The Changing Face of an Already Confused People
By Rob Hood (05/06/06)
America today, particularly those who call themselves Christians, are really confused a several key issues. There are now so many denominations of Christianity that it's hard to keep up with, how many there are, from what branch they stemmed from, and why. Believe it or not there are some churches out there that are "gay" churches, if you call that a church. Believe it or not there are even some "liberal" churches out there that totally contradict what the word Christian means according to the Bible.
The main topic I wish to discuss is homosexuality. This one subject alone has been used by Satan to split almost every denomination right down the middle. God says homosexuality is sin. Satan says it is not. So who's side are you on? The only denomination that has not had a great deal of trouble with this issue is the Southern Baptist Convention, of which I am a member. The Southern Baptists as well as many other denominations have remain rock solid on our faith and have not wavered our belief system just because those of the secular world demand it.
The secular world do not understand our beliefs system in that homosexuality is sin before God and can never be viewed as anything other than that. It always has been sin. it is sin now, and 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 centuries from now it will still be sin. Right and wrong, and good and evil, never change. They stay what they are for eternity. Sure it is possible and preferable for evil people to turn good, but evil will be around for as long as this world exists.
For those who may be reading who do not understand where this all began, let start from the very beginning: CREATION! To believe in jesus Christ, you first have to belive in a moment in history when God spoke the universe into existance in 6 literal days just as Moses wrote in the book of Genesis. If you read Genesis and do not believe in how sin entered into the world through Eve and then Adam, then my friend, there is no use in you reading the rest of the Bible at all, becuase the rest of the Bible deals with what to do after the fall of man and how to be saved from eternal judgement.
You cannot graps the concept of sin and evil until you know where it came from. genesis expalins all we need to know about where this sin came from. Think of it like this: If sin had never entered into the world, we would all be enjoyng each other's company in a lush garden paradise. No war would have ever existed. no murder would have ever taken place. No theft would have ever happened. No one would have ever lost a loved one to death becuase disease, sickness, famine, and other things would have never existed. There would be no need for doctors becuas esickness wuld never occur. No need for lawyers becuase disputes would never happen. Get what i am saying? Genesis is the root of today;s problems and unless you accept that, you cannot understand where the church is coming from in their teachings of right and wrong.
Right now across America Satan is waging war becuase of his hatred for God's kingdom. Churches are breaking up over blind politics that can be easily remedied if one seeks counsel from God through prayer. The issue of homosexuality has caused turmoil and has blatantly done so by falsely declaring the issue one of civil rights when clearly it is not.
The civil rights movement of the 1960s and the gay rights movement now are two totally different things that is as different as daylight and dark. The Bible plainly condemns homosexuality, yet we have so called preachers and church leaders saying it is ok and even encouraging it. These false prophets of God will have to answer for their actions one day though. This sickening and perverse routing of pulpit sodomy will not last forever because one day the king of Kings and the Lord of Lords will step down from the great White throne and declare evil no more.
Out school system has turned into a political hotbed of corrupt fantasies and immoral gestures rather than a center for learning. the children are infiltrated by evil God hating liberals who would rather live under rule of the UN and EU than declare themselves to be members of a sovereign nation under god. In colleges across America, the brilliant young minds of eager learners are being infiltrated by immoral and absolutely unnecessary propaganda by the extreme far left who love Fidel Castro's communist Cuba more than they love a free America and the leadership therein.
Just a few days ago on April 27, a Day of Truth was declared as it was last year. The movement grew and amazing 150 % from last year. Started by the Alliance Defense Fund, the Day of Truth was intended to counter the "day of Silence" in high schools across the nation. The Day of Silence was a day to recognize homosexuality among school peers while the day of Truth was to teach that these acts were sinful.
As a matter of fact, thirteen student in a high school in California was suspended because they exercised their freedom of speech and wore shirts to school that said "Homosexuality is sin". The school pitched a hissy fit and suspended the students. I myself have seen very vulgar and often racist t-shirts pass by school faulty without a word being said, but if a conservative does something along the same lines he or she is persecuted to no end. The students are looking to sue the school for violation of free speech, playing the ACLU at their own game. I wish they would call the ACLU and ask them to take the case since this was a violation of religious free speech and if the ACLU refuses to take the case, then they should sue the ACLU for religious discrimination. Let the ACLU eat a piece of their own pie for a little while.
The Baptist have developed a plan of their won to battle the counter culture war at school though. Baptists are calling for parents to pull their children from public schools that teach that homosexuality is normal. A resolution called "The Harsh Truth about Public Schools" urges agencies of the Southern Baptist Convention to assist churches as they plan their exit strategy from the public education system. Could we be possibly looking at a newly forming Christian school system where evolution would be discarded, homosexuality never mentioned, and condoms never heard of be coming soon? It would be a great thing if the Baptist did form a new type of schools system where we mimicked the schools of the 1950s where children learned math, science, history, and of course modern day things like computers, etc. without all the political indoctrinations and sexual orientation. I say it's high time we abandoned all public and private schools, clubs, organizations, companies, manufacturers, governments, and other things that publicly and openly support abortion, homosexuality, and the criminalization of faith and prayer in public.
The Tupelo, Mississippi based American Family Association has done so in its public declaration of a worldwide boycott of Ford Motor Company for its involvement with a gay pride event recently. Ford Motor Company never financed the event, but did publicly support it and offered to cut back support of this, except for the Ford owned Volvo. I should have known. Volvo, Subaru, they kind of go together with the whole Starbucks gay liberal group thing. Hopefully there will be no compromise. Ford will either have to pull all support of all owned companies or the boycott will go on. Car manufacturers are already hurting, they don't need a worldwide boycott, but AFA will not show sympathy because of FMC's financial strain as they shouldn't. Two superbowl's ago AFA launched a boycott of Dodge because of a very inappropriate commercial Dodge was sponsoring. After about two days or so, Dodge pulled support of the ad and AFA dropped the boycott. Sometimes these things work and sometimes they don't, but it is well worth it to give it a try.
I have noticed companies have truly embraced the whole homosexual and left wing movement. They often portray hidden agendas and liberal philosophies in advertisements as simply as hamburger ads. Start paying attention to the ads and tell me how many you count that you can tell was written by liberals and feminists. I have noticed it more recently. Perhaps it is just me being paranoid? Maybe, but time will tell. It seems like there are more commercials making MEN look stupid and incompetent these days. It seems to me that there are more commercials with sexual references that have a way of saying these acts are okay. it seems to me that there should be a better way to advertise a product than with a political agenda. maybe we should go back to actually focusing on the product itself in the ad rather than the actions of the people portraying the product. Recently Nissan has advertised it's new Pathfinder SUV by saying "What would the world be like if there were only left turns?" All throughout the commercial "left turns" are mentioned and encouraged. Nissan makes a great product the Pathfinder is surely a great SUV, but making a political motive is not the way to advertise it. A GPS unit called Tom Tom has also used political tactics in its advertising. Once again they declare that "left" is the only turn you should make. However, they have came out with one that the lady actually say " I have been accused of leaning to the right" when asked " should I take a right here?" Even CBS (should have known) has teened up with a gay activist group to promote teen homosexuality. Take a look at the references below for a more detailed story too long to touch on.
Political correctness is made of Washington democrats and liberals, not advertising agencies, churches, and schools for Pete's sake! I sometimes wonder if people have lost their minds. As a matter of fact, I laughed and agreed with an actor on Rambo III that I was watching recently. He stated" God must love crazy people because he made so many of them". The whole world has gone stark raving mad and is too far gone to save now.
The fact that homosexuality is being embraced to the point that forced acceptation is demanded scares me a little. Recently the European Union has ordered that member nations accept homosexuality as normal. I wonder how long it will be before the UN wants us to do the same. They already want to ban our guns and kill our babies, now want to tear apart what is left of a decent culture. We cannot afford to let these rogue nations order us around like this. we need ambassadors far stricter than John Bolton if we are to save our nation. The best thing we can do is pull out of the UN before it's too late.
Yes, out nation is falling apart at the seams and no one cares but a few. People have grown weak in their faith and corrupt in their ways, but will have to give an account one day regardless. As for me, I know what I believe. I believe that I am a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ first and foremost, and secondly a free citizen of the sovereign United States of America where I speak ENGLISH, fly my flag high, and fight for what is right for my country and for my God. That is who I am. Are you wit me?
