This post is not to be understood as critical of the
gay community. This subject may be objectionable to many. However, I am looking
at it not critically, but objectively.
“The preaching of the cross
is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power
of God.
For it is written, I will
destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of
the prudent.
Where is the wise? where is
the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the
wisdom of this world?
For after that in the wisdom
of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of
preaching to save them that believe.…
Because the foolishness of
God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
For ye see your calling,
brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many
noble, are called:
But God hath chosen the
foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak
things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
And base things of the world, and things
which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to
bring to nought things that are:
That no flesh should glory in
His presence.
But of Him are ye in Christ
Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and
sanctification, and redemption.” (1Cor. 1:18-21,25-30).
LGGBTQQIAAPPK. “Lesbian, Gay,
G__?, Bi-Sexual, Trans-Sexual, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual,
A__?, Pan-Sexual, Poly-Sexual, P___?, Kink. Things not on this list:
Otherkin, Demisexual, Supporter.”
“The categories of human sex
and gender expression and identities they could represent is likely infinite.” (Quoted
from the website http://www.rolereboot.org/sex-and-relationships/details/2012-06-what-do-all-those-letters-mean-anyway-defining-lgbtq).
“Transgender, genderqueer,
androgynous, and intersex are all identities which call into question the
gender binary…. For me, pansexual is a label that defies labels. It pulls the
rug out from under the gender binary as well as earlier concepts of sexual
orientation, by separating sexual/affectional orientation from binary notions
of gender. It is essentially a refusal to define sexual orientation based on
gender….” (ibid.). I gather from this
gender confused person’s statement that her disposition toward original norms
is one of “refusal” and “pulling the rug from under” the current labels of male
and female genders. Maybe I mistake her intentions, but I hear anger and retaliation.
“The [Evangelical] require a
[miracle], and the [atheistic, secular, hedonist] seek after wisdom: but we preach
Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks
foolishness; but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the
power of God, and the wisdom of God.” (1Cor. 1:22-24).
Since the days of Adam,
humanity has always been able to be divided up into these three categories. “Thy
[Satan’s] seed and her [Eve’s] seed” (Gen. 3:15), and “the sons of God” who “saw
the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which
they chose…. and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the
daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men
which were of old, men of renown.” (Gen. 6:2,4). In the ancient Roman world
there were the same three groups of people—the apostate religious, the apostate secular, and “the
called”, the new creations of Christ. In the days of the apostles, there was the Jew, the Greek, and the
Christian. There was the Pharisee, the Sadducee, and the disciple of Christ. And
what about today? Isn’t it the same? There is nothing new under the sun. there
is the religious Republicans and the irreligious Democrats, and those who “let
political questions alone.” Counsels to
the church, p. 316. “The thing that
hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which
shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” (Ecc. 1:9).
It's always been the same. Two groups of children of wrath get on either side of an issue and commence to fighting. One side is full of mercy/grace without the necessary complementing of truth/justice, and the group on the other side of the issue is full of justice/truth without mercy/grace. And never do the twain meet.
And Christ calls His new creations out of the first two groups. His people are drawn from the two. They will use no force except the force of love. With the Spirit of God in them they need no support from the world, especially from the government. We should have nothing to do religio-politically with anything or anybody. Adventists cannot align with the Evangelicals in anything, especially in their ugly stance on punishing the gay community. They should let God do that work, “receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.” (Rom. 1:27). All the while He is calling to their spirit.
“Again and again Christ had been asked to decide legal and political questions. But He refused to interfere in temporal matters. He knew that in the political world there were iniquitous proceedings and great tyranny. But His only exposure of these was the proclamation of Bible truth. To the great multitudes that thronged His steps He presented the pure, holy principles of the law of God and spoke of the blessing found in obeying these principles. With authority from on high He enforced the importance of justice and mercy. But He refused to become entangled in personal disputes.
Christ stood in our world as the Head of
the great spiritual kingdom that He came to our world to establish -the kingdom
of righteousness. His teaching made plain the ennobling, sanctifying principles
that govern this kingdom. He showed that justice and mercy and love are the controlling
powers in Jehovah’s kingdom.” Testimonies
for the church, p. 218.
How do the first two groups—the
religious and the ethical treat each other? With great animosity. All Paul had to do was throw in a verbal bombshell, for instance, the subject of the resurrection. And they were at each other’s
throats. “But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the
other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a
Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called
in question. And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the
Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided…. And there arose a
great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove,…
And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul
should have been pulled in pieces of them.” (Acts 23:6,7,9,10).
How do the “called” treat the
other two groups? With utmost care and gentleness. Because that is how Jesus
treated them. Jesus loved the Jewish religious leaders, Gentiles, Samaritans, alike. But, the higher
in rank they got He tended to be stronger against their covetous, adulterous,
uncaring lives. He knew each of them and dealt with each on an individual
basis. He is the “the Judge of all the earth” (Gen. 18:25), and He will “do
right”. That’s why while He walked among them “the common people heard Him
gladly” (Mark 12:37) and yet, after He left “a great company of the priests were
obedient to the faith” (Acts 6:7). You don’t get that kind of response unless
you have loved everyone indiscriminately and showed true leadership. The Lord was no respecter of persons.
But, is that what we are
seeing and hearing from the religious segments of Protestant America today? In the
way of the gay community, are the pure religious touching the untouchables like their Lord touched
them? Touching the untouchable is the Evangelicals’ high profession, yet their
greatest hypocisy.
Are they touching the gay
community with gentleness or are they demonizing them and arraigning them up
before the congregations with religious threats and before the government with religious enactments?
This post isn’t condoning the
LGGBTQQIAAPPK lifestyle. But neither does it condemn them. "For the Son of man came not to destroy men's lives but to save them." (Luke 9:56).
“He that winneth souls is
wise” (Prov. 11:30) and that wisdom is a gift from the Master Teacher, “Christ
Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and
sanctification, and redemption.” (1Cor. 1:30). He died to win them to His Father's Law; but these Evangelical enthusiasts desire to rain down fire from heaven upon them. Jesus says to them, “Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell.” (Matt. 23:33).
In the post-flood world there
were three families who characterized these three groups in the world. Those
three families descended from the three sons of Noah, “Shem, Ham, and Japheth.”
(Gen. 5:32). Shem was the father of the Hebrews, the humbled and converted people who knew their God. Ham,
especially through his son and grandson Cush and Nimrod, was the father of
false religion, apostasy, and deep, dark occult paganism. Japheth didn’t commit
to either ideology of Shem or Ham, but it is highly possible that later in his
life, as with King Nebuchadnezzar to Daniel’s God, Japheth turned to the God of
Shem and his father, Noah.
“God shall enlarge Japheth,
and He shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.” (Gen.
9:27). No doubt Shem treated his elder brother with genuine respect, without
condoning his agnostic frame of mind. No doubt Shem showed tender love for
Japheth and drew him to the Saviour, “with cords of a man, with bands of love.”
(Hos. 11:4).
It is true that the
antediluvian race was an extremely wicked world, and that every kind of
sexuality ran rampant. “And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive
with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and
twenty years…. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,
and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil
continually. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled
with violence…. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for
all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.” (Gen. 6:3,5,11,12).
Finally the wickedness came
to crisis proportions. The Son of God ended that race of men, and started over
again with Noah and his family. The Son of God, in whose mouth was “the law of
kindness” (Prov. 31:26), had wise love that couldn’t let their evil treatment
to each other continue forever. So, He caused a flood of water to destroy them
all.
“As the days of Noe were, so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before
the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until
the day that Noe entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and
took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” (Matt.
24:37-39).
“When they knew God, they
glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their
imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing themselves to be
wise, they became fools,
And changed the glory of the
uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and
fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them
up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own
bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God
into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who
is blessed for ever. Amen.
For this cause God gave them
up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into
that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men,
leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another;
men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that
recompence of their error which was meet.
And even as they did not like
to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do
those things which are not convenient [not fit];
Being filled with all
unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of
envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Backbiters, haters of God,
despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Without understanding,
covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who knowing the judgment of
God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the
same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” (Rom. 1:21-32).
He gave that long-lived race
120 years of life to hear His call to them. But, in the end, Noah’s preaching
couldn’t change the hearts of the rebellious religio-political, antedeluvian Christians and hedonists, therefore it came time to end the whole irreverent, presumptuous
charade.
It is true that we need to
protect our children from the influence of today’s evils. It is true that
parents need to fear for their children’s future. Society in America is caving
in on itself for its lack of morality. “Iniquity shall abound, the love of many
shall wax cold.” (Matt. 24:12). “Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and
worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” (2Tim. 3:13).
“In the last days perilous
times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous,
boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce,
despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of
pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the
power thereof: from such turn away.” (2Tim. 3:1-5).
It is true that those same
extensive species of evil will be destroyed at Christ’s return.
But, it is also true that the
politically allied churched people need to remember that just prior to Christ’s
return all of those LGGBTQQIAAPPK brothers of ours will get to hear the beauty
of God’s mercy upon them. As the prophet to Protestantism foresaw it, “Before
the final visitation of God’s judgments upon the earth there will be among the
people of the Lord such a revival of primitive godliness as has not been
witnessed since apostolic times. The Spirit and power of God will be poured out
upon His children.” Great
Controversy, p. 464.
Matthew 24:14 hasn’t yet been
fulfilled, “…this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for
a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
The LGGBTQQIAAPPK will hear, “Comfort ye, comfort ye My
people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her,
that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath
received of the LORD’s hand double for all her sins.” (Isa. 40:1,2).
“The time is
fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the
gospel.” (Mark 1:15).
“They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are
sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not
sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
(Matt. 9:12,13).
“I say unto you, that
likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over
ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.” (Luke 15:7).
“But if ye had known what
this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned
the guiltless.” (Matt. 12:7).
Jesus never gave needless pain to a sensitive soul.
Jesus never gave needless pain to a sensitive soul.
“A bruised reed shall He not
break, and smoking flax shall He not quench, till He send forth judgment unto
victory. And in His name shall the Gentiles trust.” (Matt. 12:20,21).
The Latter Rain of the Spirit
of life from God revives the struggling spirituality of the remnant of
Protestantism and Adventism. They are humbled by the tyranny of the Roman
enemies of the Lord. They trust in the only begotten Son of God, and are “sealed
with that holy Spirit of promise.” (Eph. 1:13).
The remnant church will repent
of their apostasy, and that will qualify them to call the heathen to
repentance.
“And having in a readiness to
revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” (2Cor. 10:6). The
church has a readiness to revenge disobedience only after their obedience is
fulfilled. When we can treat others like Jesus did, not with the iron fist of a
Pharisee, but with the gentleness of Christ. The church needs to be converted
before it can convert their first confused LGGBTQQIAAPPK brother and sister.
On that note, we need to add another letter
to the long acronym LGGBTQQIAAPPK: “C”, for confused.
“They know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34). O Puritan, can’t we allow the
LGGBTQQIAAPPKC the mercy that Jesus gave to the whole world? It’s the crumbling of the family, and of society in
general, which has brought to so many minds a disillusionment and confusion of
soul and identity. The father figure, especially in Protestant nations, has
been bombarded by their enemy’s media.
“Transgender, genderqueer,
androgynous, and intersex are all identities which call into question the gender
binary…. For me, pansexual is a label that defies labels. It pulls the rug out
from under the gender binary as well as earlier concepts of sexual orientation,
by separating sexual/affectional orientation from binary notions of gender. It
is essentially a refusal to define sexual orientation based on gender….” (Quoted
from the website http://www.rolereboot.org/sex-and-relationships/details/2012-06-what-do-all-those-letters-mean-anyway-defining-lgbtq).
I gather from this gender confused person’s statement that her disposition
toward original norms is one of “refusal” and “pulling the rug from under” the
current labels of male and female genders. Maybe I mistake her intent, but I
hear her anger and retaliation. Yet, I can’t help but apply this scripture, “God
hath concluded them all in unbelief, that He might have mercy upon all.” (Rom.
11:32).
The Puritanical,
religio-political Evangelicals are repeating the history of the puritanical
Pharisees of old. “The sons of Pharez”, the “repairers of the breach”, the
guardians of the Law” have become unbearably hypocritical, heartless, and
despotic. But, as soon as they touch the first searching LGGBTQQIAAPPKC child
of God, whose “angels do always behold the face of My Father” (Matt. 18:10),
the tyrannical Evangelical will be judged worthy of hellfire. They must end
their demonizing of the gay community, and consider the beam in their own eye.
“And Jesus called a little
child unto Him, and set him in the midst of them,
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be
converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom
of heaven.
Whosoever therefore shall
humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of
heaven.
And whoso shall receive one
such little child in My name receiveth Me.
But whoso shall offend one of
these little ones which believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone
were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Woe unto the world because of
offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom
the offence cometh!
Take heed that ye despise not
one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do
always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
For the Son of man is come to save that which
was lost.” (Matt. 18:2-7,10,11)
The time has come that
history is being repeated.
“Behold, thou art called [an
Evangelical], and restest in the [Bible], and makest thy boast of God,
And knowest His will, and
approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the [Bible];
And art confident that thou
thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
An instructor of the foolish,
a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the [Bible].
Thou therefore which teachest
another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal,
dost thou steal?
Thou that sayest a man should
not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost
thou commit sacrilege?
Thou that makest thy boast of
the [Bible], through breaking the [Bible] dishonourest thou God?
For the name of God is
blasphemed among the [LGGBTQQIAAPPK] through you, as it is written.” (Rom.
2:17-24).
The Evangelical philosophy: “We
who are [Christians] by nature, and not sinners of the [LGGBTQQIAAPPK],” (Gal.
2:15) is no different than that of ancient Egypt. “The Egyptians might not eat
bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.” (Gen.
43:32).
“For ye, brethren, became
followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye
also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the
Jews (the Evangelicals): who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own
prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to
all men: forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles (the LGGBTQQIAAPPKs) that they
might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to
the uttermost.” (1Thess. 2:14-16).
“Christ hath redeemed us from
the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is
every one that hangeth on a tree: that the blessing of Abraham might come on
the Gentiles (LGGBTQQIAAPPKs) through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the
promise of the Spirit through faith.” (Gal. 3:13,14).
“Wherefore remember, that ye
being in time past Gentiles (LGGBTQQIAAPPKs) in the flesh, who are called [Unredeemed]
by that which is called the [Redeemed] in the (Puritan) flesh made by hands;
That at that time ye were
without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers
from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
But now in Christ Jesus ye
who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
For He is our peace, who hath
made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Having abolished in His flesh
the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make
in Himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
And that He might reconcile
both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby.” (Eph.
2:11-16).
“That the Gentiles (LGGBTQQIAAPPKs)
should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in
Christ by the gospel: whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of
the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of His power. Unto me,
who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should
preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ.” (Eph. 3:6-8).
“Is He the God of the [Evangelical
Puritans] only? is He not also of the (LGGBTQQIAAPPKs)? Yes, of the Gentiles (LGGBTQQIAAPPKs)
also.” “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the
deeds of the law.” (Rom. 3:29,28).
“What if God, willing to shew
His wrath, and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the
vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
And that He might make known
the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had afore prepared
unto glory,
Even us, whom He hath called,
not of the Jews (Puritans) only, but also
of the Gentiles (LGGBTQQIAAPPKs)?
As He saith also in Osee, I
will call them My people, which were not My people; and her beloved, which was
not beloved.
And it shall come to pass,
that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not My people; there
shall they be called the children of the living God.
Esaias also crieth concerning
Israel, Though the number of the children of [LGGBTQQIAAPPK] be as the sand of the sea,
a remnant shall be saved:
For He will finish the work,
and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon
the earth.
And as Esaias said before,
Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been
made like unto Gomorrha.
What shall we say then? That
the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to
righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
But Israel, which followed
after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Wherefore? Because they sought
it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at
that stumblingstone;
As it is written, Behold, I
lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on Him
shall not be ashamed.” (Rom. 9:22-33).
And who are the vessels
fitted to destruction? The rebellious heathen? Or the rebellious religious
people? The rebellious religious people. “For all those things hath Mine hand
made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I
look, even to him that is poor and of a
contrite spirit, and trembleth at My word.
He that killeth an ox is as
if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog’s neck; he
that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine’s blood; he that burneth
incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and
their soul delighteth in their abominations.
I also will choose their
delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none
did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine
eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
Hear the word of the LORD, ye
that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for
my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your
joy, and they shall be ashamed.
A voice of noise from the
city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to
his enemies.” (Isa. 66:2-6).
“But ye are they that forsake
the LORD, that forget My holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop,
and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.
Therefore will I number you
to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I
called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before Mine
eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
Therefore thus saith the Lord
GOD, Behold, My servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, My servants
shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, My servants shall rejoice, but ye
shall be ashamed:
Behold, My servants shall
sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for
vexation of spirit.
And ye shall leave your name
for a curse unto My chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call His
servants by another name:
That he who blesseth himself
in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in
the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are
forgotten, and because they are hid from Mine eyes.” (Isa. 65:11-16).
“And I will come near to you
to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against
the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the
hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the
stranger from his right, and fear not Me, saith the LORD of hosts.” (Mal. 3:5).
“Give ear, O ye heavens, and
I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of My mouth.
My doctrine shall drop as the
rain, My speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender
herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
Because I will publish the
name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
He is the Rock, His work is
perfect: for all His ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity,
just and right is He.
[The Puritans] have corrupted
themselves, their spot is not the spot of His [commandment- and faith-keeping] children:
they are a perverse and crooked generation.
Do ye thus requite the LORD,
O foolish [Puritans] and unwise? is not He thy father that hath bought thee?
hath He not made thee, and established thee?
Remember the days of old,
consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee;
thy elders, and they will tell thee.
When the most High divided to
the nations their inheritance, when He separated the sons of Adam, He set the
bounds of the people according to the number of the children of [the
Reformation].
For the LORD’s portion is His
[humbled and converted] people; [Protestantism] is the lot of His inheritance.
He found [the Reformation] in
a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; He led him about, He
instructed him, He kept him as the apple of His eye.
As an eagle stirreth up her
nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them,
beareth them on her wings:
So the LORD alone did lead [the
Protestants], and there was no [Catholic] god with [them].
He made [Protestant America]
ride on the high places of the earth, that [Protestant Americans] might eat the
increase of the fields; and He made [Protestant America] to suck honey out of
the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
Butter of kine, and milk of
sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the
fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou [Puritan America] didst drink the pure blood
of the grape.” (Deut. 32:1-14).
“But [the Puritans] waxed
fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered
with fatness; then [the Puritan Protestant] forsook God which made him, and
lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
They provoked Him to jealousy
with strange gods, with abominations provoked they Him to anger.
They [have clasped hands with
the Vatican to sacrifice] unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not,
to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
Of the Rock that begat thee [Protestant
America] thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
And when the LORD saw it, He
abhorred them, because of the provoking of His [remnant] sons, and... daughters.
And He said, I will hide My
face from [Protestant America that have clasped hands with the Jesuit Vatican], I will
see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children
in whom is no faith.
They have moved Me to
jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked Me to anger with their [Vatican Spiritual Formation] vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not
a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
For a fire is kindled in Mine
anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with
her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
I will heap mischiefs upon
them; I will spend Mine arrows upon them.
They shall be burnt with
hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will
also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the
dust.
The sword without, and terror
within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with
the man of gray hairs.
I said, I would scatter them into corners, I
would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:…
For they are a [religio-political]
nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
O that they were wise, that
they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
How should one [Catholic]
chase a thousand [Protestants], and two put ten thousand to flight, except [those Protestants’]
Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
For [the Puritanical tyrannical] rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
For [the Puritan’s tyrannical]
vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are
grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
Their wine is the poison of
dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
Is not this laid up in store
with Me, and sealed up among My treasures?
To Me belongeth vengeance,
and recompence; their [eighth head of their religio-political beast] foot shall slide in due time: for the
day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make
haste.
For the LORD shall judge His [Puritans],
and repent Himself for His servants, when He seeth that their power is gone,
and there is none shut up, or left.
And He shall say, Where are
their Baalim and Ashtoreth gods, their [Vatican] rock in whom they trusted,
Which did eat the fat of
their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up
and help you, and be your protection.
See now that I, even I, am He,
and there is no god with Me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal:
neither is there any that can deliver out of My hand.
For I lift up My hand to
heaven, and say, I live for ever.
If I whet My glittering
sword, and Mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to Mine
enemies, and will reward [the determined Puritans and confirmed LGGBTQQIAAPPKs] that hate me.
I will make Mine arrows drunk
with blood, and My sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the
slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
Rejoice, O ye nations, with His
people: for He will avenge the blood of His servants, and will render vengeance
to His adversaries, and will be merciful unto His land, and to His people.”
(Deut. 32:15-26,28-43).
“What then? [The
Evangelicals] hath not obtained that which they seek for; but the [LGGBTQQIAAPPKC]
election hath obtained it, and the rest [of the Evangelicals and
LGGBTQQIAAPPKs] were blinded
(According as it is written,
God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and
ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
And David saith, Let their
table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto
them:
Let their eyes be darkened,
that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
I say then, Have they
stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall
salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.” (Rom.
11:7-11).
The only begotten Lord God of
Israel does not hate today’s evangelical establishment. He wants to save them
all. And He will save “some of them”, the “elect”, the “remnant” of them, just
as He desires the save all the LGGBTQQIAAPPK community. And He will save some of them, as
in Paul’s day.
Although not all of them were
saved,
“This I say therefore, and
testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as [the determinedly
rebellious LGGBTQQIAAPPK] walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Having the understanding
darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in
them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Who being past feeling have
given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with
greediness.
But ye have not so learned
Christ.” (Eph. 4:17-20).
But the least rebellious of
both groups, “both Jews and Gentiles” (Rom. 3:9), the searching LGGBTQQIAAPPKC and the least puritanical of the Evangelicals, who would surrender to
the “chastisement of [their] peace” and repent, would be saved and be included
in the redeemed sinners of all ages. Therefore, how can we demonize all of the
LGGBTQQIAAPPKC before they have heard the Latter Rain preaching?
Precious promises for the
LGGBTQQIAAPPKC community.
“Now I say that Jesus Christ
was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the
promises made unto the fathers:
And that the [LGGBTQQIAAPPKC]
might glorify God for His mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will
confess to thee among the [LGGBTQQIAAPPKC], and sing unto thy name.
And again he saith, Rejoice,
ye [LGGBTQQIAAPPKC], with His people.
And again, Praise the Lord,
all ye [LGGBTQQIAAPPKC]; and laud Him, all ye people.
And again, Esaias saith,
There shall be a root of Jesse, and He that shall rise to reign over the [LGGBTQQIAAPPKC];
in Him shall the [LGGBTQQIAAPPKC] trust….
That I should be the minister
of Jesus Christ to the [LGGBTQQIAAPPKC], ministering the gospel of God, that
the offering up of the [LGGBTQQIAAPPKC] might be acceptable, being sanctified
by the Holy Ghost.” (Rom. 15:8-12,16).
“For as ye [LGGBTQQIAAPPKC]
in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through [the
tyrannical Puritanical’s] unbelief:
Even so have these [tyrannical
Puritanicals] also now not believed, that through your [the believing, former LGGBTQQIAAPPKC’s] mercy
they also may obtain mercy.
For God hath concluded them
all in unbelief, that He might have mercy upon all.
O the depth of the riches
both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgments,
and His ways past finding out!
For who hath known the mind
of the Lord? or who hath been His counsellor?
Or who hath first given to Him,
and it shall be recompensed unto Him again?
For of Him, and through Him,
and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.” (Rom. 11:30-36).
“For I would not, brethren,
that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own
conceits; that blindness in part is happened to [the tyrannical Evangelicals],
until the fulness of the [LGGBTQQIAAPPKCs] be come in. And so all [the converted
and cleansed LGGBTQQIAAPPKCs and Evangelicals] shall be saved: as it is
written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away
ungodliness from Jacob: for this is My covenant unto them, when I shall take
away their sins.” (Rom. 11:25-27).
“Let not sin therefore reign
in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Neither yield ye your members
as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as
those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of
righteousness unto God.
For sin shall not have
dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
What then? shall we sin,
because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Know ye not, that to whom ye
yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether
of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
But God be thanked, that ye
were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of
doctrine which was delivered you.
Being then made free from
sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
I speak after the manner of
men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members
servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your
members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
For when ye were the servants
of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
What fruit had ye then in
those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
But now being made free from
sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end
everlasting life.
For the wages of sin is
death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
(Rom. 6:12-23).
“But is now made manifest by the appearing of
our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and
immortality to light through the gospel: whereunto I am appointed a preacher,
and an apostle, and a teacher of the [redeemed LGGBTQQIAAPPKCs].” (2Tim.
1:10,11).
“Notwithstanding the Lord
stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully
known, and that all the [LGGBTQQIAAPPKs] might hear: and I was delivered out
of the mouth of the lion.” (2Tim. 4:17).
“For I speak to you [redeemed
LGGBTQQIAAPPKCs], inasmuch as I am the apostle of the [LGGBTQQIAAPPKs], I magnify
mine office:
If by any means I may provoke
to emulation [the tyrannical Puritanicals] which are my flesh, and might save
some of them.
For if the casting away of [the tyrannical Puritans] be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
For if the firstfruit be
holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
And if some of the branches [of
the Puritans] be broken off, and thou [LGGBTQQIAAPPKCs], being a wild olive
tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and
fatness of the olive tree;
Boast not against the [Puritans].
But if thou boast, thou bearest not the [Puritanical Evangelicals, but the [Puritans] thee.” (Rom.
11:13-18).
“And without controversy
great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in
the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the [LGGBTQQIAAPPKC’s],
believed on in the world, received up into glory.” (1Tim. 3:16).
