IS GOD HOMOPHOBIC?

IT NEVER STOPS. DAY IN AND DAY OUT IN AMERICA TODAY THE ONE THING WE CONSTANTLY HEAR ABOUT IS THE ‘GLORY OF GAYNESS,’ THAT IS EXCEPT FROM GOD!”

 I’m Dennis Finnan, host and speaker on the World, the Word & You! Broadcast and in a moment we’ll talk about the tragedy of homosexuality and what God thinks and says about it…

…It seems a day doesn’t go by that we don’t hear some type of promotion from the “Gay Spin Zone” of the “glories of gayness,” advancing into yet another realm of America heterosexual life. Yes, homosexuality today is so largely promoted that for anyone to speak out against it, well they are immediately labeled a ‘homophobic.’ What’s a homophobic? Well in the language of today, it is a description of any individual who does not support and encourage the Homosexual lifestyle as a healthy, upbeat, and a proper alternate sexuality for personal and public life. Yes, this “rainbow” morality that is nothing short of sexual perversion and deviance today, is the promotion scandal of the century. And, anyone who stands up or speaks out against it, is labeled “homophobic,” or considered mentally unstable with a crippling mental phobia of hate filled insanity. Well, I’ve got news for anyone who believes or teaches this – if I’m homophobic because I speak out against the sin and wickedness of homosexuality, I’ve got good company, for God Himself stand with us, or better yet, we stand with Him against this alternate lifestyle promoted these days. Now before I tell you why God is “homophobic,” as one is labeled these days, let’s pause one more time for another moment of music, then I’ll return to finish my important talk on the dangers and wickedness of homosexuality…

… In the news in America recently is the flap over the social agency called “Big Brothers & Sisters,” who openly gave approval for homosexuals to join them in mentoring and befriending young orphaned and abandoned children. Having declared their new understanding of the “glory of gayness” nonsense, now these young impressionable children will have by their side as adult mentors, sexual perverts, who will guide them into the normalcy of adulthood? Of course, few are outraged these days due to the effective Gay spin zone that works relentlessly to promote homosexuality. Indeed, they have been effective, for a growing number of American’s mainly the younger generation, now believes the lie that homosexuality among men and women is a good thing for American lifestyles. But friend, I’m here today to tell you, as God’s servant, it isn’t, and worse, it not only brings about the death of those who practice it, but even those who promote and protect it for national life. Let me tell you why now.

First off, we must realize that all of us homosexual or heterosexual, are not our own. We live in a borrowed universe and world, given to us by none other than the Creator God Himself. Now, I realize many irreligious in the nation and world laugh at that, for they don’t believe there is either a God who created all things and is omnipotently managing time and eternity, or simply don’t care. However, an ostrich can stick its head in the sand when danger or offensive action befalls it, but that doesn’t change the facts and reality around them. Now for those who do believe there is a God over us, and for those who are not sure, but are willing to listen to what He has to say about their lives and living, listen up...

Let’s define this thing called homosexuality. Homosexuality is a reference to the physical practice of individuals of the same sex, practicing sexual relationship, normally reserved for heterosexual relationships. But homosexuality involves more than this. It is also the deviant, and morally degenerate practice of oral and anal, and often brutal sadistic methods for sexual gratification abhorred by normal decent humanity, not to mention God Himself. Clearly according to the Bible and the normal mind, such acts are against nature and shameful. However, to speak out against such practices today is called “homophobic,” a nonsense term applied to heterosexual Christians and people who abhor this perverted lifestyle and living.

Now what is wrong with this personal choice, for a man to love a man and seek sexual gratification from him, or a woman to love a woman, called lesbianism, and seek sexual gratification from her? The answer is the Creator God Himself says it is wrong! Make no mistake and don’t listen to any nonsense to the contrary. In today’s language, God is the chief “homophobic,” and every decent law abiding normal human being should be too! Listen now to what God says about it in His Word the Bible. We see first of all…

1.  GOD’S ANGER AND HATRED FOR THE PRACTICE OF THE SIN OF HOMOSEXUALITY – From cover to cover, the Bible warns people everywhere not to practice homosexuality because God’s anger and wrath are against such lifestyles and living. Hear the Word of the Lord who warns all humanity,

Gen 1:27 (NLT)  So God created people in his own image; God patterned them after himself; male and female he created them.

Lev 18:22 (NLT)  “Do not practice homosexuality; it is a detestable sin.

Lev 20:13 (NLT)  “The penalty for homosexual acts is death to both parties. They have committed a detestable act and are guilty of a capital offense.

Rom 1:24-26 (NLT)  So God let them go ahead and do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. 25 Instead of believing what they knew was the truth about God, they deliberately chose to believe lies… 26 That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other.

1 Cor 6:9-10 (NLT)  Don’t you know that those who do wrong will have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin… adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals… none of these will have a share in the Kingdom of God.

1 Tim 1:10 (NLT)  These laws are for people who are sexually immoral, for homosexuals…  and for those who do anything else that contradicts the right teaching

Jude 1:7 (NLT)  And don’t forget the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with sexual immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and are a warning of the eternal fire that will punish all who are evil.

One cannot read the Bible without coming to the honest and forthright conclusion, God has given us a stern warning that His anger, wrath and hatred is zeroed in on anyone of His creatures abandoning the natural lifestyle of heterosexuality. Notice also, what God said, additionally, as a result of anyone practicing it or more, approving of it and accepting it socially.

2.  GOD’S WARNING AND PROMISE OF JUDGMENT AGAINST SUCH SINNERS AND SOCIETIES THAT PROMOTE HOMOSEXUALITY – Did you note that God says homosexuality is a sin worthy of the death penalty to men and women who practice this sinful relationship? (Lev. 20:13) Yes, in ancient Israel there were no living practicing homosexuals who came out of the closet. God demanded they be executed for defiling the land and society God approved of for His blessing. Also, Jude in the New Testament (Jude 1:7) as well as Moses in the Old Testament reported that those societies that openly approved of , allowed and protected the practice of this sinful evil, were judged with destruction and even death! Listen to God’s distinct words,

Gen 19:13 (NLT)  For we [angels] will destroy [Sodom] completely. The stench of the place has reached the LORD, and he has sent us to destroy it.”

Psa 9:17 (NLT)  The wicked will go down to the grave. This is the fate of all the nations who ignore God.

Friend, it’s a serious thing to openly flout God’s Word and call, for living in His universe and world. God has a right to declare the living arrangements for us, and He as done so. God wants men to be men, and women to be women, and for them to find companionship and even sexual gratification within the confines of a heterosexual monogamous marriage only! All outside of this is sin, and especially the practice of homosexuality.  Now, this doesn’t stop here, for God warns further that all who continue to practice such sins will not only find death, but in eternity they will be separated from God forever being cast into Hell itself!

3. GOD WARNS ALL, THAT PRACTICING HOMOSEXUALS WILL BE CAST INTO HELL ITSELF! – How serious a thing to not only lose a healthy life in this world, but to have both body, soul and spirit destroyed in the next, that is too high a price to pay for any gratification, perverted or not. But God warns again and again,

1 Cor 6:9-10 (NLT)  Don’t you know that those who do wrong will have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin… adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals… none of these will have a share in the Kingdom of God.

Jude 1:7 (NLT)  And don’t forget the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with sexual immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and are a warning of the eternal fire that will punish all who are evil.

Yes, the eternal fires of Hell await all practicing sexual deviants, as well as all those who practics sexual immorality. Yes, it seems God’s express hatred for violating His law of life that He wants operational among His creation, carries the ultimate price. Is God homophobic? You bet He is! But this homophobia is not a sickness, or social disorder, it is a wholesome and righteous thing because that is what God Himself is. There is no sin in Him, no evil or wickedness, only purity, holiness and perfection. Yes, God sets the standard for what is right or wrong, not public opinion and the changing whims of a sinful society. Society can cry out against all those who condemn the practice of homosexuality, it can persecute them and ridicule them, but the truth is those who speak out, and stand up against the rising tide of godlessness called homosexuality – have the one true God on their side. The question is where do you stand? I tend to think, many Christians and other law abiding citizens of the world and our nation, do not approve of this open and sick life style. I say sick because in most cases you do not hear what must go on to practice homosexuality. In fact, on this broadcast, I cannot mention the things these people do to themselves in order to be sexually gratified. Its not only ghastly, it is criminal! Yet God also warns, that those who practice this lifestyle will suffer for their sins even before their death and eternal judgment arrives. The Bible says,

4. THOSE WHO PRACTICE HOMOSEXUALITY WILL PAY  FOR THEIR SINS HERE AND NOW! – Is this true? Listen carefully now to what Paul the apostle says in,

Rom 1:21-28 (NLT)  Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks… The result was that their minds became dark and confused... 24 So God let them go ahead and do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. 25 Instead of believing what they knew was the truth about God, they deliberately chose to believe lies… 26 That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. 27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relationships with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved. 28 When they refused to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their evil minds and let them do things that should never be done.

Note verse 27 which says, “as a result, they suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved.” Here God says that those who practice homosexuality, men or women, will receive a judgment “within themselves.” Today we know the frightening AIDS sickness that was born within the homosexual community. It is a flesh rotting disease, with no cure in sight, that comes to those who defile themselves by the gross perverted ways of sexual gratification. Why in the Old Testament, God warned that temporal penalty would comes for certain sins, among which was homosexuality. Listen again to the Word of God,

Deu 28:58-61 (NLT)  “If you refuse to obey all the terms of this law that are written in this book, and if you do not fear the glorious and awesome name of the LORD your God, 59 then the LORD will overwhelm both you and your children with indescribable plagues. These plagues will be intense and without relief, making you miserable and unbearably sick. 60 He will bring against you all the diseases of Egypt that you feared so much, and they will claim you. 61 The LORD will bring against you every sickness and plague there is, even those not mentioned in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed.

Without a doubt, all humanity that grossly violates God’s Word for life and living, especially the sin of sodomy or homosexuality, God promised terrible plagues and incurable sicknesses would eat their flesh and life away. No one can deny AIDS and other STD’S so prevalent today, are a testimony to God’s wrathful promises. Oh, we can stick our heads in “the sand of life” and refuse to believe it, but there it is, and here it is too. The question is how will you and I respond?

The first response all bible believing Christians must do in response to the GAY SPIN ZONE world of American life, is vocally stand up against it.

  1. Every Christian and non-Christian who is heterosexual and believes in promoting a wholesome, God-fearing society, must stand up and speak out again all push for promotion and protection of the wickedness of practicing homosexuality. Have you?
     

  2. Every Christian and non-Christian must refute the lies and false information being disseminated in schools, the media, and now corporate America. Homosexuality is not, I repeat is not a genetic result. It is a learned response, and the goal of organized homosexuality in America today, is to encourage every young child to explore this lifestyle when they are young and impressionable enough to be enslaved by it. Hence the push to enter schools and organizations such as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Big Brothers and Sisters, organizations, that mentor children.
     

  3. We must use our voting rights to defeat homosexual initiatives and agendas that seek community, state and national approval and acceptance of their deviant lifestyle.
     

  4. We must furthermore, regularly teach our children what the Bible says about sexual matters, and warn them of all sexual sins, including the sin of homosexuality.
     

  5. We must be vocal and dispel the idea that Gay rights are Civil rights. They are not.
     

  6. We should always refer to homosexuality as “sin,” not a sickness or different lifestyle.
     

  7. Do not tolerate the approval of and promotion of homosexuality, especially in public school sex education classes, that indoctrinate and pervert the minds of impressionable children.
     

  8. Finally, do not unfairly treat practicing homosexuals, men or women, they have the same human rights as any other citizen, but do not tolerate their sins.
     

  9. Work to educate your family and society to the truth about this sin, and the penalties God warns will come to any people and their society that continue to defy God’s Word on the matter.
     

  10. Find ways and means to love those caught in the sinful web of homosexuality, and, support groups that help them come out. The good news is since it is not a genetic result, all practicing homosexuals can be saved from their sins and give a new heart and life to turn away from the practice of it and be pleasing to God.

I’ll tell you this my friend, if we continue to promote, protect and pander to the societal approval of homosexuality, there is a time coming when God will strike this nation for its sin, no different than the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. God warned their destruction would come and it did and the main reason was its open practice of homosexuality. Now the question is where do you stand? Are you the silent majority that sits on the side lines as 2-3% of the population, the homosexual crowd, moves to destroy our nation’s heritage and divine protection? Without a doubt America is being seduced and deceived by the homosexual agenda in a “blitzkrieg” of indoctrination from public schools to our entertainment media, to accept and even consider practicing this wicked lifestyle. This calculated agenda has one goal  -- to infect the children of America, and once this is done, the agenda of homosexuality has won. Now quickly here is the agenda for an easy summation and identification.

  1. The implementation of the homosexual curriculum at all levels of education.

  2. The lowering of the age of consent for homosexual acts.

  3. Custody, adoption and foster care rights for homosexuals.

  4. The redefinition of the family to include homosexual domestic partnerships.

  5. Access to all boy/girl programs such as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts of America, and Big Brothers and Sisters (two have fallen).

  6. Affirmative action for all homosexuals and their chosen lifestyles.

  7. The inclusion of sex-change operations under a universal health care program.

All these things and more, are the weapons of warfare used today to change America, to ruin and destroy what made us great in decades past. The question is will you allow them to do this by your continued silence? It’s time to draw the line, be vocal, and speak out. You and I owe it to our children and grandchildren, to protect their future. Meanwhile, we must never stop declaring the love of God for all sinners, homosexuals included. God loves us all, enough to die for our sins, and to take on Himself our penalty of eternal death. Yes, this is the wonderful story of the cross of Christ. Christ died for sinners, Christ rose from the dead to offer His full pardon and forgiveness. But none can have it until they surrender their lives and hearts to Jesus Christ, acknowledging Him as their Lord God and Savior from their sins.

Have you my friend? Are you saved? Yes, homosexuals, adulterers, murderers, thieves, idolaters and every sort of disobedience to God’s Law, those who practice it can be forgiven and saved from their sins! Therefore, all the more we must preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For God, before judgment falls, will save as many who will hear, believe and come to Him. Thank God Jesus still saves, but the question is -- has He saved you? Turn to Christ today!

…Friends, the calculated planned “homosexualization” of America has begin and unless stopped, it will literally destroy this righteous nation! The tool for destruction is first “desensitization,” followed by “indoctrination,” and then finally “participation.” May God give all who hear, eyes to see, a heart that yearns for God, and a desire to uphold righteousness. In this, is God’s ultimate reward.
