LOVE OR PERVERSION

 

Love is a word spoken many times per day every where and is used correctly, incorrectly and/or twisted to suit the agenda of the one speaking or writing the word. Love is not sin, but used incorrectly it propagates sin. All too often the word is used in a sexual context to justify an act that is wrong and therefore leads to sinful conduct.

Before going further, the word needs to be defined by using an unchangeable standard, God himself. Not only the definition but the word as used by our Creator and directed to his creation.  God’s love was shown to Adam and Eve when he set forth the rules for living a sin free life in his sight. The word love translates the Greek word γαπω (agapao -- pronounced: ag-ap-ah'-o) which means to regard highly and value. It never is used in the Bible in an immoral sense in any manner. That is in keeping with God’s righteousness and holiness and that of Jesus who did no sin (I Peter 2:22). Thus the definition of love based on God never includes by design any harm to anyone. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God’s pure love  resided in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

However, love is used as stated above in all kinds of situations. Michelle Obama said that the justices her husband appointed to the Supreme Court "will protect the right to love whomever we choose." The woman’s statement is in the context of homosexual liaisons which isn’t love in any sense of the Bible message as she uses it. That from a woman whose husband claims he follows Jesus Christ. Yet, he champions homosexuality at each and every opportunity. While on the subject, has Michelle Obama ever said she follows Jesus Christ? Whether she has or not, her use of the word love shows nothing but ignorance regarding the word and its use in the Bible. Homosexuality is close to being enshrined into federal law by Supreme Court Justices who do not honor God’s holy way of life.

Perversion knows no limits and those who pursue it end up making stupid statements which show their ignorance while believing themselves to be intelligent. Read the following carefully to prove the truth of the previous statement. The former chair [Marianne LaFrance] of the Larry Kramer Initiative of Lesbian and Gay Studies at Yale University declared, "Now we're asking not just what causes homosexuality, but also what causes heterosexuality."  It is suggested that the woman read the following verse 24 in Genesis Chapter One. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. God is the cause of heterosexuality which is the answer to her question. As what causes homosexuality, she should read Romans 1:24-32, 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 recompense 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; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 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. God gave the people of that day a choice; they could honor his way or go the way of sin. Verse 32 sums up the acceptance of sin in that day and applies to our age as well. The nut job (aka Barack Hussein Obama and Mrs. Nut Job aka Michelle Obama) surely know the judgment of God, but they continue in the path of unrighteous. What is worse, they not only encourage sinful behavior, but they take pleasure in its doing. Our republic cannot survive if we continue to defy God by traveling the path of immorality. In Sorting It Out, it can be said that the leaders of the republic and his wife have an affinity for perversion; they call it love in an attempt to justify sin.
