The Great LGBT-LMNOP-Q Heist

I just submitted this article to the website where I am usually published.  I'm not sure if they will publish it.  We'll see.  Either way, I feel like it is an important message and I submit it to you in all love.

It would not be difficult within the Evangelical Christian community to find someone who thinks the LGBT+ community has, rather successfully, hijacked our culture, not only in  America, but the entire world.  Behavior that was mortifying to the vast majority of people 30 years ago has found its way into our everyday lives.  This is largely due to the fact that many of us have had homosexual family and friends whom we love.  We have done our best to try to accept them and understand their behavior while praying for them.

Our acceptance has not been appreciated, though.  Lifestyles that are far out of the norm by most have been pushed, and pushed, and pushed some more.  We say, “Okay, okay!  We never really cared who you loved, but we just didn’t want it shoved down our throats.  We aren’t homosexual.  We don’t want to wear chaps without underwear or dog collars and leashes down the street.  Can we at least keep that?”

“NO!” cries the alt left.  “It is all or nothing.  No, we take that back.  It’s  actually ALL and you get nothing!”

As true as all this is, we are not here to discuss the demise of American culture and our heritage as a nation founded on Judeo-Christian ethics.  We are here to discuss the great LGBT-LMNOP-Q… heist of  at least two of God’s covenants.  We are not talking about violating these covenants.  We are talking about this community, or force as it may be called, actually attempting to replace God’s covenants with their own.

Let us first determine what a covenant is.  Basically a covenant is a contract.  It feels like we mean ‘promise’ when we use the word, but when we say promise, it evokes images of butterflies and bluebirds, whereas the word ‘contract’ brings things like your mortgage to mind; as well it should.  A contract involves at least two parties or ‘sides’ and has stipulations.  Even an unconditional contract has unconditional as a stipulation because the usual contract has reciprocal actions, one side to another,  as part of the deal.  One would have to be made aware that this is not the case for a particular contract.

For any who are new to Christianity or maybe not a Christian at all, you should know that the God of the Bible, the TRUE God, is a God of covenants, and our God takes His covenants very seriously.  If you were asked what the first covenant in the Bible, you would likely go to the Noahic Covenant.  This is the covenant of the rainbow where God assured mankind that He would never destroy the world again by water.  

Imagine that you had lived hundreds of years and had never even seen a spring shower.  Then imagine that the entire world is destroyed by a massive flood caused by this new phenomenon called rain, PTSD anyone?  God assured Noah by a rainbow that he could relax in God’s promise.  It is still a reminder today of a covenant God made with mankind.

But, this actually isn’t the first covenant in the Bible.  You may say it is when God told Adam not to eat of the tree or he would die.  This doesn’t actually count as a covenant because God is stating a fact.  This is the first command given to man and it was given to the man alone, not the woman.  Many say that there is an Edenic covenant, which would be that Adam should dress and keep the garden in exchange for access to the Tree of Life.  This could be argued one way or another but the first concrete covenant in the Bible that is reinforced by Jesus is the covenant of Man and Woman, more clearly stated marriage.

Genesis 1:28 says, right there in the first chapter on day six,

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth.  Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit contains seed. They will be yours for food.  And to every beast of the earth and every bird of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth—everything that has the breath of life in it—I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.

This is established in the very first chapter of the Bible.

         

Genesis 2:21-24 gives us the details and says,

So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the area with flesh.  And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.  And the man said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for out of man she was taken.”  For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

And Jesus solidifies this in Matthew 19:4-6:

Jesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?  So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”

The Genesis 1:28 verse is a command with provision, a covenant.  Go forth and multiply and take dominion over the earth. In the next verse, God gives every seed bearing plant and fruit-bearing tree for food.

Adam and Eve were literally two of a kind.  Eve was created from Adam’s rib.  She shared his DNA.  God made a perfect partner for Adam, with Eve.  The old joke that God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, definitely applies here because procreation (the first part of the covenant) can only take place with a man and a woman.  

Notice also that both Adam and Jesus said, “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife.”  Think about that.  Even before there were fathers and mothers, it was established that an adult, physically male human being would leave his male and female parents for an adult, physically female human being, who would leave her cis-gender parents as well.  It is necessary to add the ‘adult’ and ‘human being’ tags due to the fact that pedophiles (people who are sexually attracted to children) and zoophiles (people who are sexually attracted to animals) are trying to ride into our mainstream on the coattails of the Queer community.  It is a real thing.  Google it (examples here and here).

There is another thing to consider, in case you haven’t thought about it before.  We all know that marriage is a contract that is agreed upon by both parties; call it a covenant.  Unfortunately, these days many make their vows for their own situation rather than having vows based on the Bible, but have you ever thought that marriage can be considered a blood covenant?  It is understood in our modern world that it is not always the case but, for the most part, when a woman gives herself to a man for the first time, blood, albeit a small amount, is spilt.  It is a covenant confirmation  that cannot be repeated.

The second concrete covenant in the Bible we have already touched on, the Noahic Covenant.  When we tell our children the story of Noah’s Ark, we always tell them that the rainbow is the sign of God’s promise never to destroy the earth with a flood again.  But, there is so much more to that rainbow.  It is the promise that nature, in the seasons, day and night, the very foundation of the cosmos will continue on as long as the earth stands.  

Let’s look at Noah’s exit from the ark more closely.  The bible says in Genesis 8:15-17:

Then God said to Noah, “Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.  Bring out all the living creatures that are with you—birds, livestock, and everything that crawls upon the ground—so that they can spread out over the earth and be fruitful and multiply upon it.”

So, there it is again, “be fruitful and multiply.”  And again, it takes an adult male and an adult female to fulfill this command.

Verses 8:20-22 say:

Then Noah built an altar to the LORD. Taking from every kind of clean animal and clean bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar.  When the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, He said in His heart, “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth. And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done.  As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.”

We see again the shedding of blood is an inherent part of many of the covenants made with God.  Every time a blood sacrifice is made in the Old Testament, it points to the ultimate sacrifice made by Jesus Christ on the cross.  

There are other stipulations made by God within this covenant.  Let’s look at this portion of scripture, Genesis 9:1-7:

And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and  fill the earth.  The fear and dread of you will fall on every living creature on the earth, every bird of the air, every creature that crawls on the ground, and all the fish of the sea. They are delivered into your hand.  Everything that lives and moves will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things.   But you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it.   And surely I will require the life of any man or beast by whose hand your lifeblood is shed. I will demand an accounting from anyone who takes the life of his fellow man: Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.  But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it.”

This is the covenant given to all humanity.  Long before there was a covenant with Abraham, this covenant was established with mankind, and twice within this part of the covenant (three times in all to Noah) is the command to be fruitful and multiply.

God’s stance against homosexuality is not because He is concerned about who you love, or even who you have sex with.  You will hear people say stupid things like, “Stay out of my bed!”  Nobody cares who is in your bed.  All sin, is sin.  An unbeliever can’t get anymore lost, or in the vernacular of our forefathers, “damned to Hell.”  But, you have to see that, according to the Bible, homosexuality IS against nature.  There is no getting around it.

It is easy for Christians to say things like, “Satan always has a counterfeit,” or, “Satan is always trying to establish his own kingdom over God’s,” but have you thought about the magnitude of what Satan is trying to do with The LGBT movement?  It is the ultimate counterfeit, the direct opposite of God’s plan.

First, God made man and woman.  Satan is completely twisting that by saying man is made for man, and woman is made for woman.

Second, God says “fill the earth”, but Satan is trying to reverse that command by any means. Consider, not only homosexuality, but abortion now and child sacrifice in times past (most would say they are one and the same).

Third, God makes and everlasting covenant with mankind that nature itself will continue and seals the covenant with a rainbow.  Satan has hijacked everything about it these covenants and twisted their meanings.

The LGBT movement could have chosen any symbol to represent itself, but they chose God’s symbol of the cosmic continuum.  It is a slap in the face to Almighty God.  It is a hijacking of God’s plan and promise in the most basic way imaginable.  It is against the very core of creation.

If you are a homosexual, the Christian community really does love you.  You may say things like, “You can’t condemn me.  I was born this way!”  There is absolutely none among us that would disagree with you.

“Why?” you may ask.  Because we were ALL born this way!  We all have to fight our nature.  Some were born gluttonous.  Some were born alcoholics.  By the way, there is far and away more evidence for a genetic propensity for these two areas of sin than homosexuality.  Even gay scientists can’t find a ‘gay’ gene.  Again, that’s a real thing.  You can google it (examples here, here and here).

On that same line of thought, pedophiles say they are born that way.  Where do we draw the line?  Is there even a line at all?  Is all behavior moral?  In the words of Aleister Crowley, often called the most evil man who ever lived,  “Do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.”  This was paraphrased in the 1960’s by the Hippies, aka the Love Children.  Their slogan was, “If it feels good, do it!”  I wonder if that applies to raping old women, hmmmm.

There has to be a standard.  There has to be a line in the sand.  From the very beginning of our nation, that line has been the word of God.  As we let the bedrock of Western Civilization erode under the onslaught of the enemy’s attacks in the form of LGBTQ, abortion, the occult, we will reap the consequences as a people.  And that’s a fact.
