Homosexual Christians?

You can't be a follower of Jesus and be a homosexual.

I can't follow Jesus and be a thief, or a murderer.  If I am a thief and want to follow Jesus, I must leave stealing behind.  If I am a murderer and want to follow Jesus, I must leave killing behind. 

When we follow Jesus, we put our 'flesh' (sinful desires and actions) to death . . .  deny ourselves . . . 'die to' our old selves . . . are 'born again' . . . born of the spirit  . . . have a new life . . .  We become new creations! 

When we accept Jesus' death, on our behalf, we must come to Him on His terms. We confess our sins, repent of them, and don't practice them any longer.  He forgives our sins and washes them away, and we are made new.

You may argue that being a homosexual is who you are--I argue that is who you are because it is what you do.

Contrary to some people's arguments, people are not born homosexual.  If you have the normal XX or XY chromosomes, your gender is not in question.  (If you ARE a hermaphrodite, or have chromosomal problems, that's a different story.)

Here are reasons you may not feel comfortable with your gender:

• The way you are raised and treated.  
• The expectations or prejudices you are exposed to.  
• The popularity and promotion of homosexuality in our culture.
• Peer pressure.

But here are what I believe are the three most important factors:  being wounded in your early relationships, being molested by someone of the same gender (remembered or  not), demonic influence.

There are a number of ways these factors can work together, although any one of them can lead you to the conclusion, and feeling, that you are gay.  But, when they are combined, their effect is greatly multiplied, and you will feel an almost irresistible pull towards homosexuality.

One of the common ways it plays out is:

1. A child is rejected by his father (living with rejection is more damaging than being abandoned).  Young children trust adults and see them almost as gods.  If a young child is receiving the message, from an adult, that he is not worthy, he may disown himself (or aspects of himself).  If he is a bit older, he may hate the adult and vow not to be like him.  Either way, if a boy does not have a healthy relationship with his father (or an adult male), he will have an emptiness that will cause him to gravitate towards 'father figures' in his life.  This may be adult males, or boys that are older than him that seem more masculine to him than he feels. 

Here is where a problem begins.  Young, wounded boys are very alluring to predatory men (including pedophiles) and delinquent boys.  A wounded boy is a magnet for sick and perverse males, and he is soon going to end up in bad company.  He doesn't have to be molested to become homosexual--he may idolize the man or boy he follows, to the extent that he falls in love with him.  The whole issue is that he doesn't love and accept himself.

The irony is--some well meaning single mothers introduce predatory men into their wounded son's life, without being aware of it. A single mother has her own issues, and she may be very relieved to have found a man who shows a fatherly interest in her son. 

These are the worst situations, because the boy is unable to extricate himself from the relationship, and is unlikely to tell his mother what is happening.  He will likely be at the man's mercy for many years.  This man, given enough time, will likely mold the boy into a replica of himself.  Undoing the damage, if the grown up boy is willing, may occupy much of the rest of his life.

2.  Wounded boys are needy and vulnerable, magnets for pedophiles, and very likely to be molested.  They pretty well have a sign on their forehead saying "victim", which predators quickly home in on.  Each molestation makes another one more likely. 

The boy is molded physically, mentally, and emotionally by these experiences, and logically forms an identity as inferior, a victim, and as a homosexual.  He does not realize that someone else appointed this identity to him, instead he believes they recognized what he already must have been--not true!!  The only thing he was is needy and vulnerable.

3.  Demonic influence--I think this is one of the biggest reasons that homosexuality is so commonplace today.  Demonic forces promote sin in every form.  Demonic forces actively deceive, tempt, and seduce people into sin.  Just as we may have 'guardian angels', people are accompanied by demonic spirits.  Demonic beings act persistently in a person's life, usually to the extent that they are successful in luring him into sin. 

Demonic spirits can gain entrance to a person's life (not the same as actually being possessed) through things they partake of (including music, movies, magazines, etc.), through interactions with other people (who 'entertain' demons in their life), and by chance.  MANY of these demonic beings are with us, in our sinful culture today, and they are a powerful force behind the promotion of homosexuality.


Homosexuality is neither normal nor natural.  God says it is an abomination to Him.  He also says that, when He is totally disgusted with a person (to paraphrase), He will give them over to a 'reprobate mind' and homosexuality. 

With that in mind, does homosexuality really sound like something people are born with?  Do you think God would create someone that way, so that He would turn His back on him from the day he was born?  No.  Absolutely not!!  The temptation to homosexuality, however, may find its way into your life at a very early age.

I believe that part of the recent increase in demonic activity in America, is a concerted Satanic attack on children.  With a culture that lies to us and says that homosexuality is normal and that speaking against it is hateful (or criminal)--how many parents are going to steer their young children away from homosexuality when they are being tempted and deceived by demonic spirits (or other kids, or society, etc. for that matter)?

By trying to be 'politically correct', we are leaving our vulnerable children open to the most vile temptations and influences.  These sins, that we are afraid to speak against, have the power to imprison our children in chains of heavy bondage, and open the door to other powerful delusions and doctrines of Satan.

Parents:  we live in perilous, vile, and deceptive times--you had better get serious about protecting your children from evil!!

'Christian parents':  if you won't teach your children right from wrong, and the truth from a lie--who do you think will?  And who do you think God will hold responsible?

If You Are Black, I Have A Question For You.--Are You Being Provoked To Start A Race War?

It's interesting when someone, who knows nothing about you, tells you something about yourself that you didn't know--and it' sure makes them look ridiculous when they're wrong!

Jimmy Carter says I'm a racist.  Hmm . . . really?  Lets consider the source.  I used to admire Mr. Carter.  Because of his work with Habitat for Humanity, I figured he must just be a wonderful guy.  However, according to the Secret Service Agents that served him during his time in the White House, he was a real 'piece of work' (my words).

Apparently he treated these people with contempt, in the typical southern plantation style. 'Agents were not allowed to address him directly or make eye contact when he passed'.  And he often prevailed upon them to do menial tasks for him that were not in their job description.  Without going into the details, I'll summarize by saying he was VERY different when the cameras weren't around, and went to great lengths to put on a facade for them. (More details can be found in the August 2009 issue of Newsmax.)

It has been my experience that liars think everyone is a liar, and cheaters think everyone is a cheater, etc. People often project their own character flaws onto others when they make accusations.  As the old saying goes 'it takes one to know one'.   So with that in mind, and in light of what I learned about his character, I would be fairly confident in betting that Mr. Carter is a racist.  He may have learned to mask it, but if he treated even his bodyguards with contempt (and they were probably white), what are the chances he sees blacks as equals?

I point this out, not necessarily to malign Mr. Carter, but to show that this is a ridiculous accusation, from someone whose opinion probably shouldn't be given too much weight in regards to issues of prejudice.

If memory serves me, one of the big theories among the radicals of the sixties is that there would be a revolution and a race war.  Now these radicals are running the show.  One of their main objectives is to cause chaos and dismantle our current government and society so that they can replace it with a Communist/New Age regime. If you are black, I have a question for you:  are you being provoked to start a race war?

Thankfully, it appears most people aren't taking the bait.  I have rarely met a racist.  I know racism exists in America.  I know polygamy exists in America, and pedophilia, and slavery, and a host of other despicable things.  But I don't think there are many people who can say that is their normal experience of life in America.  I don't believe it is widespread.  There are pockets of it, sure.  But if that is what you are seeing day to day, perhaps you should consider moving to another town.  There are certainly plenty of places to go where you will be appreciated and respected for who you are!

(And, if this is your experience, after you get out-please expose it!  There are a lot of us white folks who would like to stamp out racism, so lets bring it into the light and deal with it.)

I cannot imagine what it is like to be born into the land of your grandparents' oppressors.  What white men inflicted on the Negroes, Native Americans, and others, is despicable, abominable, and without excuse!

I think many whites feel shame over what their forefathers did.  However, you can only push that so far!  We will apologize and try to make right, UP TO A POINT but, just as you were not the ones who were enslaved, we were not slaveholders.  A couple of generations have passed, and we will not take the responsibility for the sins of our ancestors upon ourselves.  We are sorry.  They will have to stand before God and be judged for what they did.

I can assure you I have always been opposed to slavery and would actively be working with the underground railroad, if I were living in that time.  However, I'm pretty sure you are not going to like the rest of what I have to say. I'll tell you the basis for my attitude souring over the past decade or so, because I believe it's happening with others too, and I believe you have the right to understand why.

Some blacks keep on pushing, and they are the ones I see.  Being white, I am not in your home, your church or your neighborhood.  I don't see the full extent of your culture.  What I do see is just a slice--I don't think it represents most African Americans, at least I sure hope it doesn't.  It is the rude, loud, arrogant, disrespectful, in-your-face part.  The gangster wannabe part. The violent, profane, rap music part.  The pants-falling-off-the-butt part.  I don't care about the color of your skin, or where your ancestors were from--what I care about is your attitude!

The generation that fought for civil rights was a proud and respectful generation.  I think they would roll over in their graves at the way the younger generation is undoing the respect they fought for!  They seemed to understand that, if you want to be respected, you need to behave respectfully.

Some people bring on their own problems.  If they come into a quiet neighborhood with rap music blasting profanity and their pants falling off their butt, and they want to rent a house there, they shouldn't be surprised if they are turned away!  If they were white, it would be the same!  If they present themself in a way that would scare customers back out the door--they shouldn't be surprised if they don't get the job!

It certainly seems to be in vogue lately to throw out accusations of racism.   You've probably heard the old story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' . . . the story of a boy who liked to get the village people all riled up by calling 'wolf' so they would run out to protect him.  He did it so often that, pretty soon everybody was on to him and paid him no more attention.  Then, one day, there really was a wolf, and nobody believed him or came to his aid.  Enough said?

If you think I am discriminating against you, I just might be--but don't be so quick to assume it's because of the color of your skin.  What is your attitude?  What do the lyrics of your music say about you?  Because, if you are blasting it loudly, I'm going to assume you are using it as a way of speaking your mind.  And, last but not least, maybe I'm just afraid of interacting with you.  Not afraid you'll cut my throat, but afraid that, despite my best intentions, I'm going to end up doing or saying something that offends you.

The other thing I'm going to say is this: I have seen many more people of color who are racist than whites who are.  In fact, it seems to be the approved attitude in black culture today.  I think if I hear  ' . . . it's because I'm black' one more time, I'm going to scream!   Sometimes, claiming racism is just a copout!

To me, constantly bringing the issue of race into things is a pretty good indicator that the person who does so is a racist.  Believe it or not, a person's race rarely crosses my mind, and even more rarely does it influence my decisions!  I believe that's true of most of the white folks I know.

From what I've seen, most whites don't give much thought to race. (I guess it's easier not to if you weren't the ones who were oppressed.)  But, an unintended consequence of making accusations of racism is that it is training us to think of race, where in the past we wouldn't have.  And, being that the focus on it is happening in such a negative way,  I don't feel like it is creating more understanding between us.  Instead, I think it is dividing us into 2 camps, and none of us has a choice which camp we end up in, because it is based on the color of our skin--something none of us had a choice in.

Are you sure you are a victim of racism? Or, are you being baited to start a revolution?  Are you angry about your own experiences, or are you being provoked by the words of others?  Are you being told the truth--or are you being used to further someone else's agenda?

I can understand being angry if you don't feel like you're being treated fairly.  However, the way you choose to try to resolve it will have a lot to do with the results you'll achieve.

So, what do you want to accomplish?  Do you want to continue to be angry and adversarial?  Do you want to increase racism?  All these accusations are certainly increasing racism among young blacks!  Think of the example it sets for them!  If you can't get past the anger, then lets TALK.

Or, do you want to turn it around?  If you're ready to change it, here is something that may help:

What you may  not realize is that people tend to reflect back what you project to them.  If you project anger and mistrust at them, they're likely to reflect that back on you.  But, if you project yourself as a calm, rational, confident person that is equal to them, that's how you'll likely be treated.

I think a lot of black people simply don't understand that's how relationships with whites work.  People that mouth off and try to be threatening are the ones who meet with the most resistance.  Those who project themselves as inferior are going to attract people that treat them as if they are.

When you interact with most whites, except the ridiculously arrogant 'elite', you'll be treated the way you want if you are polite, calm, rational and confident.

Slavery is behind us.  You have been given the full rights of citizenship. I think you can safely assume that the majority of us see you as equals.  (As far as the few that don't-they have a problem, and they make us uncomfortable too.)  From our point of view, we are confused as to why you keep on fighting.  You've already won!  Just live the part!
