General Douglas McArthur said: History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into economic and political decline. There has neither been a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse, or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster.”
To those that have eyes to see the signs and ears to hear, there is no doubt that America continues it moral decline. There are times in history where people seem to be so deceived and brainwashed that they lose their moral compass. Sodom & Gomorrah is upon us (Gen. 19:24) and the great master Yahshua the Messiah said that wickedness would abound to the point that the love of many would wax cold (Mt. 24:12)
"Why won’t people speak against evil?"
In this situation the consensus of the nation is that people are unable and afraid to speak out against evil and moral degradation. Isaiah wrote that there would be a time that mankind’s reasoning would be so twisted that they would call evil good and good evil (Isa. 5:9).
This meant these nations would have accepted certain ideas that defy common sense, moral decency, and the laws of Yahweh. (Lev. 18:22-23).
For example, no one needs a Bible to know that sodomy is wrong. Although this was a common practice among the Gentiles in their worship of their deities such as Ashtaroth, and the Greek Astarte, Israel was forbidden to engage in this practice.
"Should homosexual marriages allowed?"
On both coasts of America, in Boston and San Francisco, homosexual marriages are taking place. Elected officials who were sworn into office to obey the laws of the land are disobeying the law of Yahweh by marrying people of the same sex. These officials are pandering to homosexual partners who want to normalize their life style. Homosexuals not only want rights as married couples, but they want their relationships considered acceptable behavior or an alternative life choice.
Recently, the Massachusetts State Supreme Court stated that a new law was unconstitutional, because the State Senate could only grant same sexes a “civil union” rather than a “civil marriage.”
Isaiah the prophet wrote, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, that the wine or dogmas of Babylon has driven nations mad (Jer. 51: 7). Clearly, the courts of the states and the Federal courts have misinterpreted the US Constitution; just as many theologians have misinterpreted the scriptures.
"Was the constitution intended to condone homosexuality?"
The civil rights of individuals, as laid down in the Constitution, were never intended to deal with someone’s “private behavior,” such as sexual preferences. The Constitution is a document that limits the role of government in our lives. Specific provisions of the Constitution protect the rights of the individual from interference by the federal and state governments. Now many Americans not knowing the purpose of Constitution nor the Bible have been brainwashed to believe that homosexuality is a civil right.
Dr. John Coleman, author of more that 1,500 papers and former British intelligent agent who has become an America citizen, wrote in his World In Review newsletter Jan/Feb 2004 the following about the bogus rights of homosexuals granted in the US Constitution. “There is no such thing in the Constitution, no such power granting homosexual behavior a special status deserving of “rights.” It just does not exist. We repeat: When a power sought is not in the Constitution nor is it expressly implied, then the power sought cannot be taken. The majority does not know the US Constitution. By his [the mayor of San Francisco’s] definition of “rights,” his officials have the right to marry children, because if they did not have such right, it would amount to discrimination against them!”
As we have today, many homosexuals and others are reading into the US Constitution rights that are not there and their twisted views make a mockery of a quintessential instrument or model of government and individual rights.
Is the New Covenant also being abused?
The Apostle Peter spoke of these types of abuses of the New Covenant, which saved all by grace through faith (Eph. 2:8-9). He writes: “While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage (2 Peter 2:19).”
Peter said that many would abuse their liberty under the New Covenant and return to all manner of abominations, sin and corruptions claiming they have freedom. We have been made free of sin by the blood of the Yahshua the Messiah.
Does common sense tell us that homosexuality is wrong?
One does not need an exegetical analysis to know that the act of homosexuality or same sex unions are unnatural and unfruitful. The Apostle Paul said in his times that those that perpetrated this deception had been turned over to a reprobate mind. These are minds that have been deceived into believing a lie that has created a delusion, which has become their reality.
Paul writes of this delusion as follows: “Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 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;”
Conclusion
Finally, at the end of an era, age, or great empire, all manner of abominations become a way of life or the norm. These are signs of the end of night or an old order is at its zenith and will pass away with the New Order in righteousness being its replacement (Rev. 21:1-4). As individual rights are being redefined and expanded to include behavior that was never the point of the constitution, the basic family unit is being destroyed and replaced with same sex unions (Adam with Adam and Eve with Eve). The irony is that both of these homosexual structures cannot produce offspring like a mule (the offspring of a horse and ass) is sterile, and would eventually reduce the population.
NOTE: Today homosexual movement in America comes from the Nazi Movement in German before and during World War II.
