RAINBOW PROMISE & PERVERSION - NYOBS 69.02

RAINBOW PROMISE & PERVERSION

The Rainbow has become the banner of blasphemy waved in the face of God.

First Word

·         The rainbow is one of the natural wonders of the world, it consist of seven colors; red, orange, green, blue, indigo and violet.  -  Seven in scripture is symbolic of completeness, so whatever the rainbow represents; it is complete.

·         The color bands develop when sunlight interacts with the raindrops at angles between 40 and 48 degrees. – When the sunlight hits the rain drops, it is refracted, separates and becomes colors, with the longest wave links producing Blue and the shortest wave links producing Red. The sun must be behind the observer to be able to see it. – Each drop creates only one color, so it takes billions to produce the rainbow. – Since it is dependent on the angle of the sun to the observer, it is impossible to get under it or at either end of it.

·         It has been subject of much myth and mystery; The Chinese say it is the creation of their first emperor Fohi - It is the Belt of the god Iris – It is a footpath between heaven and earth – It is a stairway for angels to bring messages back and forth – It is a bridge between the living and the dead. - There are Leprechauns with a pot of gold at each end. – If you pass beneath it, you will change genders; man to a woman, a woman to man. - (LGBT)

·         Kermit the Frog says “Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide.  So we've been told and some choose to believe it.  I know they're wrong wait and see.  Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.  The lovers, the dreamers and me”.

·         Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz says “Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue and the dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true.”

·         The Sun, moon, stars & rainbow are all SIGNS, but none contain a covenant except the Rainbow. – (However, the “Gospel story” is contained in the Zodiac – NYOBS 19.17 ZODIAC – HOROSCOPES)

Covenants

• What is a Covenant –   People knew what a covenant was; their society was built on people keeping their word, it was their character, their integrity, their loyalty and reputation - It is not just a casual promise or an agreement or a legal notarized contract, but a binding agreement to death and beyond.  - The word covenant is used over 300 times in the Bible.
• Berith:    “Covenant” in Hebrew:  Means cutting; walking between two pieces of animal flesh.
• Diatheke:  “Covenant” in Greek:    A disposition of property. – A testament

·         There were a number of covenants in scripture which I will just briefly touch on, but the main one in this Word study is the first covenant that God made with man after the flood; it was made with Noah and his family with the SIGN of the Rainbow.

·         There were seven Covenants - SEVEN is the number of Completion and Perfection.

1.   Adamic - Adam and Eve with the sign of pain in childbirth – NYOBS 05.34 – BLOOD COVENANT

2.     Noahathian - Noah with the sign of the bow in the sky, a promise of grace.

3.     Abrahamic - Abraham with the sign of circumcision of males – Set apart; a nation of Priest.

4.     Siniatic - Moses with the sign of the Book of the Covenant, commandments & the Sabbath

5.     Levitical - Levites with the sign of the Priesthood.

6.     Davidic - David with the sign of His Oath that his descendants would establish His kingdom

7.     New Covenant - Jesus Christ with the sign of His blood, His body and His resurrection. 

1 The Adamic Covenant – Between God and Satan – cut skins

Gen 3:15-16 - The Sign: Pain in childbirth
¹⁵ I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”
¹⁶  To the woman he said, “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.” (ESV)

 2 The Noahathian Covenant – Between God and Noah

Gen 9:9-11 – The Sign: The Rainbow

9 "I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you

10 and with every living creature that was with you--the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you--every living creature on earth.

11 I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth." NIV

3 The Abrahamic Covenant – Between God and Abraham

Genesis 17:10-11 – The sign: Circumcision
¹⁰ This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
¹¹ You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you. (NIV2011)

                4 Siniatic Covenant – Between God and the nation Israel

Exodus 24:7-8 -The Sign: The Book of the Covenant
⁷ Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it in the hearing of the people. And they said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient.”
⁸ And Moses took the blood and threw it on the people and said, “Behold the blood of the COVENANT that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.” (ESV) 
5 The Levitical Covenant – Between God & Levitical Priesthood

Numbers 25:10-13 - The Sign: The Aaronic Priesthood - Levi

10 The LORD said to Moses,

11 "Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites; for he was as zealous as I am for my honor among them, so that in my zeal I did not put an end to them.

12 Therefore tell him I am making my covenant of peace with him.

13 He and his descendants will have a covenant of a lasting priesthood, because he was zealous for the honor of his God and made atonement for the Israelites." NIV

6 The Davidic Covenant – David & Descendants on the Throne

2 Kings 8:19 - The Sign: –David’s Descendants - The Messiah
¹⁹ But the LORD did not want to destroy Judah, for he had made a covenant with David and promised that his descendants would continue to rule, shining like a lamp forever. (NLT)

2 Sam 23:5-7 – Everlasting Covenant

5 "Is not my house right with God? Has he not made with me an EVERLASTING COVENANT, arranged and secured in every part? Will he not bring to fruition MY SALVATION and grant me my every desire?

6 But evil men are all to be cast aside like thorns, which are not gathered with the hand.

7 Whoever touches thorns uses a tool of iron or the shaft of a spear; they are burned up where they lie." NIV

7 The New Covenant – Between God, Jesus and man

Luke 22:18-20 - The Sign: Christ Blood resurrection & assertion
¹⁸ For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
¹⁹ And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is MY BODY, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
²⁰ And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in MY BLOOD. (ESV)

Jeremiah 31:31 – Days are coming with a New Covenant
³¹ Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah

(ESV)

Side Bar

·         God told Noah to build an Ark larger than what was needed for the animals and after Noah and his family entered inside, the door remained open for seven more days for others to come, but they did not; then God Himself shut the door.

·         The door of the Ark is a picture of Jesus Christ and all who enter through His door will be saved.  His preacher Noah preached for 120 years showing God’s infinite mercy.

·         The Rainbow is a covenant of grace, a symbol of Jesus Christ Himself and in Heaven we will see the Rainbow again around the throne of God and around the head of Christ.

Revelation 4:3 – The Rainbow was around the throne of God
³ And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a RAINBOW that had the appearance of an emerald. (ESV)

Ezekiel 1:26-28 – A rainbow around the Head of Christ
²⁶ And above the expanse over their heads there was the likeness of a throne … And downward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him Like the appearance of the BOW that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. (ESV)

Noah’s Promise Rainbow – The Covenant

·         It seems scripture bears out that the earth was enveloped in a water/vapor canopy that caused the entire world to be in a semi-tropical climate, therefore before the flood of Noah it had never rained on earth.  Ultra-violet rays were filtered out by the canopy causing men to live many hundreds of years.

·         God’s covenant with Noah was different from all the rest, it was NOT bi-lateral in that it was one sided; it was all God who would do the establishing.  It had nothing to do with what man “would do” or “wouldn’t do”, man had nothing to do with it at all; it was unilateral, unconditional and inviolable.  It is universal and applies to all humanity and their successive generations; it is a perpetual everlasting covenant as long as the earth remains.

·         The Word Covenant is spoken SEVEN times in the scripture.  Seven is the Biblical number for completeness; this is a complete covenant that is not only a SIGN, but has a MESSAGE.

·         The message in very precise language is addressed to eight people who represent ALL humanity – In the first seven verses are what WE ARE TO DO; to rule the earth with capital punishment, to reproduce and eat anything we want except for blood. – The next 10 verses are about what HE WILL DO; the covenant. – God cannot change His mind or lie -

·         It is not a spiritual covenant, it is a physical covenant because it is far reaching including every living creature; birds, cattle and every beast.

·         This is a self-imposed covenant; God is not saying we don’t deserve to have the earth destroyed with a flood, He is just saying He won’t do what He just did it again.

·         The sign was not called a Rainbow, it is called A BOW. – The Word Bow in Hebrew is “qeshethin”, the same word used for a “battle bow”.  The Lord is a warrior and his arrows are ready and will go forth as lighting.

·         God the great warrior has hung up his bow in the heavens, as a sign of peace and mercy toward a world of sin; there are now no arrows in the quiver. – The bow is not turned down towards the earth in wrath and anger, but up toward heaven in kindness and mercy – The Bow Color of BLUE represents His judgment on the world with water, with the color RED representing His judgment of the world with fire; the colors in between are symbolic of a period of grace.

·         When He picks the bow up again, the whole universe will be destroyed with arrows of fire.

·         It’s only after a STORM has passed that you can see His Bow hung in the sky.  The world is reminded that we deserve His Holy wrath, His Judgment, His vengeance, but instead we get His patience and His mercy, His grace and His peace.

Genesis 9:1-7 – We are to Rule, Eat, Reproduce and not Murder
¹ And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.
³ Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.
⁴ But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.
⁵ And for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning: from every beast I will require it and from man. From his fellow man I will require a reckoning for the life of man.
⁶ Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.
⁷ And you, BE FRUITFUL and MULTIPLY, increase greatly on the earth and MULTIPLY in it.”

(ESV)

Genesis 9:8-17 – Covenant stated SEVEN times to ALL humanity

⁸ Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him,
⁹ Behold, I establish my COVENANT with you and your offspring after you,
¹⁰ and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark; it is for every beast of the earth.
¹¹ I establish my COVENANT with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
¹² And God said, “THIS IS THE SIGN OF THE COVENANT that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations:
¹³ I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the COVENANT between me and the earth.
¹⁴ When I bring clouds over the earth & the bow is seen in the clouds,
¹⁵ I will remember my COVENANT that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.
¹⁶  When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting COVENANT between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
¹⁷  God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the COVENANT that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”(ESV)

Isaiah 54:9 – I won’t do it again, even though you deserve it
⁹ This is like the days of Noah to me: as I swore that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, and will not rebuke you. (ESV)

Exodus 15:3 – The Lord is a warrior
³ The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name. (NIV2011)

Habakkuk 3:9 – The Lords arrows are ready
⁹ You took the sheath from Your bow; the arrows are ready to be used with an oath. Selah You split the earth with rivers. (HCSB)

Zechariah 9:14 - His arrows will go forth like lightning
¹⁴ Then the LORD will appear over them, and his arrow will go forth like lightning; the Lord GOD will sound the trumpet and will march forth in the whirlwinds of the south. (ESV)

2 Peter 3:7 – Arrows stored up for fire at the day of judgment
⁷  But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. (ESV)

Titus 1:2 - God cannot lie
² in the hope of eternal life that God, who cannot lie, promised before time began. (HCSB)

James 1:17 – God does not change – No variation or turning
¹⁷ Every generous act and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights; with Him there is no variation or shadow cast by turning. (HCSB)

New Age Perverted Rainbow

• The New Age Movement was something that I first became aware of in 1983 when I was handed a copy of a manuscript written by Christian attorney Constance Cumbey which had not yet been published.  I was astounded and began a Word Study on my own titled “Another Gospel”.  Her book would soon come out as “The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow” and it is a guide to the New Age movement like no other. – NYOBS 14.02 – ANOTHER GOSPEL

• There is a section in the Bookstore designated as New Age and I was astounded at the number of groups that came under the umbrella of the Rainbow. 
• The New Age movement holds up the RAINBOW as their banner.  - One of their signs is the “antahkarana”, known as the “RAINBOW BRIDGE” which appears with 7 colors. 

• Some New Age groups:  Children of the Dawn - Church of Scientology - Church Universal and Triumphant – Club of Rome - Custodians of the Plan – Global Mind Link – Global Society – Green Peace - Holistic Movement – Humanistic Movement - Humanistic Psychology - Lucis Trust – New Group of World Servers – Networking the Global Vision -  New Thought - Pacific Institute – People for the American Way - Planet Stewards – Planetary Citizens – Planetary Initiative for the World we Choose – Sierra Club - The Hunger Project – The Order of Christian Mystics - The Sutphen Corporation – Third wave – Third Force - Transpersonal Psychology - Unity in Diversity Council - Warriors of the Rainbow – World Servers for the New Age – World Future Society – World Goodwill – Zero Population Growth and on and on and on.  New Age is not a mythical story, it’s real, and it’s all around us.
• The Enlightened Ones are those that have been chosen to communicate with the Gods in order to provide a “continuity of revelations”.  These groups have been orchestrated by Satan to soften the impact and de-sensitization of the Christian and cause his acceptance of the new world religion.
• Groups of Workers:  Political organizers - educators of the New Age - workers in the field of religion - trained observers – psychologists - scientific servers – financiers – economist - telepathic communicators and magnetic healers.
• Their Goal: To train the minds of men to build towards Spiritual Unity through Diversity. 

a)  To become a “Brotherhood”; A hidden body of “Custodians of the Plan”. 

b)  To respect the teachings of the prophets and sages of all times and cultures.

c)   To be the inner spiritual government of the planet.

d)  To deal with the Anti-Humanistic element. Christians must be liberated and enriched by

      the other paths to God or be eliminated.

• Seven Major Teachings: 

1)  Sin and evil do not exist; peace and love are the ultimate realities

2)  All religions lead to the same goal. – All have equal merit.

3)  The Ancient Wisdom of Babylon is the basis for all truth – not the Bible.

4)  Jesus is not the only Christ or Messiah and is definitely not God. –

5)  God is cosmic, an energy force – He is not personal

6)  Man is God himself – His creative powers need to be awakened

7)  Man can and should receive spiritual instruction from the spirit world.

• Twin Teachings:  There is no Hell - There is no Satan or demons. 
• The law of rebirth – Rebirth is not the same as “Born Again” as one reconciled to God – They teach that Man does not die, but is endlessly reborn till he perfects himself to qualify for Nirvana; endless rest. 
• Membership:  All religions are welcome including Satanist and Witches with the exception of Muslims, Jews and Christians who recognize only one God, the God of Abraham.

John 18:20 – Christ did nothing in secret.

20 "I have spoken openly to the world," Jesus replied. "I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret. NIV

Gal 5:9-10 – It only takes a little worm to rot the whole apple

9 "A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough." NIV

Isa 28:10 – Prove scripture with scripture, precept upon precept

10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: KJV

2 Peter 2:1-2 – There will be false teachers – many will follow

1 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them-bringing swift destruction on themselves.

2 Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. NIV

Hos 4:6 – We are destroyed because we just don’t know.

6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: KJV

2 Peter 2:12 – They blaspheme because they are ignorant.

12 But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish. NIV

LGBT Perverted Rainbow

·         What I am addressing next is not to promote negativity or hate toward the gay community, but only to look at it with a Biblical world view. – In the 50’s and 60’s there was a massive movement to defend homosexuals from discrimination and gay bashing.

·         The sole purposed of “Gay is Good” and the “Gay Pride movement” was to establish Pride in the gay community.  This campaign was to force those who opposed homosexuality to accept it as an alternate way of life and it eventually succeeded even among professing Christians.

·         The Gay Pride flag was created in California with the colors of the rainbow to symbolize the diversity of the LGBT community. -  There are now “Rainbow Flags” and parades called “Marching with the Rainbow”.

·         LGBT roots began in the Gay community in the mid to late 1980’s and became a self-designation initialism that stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender. - To that some add a “Q” for those that identify as Queer, others add “I” for Intersex – Then there is “U” for Unsure and “C” for Curious, “T” for Transvestite, “TS” or “2” for Two Sprit”, “SA” for Straight Allies, “P” for Polyamorous, “H” for HIV-affected and “O” for Other.

·         QUILTBAG is Queer & Questioning, Intersex, Lesbian, Transgender & Two-Spirit, Bisexual, Asexual & Ally, Gay & Genderqueer. – SGL is Same Gender Loving – MSM is Men who have Sex with Men.

·         FABGLITTER and LGBTTQQFAGPBDSM are more and I think you get the point. – So the term LGBT has “sort of” encompassed the diverse community that share the same issues, values and goals. – NYOBS 59.24 – LGBT GOD & ME

·         LGBT Rainbow – Legend says if you pass beneath it, you will change genders; man to a woman, a woman to man. - The message of the rainbow from God to ALL HUMANITY was instructions to rule, eat and REPRODUCE. – Two men or Two women cannot fulfill this command; it flies in the face of God.

The White House

·         The White House celebrated Homosexuality June 26^th 2015, with this statement; “Tonight, the White House was lit to demonstrate our unwavering commitment to progress and equality, here in America and around the world.  The pride colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community, and tonight, theses colors celebrate a new chapter in the history of American Civil Rights.

·         Franklin Graham, President of Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association said ”This is outrageous – a real slap in the face to the millions of Americans who do not support same-sex marriage and whose voice is being ignored”.  The rainbow is actually an image associated with God’s judgment and a sign of  His judgment to come

·         The Bible says that when Christ returns, it will be when He is rejected by this generation and when homosexuality is running unbridled just like in the days of Noah and Lot.  There is an example with lot in Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and brimstone raining down from heaven and so it will be when the son of man is revealed.

·         Facebook carried the MARK of the gay pride colors splashed over the face of folks profile picture reminding us all of the judgment that is to come.

Luke 17:25 – Jesus will be rejected by this generation
²⁵ But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

(ESV)

Luke 17:26-28 – As in the days of Noah & Lot - Homosexuality
²⁶ Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.
²⁷ They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
²⁸ Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building,

(ESV)

Genesis 19:24 - Fire and brimstone
²⁴ Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

(KJV)

Noah Touched God’s Heart

·         In Genesis we find man deep in homosexuality and God said He was sorrowful that he had ever created mankind; that was the basis for the flood. – Noah and his family found favor in the eyes of God and was saved with the Ark. – After the flood Noah built an altar to God and offered sacrifices to Him and it touched God’s heart and that’s when God gave the Rainbow as a promise that He would never destroy the earth again with water.

·         The rainbow is a visual reminder to all of creation that God will not forget His promise, no matter how wicked mankind gets.  That includes murder, abortion, corruption, hate, witch craft and homosexuality including sex with animals. (beastiality) - (He won’t use water, it will be fire)

·         As a Christian our concern for those in the LGBT community is misunderstood.  We are mandated to take a stand (not a soap box) on issues that conflict with the Bible.  - We are just agreeing with what God has already said. - When we inform someone of what God has said in His Word, it is with deep concern for their soul. - NYOBS 04.02 - BEATTITUDES

·         In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus gives SEVEN characteristics of a Christian.  The fourth one is ‘Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted’.

·         Mourning is an acknowledgement of our own sins with a broken heart before God.   It is too deep to conceal. - We weep over perishing souls. – We anguish over sin. – We want right to prevail. – This is Godly sorrow with compassion for injustice, afflictions and sins of others. 

·         Why is the LGBT sin any worse than any another sin?  It’s not; however Christians are trying to NOT walk in sin and those in the LGBT COMMUNITY MAKE NO EFFORT and that’s what is heart breaking.

·         When you read God’s Word; it brings sorrow in your spirit for those who are perishing and DON’T EVEN KNOW IT. - NYOBS 18.05 – SAME SEX MARRIAGE

Genesis 6:5-6 – God regretted that He had made man

⁵ The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
⁶ And the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.

(ESV)

Genesis 8:20-22 – Noah pleased God - Made a covenant
²⁰ Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and took some of every clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
²¹ And when the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, the LORD said in his heart, “I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done.
²² While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.”

(ESV)

Matt 5:4 – The sermon on the Mountain

4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Ps 119:136 – Mourning for sin

136 Streams of tears flow from my eyes, for your law is NOT obeyed.

NIV

Isa 6:5 – Recognizing who I am before God

5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips:

KJV

Luke 16:25 – You will be comforted

25 "But Abraham replied, `Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.

NIV

Isa 61:3 – Mourning replaced with gladness.

3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion--to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness  instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.

NIV

Last Thoughts

• The New Age movement presents Humanism with views that man is the measure of all things – his beginning was from himself - with no knowledge except what he himself can discover – no standard outside of himself - All wisdom is contained within oneself. – NYBOS 15.02 – ANOTHER GOSPEL
• The Deception: The enlightened one, through imaging and visualization can energize and command what they believe is “Deity” spirits to serve and do their bidding - In the end God will send a deluding Spirit to harden their hearts so they will be unable to repent and under their rainbow banner they get what they want.
• Thousands march under the Rainbow flag implying that they are proud of their New Age homogenized Gospel that they follow and others march along waving their sexual immorality flag whether God likes it or not.

·         The Bible has four compelling scriptures that tell us the Will of God concerning the LGBT community. - NYOBS 02.02 – HOMOSEXUALITY

1.   The Law is laid down clearly for those that practice LGBT and accept it as normal.

2.   Two men or two women having sex is an abomination to God and worthy of death.

3.   God will abandon you to your own will and give you what you want. – You will NOT be able to see the error of your ways.

4.   You will NOT inherit the Kingdom of Heaven and You WILL spend eternity in HELL.

·         Many in the LGBT community claim to be Christians and profess a love for God, but they are just Make-Believers.  You cannot CONTINUE to walk in the fire of known sin and not get burned. – As I extend my friendship to those who may be confused about their sexuality, I must at the same time be honest with them about what the Bible teaches.

·         Most folks are not fully aware of the biblical significance of the Gay Rainbow flag nor the New Age flag; that though their ignorance they are provoking God to wrath. - I believe that this “lack of knowledge” is the reason why God is so merciful to them for now.

Please don’t confuse my words of concern with HATE SPEECH,

I just want you in Heaven.

The decisions made on this side of life have eternal consequences – Life is Choice Driven. –

Hosea 4:6 - My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge
⁶ My people are destroyed for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. (ESV)

Deuteronomy 9:7-8 - Provoked the LORD your God to wrath
⁷ Remember and do not forget how you PROVOKED the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day you came out of the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD.
⁸ Even at Horeb you PROVOKED the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was so angry with you that he was ready to destroy you. (ESV)

1 Timothy 1:9-10 – Law laid down for those who Practice LGBT
⁹ understanding this, that THE LAW is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers,
¹⁰ the sexually immoral, men who practice HOMOSEXUALITY, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, (ESV)

Leviticus 18:22 - Two men having SEX is an abomination to God
²² You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.

Leviticus 20:13 – They should be put to DEATH
¹³  If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. (ESV)

Romans 1:18-32 – God gave LGBT what they wanted
¹⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
¹⁹ For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
²⁰ For His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE.
²¹  or although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
²² Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
²³ and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
²⁴ Therefore God GAVE THEM UP in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,
²⁵  because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
²⁶ For this reason GOD GAVE THEM UP to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature;
²⁷ and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
²⁸ And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, GOD GAVE THEM UP to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.
³² Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them. (ESV)

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 – LGBT will not inherit the Kingdom of God
⁹ Or do you not know that the unrighteous WILL NOT inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,
¹⁰ nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. (ESV)

In the multitude of counselors,

there is wisdom.

Proverbs 11:14

I am grateful to those that went before me providing concepts, ideas, historical

information, and scripture verses.  Because of them I can stand on their shoulders

and see further that I otherwise ever could have.
