For years I was
secretly terrorized by words like: "Sodomite",
"Abomination", & Scriptures taken out of context from Romans
chapter 1. Nobody knew I was dealing with these personal issues; & at
one time I would have rather died then have let anyone known how I
felt on the inside. At the same time, because of the way I
projected myself -- I was held up as an example to others.
The truth was, I was a slave to lies & fear myself.
Today I have a unique understanding of why Jesus told the masses
of people that unless their righteousness surpassed that of the
religious leaders, they would not inherit God's kingdom! It
was because their religious leaders (those in high profile) were
often lying hypocrites! The ones who seemed to have a handle on
"God" were actually hell-spawn!? That's what Jesus said!
Nothing has changed! What once seemed to be the "Word of the
Lawd", I discovered to be a perversion of what the Scriptures
actually said! As I became knowledgeable of Law in the secular
realm, it dawned on me that the Law of Moses was "Law"
as well, & needed to be handled like Law & the rules of
legal construction. Today, I can't stomach the lawless way
so-called Christians use Moses' Law! Thankfully - the Scriptures
expose the lies with the truth! |
False
Christian Clerics give thanks to their Gog.
Here's where the
SBC & the
KKK kiss!

"God's Spirit clearly
says that in the last days many people will turn from their faith.
They will be fooled by evil spirits and by
teachings that
come from demons. They will also be fooled by the false
claims of liars whose consciences have lost all feeling. These
liars will forbid people to marry..." - 1Tim 4 |
Sifting the lies from
your seminary sources:
An
example of a fine-sounding half-truth (a/k/a" "LIE")
-- told by the same sort of groups that bring the message about
AIDS above: 'God's
plan for man is heterosexual,
as it is written: "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.."'
- Mk 10:7-8
That's a typical statement
from some religious person w. an attached Jezuz-quote . The subtle
message that the LIE component of that statement pushes is that
the "plan"
is for everyone without exception.
The same Yeshua quoted there is the same who also said: "For
there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are
eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others--and there are those
who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of
heaven. The one who can accept this should accept
it." -Mt 19:12
We know that eunuchs don't marry
women or have their own children. They are exceptions.
So, Yeshua recognized an entire
class of people as legitimate who were exceptions!
But WHAT makes a person a eunuch - Scripturally? The common half-truth about
eunuchs is that they're men who've been castrated. That's a
lie because it's a very imperfect definition.
A EUNUCH is simply a man who has no desire
for women. There can be a number of reasons WHY
and a lack of desire for WOMEN does not mean "a lack of desire for
anyone". That would be like saying that an automobile that
doesn't burn gasoline MUST be an electric vehicle. But, the
existence of electric vehicles doesn't suddenly make those powered
by diesel, propane, or ethanol suddenly vanish (& none of those burn
gasoline either)!
And the Scripture also notes a
special covenant God has with faithful Eunuchs: "For
this is what the LORD says: “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths,
who choose what pleases Me and hold fast to My covenant— I will give
them, in My house and within My walls, a memorial and a name better
than that of sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting
name that will not terminate." - Isa 56:4-5 My point
here is NOT that eunuchs have right-standing with God by default. My
point is that being one isn't an "abomination" in itself.
Covenant with God is always based on an agreement and on God's
terms. The problem is that the same liars
quoted in purple-text above love to reinterpret God's
covenants and without any academically valid reasons - mold them into their own image.
Remember - it was the eunuchs
that cast evil Jezebel to her death: "Jehu
looked up at the window and called out, “Who is on my side? Who?”
And two or three eunuchs looked down at him. “Throw her down!”
yelled Jehu. So they threw Jezebel
down, and her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses as they
trampled her underfoot." II Ki 9:32-33. The irony here is that
when the soon-to-be King of Israel (Jehu had literally -just been
anointed by the prophet) called for those on his side - it was the
EUNUCHS who responded & threw out the most evil queen Israel had ever
been subject to!
Yeshua said that some eunuchs are
BORN THAT WAY. Hmmm.
What group might that encompass?
About the religious leaders of
his day: "Yeshua said, 'Woe
to you lawyers as well! For you weigh men down with burdens hard to
bear, while you yourselves will not even lift a finger to help
lighten the load." - Lk 11:46 Wow. Nothing
changes! Ever been to those "churches" where everything is a "sin"?
They're usually a bunch of religious hacks who can quote lots of
Bible verses but have no idea how to properly put them all together
so that peace & harmony exists in the texts. Their method of
operation is usually picking and choosing the parts of the Torah
that form a network of disconnected rules to control people with.
The prophet Isaiah spoke of their likes: The
Lord says: "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor
me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship
of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught."
- Isa 29:13
Understanding the truths in
Scripture can be a bit more complex:
"No, we speak
of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God
destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of
this time-frame understood it, for if they had, they would not have
crucified the Lord of glory."
- St. Paul
Many modern
dissertations on so-called "gender issues" are often built
on a platform of half-truths...the primary lie being: There
are (2) distinct genders & you are either 100% male, or
100% female. Yes, that's the lie! While there are (2)
genders, they're not always DISTINCT. Sometimes,
the lines get quite blurry. Want proof from
science? How about proof from the Bible too (for those of
you who've been lied to in your religious circles as well!)?
There is a very rational reason why over half of the
male population is amBIsexual to some degree!
Understand:
Among people - women have two "X"
chromosomes side by side, like this "XX"; -- While men
possess one shaped like a "Y",
and another shaped like an "X": "YX"
(or "XY"
depending on which way the microscope is pointing). Now, you'd
think this makes it a clear cut case for determining sex with the use
of "hard science". Well, it's not as straightforward
as that. See, even though this is how it happens most
of
the time, there are people born who don't fit the mold (Yeah, "boys"
having 2"X's", & "XY"
- "girls" ... And people who are "XYY",
"XXY",
"XXXY",
"X0", etc.)! So then, as it turns out, "hard
science" tells us that when you come right down to closely
inspecting genes (or jeans ;-),
the
issue of "sex" is sometimes blurry, amorphous & outright deceptive. And, certainly more complex than a deciding X
or Y chromosome! I'm NOT saying that there are MORE than 2
genders! I am saying that every person born is a COMBINATION of the
(2) and sometimes the genetic & hormonal predisposition leads to some ambiguous
traits that skew which of the (2) the person's life-role is to be
facilitated towards.

Explained
in the account of the creation of Man (Adam), Genesis records God
creating Adam as a being possessing BOTH
genders within the one man (God made the man (Hebrew:
aw-dawm'
[ADAM
- get it!?) B0TH
Male-&-Female; -- an account that is N0T
contrary to Christ's
quote above).
Eve was created from the body of Adam later. Therefore, Adam
& Eve are the SAME
type of flesh as it is written: "And
the man said, This now at last is bone of my bones, and
flesh of my flesh. For this shall be called Woman,
because this has been taken out of man."
- Gen 2:23 And even in his dissertation about marriage, Jesus went
on to say: "With
the result that they are no longer two, but_one flesh.
Therefore, what God joined together, stop letting a person separate!"
- Matt 19:6 All humans are of ONE
flesh!
Note a warning from the
Scripture about falling into the trap of so called "conventional
thinking": "Watch that there not be
one robbing you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the
tradition of men, according to the elements of the world, and not
according to Christ." -Col 2:8. And the same guy who wrote
that also penned: "In Christ there is ... neither Male & Female"!
(Galatians 3:28c)
Next LIE:
HeteroSexuality
(The very term itself)!
-
HOWEVER,
the term 'HETEROSEXUAL'
as commonly used does not describe commonness;
But is used to magnify an imaginary DIFFERENCE.
It implies that gender makes the husband & wife different
kinds of flesh from each ... - a notion not supported by the
Scripture. The term "HETEROsexual" tries to separate
the (1) flesh, into (2) different kinds. Moses's law forbids
mating "different kinds" and if men & women were HETERO(Different)
flesh - then God Himself would have violated his own commandment in
creation (Lev 19:19)! Genesis
makes clear that the genders
are "HOMO" ("flesh of my flesh, bone of my
bone" - said Adam
speaking of Eve), but false-religion asserts the genders are "HETERO"
instead.
Does the Scripture ever use the term "HETERO" in relation
to sex? Yes, it does and the use isn't favorable:
It is written: "Even as Sodom and `Gomorrah, and the cities
around them, having, in the same way as these, given themselves over
to sexual immorality and gone after
strange
flesh,
are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal
fire."
STRANGE
FLESH?
The Greek term is: "σαρκὸς ἑτέρας"
-- HETERO
SARKOS.
Notice the term Jude uses is
the Greek for "HETERO" in describing Sodom's sin! Many
scholars generally agree that Sodom idolized sexual relations with angels
-- perhaps as a religious cult? The 'visitors' from God who
arrived at Lot's house in the account of Sodom were indeed identified
as angels (by the Scripture), & the proclivity of the crowd
that surrounded Lot's house tended toward violence, & quite
likely, the interrogation & the eventual gang-rape of the strangers (angels).
This activity,- by the very definition in the text about Sodom's
sin, - is HETERO-SEXUAL
(Sex with the 'Other' - 'Strange flesh' - 'men mating different kinds'). This starkly contrasts
Adam's exclamation about Eve being 'flesh of his flesh' (like
flesh) ... or technically,
HOMO
if translated into a single Greek adjective!
-
The
theological implications of this distinction are serious; -Often running
completely counter to commonly held social beliefs & exposing modern
religious moirés about sexuality to be severely flawed &
UNscriptural!
Technically, a man who describes himself as
HETERO-sexual
is professing the same sexual proclivities as Sodom! Such a
person may insist that by "Hetero",
he means "with
the opposite sex"; But the account of creation makes
clear that the genders are same FLESH - "HOMO
SARKOS"
- NOT HETERO! And
if the genders are HOMO SARKOS (SAME CONSTITUENCY) then the argument
against SAME-GENDER INTIMACY is rendered nonsensical when based
merely on gender itself! In other words: If the opposite
genders are really the SAME (HOMO) FLESH (SARKOS), then saying that
God
opposes intimacy between SAME FLESH based on the LIKENESS of the mix
is simply nonsensical! If Adam & Steve want to
cuddle in the nude, tongue-wrestle or perform mutual fellatio -
the argument against the behavior can NOT be supported merely
because they are HOMO-SARKOS (Like Flesh) - because the Scriptures
also show Adam & Eve
were HOMO-SARKOS as well!
-
The Scripture makes it
clear that by your own measure will you be judged! Ironically
then, the very group of people who proudly &
self-righteously declare themselves to be "HETERO"sexual
become the very people who step into the judgment they pronounce on
others -whom, they label scornfully as "HOMOsexual"!
Why? It
really does have to do with a rebellious, ignorant mindset & an ironic twist caused
by the hypocrisy of certain men (-as they unrighteously judge others
by making rules directly contrary to the very language of the
Scripture itself! "Cursed
is he who removes his neighbor's landmark!"
- Moses
-
The
solution to this curse is to stop thinking in the flawed traditional terms
of "HOMO" - or - "HETERO"
regarding genders!
The
naked truth:
While it may seem that most of us are "basically MALE" or
"basically FEMALE", the reality is that each of us (every
one) are a combination of B0TH, and that
statistical-probabilities (+ combination of genes, hormones, nature
& nurture) create polarizations, -- regular
physiological biases that we call distinct
genders! True insanity is trying to fit everybody into (2)
exclusively, distinct categories called MALE -or- FEMALE!
Yet abusive religion & intrusive government have hoodwinked the
masses into buying a lie! Not
even science can define precisely what makes a person a
"man or a woman"! +60,000 times a year in the USA
alone, genes and physique do not line up to "the normal pattern".
Ironically,
this understanding is ancient; -- Almost 4000 years ago, Moses wrote in
Genesis 1: "And God prepared the man in His image; in the image of
God He prepared him, male and female".
Anyone familiar with the Genesis account knows that God created Adam,
- & that Eve did not even appear until Genesis 2:22 (made
FROM
the body of Adam [from the man was made the woman...hello])! This
view, over 4000 years old, - & amazingly supported by a genetic analysis
of sex(!), - turns modern social beliefs & sexual moiré's on their heads
in fields as divergent as theology to psychology!
Some
people (those with low reading comprehension skill perhaps) have been
reported to have read something into this analysis that is not here.
Some have said that this section implies that g0ys are intergendered
men. No! What this section says is that ALL people are made MALE &
FEMALE to
some degree (with physical expression generally tending to one extreme). Consider: Men have nipples; -- & women give birth to boys
50% of the time!
Think! Each child contains physical traits from B0TH parents
(male & female). All mammalian life begins as FEMALE in-utero.
Genes & hormones work together to create the end-gender body-form out of
the embryonic template. That being the case, - is it any surprise
that BIsexuality is so common to some degree in over +50% of the
population!
"And
he has made of one blood all the nations of men living
on all the face of the earth" -
Acts
17:26
One blood - not (2). Men & women can transfuse each other just
fine (No such thing as male or female blood). The term "HETEROsexual"
seeks to make a theological design-schism among genders where none
exists; - which is why the term implies a gigantic lie. It should be of no
surprise that among the range of human creation - that some - if not
most - experience situations where the perception of gender alone is
not sufficient to limit love in all it's fullness.

Why
so much time on theology? Because most guys who were ever shamed
for being affectionate with other guys were attacked with so-called
"Christian" theology. It seemed appropriate to show just
how totally wrong the so-called "experts" can be.
As it turns out, the "clobber" passages in the
Bible that are supposedly against same sex relationships are
actually against people using people in a demeaning fashion (Such
as people who use Scripture to baselessly shame others for simply
who they love). Very often, the ones pointing the fingers &
yelling "sinner" are the very ones sinning greater sins! Nobody
pointed that fact out any louder than Jesus himself
(which is why the corrupt religious-leaders conspired to kill
him)! |
