1.
According to scripture, there is a natural and an unnatural type of sexual behavior. Unnatural means ?against nature? or to violate natural law. The book of Romans emphatically and categorically condemns homosexuality. Anyone who denies this fact on the grounds that the Apostle Paul was biased against homosexuality rejects the Bible as a whole. If we can censor any part of the Bible, we must allow censorship in every other part as well. The consequences of such a position would be tantamount to a repudiation of the entire body of scripture.

2.

God?s first human creation involved a male and a female. The woman was created for the man. God?s construct holds enormous implications for humankind in terms of procreation, proper relationships, social order civilization itself. Any opposition to his creation constitutes a challenge to God?s omniscience.

3.

Homosexual behavior does not lead to reproduction. Left alone as a group, homosexuals will become extinct. Even if one rejects the existence of God and the Genesis account of creation, nature itself forces this conclusion. Animals which ought not to procreate, mules for example, are born sterile. Mutants or genetic aberrations in the species often cannot reproduce. The point here is that probable or possible reproduction forms the basis of the sexual relationship. Since two members of the same sex cannot reproduce, it follows that they should not become sexually involved.

4.

Without reproduction, homosexuals must prey upon others to perpetuate themselves. While some may debate this contention on a case-by-case basis, viewed as a group-wide phenomenon, no other option exists.

5.

Two males or two females are not anatomically constructed to naturally accommodate each other sexually. Forced accommodation automatically makes the case that homosexuality perverts the natural creation and natural use of the body.



6.

Society marginalizes homosexuality. The most basic study of the whole of culture reveals that it rests upon the nuclear family. Elaborate rites, ceremonies and societal concepts hinge upon man, woman and child. Examples are birth, dedication, romance, engagement, marriage, motherhood, father as protector of the family, role models, etc. There is no natural place for the homosexual.

7.

The announcement that one is homosexual does not result in great joy. At best, family members may lukewarmly attempt to affirm them or adopt a sense of acceptance. Any celebration is artificial or contrived for the purposes of political correctness, or to make the best of a bad situation. They do not experience genuine joy.

8.

The greatest happiness for any married couple is to present a new baby to the world. This is not sentimental garbage. It is emotionally, psychologically, socially and spiritually fulfilling and rewarding. It has legal, economic and traditional meaning. The homosexual lifestyle precludes such an event.

9.

Any appeal to historical homosexual alliances such as the Greek culture is inoperative as a justification for homosexual behavior because it is fundamentally biased in its inception. The Greeks also practiced pedophilia, slavery and bigamy and embraced other beliefs that we would regard as immoral.

10.

Using the animal kingdom as a defense is unacceptable because animals also behave in ways that humans regard as base or brutal. These include feeding on their young, abandonment and multiple sexual partners.

11.

The word ?homosexuality? has been afforded an unwarranted legitimacy in our language and, hence, in our society. It is a euphemism fashioned for the purpose of ridding the stigma associated with perverted sexual behavior. Formerly, it was referred to as sodomy or sexual perversion.

12.

Homosexual practice is a sin like any other sin. Fornication, adultery, theft, lying and many other sins have never received an acceptable status. Neither should homosexuality. It involves lust, wrong choices, disobedience to scriptural commands, and frequently it leads to an attempt to cover it up or to justify it.

13.

We are created as sexual, not homosexual. To define a person as a homosexual is equal to naming one who commits adultery as an adulterer, one who steals as a thief, and so on. We can do it, but no one appreciates being called an adulterer or a thief because it is pejorative in nature.

14.

If fornication and adultery is a sin against the body, homosexuality is a sin against the body, mind and soul. This is because it perverts natural sexual behavior into something unnatural. The same thing happens in other kinds of sins. Murder that goes beyond basic taking of a life and leads to mutilation or cannibalism is perverted. Fornication that goes beyond the basic sex act to sadism, masochism or even into pedophilia, bestiality or necrophilia is perverted.

15.

The reason homosexuality seems to be an inescapable lifestyle is not because one is born homosexual, but because many types of sins are addicting or enslaving. Chemical and substance abuse illustrate this, but psychological addictions are present in many kinds of sinful activities. The same offender often repeats sex crimes such as rape and child molestation. Does this mean that this person was born a rapist or molester? Is an adulterer or thief born to be this way? No. The reason homosexuals commit their particular sin is that it a) gives them carnal pleasure, b) they were most likely introduced to this kind of sin at an impressionable age, c) they harbor a rebellion or hatred against an authority figure, or d) they lacked some fundamental building blocks of character development as they were growing up.

16.

Let?s examine some common ways homosexuals justify their behavior:




a. ?Do you think I chose to be this way?? Self-motivated, no. Self-determined, yes. There is a personal choice in everything we do, whether is be right or wrong. Sexual orientation can be an extremely complex issue and many things must be considered such a parental relationships, hormonal distribution, experiences, etc. In the final analysis, however, if a person is born with male genitalia, he is a male, period.




b. ?There is nothing wrong with me.? Yes, there is. A male who acts like a female, or treats other males like females is not right. His behavior is the matter in question, not his male anatomy. Besides, anyone who makes this statement is begging the question. He is undergoing serious turmoil regarding his own desires and behavior or he would not adopt his defensive mode.




c. ?I?m just as moral as you are.? Wrong. Homosexuality is inherently immoral. If this person means that he obeys the law, pays his taxes and is a good neighbor, that?s one thing. On the other hand, if he means that morality in civil matters transfers to his perverted sexual practices, it is a non-sequitur. Jeffrey Dahmer was good to his parents, too.




d. ?You are wrong for judging me.? All of us can categorize behavior. While judgment of motive or underlying reasons may not be condoned, actual behavior not only can, but must be judged. In fact, discrimination between kinds of behavior is necessary for society to work.




e. ?I love my partner as much as a man and woman love each other.? Perverted or improper feelings of love are entirely possible, including love for animals, inanimate objects, and another person?s spouse. Such subjective expressions of love are based on feelings, sensations and perceptions. Feelings need not be rooted in truth to be convincing. Many outrageous and criminal acts have been perpetrated by those who felt right and justified in what they did.


17.

Freedom from the sin of homosexuality is the same as it is from any other addicting kind of sin: Repentance, abhorrence of the sin, removal of the evidences of the lifestyle, removal of oneself from the environment where the sin is practiced, cleansing oneself with the Word of god, staying filled with the Spirit of God, frequent periods of intense prayer and fasting, and becoming accountable to a spiritual authority figure. Therapy may also be required to reach a level of understanding about the motivations and circumstances that led to the sin.

18.

Homosexuality is fueled dishonesty concerning the application of God?s laws. Freedom from perverse sins takes brutal honesty. Once a repented homosexual permits deceitfulness to reclaim his mindset, he will fail.

19.

Homosexuality cannot be congenital because to find only one person who is delivered from it would negate the argument. We define deliverance as, a) the lack of inclination to engage in homosexual behavior, and/or b) the refusal to act out homosexual urges because of a higher submission to the will of God. There have been many instances of such deliverances.

20.

As an historical fact, homosexuality was dropped as a disorder from the DSM-III by fiat, induced by pressure from gay rights groups. Unlike other additions or eliminations from this listing, no conclusive proof that warranted this new position has ever been advanced. Therefore, this so-called scientific evaluation was determined by politics rather than research data.

21.

The primary personal definition, identity, motivational force and raison d?etre of a homosexual are embodied in his homosexuality. All other considerations are secondary. While the natural male/female relationship is tempered by corresponding personalities, general life goals and sexual drives, a male/male relationship is dominated by lust and sexual thoughts.

These thoughts and observations are offered as a way to move beyond a visceral reaction against homosexuality that many men possess. We must also ground ourselves in scripture, sound teaching and reasoned arguments. This may not be necessary for our own personal belief system, but if we hope to confront the propagandized minds of the new generation, it is necessary. Much more can be said, of course, but hopefully this represents a start in the right direction.

Ohio Governor Ted Strickland signed an executive order last week that added "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" to the non-discrimination policy for current or potential state employees. One of the state's most well-known pro-family activists says the move was an effort to help homosexual activists lay groundwork for the legislative process.
The order addresses discrimination based on "gender identity" and "actual or perceived" homosexuality. Phil Burress of Citizens for Community Values (CCV) says there are at least two problems with those definitions -- first, there is no definitive test for homosexuality; and secondly, the word "perceived" addresses what people think.
The latter causes Burress to ask: "So we're going to be suing people because of what someone was thinking?"
Those were the kinds of inconsistencies the CCV spokesman says led Strickland's predecessor, Bob Taft, not to renew a similar executive order signed by his predecessor; thereby leaving the policy out of state employment issues for eight years. Until, says Burress, Strickland -- whom he calls a "liberal Democrat governor" -- decided to try and change people's attitudes toward making new state law down the road.
"Really the reason why they're doing this," remarks Burress, "is because they're going to want to introduce legislation in the state of Ohio to make this mandatory even in the private industry."
Burress explains that his organization has been unable to find one case in his state or elsewhere in the United States in which discrimination because of sexual gender or identity in employment-related cases has been proven. For him that makes Governor Strickland's new executive order very suspect.
Burress believes it is likely a move to help homosexual activists, who hope to eventually get a law passed through the state legislature that codifies special rights for them because of their sexual orientation.
"This is really just a stepping stone; this isn't about discrimination," Burress offers. "This is about furthering the homosexual agenda -- and the end result of the agenda, under the stair-step approach to this, is to get people used to thinking about sexual orientation as a minority class."
The pro-family activist claims that is so that some day "they can force their behavior on all of us."

Ohio legislators are on the verge of sending their governor a bill that would set several restrictions on the state's 500-plus sexually-oriented businesses. Those restrictions are designed to reduce crime and detrimental effects pro-family leaders say are associated with their presence in cities and towns.
The Community Defense Act, known as SB 16, has moved from passage in the state Senate and House to reconciliation of the differing chamber versions. It places regulations on businesses including clubs, massage parlors, adult bookstores, theatres, and video stores.
David Miller of Citizens for Community Values (CCV), which has helped push the measure, says the Senate needs to approve House changes to the bill. Those changes, he explains, includes some very positive ones for enforcement of the basic provisions -- so such no touching of nude or semi-nude employees in strip clubs, and closure between midnight and 6 a.m.
Miller says local governments will now get help protecting the state law and their own related local ordinances from legal challenges. If such challenges arise, "then they have protection that's going to be provided, not only in free legal counsel from the attorney general, but defense of those regulations," says the CCV spokesman. According to Miller, that could even include a worse-case scenario -- say, a judgment against the local government for damages. In that case, he explains, "then the state is going to pick that up."
That protection was added, says Miller, because of the traditionally problematic litigation of the sex industry with municipalities, which he points out often discourages those governments from taking strong action.
This time, though, he says the legislators appear determined to help the state overcome that problem. "I think that we have legislators who do understand that communities want some basic protections from the harms of this industry," Miller shares. A Mother's Day poll of 500 Ohioans indicated overwhelming support for such protections.
Associated Press reports there is no indication yet whether Ohio Governor Ted Strickland will sign the bill. Miller is scheduled to meet with an administration policy representative next week.

Last night was Portfolio Night V. Started six years ago by an audacious Costa Rican who had come to Canada to work in the business his father had worked in:  advertising.  In addition to having to navigate a maze of immigration hassles which were ultimately resolved (thankfully), he found it exceedingly difficult to find the information he required for a junior art director to break into an industry he had revered and grown up around his entire life. So he had an idea. Why not provide...

Yes, Roger and I are still alive.  Life took a busy turn for both of us at once, but I should be back to posting regularly now, so be sure to stick around!

 

I'm back today because I just read a brilliant observation by Steve Wagner over on the STR Blog, and I want to direct you all to it.  He's responding to this section of the statement given by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in response to the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the partial birth abortion ban:

 

We have seen a steady erosion of women's reproductive rights in this country. The Supreme Court's action today, though stunning, in many ways isn't surprising given the current culture in which scientific knowledge frequently takes a back seat to subjective opinion....

 

My first response to that statement when I read it last week was to object that we'd better have ethics (what they refer to as "subjective opinion") at the center of our decisions rather than "scientific knowledge," or we'll end up with more atrocities like this one.  But Steve's deeper observation gets right to the core of the ACOG's hidden assumptions and reveals the hypocrisy inherent in their accusation:

 

My simple request: be consistent.  Either put science first or don't.  If you want science to trump subjective opinion?let's let science tell us when the unborn is a human being, okay?  Science's answer is uncontroversial: it's a living, whole organism, of the human species.  You might question the definitions of these terms, but if we know that you are a biological human being, we know the unborn is one too, from the moment she comes into being.

 

That's science.  The ACOG might respond, as many scientists do, "Sure, the unborn is a biological human being, but it's too dependent and undeveloped to be a real human being."  Done with science so soon?  How does any scientist know a certain level of development or independence determine our rights and value?  Philosophical reflection.  They are doing philosophy, which I assume is a synonym in the ACOG lexicon for "subjective opinion."
