Sabbath 29/3/26/120
Dear Friends,
This last week we have seen a number of interesting developments in the world
of religion and sexuality. The British Commonwealth and the United States of
America saw significant movement in the deterioration of its moral structure
and the advancement of aberrant sexual practices under the guise of the advancement
of individual rights.
In the UK an openly homosexual canon was ordained bishop with the blessing of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Archbishop of Sydney promptly retaliated with a general proscription against anyone who condoned the appointment or the practice from entering the Anglican churches of the diocese. Nigeria, which claims the largest Anglican congregation, also condemned the appointment. It appears the Anglican Church is set for a split. Some of their people might say it was about time.
One might ask what is all the fuss about? The Trinitarian church has been ordaining sodomites for centuries, ever since the so-called celibate monastics took over the Roman Catholic Church in the twelfth century. The Reformation saw married clergy reintroduced to the Church of England after the monastic “celibates” had forced them out of the clergy a few centuries earlier. The split with Rome was merely the restoration of part of the independence that The British Isles had before the Synod of Whitby in 664 CE. The Roman Catholics had no control in Britain until Augustine of Canterbury went there in 597 at the invitation of the wife of Ethelbert, king of the Angles, who became a Roman Catholic. He established the sees of York and Canterbury, and also a third see in the west that did not achieve the same pre-eminence.
Why is there not a fuss in the Roman Catholic system, which is packed with self-proclaimed homosexuals or sodomites and plagued by child molesters of recent years? Is it that the problem has just surfaced? By no means! They simply have said one thing and done another. The Pope condemns homosexuality yet refuses to allow bishops to resign when they are exposed in condonation of offences and protection of aberrant clergy. Their bishops murder people in places like Rwanda along with the Anglican bishops and they pretend it hasn’t happened. What are a few aberrant sexual practices among the clergy when the history is considered?
John 23rd (the original one) said that sodomising a young boy was no more sinful than clapping ones hands together. He had a harem of hundreds of nuns and debauched just about everything that moved. He was not alone. In fact it, was popes like he who caused the Reformation among a disgusted populace. These matters are examined in more detail in the papers The Millennium and the Rapture (No. 95) along with the deviations in theology along the way.
We are in a time that is like the story of the emperor’s new clothes. The leaders are poor, pitiable, blind and naked and there is no one with the courage to declare that fact. Everyone is saying how normal and enlightened they are. Critics are labelled homophobic or whatever else they are called and women are leading the push for this new “tolerance.” Some go into Buddhist and Hindu theology where they seek greater acceptance.
Every one attacks the Bible and declares it an uninspired work. Theologians are assisting in the destruction of its credibility and mostly through falsehood and shoddy scholarship. Why is this the case? The answer is that the Bible clearly says that homosexuality is an abomination in the sight of God. A fornicator, whether they are homosexual or heterosexual, will not inherit the kingdom of God. The concept of an age of consent is irrelevant, as fornication is forbidden no matter what age you are. If you have been lying with a woman, then you had better marry her. The term “partner” is a falsehood. If you are not married you have simply taken a concubine for the sake of bearing children. Same sex partners are against the Laws of God, the teachings of the prophets, and of Christ and the apostles, and also Islam. Fornication, no matter with what sex is outlawed by the three monotheist faiths of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Look at the aspect of sexuality in the paper Law and the Seventh Commandment (No. 260). As marriage with the same sex is forbidden, intercourse among the same sex is fornication first and foremost.
How did we get to this point? The real problem started with the Roman Clergy in the monastic orders and the sodomites gathered there. They finally took over the clergy in the twelfth century and banned married clergy and women deacons from that time. The great houses of the church, which housed the families of the clergy and the deacons and deaconesses, were turned into monasteries and abbeys and used to advance the cause of the deviants of the church. Sexual frustration induced through celibacy is a powerful tool. That is not to say that all in the ministry of the celibate systems, either Christian, or Buddhist or Hindu are sexually deviant. Many try very hard but it is far easier to distract a person who is not a family man or woman than it is to disrupt a family in normal relations. Hysteria often accompanies unnatural and enforced abstinence and has done so in the churches of Christianity for centuries.
Paul says clearly in his letter to the Romans that the worship of the creature and the failure to worship the One True God is the cause of the establishment of a reprobate mind. Paul says that in “professing themselves to be wise they became fools and change the image of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man and to birds and four footed beasts and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, Who is blessed forever Amen. For this cause God gave them up to vile affections, for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the women, burned in their lust one towards another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error which was [appropriate]. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient: Being filled with all unrighteous fornication, wickedness, covetousness, malice, full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity, whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but have pleasure in them that do them” (Rom. 1:22-32).
Does this not describe society in the twenty first century of the current era?
It is common now to see court appointed lesbian and homosexual lawyers arguing to split families and divide children simply because the families follow the laws of God. Our nations are being weakened and destroyed because of this deviant mindset. Justice is cast to the ground due to sexual predation in a deviant mentality and it will always be so. This mindset will be removed from the earth at the return of Christ and has nothing to do with the true religion, or the Laws of God, or the Christian Faith.
The Anglican Church is powerless to stop the rot because they have trivialised the Declaration of the Anglican faith on which they were founded. Thus, when they resort to the Law as evidence of the unacceptability of homosexuality, they are attacked within their own system because they do not keep the food laws or others laws, nor keep the Sabbath, and eat filth, and thus are without argument and excuse. The declarations and confessions of the Protestant systems at the Reformation are contained in the paper Distinction in the Law (No. 96).
The Protestant Reformation tried to return the church in England back to the original faith and the commandments of God but failed due to the entrenched Sunday worshipping heretics and Roman Catholic apologists who remained within the system. The great Sabbath debate in England of the late Reformation failed.
The Quartodeciman system also was not reintroduced (See the paper The Quartodeciman Disputes (No. 277)).
The Anglican Church seems ready to split. What future is there? The promise holds out that if they repent and rend their hearts, and turn to the Lord and obey the Law, He will establish their thoughts. They may be able to go back to the beginning and establish the true faith as it was in the early centuries before the Roman Catholic system contaminated it. Once and for all, it can throw off the errors and sin of the centuries and emerge a restored and more pure system.
How will that change progress? The sodomites seem entrenched now and the argument
is about the church property is it not?
The fact is that the established system is about power. It has always been about
power. The church needs to purge itself first of all its leaders and anti-law
apologists. Start from the beginning and restore the faith in the One True God
and in His son Jesus Christ. Purge the system of infant baptism, and Sunday
worship, and Easter and Christmas, and every pagan vestige. For without that
restoration, God will always allow the corruption of the system as we saw in
Romans Chapter 1 above. Paul did not pull the texts out of the air. He was quoting
the laws of God. The last text of the Bible, the book of Revelation, shows that
the elect or saints are those that keep the Commandments of God and the testimony
or faith of Jesus Christ (Rev. 12:17; 14:12). All of us are sinners but we all
have to repent and restore the faith.
“Do you not understand that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God, Do not be deceived: Neither fornicators nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God” (cf. 1 Cor 6:9).
What is so hard to understand about that and on what does Paul base this assertion? It is based on the Law of God, which is Scripture and Scripture cannot be broken. The word for effeminate here is malakos, which refers to a voluptuous person, or catamite, or that which is weak and effeminate (cf. Strong”s Greek Dictionary and Marshall’s Interlinear Greek English New Testament). A catamite is a young male kept for unnatural purposes ca 1593 Oxford Universal Dictionary). The term rendered abusers of themselves with mankind is derived from the Greek arsenokoites (SGD 733) which refers specifically to a Sodomite. The word is derived from two Greek words arsen meaning a male and koite meaning a bed. In this sense it is a male who lies with a male as with a woman (cf. New Thayer’s Greek English Lexicon p. 75). Thus, in this text, both sodomites and catamites are either specifically mentioned or inferred in the term “voluptuous person” which refers to a female or a male. It is made obscure from the very beginning by the homosexuals or bisexuals themselves to justify their own deviance.
Repentance is the renunciation of a sinful practice. It is not enough to say that one is a homosexual and that ones partner is great but it is all right because the partners no longer have sex. That is not repentance of sin. The Bible text says that there shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel (Deut. 23:17). If you are a Christian you are placed under the banner of Israel which nation you are.
Homosexuality is a total rejection of the opposite sex and a corruption of the natural order of the creation and the system of reproduction and government set in train by God.
The entire system has been penetrated and corrupted by deviants. The United States Supreme Court has this last week struck down the laws against homosexuality in the state of Texas. The dissenting judge has slated the decision as an advancement of the so-called Gay Rights lobby in the judiciary and the administration.
Americans are under attack and their own system is working against them. The US system is being totally undermined by Hollywood and the film industry and they do not understand it. The entire system needs to be scrapped and started again.
The entire English-speaking people are about to undergo a revolution. When they go bad, they really go bad and the end result is usually captivity.
That is also why the nation of England and the entire system is corrupting itself with witchcraft and wizardry. They seek condonation for their sin in further evil.
Christ said that in the last days when the son of man is revealed it would be like it was in, or worse than, the days of Sodom and Gomorrah (cf. Lk. 17:29-30). What was the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah? It does not take too many brains to work out that we have called the sin of Sodom Sodomy for centuries. It has always had the same meaning and that is to lie with a man in the same bed as one would with a woman. That is an abomination in the sight of God and it always has been and it always will be. There is no excuse for it and it cannot be condoned. The nation that does it will be punished. The individual who does it will be punished and it is sin. God did not spare the angels who sinned but cast them to the pit of tartaros. He turned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes and thus condemned the sodomites with an overthrow, and made them an example to us all and those thereafter who should live in an ungodly way. He delivered Lot from their evil and reserved all such people to judgment and will do so among the living dead of the last days (2 Peter 2:4-9).
So also Jude 7 shows that Sodom was an example and the destruction of the system was for the sin that they committed therein. God did not spare the angels and He punished the wicked in these examples so that we might learn, and repent, and fear the Lord.
The days are coming that will see a change among our people and the exposure of this sin for what it is. We have prisons full of people corrupted by sodomy and lesbianism, and people corrupting one another in sin. Men rape men and are destroyed in sin. Priests interfere with boys and create a generation of abused abusers who gravitate to the systems that allow or condone it. Satan roars among the people that condone it and destroys people through lack of knowledge.
God said through the prophet Isaiah that Jerusalem is ruined and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord to provoke the eyes of His glory. The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not, for they have rewarded evil unto themselves (Isaiah 3:8-9).
The same situation that existed in Judah at the start of their captivity is now among the English-speaking people. Their faces show their sexual deviance. They are proud of it and declare it publicly, and their leaders condone it for votes. Is God a respecter of persons? If He sent Judah into captivity, will He withhold the rod from Ephraim and Manasseh this time? God says through Jeremiah that He will not leave the nation unpunished and He will correct them in measure but will make a full end of the nations among whom they were scattered (Jer. 30:11). How can Messiah work with a broken tool in the last days? Will he not purge the system of evil? The British Commonwealth and the United States of America are going to be purged with hyssop and cleansed of their iniquity. The false religious system will also be cleaned out of the houses of prayer of that people. The black cassocked priests that squabble among themselves over minor points of the Law when they are in breach of the Commandments will be cleared from the places of worship. Their idols and their icons will be removed in shame.
The attacks on the Christian church will continue now unabated until it is removed and the sheep are torn from the hands of the shepherds of all descriptions.
There is one key and that is to repent and rend the heart and turn to the Lord.
Loving one another is in the laws of God, and not through deviant sexuality.
Shun this evil and put it from us. Clean out our systems that are full of corrupt
and evil people. Sin corrupts the people. Cleanse the priesthood and the judiciary
and the administration. As one is rotten so goes the tree. The political and
administrative system is entirely rotten. The entire house needs to be swept
clean.
