Hypocrites

Drumming Out the Gays Part 4





When the church picks this hill to die on against “the gays” all that it does is isolate a particular sin they dislike and make sure they (the gays) are aware it is sin… Give me a break. Do we honestly think they somehow missed that message? The reason they perceive the church as their enemy is because the church has made themselves their enemy. They feel hated because they have been hated. So Satan uses this intolerance to blockade them from their only source of freedom; the life in body of Christ. To preach intolerance is to isolate starving people from their only nourishment.


I "tolerate" all sin and all sinners. I’m not trying to get sin out of people’s life I’m trying to get Jesus in. A person has no hope of changing their heart without the source of life inside them. As “the church” speaks against tolerance and the “Gay Agenda” it may simply be stating that fact that God did not create perversion and that homosexuality is contrary to perfection; and I would agree. But what the world hears is “don’t accept them they are the enemy.”


Is homosexuality Godly or good? No, it is perversion and against perfection, but so is anything that is not the perfection of Christ. Anything used against its created purpose is perversion. Such as food and obesity. Should we be intolerant of that as well? Yes, if you are consistent in your intolerance.


In fact you should use the law and go on a campaign to show “the fats” the error of their ways. You should hold up the warning signs for them as well. They are going down a road of destruction. And you should do it with the exact same passion for intolerance that you burn with toward the gays. Instead we allow them to preach in our churches. They stand in the presence of the assembly openly obese and we tolerate it. Hypocrites.

Born Again

Drumming Out the Gays Part 3


Does God make people gay? No, but what you are when you come out of the womb is not simply the creation of God. If it were then we would have to explain deformities and handicaps as the sovereign creation of God. I wholeheartedly reject the common understanding of God’s Sovereignty. (but that is another teaching) God forms corrupted flesh with Adam’s dead nature toward His best plan. That is not to say that what God has formed will respond to the corrupted world well.

The question for me is not why people are gay but rather, why aren’t you? In the end it is because it’s not in your heart. Every action you perform is based on the desire of your heart; everything from hugging your child to punching someone in the face. The desire of your heart will constantly dialog with your logic to produce physical action. It is why we overeat, get out of bed in the morning, or go to the gym. Either your logic will convince your heart toward or against an action, your heart will convince your logic, or they will agree. In the end it is often the heart that will produce action in your body. Passion and desire in the heart will corrupt logic and dominate it more often than not.

Those who don't act out in homosexuality have no (or not enough) desire creating action in them toward that particular sin. Why? Nurture: maybe you never had a homosexual experience release Dopamine in your body creating the desire to repeat the action. Maybe there have been enough external motivators to prevent your heart’s desire from manifesting.
Nature: the same reason you naturally gravitate toward things like music or sports. I never had to train my son to draw; Caleb just sees a piece of paper and follows the desire in his heart to create art. Why are people drawn by the desire of their heart to sin?

Because we were born that way.

Homosexuality is no better or worse than heterosexual perversion. Anything that is not the perfection of God's created purpose is perversion. We were all born with the singular desire for self gratification and sin because of Adam not God. What's wrong with stating that a person is born sinful, perverted, or even gay? Isn’t that why we must be born again?

Does God make people gay?

Drumming Out the Gays Part 2



Sexuality is only the gratification of flesh not soul for those who aren’t born again. To truly make love and allow sexuality to be the expression of Godly desire in the heart one must be born again and have the fruit of love in their soul to manifest in Godly sex. Sex in the soulish and spiritual sense becomes a work of faith and spiritual fruit. Only after one is born again can a person experience godly sexuality. Any form of sex that is not this Godly sexual fruit is carnal (even if you are married). We are not intrinsically motivated toward Godly sex at birth. We are motivated toward perversion and self.

Am I saying that God made people gay? No, I’m saying every human is born evil. Depending on your nature and nurture that evil and carnal selfishness will manifest itself in a variety of ways. Why do some boys like music and others like baseball? Did God make them that way? To some degree yes, but it is more about an inclination rather than a specific desire. God does not put desire in a baby he establishes an ego-structure (internal wiring) in a corrupt human.

It would seem that some people are more prone to different sins than others. If I look at the difference between siblings this is clear. Two siblings can have a relatively similar, possibly controlling, nurture experience but respond very differently. Some might disobey their parents by hiding, manipulating, and lying. Wanting to be perceived as good while doing the things they truly want to do.

In my life I rebelled to my parents face. I fought and disobeyed openly. Why? Because, it is who I am. I was formed differently in the womb than my sisters, and my genes combined in ways that were unique. Did God make me rebellious? No, he may have made me strong willed and confrontational for the good purpose of my calling but through the perversion of life, flesh, and the world I gravitated toward rebellion.
