Bill to lift military gay ban clears Senate hurdle<\/a><\/h2>\n
Reuters\u00a0– Thomas Ferraro<\/a>, Donna Smith<\/a> – \u200e18 December 2010<\/div>\n
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A White House-backed bid to end the ban against gays serving openly in the military cleared an important Senate Republican hurdle on Saturday, advancing a major step toward becoming law.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This was not unexpected.\u00a0 The Obama Administration is determined to take steps to try to placate the homosexual “gay and lesbian” lobby in the USA.\u00a0 It was pretty likely that Sodom and Gomorrah allowed openly practicing homosexuals to be in their military.<\/p>\n

Notice what happened there between three thousand and four thousand years ago:<\/p>\n

24 Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 So He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. (Genesis 19:24-25)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And why did it happen?<\/p>\n

7 as Sodom and Gomorrah<\/strong>, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example<\/strong>, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (Jude 7)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why mention this in the 21st century? Because God turned:<\/p>\n

6\u2026the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes<\/strong>, condemned them to destruction, making them an example<\/strong> to those who afterward would live ungodly (2 Peter 2:6,
\nNKJV)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thus, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah were to serve as an example to those who would live as they did.<\/p>\n

Of course, not everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah were homosexuals as those that strictly practice that could not reproduce.\u00a0 Yet, notice that the destruction that hit their cities destroyed all that were there and notice that something like this is to happen again according to Jesus:<\/p>\n

26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:\u00a0 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.\u00a0 28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;\u00a0 29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. (Luke 17:26-29)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The USA can pretend that increasing “homosexual rights” poses no risk, but the Bible suggests otherwise.<\/p>\n

The following passage, written nearly two thousand years ago, essentially predicts resurgences of homosexuality and explains why this happens:<\/p>\n

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man \u2014 and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.<\/p>\n

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.<\/p>\n

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.<\/p>\n

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.\u00a0 (Romans 1:18-32)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many of those in the top governmental positions in the USA do not wish to retain the word of God in their knowledge and endorse evolution instead of creation as the origin of life, so it is little wonder that increasing societal acceptance of homosexuality is occurring.\u00a0 Also notice that God warned that many would “also approve of those who practice” various forms of sin.\u00a0 This is what more and more US government leaders are doing, and what the majority who voted in the USA Senate did today.<\/p>\n

Keeping the Ten Commandments reflects love.\u00a0 Breaking them and\/or condoning those that do is evil.\u00a0 This should be clear to those who believe the God of the Bible, as should be the coming destruction of the USA.<\/p>\n
