientific evidence.
- The belief that gender identity is an innate, fixed human property independent of biological sex – so that a person might be a ‘man trapped in a woman’s body’ or ‘a woman trapped in a man’s body’ – is not supported by scientific evidence.
- Only a minority of children who express gender-atypical thoughts or behaviour will continue to do so into adolescence or adulthood. There is no evidence that all such children should be encouraged to become transgender, much less subjected to hormone treatments or surgery.
- Non-heterosexual and transgender people have higher rates of mental health problems (anxiety, depression, suicide), as well as behavioral and social problems (substance abuse, intimate partner violence), than the general population. Discrimination alone does not account for the entire disparity.”
Not long after, Dr Lisa Diamond, a “top researcher for the American Psychological Association (APA) [and] lesbian activist” who just happened to been the chief author of the APA Handbook on sexuality and psychology “admitted that sexual orientation was ‘fluid’ and not unchangeable. By doing so, Dr. Diamond confirmed that the myth that ‘homosexuals can’t change’ is now a dead-end theory.” That fact holds true for both adults and teens – and both genders. Several states as well as the Province of Ontario now ban ‘reparative therapy’ – which is designed to help willing patients to change their sexual orientation.[ix]
So a lie has been foisted on the American public, the people of the West and the population of the World. The lie is that there is no god but man. We alone get to decide morality…..to determine right from wrong….black from white. Listen to the words of Isaiah 5:20-21. “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight!”
