The Abomination of Homosexuality and God's Wrath on America

"Because there is wrath, beware lest He take thee away with His stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee" (Job. 36:18)

God made man and woman specifically complementary to each other, in a spiritual order that mirrors Christ and His bride, the church. God's patterns are very important and significant, so willful defiance of that is abominable to Him.

When He created the first people they were perfect in every way... free of all disease and defects, including the ageing process, but when sin entered the picture, all that changed. Humanity has fallen victim to every kind of illness, congenital shortcoming and fault.

The greatest fallacies and evil inclination come pro-homosexual advocates, which claims that scientific "Studies" have proven homosexuality is a congenitally determined deviation from normal sexual orientation and that the disorientation comes from the mother's bloodline. Another of their argument states it is often the case that more than one sibling in a family is a homosexual, even if they have different fathers.

This is one of the danger-signals which God has placed across the sinner's pathway to Hell. At every turn of the Broad Road there are notice boards giving warning of the Destruction which lies ahead. The Sunday School teacher, the prayers of godly parents, the sermons of faithful preachers, the little Gospel tract, the warnings of conscience, the innate fear of death, the declarations of Holy 'Writ, are the so many obstacles which God places in the way of the sinner-so many barriers to the Lake of Fire. This is to dissuade the sinner from to getting to end of the road.

One chief reason why God wrote the Bible was to warn the sinner of the awful consequences of sin, and to bid him flee from the wrath to come. There are many such scattered throughout the Bible. All the reminders are to forewarn us. "Be sure your sin will find you out" (Num. 32:23). "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Heb.9:27). "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" (Luke 13:5). "How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?" (Heb. 2:3).

Anytime evil finds a way into mainstream human decadence, practitioners have a way to state its roots can be traced nature. A sickening and an easy way to cling to waywardness which man is said to be prone to. Advocates have suggested that, there is every possibility that science can discover a remedy - if funding was ever devoted to it instead of the current creation of a subculture by the policies of homosexual lawyers and politicians. This assumption is fallacious and has given impetus for the spread of this abominable trend for irresponsible humans to practice what animals won't even practice.

What humanity should realize is we are grasping and holding on at straws with a very small point someone has made which is not even close to why Homos are sinful and should be treated as infidels without an element of empathy.

Many of those advocating recognition of Homos could be classified as fallen angels who rebel against the order of God. Our bodies are temples of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in us. ...and the temple of God is holy which temple we are, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17. The law of engagement is clearly seen with what God has designed showing the example of Himself. "Let us make man in our image after our likeness" Genesis 1:26-28 there is the ability to procreate.

The Fact of God's Wrath is real. Men try to forget that there is such a thing as Divine wrath. The realization of it makes them ill at ease, so they endeavor to banish all thought of it. At times they are terrified at the bare mention of God's wrath, hence their anxiety to dismiss the subject from their minds. Others try to believe there is no such thing. They argue that God is loving and merciful, and therefore God's Anger is merely a bogey with which to scare naughty children. But how do we know that God is Loving and Merciful? The unbeliever does not believe that He is. Nor does Nature clearly and uniformly reveal the fact. The answer is, we know God to be such, because His Word so affirms. Yes, and the same Bible which tells of God's Mercy speaks of His Wrath, and as a matter of fact, refers more frequently (much more so) to His anger than it does to His love.

The fact of God's Wrath is clearly revealed in the Scriptures. "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life; but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him" (John 3:36). We read in the Scriptures, "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men" (Rom. 1:18). "Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience" (Eph. 5:6). In these, and in other passages too numerous to mention, the fact of the Divine wrath is affirmed.

And now let us consider:

Those pontificating for recognition of the evil are leaders of societies where decadence is swallowing the society. God will that we posses these bodies in sanctification and honor and those who are called by His name should know how. The profound point is that man must reflect the truth of God, true to His image and likeness with all the likeness and image of Him. It is this profound mystery which makes evident then that homos are an abomination to what His image is and His likeness.

We should recognize that the “Wrath” is one of the Divine perfections. If God did not punish evildoers He would be a party to evil doing, He would compromise with wickedness, He would condone sin. Of necessity God is a God of Wrath. Let’s consider an argument from the less to the greater. In the human sphere he who loves purity and chastity and has no wrath against impurity and un-chastity is a moral leper.

So also is who pities the poor and defenseless and has no wrath against the oppressor who mortifies the weak and slays the defenseless, but loves them too, is a fiend or put it straight is an evil person. Divine wrath is Divine Holiness in activity. Because God is holy He hates sin, and because He hates sin His anger burns against the sinner. As it is written, "Thou hatest all workers of iniquity" (Psalm 5:5). And again, "God is angry with the wicked every day" (Psalm 7:11).

I want to clear something up. What Ghana as country is going through points to an impending super destructive hurricane or tsunami because some of the leaders are bidding for homosexual recognition! Although the God of Holiness will judge individuals for their sinful acts we must relent.

There will be judgment for the government if it promotes homosexual “marriage” as an ordinance. We must be concerned that once a nation legalizes sin, like abortion and homosexual “marriage”: that nation falls under the direct judgment of the Holy God of Israel. God does not destroy a nation right away but first warns.

Americans should by now realize that the end of their dominance is at its critical end. The various catastrophes confronting the nation must be a pointer to them to be wary of destruction fast approaching. It now appears that the warnings from God are coming to an end, and the destructive judgments have arrived.

America has not repented of promoting the homosexual agenda so the judgments will not stop. You can be angry with me, but it does not change that America has fallen under the judgment hand of the Holy God of Israel. God does not and will not tolerate homosexual “marriage”. It is the end of the line with sin.

In Isaiah 26:9 we read “With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness”.

Personal salvation is still available for all who repent of sin and trust Jesus Christ as their Savior. Time is running out for the United States as nation as the judgments are now almost non-stop.

The following is a teaching from the Bible which shows what triggers God’s judgment on a nation. America is now nearly fully engaged in making these sins ordinances. My admonition to Ghana and Ghanaians is that we should resist with all the might at our disposal against the evil doings of America. We should tell them to perish with their assistance, than to be part.

In Genesis 15:16 the Proclamation made about the Amorites to Abraham was that his descendants will only return after the Amorites iniquity had peaked and deserving destruction.

“But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full”.

God told Abraham that his descendants were going to leave the land of Canaan for 400 years because the iniquity of the people living in the land was not complete. There is a process for a society to be taken over by iniquity. In the case of the Canaanites, God gave these people 400 years to stop iniquity. God knew that after 400 years the iniquity of the people would reach its peak. The people would not turn from sin, but they would completely embrace it.

When looking at carefully Genesis 15:16 there is a key word in this verse. It is the Hebrew word translated “full”. This word is directly connected with the idea of friendly or friendship. The concept of this word is that when a society is friendly with iniquity at that point it is subject to judgment from God. Iniquity is no longer shameful or a disgraceful. It is not hidden or done in the dark. The people are friendly with it. They are accustomed to it. In Genesis 15:16, the Bible does not define iniquity: it simply states that there is a time for it to mature in a society and become full.

After the 400 years, the Jews left Egypt and came back to the land of Canaan. Today it is called the land of Israel. At this time, the Bible identifies what is iniquity. In Leviticus 18, God warned the Jews not to follow the ordinances of the Canaanites who lived in the land. The Canaanites and Amorites blended into one people; therefore it is also the ordinances of the Amorites that are mentioned in Genesis 15:16.

Leviticus 18:3 states “After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances”.

In the above verse, the key word is ordinances. The Hebrew word means an enactment and is also translated custom, manner, and statute. By using the word ordinance the Bible is describing a society that is “friendly” with iniquity. Iniquity has become ingrained in the Canaanites by both customs and laws which makes it a way of life. For this reason, God is about to judge the Canaanites and drive them off the land. The judgment comes because iniquity is an ordinance of the society and not because individuals are committing iniquity. When a society makes iniquity an ordinance, this is extremely serious with God.

In the later part of Leviticus 18, the Bible defines iniquity. It includes such acts as: adultery, child sacrifice, homosexuality and bestiality. Homosexuality is singled out from this group and described as an abomination. Without any doubt, God strongly condemns the homosexual act as iniquity. There is no section in the Old Testament where God approves or condones homosexuality. The homosexual act is a very serious offense to God. It is linked with child sacrifice and bestiality. The Scriptures to show this as follow:

Leviticus 18:20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbor’s wife, to defile thyself with her. (Adultery)

(21) And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD. (Child sacrifice)

(22) Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. (Homosexuality)

(23) Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. (Bestiality)

The Bible warns that when homosexuality becomes an ordinance, social custom or norm, it will bring God’s judgment on that nation. When the Bible defines iniquity, the homosexual act would out rightly fall under the description of this word. In the strongest language possible, the Bible says because of iniquity the land will vomit out its inhabitants. The Scriptures to show follows:

Leviticus 18:24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:

(25) And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.

(26) Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:

(27) (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled)

Sadly, the United States now is enacting, by both custom and law, the Ordinances of the Amorites; therefore the nation is defiled before the holy God of Israel and faces His judgment. By promoting homosexuality, America has become like the ancient pagan Amorites and has now come under the judgment of God.

America promotes homosexuality by custom with events such as Gay Pride Day, Gay Awareness Month (June), Gay day at Disney land, Gay Day at sporting events and events like Southern Decadence in New Orleans. There are gay clubs in high school and colleges. The political parties are pandering to the homosexuals for their votes. By custom, homosexuality has woven into the fabric of America.

America is incessantly making ordinances to advance the homosexual agenda. Sodomites can legally marry in California and Massachusetts while many states recognize civil unions. Homosexuals are now able to adopt children and gain custody of children during a divorce. There are now numerous hate speech laws which are being used to silence opposition to the homosexual agenda. America is a long way down the road to enacting all the Ordinances of the Amorites. Homosexuality is not allowed in Islam. There are various verses in Quran where Allah clearly speaks about Homosexuality. We also (sent) Lut: he said to his people: "Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you? "For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds." - Holy Quran 7:80-81 "Of all the creatures in the world will ye approach males". "And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay ye are a people transgressing (all limits)!" - Holy Quran 26:165-166 The end result for not giving up homosexuality was the destruction of entire cities. When Our decree issued We turned (the cities) upside down and rained down on them brimstones hard as baked clay spread layer on layer Marked as from thy Lord: nor are they ever far from those who do wrong! - Holy Quran 11:82-83 The Quran forbids any sexual relationship other than in a marriage between a man and a woman. Many homosexual men and women claim that they are born with their sexual preferences and that they have no choice. Although this point is very much in dispute in the medical world, it has no support in the Quran. Even then, irrespective of the nature of homosexuality, this matter would not affect the laws spelled out clearly in the Quran. Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer). - Holy Quran 87:9

The Bible warns of God judging a nation that walks in these ordinances. When the corporate attitude of a nation is friendly toward homosexuality then at this point the iniquity is full. It is apparent that “the cup” of America’s sin is rapidly filling up or filled up. Americans hardly blush anymore at fornication and adultery. The nation kills over one million babies a year with up to 50 million killed since 1973. The legalizing of abortion was an additional Ordinance of the Amorites. Homosexuality is fast becoming a constitutional right. The only ordinance left to fulfill Leviticus 18 is bestiality. This is probably next on line to become an ordinance!

God's wrath is not an abstract quality. God's wrath is not something that is inactive and inoperative. During Old Testament times God's wrath was openly displayed against evil-doers, notably at the Flood; in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and brimstone from heaven; on the Egyptians and their haughty king, when He visited their land with plagues, slew their first born and destroyed their armies at the Red Sea; and in His dealings with the Nation of Israel, in selling them into the hands of their enemies, sending them into captivity and destroying their beloved city.

The Bible warns of the Holy God of Israel judging a nation that walks in these ordinances. When the corporate attitude of a nation embraces homosexuality then, at this point, the iniquity is full. It is apparent that “the cup” of America’s sin is rapidly filling up or filled up and overflowing. Americans hardly feel ashamed anymore at fornication and adultery.

The horrendous acts of the nation America is mind-boggling. A nation that kills over one million babies a year with up to 55 million killed since 1973 from statistics. The legalizing of abortion was an additional Ordinance of the Amorites.

Homosexuality is fast becoming a constitutional right. The only ordinance left to fulfill Leviticus 18 is “bestiality”. This is probably next on line to become an ordinance!

Ghanaians must be steadfast in their conviction as we read from Jude 1:7, which states “Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire”.
