Their Tactical Cudgel

The LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender/Transsexual) movement has proved
to be a very smart movement. They have smartly struck and scourged this
generation with their heavy tactical cudgel. The LGBT is a minority movement
(though they try to improve their very small number by adding more groups like
Queer and Questioning, Asexual and Ally to have LBGTQA), but by their impetuous
tirade and anecdotal media campaign have compelled everyone including the
Church to be carried away by their narrow secularist discuss and lose sight of basic
truth. Their masterly oppressive and diversionary tactic has blackmailed, armtwisted and mind-bent the world into succumbing to their self-arrogated status of
sacred cows and despotic judges of the whole earth. What they do to others is philia
and passion but what others do them is phobia and bigotry. What they say is
politically correct but what others say to them is politically incorrect. What they say
to others is defensible but what others say to them is offensive. The LGBT does not
just fight to have their rights but for others to lose theirs. This is nothing but brazen
bullying. Their response to this post will prove this point to be true.
Rooted in hippie countercultural sex revolution, the LGBT has combined the clever
and clandestine use of telecommunication technology, globalised pluralism and civil
liberties to harass and harangue this generation to gain advantageous ascendancy.
They have smartly deployed their locked-in narrow narratives and anecdotal
stereotypes, tyrannical blackmails and aggressive protestations on a scale to which
humanity has never before been subjected from any minority in history.

The Good News

Basic truth is that any human lifestyle, orientation or action is sin to the Christian
only if the Gospel tradition as received from the Apostles who used the Old
Testament and wrote the New Testament Scriptures says such is sinful. The same
Gospel also assures that it is given for every penitent believer to be saved from the
penalty, pollution and power of their sin by the atoning power of Christs Blood and
the enabling power of Christs Grace. This is the Good News of Salvation in Christ.
The world should rejoice that though sin is sinful yet there is hope of escape from its
bondage because Christs Grace has the power to save whosoever believes from
sins bondage. To be sure, sin is sinful not because it is legal or illegal, approved or
disapproved, cultural or uncultured, honourable or dishonourable, natural or
unnatural, normal or abnormal, popular or unpopular, acceptable or unacceptable,
statistically significant or statistically insignificant, passionate or impassionate,

hereditary or nonhereditary, genetic or non-genetic, scientific or unscientific, etc.

Human morals, manners or mentality are considered sinful for the Christian if such
is revealed in the Scriptures to be disobedience to God and displeasing to Him Who
is the Lord of all creation, all spirit and all flesh. And Christ had to die a painful and
unjust death to take us out of such destructive spiritual bondage, both in this life
and in eternity.

Of Sexual Sins
There are so many normal and abnormal sins that are nonsexual and very few
normal and abnormal sins that are sexual. Many, who are involved in sexual sins,
being ignorant of or antagonistic to the calling of the Church in the world, have
contended for the Churchs approval to hallow their impenitence and iniquity.
Fortunately, the Church has no liberty of authority, permission or commission to
inclusively hallow impenitence and approve sins except to lovingly and powerfully
offer salvation from sin for those willing to be saved from their sinful bondage and
be sanctified unto the living God. This ordained role of the Church is fast being
abandoned to the detriment of the human race and the LGBT is undercutting and
blackmailing the Church to abandon this salvific role.
Sexual sinners to which majority of human population belong (such as polygamists,
divorcees, promiscuous, prostitutes, polyandrists, masturbators and the like) had
tried at one time or the other in some context or the other, to canvass for Churchs
approval of their sins on the grounds of culture, nature, passion, legality, popularity,
orientation, etc. What is legal is determined by human legislation and revision, but
what is sinful is determined by Divine revelation beyond human revision. The
Church has always maintained that she has been called and sent into the world NOT
to consolidate and approve sins BUT to bring conversion from sin and salvation from
sin.

Sexual sins involve our innermost and outermost being such that sexual sins are not
only displeasing to God but detrimental to self. It is heartless hatred and wickedness
for a Christian or the Church that knows this divine truth to involve someone in
sexual sin or encourage and lead someone into sexual sins. The world may approve
and pursue their pagan and carnal instincts but Christ the Son of God and our
Redeemer sent His Church to help humanity out of them all by the power of God.
The Church should never abdicate this sublime remedial responsibility whatever the
invectives, blackmails and persecutions.

Of the State and the Church

It is important to understand that every thriving human community is advanced and
preserved through the bicameral instrumentality of temporal and spiritual
authorities. The temporal State is constituted to enforce restraint from crimes and
promote preservation of law and commonly agreed order, whereas the spiritual
Church has been instituted to preach repentance from sin and promote preservation
of sanctity and the divinely revealed truth. To preserve and advance human sanctity
and safety, there must be both balance and separation of the Spiritual role of the
Church and temporal role of the State. Rather than seek to disorder the State
against the Church, LGBT like all other members of the society should seek
protection and safety through the State; and rather than seek to defile the Church,
LGBT like all other members of the society should seek transformation and sanctity
through the Church. The Christian Faith endorses State laws when such human
legislations agree with the Gospel of God but deserves the right of conscientious
objection and freedom of faith when State human legislations negate the divinely
revealed Gospel.
