G0D DAMNED RELIGION!
Some probably think I'm merely being vulgar with my use of the term on the opening of this page -at the top. Actually, I'm being quite TECHNICAL. Spread throughout this website & particularly in this section, -great effort has been taken to show that:
The Scriptures do not condemn same-sex affections (not even Romans 1)
What IS condemned - quite specifically - are acts that hurt others (Specifically: AnalSex - an act that spreads disease explosively whether male/male or male/female)!
In a nutshell: "Love works no ill toward its neighbor; - therefore love is the fulfillment of the Law." If what you do in love doesn't tend to harm - then there is NO LAW AGAINST IT.
But, for those who insist on ignoring the HUGE amount of textual & contextual evidence for this posturing: A warning...

See the text in the box? I made this easy to follow: Read
the bright highlighted text - unbroken. If you've been pointing your
finger at people who were in same gender relationships (or who merely had
those types of feelings) - calling them "abominations" & making a charge
against them based on Scriptures like Leviticus 20:13 - merely because of
their gender; Then you're the false witness.
"A false witness is an ABOMINATION
to the LORD." - Solomon
The text in the box above says that the false witness
is to suffer the SAME
FATE as would have befallen the one falsely accused by them.
Now who's the "abomination"? Now who's "worthy of death"? Now who's
"G0D-DAMNED"?
The Apostle John said it like this:

According to the Scripture - most people who find themselves attending Westboro Baptist & it's spiritual affiliates are so trapped by REPROBATE thinking that the possibility of repentance is nearly nil. I'm posting this essay as a mere formality for those who might; --But more so as a comfort to those who have have been unjustly accused & tormented by the likes of Fred & his minions. Their failure to rightfully divide the Word on this issue - coupled with false-accusations based on their lazy, wicked apologetics classifies them as a "G0D-DAMNED RELIGION".

One of the most astonishing observations I have made is how biased Scripture translators have become in their willingness to use words - that are not even hinted at in the text. The most well known FABRICATION in scholarly circles is a phrase in the King James found in 1 John 5:7-8. "in the heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these--the three--are one; -and three are who are testifying in the earth". Modalists without a footnote explaining the insertion, have found this phrase difficult to deal with. No wonder - considering it's nowhere in the original texts! Yes, there are some OUTRIGHT LIES in the Bible; - Things men added to the original Scriptures!
And now: Look at what certain modern translator's did: "Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities near them, which like them committed sexual sins and engaged in homosexual activities, serve as an example of the punishment of eternal fire." In the original Greek - the term which is rendered by the previous translator as "homosexual" comes from the Greek terms "heteros sarx". Literally: "DIFFERENT FLESH". Notice the term "heteros". This is the term used to derive the prefix "hetero" in English ... as in "HETEROsexual". "HETERO" is the precise opposite of "HOMO" (BOTH GREEK TERMS)!
So how does the translator derive "homo" from it's antonym!? The choice of a translation style would have been better rendered: "Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities near them, which like them committed sexual sins and engaged in heterosexual activities, serve as an example of the punishment of eternal fire." I wonder how that rendering would go over if widely printed into Bibles. Of course, translators justify transmuting "HETERO" into "HOMO" because "EVERYBODY KNOWS ..." about the account of Sodom (or so they think). BLACK: It's the new WHITE.
This brings me to another mystery: How is it that translators (or anybody) can overlook the fact that in the account of Sodom - that the inhabitants of the city were planning to gang rape a couple of angels (that appeared as young men). But (in a bizarre theological twist), instead of seeing the intent to interrogate/GANG-RAPE the strangers as a grievous crime, -they focus on the gender-appearance of the strangers -and declare the crime "homosexuality". Would the act have been acceptable IF the angels had appeared female? Well? Would a mixed-gender gang-rape rape of a couple of innocent ambassadors been any less reason to bring God's intended judgment to pass? Hmmm?
Jesus criticized the religious leaders of his day of "straining out a gnat while swallowing a camel". Gnats & camels are both "unclean" to eat under Jewish law. Jesus was making an observation that -in their hypocrisy- the "legal experts" would take steps necessary to filter out the smallest gnat from their drink -- while in the spiritual sense - swallowing a camel because they neglected the weightier matters of the law! Indeed!

Nothing has changed! Today's "religious legal
experts" (translators) substitute darkness for light!
Astonishingly, in the (2)
MODERN
Greek Bibles I have -- the language has been
CHANGED to
represent the exact opposite
of what the original
GREEK says!
This is the moral equivalent of a lab-tech erasing the "AB+" blood-type
label from the packaging and replacing it with an "0-". And the 2nd evil is:
That
when somebody comes along & catches the mislabeling (exposes a deadly lie) -- that the "experts" insist
on leaving it in its current deadly state (for the sake of appearances)!
Worshipping a translation is
idolatry - especially one that has been provably adulterated. Test EVERYTHING. Hold on to the good & avoid every evil thing. |
LUCIFER'S WINNING STRATEGY
Within the New Covenant, there are several amazing principles that work in harmony to provide unmerited grace to save those who believe the message. Jesus articulated one such principle & taught that by whatever measure you use to judge others -it would become your measure too. And it is this principle that Lucifer has utilized to shipwreck the salvation of many. Some may ask in complete incredulity, "If in Christ our right-standing with God is propitiated by what Jesus did (not by ourselves); --Then how could a Christian be damned in light of this position of propitiated innocence?" And that's a very good question.
Here's the answer: That Christian adopts a belief system that falsely condemns the innocent. Because, -if the measure you use damns the innocent; -then we know that the same measure will become that which judges that Christian. And when a person's "measure" damns the innocent -as his standard; --Despite the fact he may have propitiated right-standing (innocence) before God, -even that righteousness is not sufficient to save him BECAUSE his own measure damns the innocent! He's totally screwed himself!
And this interaction of self-inflicted damning judgment has been but one of the fruits of the heresy that claims that God condemns all mere same-gender intimacy (merely based on gender). Christians now expend great amounts of energy to condemn people everywhere simply because the gender of a couple may be "the same". We've heard the rhetoric: "God hates fags", "worthy of death", "Sodom and ...", "Adam & Eve, not Adam & Steve", and on & on, & on. Yet despite the angry rhetoric, -the original language Scriptural texts themselves make crystal clear that God has NEVER HAD an issue with same-sex intimacy (but only certain acts that lead to harm). Love works no ILL! Hey, the context fits! Imagine that! God doesn't author confusion!
And so the Scripture will be fulfilled about God not being mocked. And the Scripture will be fulfilled about those who bear false witness. And the Scripture will be fulfilled about a man's measure becoming his own. And the Scripture will be fulfilled about the lazy, wicked servant. And the Scripture will be fulfilled about damned religious leaders damning their own followers. And the Scripture will be fulfilled about judgment beginning 1st in the household of God!
And this is so because people loved a LIE & hated truth; -And because they did not value having knowledge of God in their thinking, -God gave them over to a reprobate mind! The very Scriptures they ruthlessly hurl at others (out of context); -will be used on them (IN context)! And because their standard of judgment condemns the innocent, -nothing can save them (because they blaspheme even the obvious work of the Spirit in the lives of those attracted to the same gender -calling them "to'ebah" without just cause)!
"G0D DAMNED
RELIGION"
is a term absolutely on-point!
