The Modern War on God, Family, Freedom, Truth and Reality
By Craig Manners
2017
There is a group of activists I call Rainbowists, the ones who insist that God does not exist and that no one can tell them what to do, or that something is objectively true, right or wrong. They get mad at the idea of God and shake their fists at the God they insist does not exist. They are at war with reality in the west, and the attempt to change the definition of marriage is just one battle they have launched in their war on morality. But it is a big one.
The transgender, gender confusion being taught by Daniel Andrew’s Safe Schools and Respectful Relationships programs is another battlefront. They have a lot of government money for their programs, they have successfully infiltrated the media and education departments over many years, left-wing political groups have joined in and now promote this movement because they see it as a great way of controlling people and getting access to “free” money from the government.
Together they are flooding our nation with their dangerous anti-truth, anti-children, ideas.
As Christians, we are not against people no matter what they do or may have done in their past. I speak against ideology, behaviour, ideas, movements, politics, and I do so because it is against God’s ways and harmful to children and society.
As a Christian I firmly believe it is not loving to quietly stand by and observe while a fellow traveller in this fallen world is running toward a cliff, over which lies nothing less than unending horror. So we do not hate people, no matter what they do or have done, we show real love for people by speaking the truth and like God’s prophets of old, sounding a warning of the consequences of continuing to disobey God and follow wrong paths.
As Christians, we believe that we are all made by God and in the image of God, therefore we all have a God given dignity and we are worthy of mutual respect. God calls us to love Him and to love each other. I believe that in loving God we find that love for our fellow man naturally follows.
I am very concerned about the direction our society is heading due to the so called “culture wars” specifically brought about by the rise of Marxism and the advance of the sexual revolution starting in the 1960s, and alarmingly picking up speed in the present era with the widespread and increasingly forceful imposition of the homosexual and transgender and Marxist education agenda.
Much of the essence of the battle for marriage and schools in our society, I believe, boils down to man’s ongoing war against God, human rebellion against the authority of God. It is not new. Man has been rebelling against God since Adam. The consequences for choosing to follow man’s ways instead of God’s ways are still the same too.
The Threat to our Nation from the rise of the Rainbowism Movement:
The media, education departments and their homosexual movement have marketed their movement so well that they have made sinfulness to be extremely fashionable today. When I was a boy the media made an illness called “anorexia” out to be fashionable, so as to help those people who were anorexic not to feel so bad. This movement ended up making anorexia so fashionable that young people in droves purposefully became anorexic. Many lives were destroyed by it.
So today, with all the gay, transgender, gender fluid movement, in their efforts to make a small number of people feel normal and included, this movement are causing children incredible harm by leading many to question their sexuality, gender. It is child abuse and has gone too far.
God’s Way NOT Man’s Way is best:
So let’s spend some time looking at things from God’s perspective.
Creation mandate and sin: Genesis 1&2 and then 3.
“So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” (Genesis 1:27-28)
“And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”
The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” (Genesis 2:16-18)
So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.”
That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.
Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.” (Genesis 2:21-25)
As well as Scripture, revelation from God, biology and common sense also tell us that men and women are made for each other. They complement each other, physically and emotionally. They are needed to come together in marriage for life, to have sex within marriage and to make babies. Without this the human race does not fulfil its creation mandate to fill the earth.
That is why Satan has always sought to attack marriage and family.
Genesis 3 describes what happened next and as we know it was the start of man’s demise, the introduction of sin, brokenness and death. Separation from God and enmity toward Him. We also know that Jesus is the only solution to this. He reconciles us to God through His death on the cross and we are no longer enemies but are His children again.
But those who do not know God are still very much at enmity and at war with God. They are very lost. Very broken. Very lonely, empty and restless. Only Jesus can heal them. They need God’s love and mercy.
Life is not so complex. God makes things simple. Boys grow into men. Girls grow into women. Men and women get married and have children. This is what is best for men and women and children. Best for society. The fall, sin, contaminates this. Only Jesus can heal this.
This Rainbowist war is just a current manifestation of this rebellion against God. It is a very nasty one though and seems to be getting worse quickly, which is why we are having this discussion.
Some Bible Readings:
"Jesus is the Messiah of the Old Testament which makes it clear that the sin in Sodom & Gomorrah (Gen 19:1-29) was rampant homosexual immorality. Deviant, immoral, sicko, anti-God men even forcing themselves, imposing their sin on society just as the deceptive rainbow movement is doing on society in Australia and the West today, through government, music videos, movies, music, media, education programs and even mass marketing it through company’s advertising campaigns for their products on billboards, TV ads, airplanes, social media ads."
God makes it clear that He is against sexual immorality and that people who are actively involved in such acts, and He singles out homosexual behaviour specifically, will be unable to enter heaven.“
Consequences:
All bad behaviour has bad consequences. It always has and always will, no matter how loudly the mob say otherwise. Governments are not perfect and sometimes make very bad decisions, such as divorce laws, the abortion laws. Now they are after marriage laws.
Health, STDs, Epidemics, AIDS, potential plagues coming.
The whole lifestyle of homosexual people is like a sewer. Drug use, night clubs, alcohol abuse, broken relationships, depression, high suicide rates, and much death. Living life in ways we were not designed to do only leads to brokenness, sickness, corruption, depression and finally death.
They live a lie constantly. When you tell yourself lies and pretend they are truth it affects your mind. You will become mentally sick. You become mentally unbalanced. Therefore we are heading toward a major mental health crisis.
These consequences are not being taught in the deceptively named “Safe Schools” programs, but need to be.
Many diseases, plagues and serious health issues have proceeded to wreak havoc on societies throughout the world, throughout human history, due to sexual immorality, unhealthy living, unnatural living, faeces contaminated handling of food and unnatural sexual activity.
Plagues, AIDS, and other sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhoea, syphilis, hepatitis A, cancers in mouths, private parts, etc. etc. have all caused mass destruction and societies have to share the costs to the health systems.
We see the consequences of the modern homosexual created plague called AIDS throughout the world still today in 2017. The media do not discuss this anymore, but the truth is that homosexual activity caused the AIDS plague and millions of children (especially) suffer because of it, due to losing one or both parents.
The Red Cross Blood Service in Australia and FDA and CDC (Centre for Disease Control) in US ban all blood donations from homosexual people. This is because of blood contamination with diseases associated with their sexual activities.
The way things are going we run the risk of even new plagues and epidemics growing in their ferocity, and frighteningly, of new super infections coming into being and causing havoc. There is already a new gonorrhoea infection which cannot be treated by anti-biotics sweeping homosexual communities in the USA and destroying thousands of lives.
There is no such thing as individual freedom to do whatever they like when we all live in a global community and pay the price for wrong living. We all pay the costs in higher health care, clogged up ambulance services, congested hospitals.
Main consequence: They are at war with God. They need to be convicted of their unsafe path and direction before they can see their need to change course. Affirming, promoting, normalizing and celebrating their position will only encourage them to stay on their wrong path and more boldly run toward their destruction. That is not a loving Christian response.
Same-sex marriage- Deceptive, Dangerous and Dishonest:
Homosexuality is a soul and body degrading, destructive, debilitating sexual behaviour. It is not a skin colour, not a race or cultural thing to be accepted. Yet same-sex “marriage” and LGBTIQ “rights” have been successfully positioned as one of the main “civil rights” issue of our day.
Many of the young generation of our nation have been completely hoodwinked into believing that fighting for same-sex “marriage” is a worthy, fashionable cause they can fight for and champion, and that it is like fighting things like slavery or apartheid. They claim it is a “human right”.
But human rights only come from God, and He says this is dangerous, abhorrent, and will lead people to eternal death. Who is right?
This situation where younger people especially think same-sex “marriage” is okay, has come about due to numerous factors among which include the use of mass media by infiltrated institutions including, but not least, Hollywood movie production companies, (especially Disney), music video producers, musicians, MTV, education departments, and now large companies etc. etc. who have been promoting this depravity for years now.
Due to this mass marketing over many years the culture now generally seems to believe that even marriage can now be between two people of the same sex. The advertising and media flooding has made it “fashionable” and popular.
They have been very clever with this marketing. It is all very dishonest and deceptive, though successful. They have especially targeted children with the school’s programs such as Safe Schools. They made deceptive but clever slogans such as “Born this way” and “Love is Love”. Nonsense, but widely believed by the masses today.
As an aside, these adults involved in this movement are and will be found guilty one day of child sexual grooming. If not in this life, then most certainly on Judgement day when they will be held eternally accountable.
So, man says man can now change marriage laws, but God, the founder of marriage says any sinful relationship will keep those people out of heaven. Changing the marriage law will not change God’s truth.
Mob propelled movements throughout human history have always been able to move bad, dangerous ideas forward, for a time at least. I believe this gay movement is no different. Marriage is marriage and no amount of fashionable, clever, mass marketing can change that. Man and man is simply not marriage. Even in Sodom and Gomorrah or the height of the Roman sexual immorality they didn’t try to call it marriage.
Marriage – God’s Invention for the good of mankind:
Jesus made it clear what marriage is: “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at 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 no one separate.” (Matthew 19:4-6).
“Marriage should be honoured by all, and the marriage bed kept pure.” (Hebrews 13:4).
Any sex that stays outside of marriage and all sex that strays outside of marriage is described by God as sexual immorality. God makes a big deal of adultery in the Bible. To commit adultery is to destroy God’s foundational unit for society. To have a law enshrining adultery clashes with God’s law and will create social havoc.
I believe any interference with marriage, from within or from outside, any separating of a husband and a wife by turning their affections away from their marriage partner, is adultery, something the world mocks, but something which God hates (because of the damage it causes for all involved and society).
One of my driving concerns in this war on children, marriage and family is for the way children are so painfully impacted by adultery, divorce, and the undermining of traditional marriage and the gender wars on truth.
We will never go wrong simply speaking up for the view put forward by the founder of marriage, God. That is where the true heroes of this generation will be formed.
What is a Christian to do? We are called to love our fellow humans. Is it loving to encourage or affirm people on their journey to hell?
Watching TV shows. Like Modern Family, movies, music videos etc. which promote the homosexual movement should not be encouraged. God wants His people to be holy, not to contaminate our minds with such sinfulness.
Like Lot, we should run from all filthiness, not watch it. Keep sin from your eyes. Don’t let it into your mind. We are told that it is better for us to pluck out an eye rather than to look upon sinful things.
Be holy… Be pure… Choose holiness and purity not the depravity of a fallen world at war with God. Honour God and He will honour you.
Nothing to fear from this.
Solomon tells us in Ecclesiastes that there is nothing new under the sun. These times of extreme sexual immorality and depravity have engulfed societies before. Sodom and Gomorrah is the obvious example from history, but also the height of the Roman Empire saw similar depravity too. The end of both of those civilizations was not far away for them because of the depravity. God will not be mocked. Disobedience is ALWAYS accompanied by curses and destruction and death.
Warning to Young People:
We live in dangerous times for young people. So, beware of people who even want to talk to you about sex, or anything related to sex. They do not have authority to do so and are most often doing so out of wrong and dangerous motives.
If anyone starts to talk to you about sex, even if they are doing so in the pretence of it being a Bible study, please walk away from them. Just say you do not feel comfortable with what they are doing and leave as quickly as you can.
Do not trust that person again and be on guard. It may even be someone you know and trust. At school, at church, at a sporting event. At youth group. At camp. It may be an adult, or it may be another young person. Child to child as well as adult to child sexual abuse is becoming more dangerous because of this Rainbowist confusion and war.
Do not let anyone try to touch you. It may start as a simple touch of the hand or knee or arm. It may be a spoken approach. Run from this. It is most evil in intent and illegal and immoral and your whole life may be in extreme danger.
If ever you are in such a situation, it is important to tell someone trustworthy, otherwise this person will try it on someone else, your brother, your friend, some other young person and hurt them, potentially destroying their lives.
You can tell this anonymously and privately so that people will not have to know it came from you. It can be done with a simple note you could write without your name on it, which you can quietly leave on your parent’s desk or on your teacher’s desk. Your speaking up will protect others.
Conclusion:
"Compromise where you can, but where you can’t, don't. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move. It is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye and say, NO, you move." (From Captain America-Civil War)
We will never go wrong simply speaking up for the view put forward by the founder of marriage, God. That is where the true heroes of this generation will be formed. This is where you will have opportunities to be true friends to your friends. True examples to those around you. True light in a dark world. True salt for a rotting world.
So be strong. Don’t compromise. Speak the truth. Be brave and bold. God will be with you, and you will stand and prosper.
Heroes of Your Generation could well benefit from memorizing the following Bible phrases:
We do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with have the power to demolish strongholds ✦ For our war is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil ✦ It is God who arms me with strength. He is the God who avenges me…who saves me from my enemies ✦ Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified or discouraged, for the Lord Your God will be with you wherever you go ✦ Do not be afraid of them for the Lord Your God himself will fight for you ✦ Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. ✦ The Lord is my strength, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer, my shield, my stronghold ✦ No weapon forged against you will prosper and you will refute every tongue that accuses you — this is the heritage of the Lord’s servants ✦ For the battle is the Lord’s ✦ Therefore, put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground ✦ And in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us.
Bible Passages to Read:
Genesis 19:1-29
Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed
“The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.”
“No,” they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.”
But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”
Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”
“Get out of our way,” they replied. “This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.
But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door.
The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the Lord against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.”
So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the Lord is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.
With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.”
When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the Lord was merciful to them. As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!”
But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.”
He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.)
By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord. He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.
So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.”
2 Peter 2:5-9
5 if he (God) did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; 6 if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 7 and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless 8 (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— 9 if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.” (2 Peter 2:5-9)
“Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.” (Lev. 18:22)
“Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men… will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Cor. 6:9-11)
“The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself?” (1 Cor. 6:13-15)
“Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.” (Romans 1:27-32)
“For the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, …and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine.” (1 Tim. 1:10)
"For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure…has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience (Eph 5:3–6).
“Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord[a] at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.” (Jude 5-7)
On Marriage:
“But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘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 no one separate.” (Mark 10:6-9)
“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at 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 no one separate.” (Matthew 19:4-6).
“Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.”
That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:22-24)
Marriage – God’s Invention for the good of mankind:
Jesus made it clear what marriage is: “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at 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 no one separate.” (Matthew 19:4-6).
“Marriage should be honoured by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.” (Hebrews 13:4)
Any sexual activity/behaviour that stays outside of marriage and all sex that strays outside of marriage is described by God as sexual immorality. God makes a big deal of adultery in the Bible. To commit adultery is to destroy God’s foundational unit for society. To have a law enshrining adultery clashes with God’s law and will create havoc.

God’s Way NOT Man’s Way is best:
So let’s spend some time looking at things from God’s perspective.
Creation mandate and sin: Genesis 1&2 and then 3.
“So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” (Genesis 1:27-28)
“And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”
The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” (Genesis 2:16-18)
So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.”
That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.
Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.” (Genesis 2:21-25)
As well as Scripture, revelation from God, biology and common sense also tell us that men and women are made for each other. They complement each other, physically and emotionally. They are needed to come together in marriage for life, to have sex within marriage and to make babies. Without this the human race does not fulfil its creation mandate to fill the earth.
That is why Satan has always sought to attack marriage and family.
Genesis 3 describes what happened next and as we know it was the start of man’s demise, the introduction of sin, brokenness and death. Separation from God and enmity toward Him. We also know that Jesus is the only solution to this. He reconciles us to God through His death on the cross and we are no longer enemies but are His children again.
But those who do not know God are still very much at enmity and at war with God. They are very lost. Very broken. Very lonely, empty and restless. Only Jesus can heal them. They need God’s love and mercy.
Life is not so complex. God makes things simple. Boys grow into men. Girls grow into women. Men and women get married and have children. This is what is best for men and women and children. Best for society. The fall, sin, contaminates this. Only Jesus can heal this.
This Rainbowist war is just a current manifestation of this rebellion against God. It is a very nasty one though and seems to be getting worse quickly, which is why we are having this discussion.
Some Bible Readings:
"Jesus is the Messiah of the Old Testament which makes it clear that the sin in Sodom & Gomorrah (Gen 19:1-29) was rampant homosexual immorality. Deviant, immoral, sicko, anti-God men even forcing themselves, imposing their sin on society just as the deceptive rainbow movement is doing on society in Australia and the West today, through government, music videos, movies, music, media, education programs and even mass marketing it through company’s advertising campaigns for their products on billboards, TV ads, airplanes, social media ads."
God makes it clear that He is against sexual immorality and that people who are actively involved in such acts, and He singles out homosexual behaviour specifically, will be unable to enter heaven.“
Consequences:
All bad behaviour has bad consequences. It always has and always will, no matter how loudly the mob say otherwise. Governments are not perfect and sometimes make very bad decisions, such as divorce laws, the abortion laws. Now they are after marriage laws.
Health, STDs, Epidemics, AIDS, potential plagues coming.
The whole lifestyle of homosexual people is like a sewer. Drug use, night clubs, alcohol abuse, broken relationships, depression, high suicide rates, and much death. Living life in ways we were not designed to do only leads to brokenness, sickness, corruption, depression and finally death.
They live a lie constantly. When you tell yourself lies and pretend they are truth it affects your mind. You will become mentally sick. You become mentally unbalanced. Therefore we are heading toward a major mental health crisis.
These consequences are not being taught in the deceptively named “Safe Schools” programs, but need to be.
Many diseases, plagues and serious health issues have proceeded to wreak havoc on societies throughout the world, throughout human history, due to sexual immorality, unhealthy living, unnatural living, faeces contaminated handling of food and unnatural sexual activity.
Plagues, AIDS, and other sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhoea, syphilis, hepatitis A, cancers in mouths, private parts, etc. etc. have all caused mass destruction and societies have to share the costs to the health systems.
We see the consequences of the modern homosexual created plague called AIDS throughout the world still today in 2017. The media do not discuss this anymore, but the truth is that homosexual activity caused the AIDS plague and millions of children (especially) suffer because of it, due to losing one or both parents.
The Red Cross Blood Service in Australia and FDA and CDC (Centre for Disease Control) in US ban all blood donations from homosexual people. This is because of blood contamination with diseases associated with their sexual activities.
The way things are going we run the risk of even new plagues and epidemics growing in their ferocity, and frighteningly, of new super infections coming into being and causing havoc. There is already a new gonorrhoea infection which cannot be treated by anti-biotics sweeping homosexual communities in the USA and destroying thousands of lives.
There is no such thing as individual freedom to do whatever they like when we all live in a global community and pay the price for wrong living. We all pay the costs in higher health care, clogged up ambulance services, congested hospitals.
Main consequence: They are at war with God. They need to be convicted of their unsafe path and direction before they can see their need to change course. Affirming, promoting, normalizing and celebrating their position will only encourage them to stay on their wrong path and more boldly run toward their destruction. That is not a loving Christian response.
Same-sex marriage- Deceptive, Dangerous and Dishonest:
Homosexuality is a soul and body degrading, destructive, debilitating sexual behaviour. It is not a skin colour, not a race or cultural thing to be accepted. Yet same-sex “marriage” and LGBTIQ “rights” have been successfully positioned as one of the main “civil rights” issue of our day.
Many of the young generation of our nation have been completely hoodwinked into believing that fighting for same-sex “marriage” is a worthy, fashionable cause they can fight for and champion, and that it is like fighting things like slavery or apartheid. They claim it is a “human right”.
But human rights only come from God, and He says this is dangerous, abhorrent, and will lead people to eternal death. Who is right?
This situation where younger people especially think same-sex “marriage” is okay, has come about due to numerous factors among which include the use of mass media by infiltrated institutions including, but not least, Hollywood movie production companies, (especially Disney), music video producers, musicians, MTV, education departments, and now large companies etc. etc. who have been promoting this depravity for years now.
Due to this mass marketing over many years the culture now generally seems to believe that even marriage can now be between two people of the same sex. The advertising and media flooding has made it “fashionable” and popular.
They have been very clever with this marketing. It is all very dishonest and deceptive, though successful. They have especially targeted children with the school’s programs such as Safe Schools. They made deceptive but clever slogans such as “Born this way” and “Love is Love”. Nonsense, but widely believed by the masses today.
As an aside, these adults involved in this movement are and will be found guilty one day of child sexual grooming. If not in this life, then most certainly on Judgement day when they will be held eternally accountable.
So, man says man can now change marriage laws, but God, the founder of marriage says any sinful relationship will keep those people out of heaven. Changing the marriage law will not change God’s truth.
Mob propelled movements throughout human history have always been able to move bad, dangerous ideas forward, for a time at least. I believe this gay movement is no different. Marriage is marriage and no amount of fashionable, clever, mass marketing can change that. Man and man is simply not marriage. Even in Sodom and Gomorrah or the height of the Roman sexual immorality they didn’t try to call it marriage.
Marriage – God’s Invention for the good of mankind:
Jesus made it clear what marriage is: “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at 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 no one separate.” (Matthew 19:4-6).
“Marriage should be honoured by all, and the marriage bed kept pure.” (Hebrews 13:4).
Any sex that stays outside of marriage and all sex that strays outside of marriage is described by God as sexual immorality. God makes a big deal of adultery in the Bible. To commit adultery is to destroy God’s foundational unit for society. To have a law enshrining adultery clashes with God’s law and will create social havoc.
I believe any interference with marriage, from within or from outside, any separating of a husband and a wife by turning their affections away from their marriage partner, is adultery, something the world mocks, but something which God hates (because of the damage it causes for all involved and society).
One of my driving concerns in this war on children, marriage and family is for the way children are so painfully impacted by adultery, divorce, and the undermining of traditional marriage and the gender wars on truth.
We will never go wrong simply speaking up for the view put forward by the founder of marriage, God. That is where the true heroes of this generation will be formed.
What is a Christian to do? We are called to love our fellow humans. Is it loving to encourage or affirm people on their journey to hell?
Watching TV shows. Like Modern Family, movies, music videos etc. which promote the homosexual movement should not be encouraged. God wants His people to be holy, not to contaminate our minds with such sinfulness.
Like Lot, we should run from all filthiness, not watch it. Keep sin from your eyes. Don’t let it into your mind. We are told that it is better for us to pluck out an eye rather than to look upon sinful things.
Be holy… Be pure… Choose holiness and purity not the depravity of a fallen world at war with God. Honour God and He will honour you.
Nothing to fear from this.
Solomon tells us in Ecclesiastes that there is nothing new under the sun. These times of extreme sexual immorality and depravity have engulfed societies before. Sodom and Gomorrah is the obvious example from history, but also the height of the Roman Empire saw similar depravity too. The end of both of those civilizations was not far away for them because of the depravity. God will not be mocked. Disobedience is ALWAYS accompanied by curses and destruction and death.
Warning to Young People:
We live in dangerous times for young people. So, beware of people who even want to talk to you about sex, or anything related to sex. They do not have authority to do so and are most often doing so out of wrong and dangerous motives.
If anyone starts to talk to you about sex, even if they are doing so in the pretence of it being a Bible study, please walk away from them. Just say you do not feel comfortable with what they are doing and leave as quickly as you can.
Do not trust that person again and be on guard. It may even be someone you know and trust. At school, at church, at a sporting event. At youth group. At camp. It may be an adult, or it may be another young person. Child to child as well as adult to child sexual abuse is becoming more dangerous because of this Rainbowist confusion and war.
Do not let anyone try to touch you. It may start as a simple touch of the hand or knee or arm. It may be a spoken approach. Run from this. It is most evil in intent and illegal and immoral and your whole life may be in extreme danger.
If ever you are in such a situation, it is important to tell someone trustworthy, otherwise this person will try it on someone else, your brother, your friend, some other young person and hurt them, potentially destroying their lives.
You can tell this anonymously and privately so that people will not have to know it came from you. It can be done with a simple note you could write without your name on it, which you can quietly leave on your parent’s desk or on your teacher’s desk. Your speaking up will protect others.
Conclusion:
"Compromise where you can, but where you can’t, don't. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move. It is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye and say, NO, you move." (From Captain America-Civil War)
We will never go wrong simply speaking up for the view put forward by the founder of marriage, God. That is where the true heroes of this generation will be formed. This is where you will have opportunities to be true friends to your friends. True examples to those around you. True light in a dark world. True salt for a rotting world.
So be strong. Don’t compromise. Speak the truth. Be brave and bold. God will be with you, and you will stand and prosper.
Heroes of Your Generation could well benefit from memorizing the following Bible phrases:
We do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with have the power to demolish strongholds ✦ For our war is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil ✦ It is God who arms me with strength. He is the God who avenges me…who saves me from my enemies ✦ Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified or discouraged, for the Lord Your God will be with you wherever you go ✦ Do not be afraid of them for the Lord Your God himself will fight for you ✦ Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. ✦ The Lord is my strength, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer, my shield, my stronghold ✦ No weapon forged against you will prosper and you will refute every tongue that accuses you — this is the heritage of the Lord’s servants ✦ For the battle is the Lord’s ✦ Therefore, put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground ✦ And in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us.
Bible Passages to Read:
Genesis 19:1-29
Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed
“The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.”
“No,” they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.”
But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”
Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”
“Get out of our way,” they replied. “This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.
But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door.
The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the Lord against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.”
So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the Lord is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.
With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.”
When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the Lord was merciful to them. As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!”
But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.”
He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.)
By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord. He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.
So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.”
2 Peter 2:5-9
5 if he (God) did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; 6 if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 7 and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless 8 (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— 9 if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.” (2 Peter 2:5-9)
“Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.” (Lev. 18:22)
“Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men… will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Cor. 6:9-11)
“The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself?” (1 Cor. 6:13-15)
“Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.” (Romans 1:27-32)
“For the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, …and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine.” (1 Tim. 1:10)
"For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure…has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience (Eph 5:3–6).
“Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord[a] at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.” (Jude 5-7)
On Marriage:
“But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘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 no one separate.” (Mark 10:6-9)
“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at 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 no one separate.” (Matthew 19:4-6).
“Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.”
That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:22-24)

“Marriage should be honoured by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.” (Hebrews 13:4)
