COMPASSIONATE RESCUE OF HOMOSEXUAL VICTIMS

Love and compassion for humanity despite our rebellious fall into damnable depravity and demonic
bondage moved God to send Christ and His saving Gospel. Only Christ truly saves or sets anyone free
from bondage and He alone has the eternally effectual power to transform lives from sinfulness to
godliness and translate souls from darkness to light. Jesus Himself proclaimed this compassionate
love and saving power plainly:
John 3:16-19
(16) "For this is how God loved the world: He gave his unique Son so that everyone who
believes in him might not perish but have eternal life.
(17) For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world
might be saved through him.
(18) Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already
been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God's unique Son.
(19) And this is the basis for judgment: The light has come into the world, but people loved
the darkness more than the light because their actions were evil.”

God’s love for fallen humanity is for our salvation through Christ. This saving love for humanity
should move every believer to minister for the repentance and redemption of all in bondage to sin
and Satan (including fornicators, homosexuals, murderers, liars, deceivers, sorcerers, etc). In
whatever sinful practice or propensity, and whatever self-destructive behaviour or bondage we find
ourselves, believers should labour compassionately for our repentance and reconciliation towards
God through Christ (Act 17:16-17; 2Cor 5:14). Whosoever repents and calls on the Lord in faith shall
be saved (Rom 10:8-13). This is true irrespective of whether such depravity or bondage is by nature
or by nurture, by orientation of by decision. There is guarantee that the GOSPEL OF CHRIST HAS
ETERNAL AND DIVINE POWER TO SAVE AND TRANSFORM WHOSOEVER BELIEVES.
Acts 26:15-18
(15) And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
(16) But arise, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared unto thee, to appoint
thee a minister and a witness both of the things wherein thou hast seen me, and of the
things wherein I will appear unto thee;
(17) delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom I send thee,
(18) to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of
Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among them that
are sanctified by faith in me.

Romans 1:14-16
(14) I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the
unwise.
(15) So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
(16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation
to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

The Bible clearly points out that HOMOSEXUAL RELATION OR UNION IS BIOLOGICALLY UNNATURAL
AND SPIRITUALLY HARMFUL AND MORALLY SINFUL. Nevertheless, Homosexuals should not be hated
or ostracised but require compassionate help through Christ’s Gospel of salvation, through

1
deliverance, intercession and counselling, because their unnatural and inordinate affection is
helplessly twisted
- against their birth and reproduction,
- against survival of the human race and
- against God’s standards revealed in His Word.

Postmodern trends towards promotion of vices of Homosexual “marriage” and Homosexual

militancy are inimical to the future of humanity because its spread with the help of the Mass Media,
traffickers and commercialisation will not only destroy natural and moral values but will also deplete
human society. Since the fall of Adam, our human nature (called THE FLESH in the Scriptures) is
fundamentally demonised, depraved and disobedient (Rom 5:17-19; Eph 2:1-3). Our carnal nature is
prone to FLESHLY LUST which leads to LUSTFUL LIVING. Carnal or fleshly depravity, propensity and
practice are spiritually deadly and damnable.
Galatians 5:16-21
(16) This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
(17) For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are
contrary the one to the other: so that you cannot do the things that you would.
(18) But if you be led of the Spirit, you are not under the law.
(19) Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication,
impurity, licentiousness,
(20) Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strife, jealousy, wrath, selfishness, divisions, heresies,
(21) Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of which I tell you beforehand,
as I have also told you in time past, that they who do such things shall not inherit the
kingdom of God.

Homosexual and other lascivious PROPENSITY, PERSONALITY and PRACTICE are sinful according to
Scriptures. Even our human NATURE is decadent and sinful but Christ has come to graciously
propitiate and pardon our guilt before God, graciously empower us to resist our PROPENSITIES,
renew our PERSONALITIES and reform our PRACTICES unto godly holiness and righteousness (Eph
4:17-24). This is called redemptive SALVATION unto eternal life. Whatever we perceive as our sexual
identity or propensity, the Scriptures is categorical that the sexual practices the Gospel of Christ
approves as natural and moral are:
1. sexual chastity before marriage (1Cor 6:18),
2. exclusive lifelong monogamous marriage (Mark 10:5-12; 1Cor 7:1-5) or
3. sacrificial celibacy for special situations (Matt 19:11-12; 1Cor 7:6-9).

It is not merely the immorally sexual (promiscuous, adulterous, or homosexual) PROPENSITY you
perceive in yourself but how much of that immoral and inordinate sexual propensity you APPROVE,
PROPAGATE and PRACTICE (Rom 1:31-32). Like other sinful worldly lusts and evil carnal works, every
immorally sexual (INSATIABLE natural lust of promiscuous and adulterous, or INORDINATE unnatural
lust of homosexual, incestuous, paedophile and bestial) propensity must never be nurtured in the
heart but be resisted, mortified and put away because these are spiritually dangerous and
destructive to humanity. THIS IS THE MORALITY AND SEXUALITY OF THE NEW HUMANITY IN CHRIST
PREACHED BY THE APOSTLES.
Colossians 3:5-11
(5) Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness,
inordinate affection, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
(6) For which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience:
(7) In which you also once walked, when you lived in them.
(8) But now you also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy talk out of
your mouth.

2
 (9) Lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds;
(10) And have put on the new man, that is renewed in knowledge after the image of him
that created him:
(11) Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian,
Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

GUARDING AGAINST HOMOSEXUAL MOLESTERS, INITIATORS AND INDUCERS

The truth about homosexuality is that Homosexuals are mainly unfortunate victims (of homosexual
molestation, initiation and induction) turned helpless addicts (called orientation by some or
perversion by others); so as is applicable with other behavioural vices, what they need is assistance
to overcome their disorder and addiction, not license to remain in their unnatural condition. This
apparent also applies consistently to new vices and addiction to drugs, to gambling and even to
computer games as humanity encounters them since recent times.
See advice to parents here http://fathersforlife.org/dale/preventi.html

Historical experience all through the ages has always known and shown that Homosexual
“ORIENTATION” is NOT biologically natural or a genetic identity; rather it is mainly a result of
nurtured aberration or disordered addiction and rarely a mental pathology or spiritual perversion.
Homosexual orientation or perversion is actually addiction or disorder resulting from homosexual
predator MOLESTATION, INITIATION and INDUCTION. This is why cultures have always regulated
homosexual practice through laws and cults.
See police advice to boys here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88Y6gdxzC2U

Homosexual MOLESTATION is forced or legalised paedophilic advantage by older homosexuals.

Homosexual INITIATION is done through enticed, forced or legalised visual and actual exposure.
Homosexual INDUCTION is done through beguiling visual and actual exposure.
All these are also associated with problematic parental upbringing during childhood.

Through sexological studies, postmodern Homosexual (Illuminatist) movement knows these long
established facts (confirmed over and over by modern empirical surveys) and so they strategically
embarked on concerted CLANDESTINE molestation, initiation, induction to boost statistics and or
articulated OPEN (mass media, militant and legalised) initiation and induction with reengineering of
social philosophy to boost acceptance.

ANCIENT PAGAN HOMOSEXUALITY

From ancient times, among Jews and Christians who believe the biblical Scriptures, homosexuality
has always been known as one of the abominable and damnable sins (together with other depraved
and lustful perversions like fornication, idolatry, sorcery, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness;
envy, murder, deceit, malignity, etc). Ungodly pagan cultures of the ancient world condoned
indulging in debauchery including homosexual perversion (even in cultic temples) till they were
liberated through the saving power of the Gospel.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11

3
 (9) You know that wicked people will not inherit the kingdom of God, don't you? Stop
deceiving yourselves! Sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes,
homosexuals,
(10) thieves, greedy people, drunks, slanderers, and robbers will not inherit the kingdom of
God.
(11) That is what some of you were! But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were
justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

Amongst those of pagan cultures who are morally depraved and spiritually estranged from God, they
had to some fringe extent indulged in homosexual perversion and even homosexual militancy –
restraining its militant and molesting tendencies through therapy, laws and cults. So it is not a
wonder in these Last Days of hippie retrograde culture and postmodern atheist paganism, that there
is resurgence of homosexual indulgence and militancy that is demanding legalisation of homosexual
licence or “marriage”.

With the current trend, these campaigners for LEGALISATION OF DEPRAVITY will soon pressure us to
approve and legalise drug-addiction, drunkenness, deception, infanticide, cannibalism, murder,
bestiality, adultery, promiscuity, rape, buccaneering, gangsterism and terrorism because these sinful
and evil tendencies are either natural orientations or trendy passions amongst depraved and self-
destructive perverts!!! According to scriptural predictions, such shall be the perilous signs of the last
days:
2 Timothy 3:1-5
(1) This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
(2) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
(3) Without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of
those that are good,
(4) Traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
(5) Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

POSTMODERN PAGAN HOMOSEXUALITY AND THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL

Modern pagans could (as with ancient clandestine and cultic homosexuality) indulge in their sinful
homosexual decadence and other evil perversions (just as murderers, adulterers, drug-addicts,
drunkards and liars have always done); but they must neither compel people to approve their
unnatural and inordinate perversion as if it is natural nor seek legal approval of their antihuman vice
as if it is helpful to humanity. Those who do not have attraction to opposite sex should remain
celibate; they should not take up homosexuality or bestiality as alternative; rather they should
remain celibate or seek help to recover normal heterosexual orientation.

Strategists and militants of postmodern pagan values lobby for every depravity, impropriety and
immorality to be legalised (e.g. legalised abortion and infanticide, legalised homosexual “marriage”
and licence, legalised marijuana and coca usage, legalised terrorism, legalised homo-bestiality,
legalised harlotry, legalised bestiality, legalised paedophilia, legalised ritual coitus, legalised rape,
legalised marijuana, legalised ... etc). These modern legalizers are guilty of the phobia they accuse
any differing opinion of – they intolerantly seek to malign and compel everyone (including God) to
consent to and approve of such pervert absurdities. Unlike people into other vices, POSTMODERN
HOMOSEXUALS MILITANTLY REJECT ANY LOVING RESCUE AND RESIST ANY SAVING DELIVERANCE
TOWARD TRANSFORMATION. Unlike people in other vices, they would hatefully hasten to blackmail
any offer of concerned assistance to help them out of their self-destructive orientation/perversion
by uncharitably branding such kind gestures as hateful phobia or as intolerant bigotry. This militant
attitude complicates discussions and solutions whenever Homosexuality is mentioned.

It is normal for the pagans (whether primitive or postmodern) because of their self-centred
licentiousness and futile-minded rebelliousness (Eph 2:2-4; 4:17-19) to want approval for sinful
mores. Seeing godliness as negation to their hedonist passions, modern paganists have to propagate
a foundational ideology of no biblical authority, no moral standard and no absolute Divinity. This
approach smacks a deluded denial of reality and can never be true even if the whole world held to it,
as they once did before Christ and His Apostle began to put things right. This current move will (take
it or leave it) certainly crumble entirely under God’s wrath and power when the cup is full.
Romans 1:18
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness
of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;”

The Scriptures spoke against homosexual practice in Israel and amongst the Canaanites (Leviticus
18:22-28) and explained that homosexual culture among the Gentiles is the product of futile
mindedness of Gentile debauchery and godlessness which are abominable to the land and damnable
against the people (Romans 1:24-28).
Romans 1:24-28
(24) And so God has given those people over to do the filthy things their hearts desire, and
they do shameful things with each other.
(25) They exchange the truth about God for a lie; they worship and serve what God has
created instead of the Creator himself, who is to be praised forever! Amen.
(26) Because they do this, God has given them over to shameful passions. Even the women
pervert the natural use of their sex by unnatural acts.
(27) In the same way the men give up natural sexual relations with women and burn with
passion for each other. Men do shameful things with each other, and as a result they bring
upon themselves the punishment they deserve for their wrongdoing.
(28) Because those people refuse to keep in mind the true knowledge about God, he has
given them over to corrupted minds, so that they do the things that they should not do.

Since after World Wars II, modern paganists have erroneously without single proof sought to posit
that homosexuality is not a nurtured orientation or spiritual affliction that needs restraint, help and
divine deliverance but is rather a natural identity that needs approval and no remedy. The Scriptures
unequivocally condemned gay practice or gay movements in Sodom (Genesis 19:5-9) and in Israel
(Judges 19:22-23) as ungodly, strange, unnatural, inconvenient and deserving divine displeasure
(Rom 1:27; Jude 7-8). The Apostles preached against homosexual and other sinful lifestyle and
converted pagans from homosexual and other depraved lifestyles especially in Corinth (1Cor 6:9). By
God’s mercy and might, such apostolic gospel has saved many since ancient times, and will yet save
many in our postmodern times. THIS IS WHAT THE CHURCH MUST DO TODAY.
