Homosexuality's PushBy Steven F. Deaton |

The subtle promotion of homosexuality is gone. It is now an all-out assault on our nation through schools, entertainment, and religions. No longer is there a call to “tolerate” it—which was always a ruse—now we must endorse it to be marked a “homophobe bigot.” Three recent examples highlight the perverted push. Lesbian Bishop The Episcopal Church nominated an “openly lesbian priest for bishop.” (read article). This move further strains the Anglican communion because there are some who still see it as incompatible with Christian teaching; or as the Bible put is sinful (1 Cor. 6:9, 10). Two other points need to be made:
Perverted Painting A street fair in San Francisco is to have a revised painting of “The Last Supper.” Leonardo da Vinci’s painting is merely a figment of his imagination. However, it did show a measure of respect for the Lord and His apostles. The revised painting reportedly depicts scantily clad men and women, presumably homosexuals, attired in bondage gear with sex toys on the table (read article). Though the original was by no means inspired, such as thing as this is blasphemy. Just 50 years ago this was not tolerated in our nation. Our freedom and sense of “rights” has run amuck. Indoctrinating Second Graders In the recent Democrat presidential debate, the issue of teaching second graders about homosexuality came up. The moderator asked the candidates about a book, King & King, that was read to a second-grade class in a Massachusetts elementary school. The candidates endorsed the action and principle; some rather firmly (read article). Homosexuals learned from atheists and radical environmentalists that they way to change a nation is to indoctrinate its children. These humanistic idolaters know that if they can form the attitudes and beliefs of children, then it is only a matter of time before the society is altered. Parents need to work to counter act such evil influences. God instructed parents of the Old Testament to teach their children constantly (Deut. 6:6-9). The duty is no less imperative today (Eph. 6:4). If we expect to turn our nation around and our children to go to heaven, we must teach them the truth, no matter how foolish and backward we look to the world. Homosexuals are pushing their agenda. We must accept it or be condemned. As those who love God and His truth, we must push back. |
