America, Homosexuality, and Sodom and Gomorrah

And the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him." And the LORD said, "Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous, I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know." And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. And Abraham drew near, and said, "Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" And the LORD said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes."

Genesis 19:17-26 (KJV, emphasis added)."

The Lord promised Abraham and Lot that they would be preserved because of their righteousness. There are many places in scripture where the Lord tells us that if we are righteous, then He will permit us to remain in his Promised Land. If we are not, we will be destroyed. Let's read on in Genesis.

And there came two angels to Sodom at even. Lot sat in the gate of Sodom, and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground. And he said, "Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways." And they said, "Nay; but we will abide in the street all night." And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat. But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, "Where are the men which came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us, that we may know them." And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, And said, "I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man. Let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes. Only unto these men do nothing, for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof." And they said, "Stand back." And they said again, "This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge. Now will we deal worse with thee, than with them." And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

Genesis 19:1-10 (KJV, emphasis added)

The men of Sodom sought these new visitors to Lot's house to have sex with them. Lot begged them not to do this evil because they had come to his house for protection. Then the angels asked Lot about all the members of his household and told them to get out of the city. Lot inquired of the Lord and asked (almost rhetorically) if He would also destroy the righteous along with the wicked. The Lord promised Lot that if he could find even ten righteous men in the city then he would not destroy the city. Lot could not find even ten righteous men in the city. Lot left Sodom with his family, and the Lord destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and brimstone from heaven. So complete was this destruction that today we have only an idea of where these two cities might have been.

Today we live in a Promised Land. America is a place reserved for the righteous and for those who believe in God. As such was it conceived and founded. It is a place set apart where there is freedom of worship; it is a place where the true gospel of Jesus Christ can be taught without fear of reprisal. It is because of the few righteous that America has not yet been destroyed. We must return to God because God will not be mocked. Just as the inhabitants of the Promised Land were conquered and destroyed by the Israelites, so will we be destroyed if we do not obey God's laws.

Homosexualilty is a sin, plain and simple. Gender is part of God's eternal plan; it is not a choice for us to make. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Homosexuality was a sin 5000 years ago and it is still a sin today.

God will not allow us to remain in the Promised Land if we do not keep his commandments. Slowly but surely we are removing Him from every aspect of our lives: our schools, our government, and our personal lives. This must change if we are to survive as God's chosen people in His Promised Land.
