It was alleged during the last election campaign that Mr. Obama is a practicing Sodomite (homosexual, bisexual, “gay” whatever you want to call it). Whether that is true or not, it is undoubtedly true that he is vigorously promoting Sodomy with all the fervor of a devotee. On the White House’s own web site no less than three fifths of his so-called “Civil Rights” agenda is targeted at extending and promoting Sodomy. At the end of this post you can read his full Sodomite program. Notice the imbalance: the REAL Civil Rights abuse in the USA today — the crushing of the rights of all individuals and States of the Union to protect themselves against government interference — IS IGNORED, and the agenda of a very deviant and peculiar set of people is treated as though it is the burning issue of the day.
Now let’s get this clear. Only a tiny minority of the population of the USA is actively Sodomite. However the more vocal members of this numerically quite insignificant sub-sect love to get themselves voted into government office, often hiding or playing down their orientation for the purpose, in order to get laws passed which favor their deviant practices. They hope thus to protect themselves against the inclination of the average redneck, which is, quite frankly, to “lynch ’em!”. That’s why a disproportionate number of politicians and state and local officials are Sodomite, compared to the average in the population. That’s also why Sodomites have a paranoid obsession with “rights” (meaning their rights to practice their deviancy). This comes out clearly in Mr. Obama’s mad rush to enact laws protecting Sodomites’ supposed “rights”.
A larger portion of the population, duped by propaganda in the “mainstream” media, is tolerant of Sodomite behavior in others, because it has been instructed to believe that such tolerance is a sign of modernity, maturity, magnanimity.
We as true Bible-believing Christians, followers of Jesus Christ, only need to find out WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT SODOMY. We are not interested in what anyone else says, so-called “government” or otherwise. Any law which BREAKS GOD’S LAW IS ILLEGAL. We have a Christian duty to DISOBEY ANY SO-CALLED GOVERNMENT REGULATION WHICH IS ANTI-BIBLE. The Devil’s kingdom of this world is in the process of TOTAL COLLAPSE, and that’s because of its anti-God agenda.
What does God say about sodomy? Let’s get a few Bible verses about it.
1 Corinthians 6. 9f.: “9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
“Abusers of themselves with mankind“. This Bible word means any male who abuses (= wrongly uses) his body by intercourse with another male. The Greek original word for this is “arsenokoites” {pronounced ar-sen-ok-oy’-tace} I quote from the dictionary: “Meaning: 1) one who lies with a male as with a female, sodomite, homosexual.” This Scripture proves sodomites, homosexuals will not get into heaven, they will end up in hell, along with the effeminate. How the followers of the neo-ethics of this perverted age hate this fact. They want to con people that sexual deviancy is not a sin. The Word of God says opposite.
The Bible says THE LAW OF GOD is aimed at condemning people such as these: 1 Timothy 1. 9ff.: “9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine.” “Them that defile themselves with mankind” is exactly the same Greek word in the original as the above: arsenokoites, a sodomite, homosexual, so-called “gay”.
The word “lie with” here is the common word in Jewish culture, meaning “have sexual intercourse with” similar to the slang English expression “get laid” (the apostles who wrote the New Testament were Jews who believed in Jesus and used Jewish language). It is the Jewish or Hebrew word shakav which means, according to the dictionary: “Meaning: 1) to lie down 1) to lie, lie down, lie on 2) to lodge 3) to lie (of sexual relations) 4) to lie down (in death) 5) to rest, relax (fig) [in the passive mood] 1) to be lain with (sexually) … to be lain with (sexually) 1d) … to make to lie down … to be laid”. Males who lie sexually with other males are condemned to hell, unless they truly repent of this evil, turn to have faith in Jesus Christ AND PRODUCE THE FRUITS OF REPENTANCE IN THEIR LIVES AFTER REPENTING. You can’t call yourself a Christian, then continue happily on in sin: 2 Timothy 2. 19: “And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”
The New Testament says the Law of God forbids this, and God will punish it. Therefore you can see the apostles of Jesus believed the LAW OF GOD IN THE OLD TESTAMENT IS STILL VALID TODAY AND WILL BE USED BY GOD TO CONDEMN SINNERS LIKE SODOMITES AT THE JUDGMENT UNLESS THEY REPENT AND BELIEVE TRULY IN JESUS. The Law of God says this about sodomy and bestiality (note exactly the same as in the New Testament condemnation of sodomy) Leviticus 18. 22ff. “22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. 23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. 24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you.” God NEVER CHANGES. Malachi 3. 6: ” 6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” Hebrews 13. 8: ” 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” Anything that was abomination to God in the past STILL IS ABOMINATION NOW. That includes sodomy. Since God’s attitude does not change, because He is eternal, the same kind of judgment will follow on any nation that practices abomination: they WILL BE CAST OUT OF THE LAND. America is heading today towards destruction, because of this practice of abomination. When God sees unrepentant sinners continuing on in their abomination practices IN SPITE OF HIS STRICT COMMANDMENT, he lets them get a REPROBATE (= disapproved, not as it ought to be) mind, so their judgment, when it surely comes will be worse: Romans 1. 26ff.:
“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 recompence 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 …. 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.” In their REPROBATE mind, they actually think sodomy is OK. That is in spite of WHAT THEY KNOW GOD SAYS ABOUT IT IN HIS WORD. And God here in the last sentence condemns NOT ONLY the practicers of sodomy, BUT ALSO THOSE WHO HAVE PLEASURE IN THE COMPANY AND WAYS OF SODOMITES, even if they don’t practice it themselves. Mr. Obama comes in one of these two categories.
Note the New Testament, the Word of God, says here SODOMITES SHOULD BE EXECUTED, being worthy of death. This is the same penalty as was given to Sodomites in the Old Testament Law. Nothing has changed here. God says they are WORTHY OF DEATH. He also says that they get afflicted in their body with appropriate diseases, like AIDS and HIV, because they practice such unnatural behavior. (Romans 1. 27 above: “ and receiving in themselves that recompence [= punishment, payback] of their error which was meet.”) It is because the governments of this wicked age, under misguided neo-ethics promoted by soft, effeminate vicars and priests, have stopped executing Sodomites and perverts, that God is bringing judgment swiftly upon it, the USA being the leading culprit in this mass abandonment of Bible faith.
The following, for your information, is Mr. Obama’s filthy, perverted, anti-God agenda to promote sodomy:
(LBGT in the agenda summary below stands for Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, Transgender.)
“Support for the LGBT Community
“While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It’s about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect.”
— Barack Obama, June 1, 2007
* Expand Hate Crimes Statutes: In 2004, crimes against LGBT Americans constituted the third-highest category of hate crime reported and made up more than 15 percent of such crimes. President Obama cosponsored legislation that would expand federal jurisdiction to include violent hate crimes perpetrated because of race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or physical disability. As a state senator, President Obama passed tough legislation that made hate crimes and conspiracy to commit them against the law.
* Fight Workplace Discrimination: President Obama supports the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and believes that our anti-discrimination employment laws should be expanded to include sexual orientation and gender identity. While an increasing number of employers have extended benefits to their employees’ domestic partners, discrimination based on sexual orientation in the workplace occurs with no federal legal remedy. The President also sponsored legislation in the Illinois State Senate that would ban employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
* Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT Couples: President Obama supports full civil unions that give same-sex couples legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples. Obama also believes we need to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure that the 1,100+ federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally-recognized unions. These rights and benefits include the right to assist a loved one in times of emergency, the right to equal health insurance and other employment benefits, and property rights.
* Oppose a Constitutional Ban on Same-Sex Marriage: President Obama voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment in 2006 which would have defined marriage as between a man and a woman and prevented judicial extension of marriage-like rights to same-sex or other unmarried couples.
* Repeal Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell: President Obama agrees with former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff John Shalikashvili and other military experts that we need to repeal the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. The key test for military service should be patriotism, a sense of duty, and a willingness to serve. Discrimination should be prohibited. The U.S. government has spent millions of dollars replacing troops kicked out of the military because of their sexual orientation. Additionally, more than 300 language experts have been fired under this policy, including more than 50 who are fluent in Arabic. The President will work with military leaders to repeal the current policy and ensure it helps accomplish our national defense goals.
* Expand Adoption Rights: President Obama believes that we must ensure adoption rights for all couples and individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation. He thinks that a child will benefit from a healthy and loving home, whether the parents are gay or not.
* Promote AIDS Prevention: In the first year of his presidency, President Obama will develop and begin to implement a comprehensive national HIV/AIDS strategy that includes all federal agencies. The strategy will be designed to reduce HIV infections, increase access to care and reduce HIV-related health disparities. The President will support common sense approaches including age-appropriate sex education that includes information about contraception, combating infection within our prison population through education and contraception, and distributing contraceptives through our public health system. The President also supports lifting the federal ban on needle exchange, which could dramatically reduce rates of infection among drug users. President Obama has also been willing to confront the stigma — too often tied to homophobia — that continues to surround HIV/AIDS.
* Empower Women to Prevent HIV/AIDS: In the United States, the percentage of women diagnosed with AIDS has quadrupled over the last 20 years. Today, women account for more than one quarter of all new HIV/AIDS diagnoses. President Obama introduced the Microbicide Development Act, which will accelerate the development of products that empower women in the battle against AIDS. Microbicides are a class of products currently under development that women apply topically to prevent transmission of HIV and other infections.”
UPDATE 13th May 2009:
Mysteriously the above diatribe has disappeared from the White House web site, and has been replaced by the following few sentences tucked away in a corner:
“President Obama also continues to support the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and believes that our anti-discrimination employment laws should be expanded to include sexual orientation and gender identity. He supports full civil unions and federal rights for LGBT couples and opposes a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. He supports repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell in a sensible way that strengthens our armed forces and our national security, and also believes that we must ensure adoption rights for all couples and individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation.”
As usual the exposure of shameless anti-God behavior has resulted in a public retreat. That is not to say the agenda has changed, it has merely (for the moment at least) ducked its head into the trench. Given Mr. Obama’s obsession with the issue, it will surely pop its ugly little head up again in the not too distant future.
Wow, this was an interesting article. Do you realize that sodomy is not just classified as sex between homosexuals. A man and a woman can (and do) perform acts of sodomy all of the time. In fact, a recent study said that 70% of all 18 and 19 year olds in America have engaged in oral sex. I’m not sure if you realized that the figures were so high. Or perhaps maybe you didn’t know that oral sex was a type of sodomy?
Thanks Shawn. I’m using the word “sodomy” as it is used in everyday English, meaning “behavior like what was practiced in ancient Sodom”.
Epistle of Jude:
“7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”
Sodomite behavior, the Bible says here, is “giving themselves over to FORNICATION” and “going after strange flesh”. The word “fornication” in Greek is PORNEIA and that means ABNORMAL SEXUAL ACTIVITY AS DEFINED BY GOD HIMSELF IN THE BIBLE — NORMAL to God is sexual activity which only involves an individual and his or her spouse of the opposite sex. So Sodomites practiced anti-God, abnormal, sexual behavior. They also went after “strange flesh”, which is the old English way of saying “alien flesh”. This means they had carnal (fleshly) sexual relations of the kind which is ALIEN TO THE GOD OF THE BIBLE, that is sex between an individual and another individual who is not of the opposite sex and not in a Christian marriage relationship. That is how the Bible describes Sodomite behavior. I know there is a “legal” definition of Sodomy, which differs between states and countries across the world, but I’m using it with the Bible meaning, and particularly in the sense of what the media likes to call “gay” or “same-sex” behavior, as that is the commonest kind of perversion practiced today.
“…sodomy (homosexuality, same-sex, “gay” stuff).”
Sodomy is anal or oral sexual intercourse. Taber’s Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, 20th Edition.
Anal or oral copulation with a member of the same or opposite sex; also : copulation with an animal. Merriam-Webster Online.
Homosexuals are condemned in part for practicing these depravities. However, hardly any teacher if any teaches men and women, husbands and wives, these things. They are told that the marriage bed is undefiled, as if anything goes just because it is committed on a bed by married persons.
State laws (the few that are left) except husbands and wives committing sodomy from the law. Why? Certainly it is unlikely that there will be any witnesses, and the marital privilege allows spouses to refuse to testify against one another, and to exclude the testimony of the other against the one. Nevertheless, these perverted practices used to be forbidden by all Christendom.
The Roman Church opened the gates by approving of fellatio by wives upon their husbands as long as seminal discharge takes place in her vagina. The Roman Church also opened the gates in Christendom to contraception in the 1930s. It was a Roman Catholic physician who put 2 and 2 together to describe how to obtain sexual pleasure and release and avoid procreation. The Anglo-Catholic Lambeth Conference also at about the same time legitimized all non-abortifcient means of birth control. Before these Roman Catholic and Protestant Catholic innovations it had been virtually universal in all Christendom to condemn any and all means of obtaining sexual pleasure and release and avoiding procreation.
Wm. Bradford, in Plymouth Plantation, relates a story of the revulsion felt toward a rapist who committed Onanism when he raped a young bride who came to him for consultation. Of Plimoth Plantation, electronic edition, p. 342. [link to website: mith2.umd.edu/eada/html/display.php?docs=bradford_history.xml.] Rape is certainly a reprehensible sin, but one proceeding from a natural urge gone wrong. It is not a “crime against nature.” Onanism, on the other hand, is one of several unnatural sins, crimes against the natural design.
[Feel free to edit this if it is too graphic or goes farther than is appropriate.]
Thanks, Bob, for your observations. You seem to be trying, by false interpretation, to put sodomy (meaning sexual deviancy as defined in the Bible) in the same bracket as oral sex between marriage-partners, or masturbation. This comes from the stupid idea that all sexual urges and actions must only and always be in the literal process of begetting children. Where this leads is into sodomy!! Because young or Biblically-ignorant people begin to think that if they partake in any sexual activity strictly outside of the process of begetting children, they are doing the same thing as homosexuals (sodomites), therefore they might as well be sodomites!! Of course, sodomites promote this false idea to involve others in their perversion. The Bible says (1 Corinthians 7. 9) “if they CANNOT CONTAIN [= be sexually continent], let them MARRY”. It does NOT say, “if they cannot contain, they have sinned, so let them repent”. The Bible does not condemn the INABILITY to be continent, It instead gives the Scriptural ANSWER TO THAT INABILITY TO BE CONTINENT, which is: — TO MARRY. Incontinence is different from the inability to be continent, and will receive judgment. To be incontinent is sinful (2 Timothy 3. 3) because it ignores God’s ANSWER, that is MARRIAGE (1 Timothy 4. 3). That’s why Roman “Catholic” priests are condemned by God’s Word — they twist God’s marriage answer into some kind of spiritual deficiency. The Bible does not condemn all sexual activity outside of the process of begetting children — it condemns sexual activity between WRONG PARTNERS (for example, Leviticus 18. 6 and following verses). Wrong sexual partners include partners outside of legitimate Biblically-based marriage relationship, close relations of various grades, partners of the same sex, and beasts. Defilement and sin has nothing to do with fluids passing out of your body, as Jesus Christ Himself clearly stated (Mark 7. 18-23): what physically goes into your body, food, passes out through your body in the form of waste matter and emissions AND DOES NOT DEFILE A MAN (and “man” includes female). The process of producing the waste matter and emissions, Jesus said, IS A PURIFICATION PROCESS, which purges the food (Mark 7. 19) by means of the body’s internal system. This showed there was no such thing as an actually “unclean” type of food (like pig-meat), as many thought and still think who misread the Old Testament, but the Old Testament “clean” and “unclean” foods were RITUAL SIGNS AND SYMBOLS ONLY FOR THE ISRAELITE NATION, proclaiming a symbolic message of God’s holiness to the world. What DOES defile a man IS WHAT COMES OUT OF HIS HEART, EVIL THOUGHTS, ADULTERIES, FORNICATIONS, MURDERS ETC. ETC. Your wrong, fornicating, interpretation defiles you, but a person’s sexual emissions do not.
You should realize my definition of sodomy is the Biblical one, of behavior like that practiced in Sodom, defined in Jude 7 as FORNICATION (Greek porneia) and GOING AFTER STRANGE FLESH, the word “strange” meaning here “alien” to God’s Biblically permissible flesh, that is, the only flesh permitted by God to “go after” is the flesh of a marriage-partner. You can read more on this in my answer to Shawn on the comments to this Blog post. We as Christians don’t go by what the cults or “churches” define as sin, including sodomy, or by what the state laws or national laws define as sin, we go only by what the Bible defines as sin. Sin is unbelief in the Word of God, the Bible. Sodomy is an attribute of sin — it’s one of the SYMPTOMS of sin disease (unbelief). If you believe truly in Jesus Christ, you don’t practice sin, and the attributes of sin (hatred, murder, theft, lying, adultery, fornication, sodomy etc. etc.) die out of your life. They die with your unbelief. We must ONLY GO BY THE BIBLE, THE WORD OF GOD, WHEN WE DEFINE GOOD AND EVIL BEHAVIOR. The Bible says we must not add or take away one word from the inspired Scriptures, but must only say what the Word of God says. You use Taber’s Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, Merriam-Webster Online, Roman “Catholic” dogma, the Lambeth Conference, “Christendom”, and the Pilgrim Fathers as experts on what is sin, but there is only one true judge of what is right and wrong and that is the Bible. You will go to Hell for disbelieving just one word of the infallible Word of God. The day you eat of the tree of human wisdom, that day you die a twofold death, spiritual and physical. On another point you bring up: — the flesh of marriage partners is “one flesh” according to the Bible. Physically, husband and wife are ONE FLESH. Also that flesh belongs to them conjointly. It is theirs, under the headship of the male. This family union is the FIRST AND ORIGINAL GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY. The husband “rules over” the wife and over his extended household. Human governments COME SECOND AND UNDER THIS ORIGINAL FAMILY AUTHORITY OF THE MALE. Thou shalt NOT COVET ANYTHING THAT IS THY NEIGHBOR’S, INCLUDING, OF COURSE, HIS FLESH. No government can over-rule the authority of the husband over his wife and household, unless, and only if, he departs from the Word of God in his behavior, and commits evil as defined in the Bible Itself, in which case he can be punished as an evil-doer by the secular authority. (But only if the secular authority, too, is legitimate by the Word of God, and most today are not: — for example most modern secular governments are guilty of mass infanticide by their murderous abortion laws, and they also promote sodomy, which is abominable moral filth in God’s sight and will bring down and is bringing down God’s wrath on them.) It is the abandonment of this God-given rule of Law which has thrown the modern world into chaos, into “neo-ethics” and such-like, where the “churches” and secular governments set themselves up to define what is right and wrong.
PS. On another related point brought up in your comment: — “Onanism” is usually used to mean “masturbation”, but this is a typical example of a Bible-passage being twisted out of context. The Onan from whom comes the word “onanism” was a son of the patriarch Judah. (See Genesis 38. 1-10.) When his brother died because of his wickedness, Onan took his brother’s wife to “raise up seed” (= raise up a family) for his brother’s name, to keep his brother’s family name alive. This was an eastern custom, but at that time it was not ordained by God Himself yet, as it was later in the Law of Moses. But Onan practiced what amounted to “the rhythm method” with his new wife to avoid getting any children by her. This was against the eastern custom, but by this practice in itself, he had not broken the Law of God, as the Law of Moses was not yet given, and when it was, it only applied in such ceremonial and typical usages to the literal nation of Israel, not to other nations or peoples. What Onan did wrong was he DECEIVED his wife into thinking he was going to raise a family by her to her dead husband’s name. This was his sin, and that is why God smote him. So “Onanism” properly means “deception in customary family matters” and does not, Biblically-speaking, mean “masturbation”.
You say here “Only a tiny minority of the population of the USA is actively Sodomite.”
Yet in a previous post you equate women who wear pants with sodomites. That would be nearly half the population. So, which is it? A sodomite practices anal sex or a sodomite is a woman in pants?
The key word here is “ACTIVELY”. I said only a tiny minority of the population is ACTIVELY Sodomite, that is, physically practicing sodomy. If you read the posts properly you will see that women who wear pants ARE SPIRITUALLY SODOMITE. They have a Sodomite spirit on them. In God’s Book spiritual Sodomy is just as wicked as physical Sodomy and people guilty of either or both will receive God’s judgment.
I understand you wrote “actively.” But you also say that what you call “spiritual sodomy” is as bad as active sodomy, thereby condemning women who wear pants to God’s judgment, like active homosexuals. [The rest of this comment is under the appropriate Blog entry “Woman wearing pants = spirit of sodomy”]
Yup, “spiritual sodomy”, for example a woman wearing pants, and therefore having a spirit of sodomy on her, IS JUST AS BAD AS PRACTICING SODOMY PHYSICALLY. That is the Gospel, that is the New Testament. Read Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount: for example —
Matthew 5: 27 “Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.”
So spiritual adultery is just as bad as physical adultery and will receive the same punishment, so also spiritual sodomy is as bad as physical sodomy.
Another example from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount:
Matthew 5:21 “Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca [“Vain fellow”], shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.”
Spiritual aggro against a person is the same as physical aggro and will receive the same punishment, hell fire. The same for spiritual sodomy — hell fire will be the punishment.
Sir, you are full of hate. The fact that you are cutting people out of the love of God is disgusting. The Bible is a collection of texts that has been formed over the process of thousands of years of oral tradition, dictation, translation, interperations, and agendas. You view it as inerrant, but in truth it is full of contradictions within itself.
Also, i see you are using the King James Version. Why? There are far more accurate translations from the ancient texts into modern english. Evidence also shows that your beloved King James was a homosexual.
People do not choose to be queer. We are born that way. Just as you werre created to be a straight man, I was created by GOD to be a gay man. I know that I am deeply loved by God, and I hope all queer people do.
Your words are poison
Sir you are full of filth. The fact that you are cutting perverts into the fellowship of the Love of God is disgusting. The Bible is not just a collection of texts that has been formed over the process of thousands of years of oral tradition, dictation, translation, interpretations and agendas, it is, in fact the Word of God Himself. You view it as in error, but in truth it is full of inspired and life-giving exhortation, instruction and perfect Revelation.
Also I see you do not use the King James version. Why? There is none more accurate translation from the ancient texts into classical English, using the God-preserved Received Text, instead of the ridiculously defective Codex Vaticanus which underlies all popular modern versions. Evidence also shows that good King James was a great promoter of the praiseworthy attempt by true men of God to publish the Word of God in plain and simple language to all men, of every station in life, bypassing the obscuration of the Word of God by that evil “man of sin” (the so-called “Pope”).
People choose to be queer. They are not born that way. Just as you were created to be a moral, loving and upright being, worshiping God by your words and actions, so you were perverted by the Devil, who used your own lust to sin, into a miserable “gay” man. I know that you are deeply loved, in spite of your filth and sin, by God, and I hope all the queerest people on earth, like yourself, repent from the heart of their degraded sin and turn to Jesus for forgiveness and soul-healing.
Your words are poison.
Well, I have to admit that, until reading this article, I thought that I had already seen every twisted interpretation of Scripture on the issue of homosexuality. I’m a fraid that the author of this thread’s article is thoroughly lacking in ancient historical education.
Firstly, “sodomite” has virtually no relation whatsoever to Sodom; it has been falsely interpreted heterosexists to refer to homosexuals.
There are only four verses in all of Scripture – one in Deuteronomy and three in 1st Kings – which use the word SODOMITE:
“There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a SODOMITE of the sons of Israel,” -Deuteronomy 23:17
“For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree. And there were also SODOMITES in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel,” -1st Kings 14:23-24
“And he took away the SODOMITES out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made,” -1st Kings 15:12
“And (King Jehoshaphat) walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the Lord: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places. And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel. Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? And the remnant of the SODOMITES, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land,” -1st Kings 22:43-46
The Hebrew word, which the KJV translates as “Sodomite”, is “Qadesh”. As a reader of the Hebrew language, I know and understand the definition of Qadesh. In fact, the word was once so popular and well known that there were several cities which bore this name. But don’t take MY word for it. Here’s how the famous Strong’s Concordance of the KJV itself translates this word:
“a quasi sacred person, i.e. a male devotee by prostitution to licentious idolatry; – Sodomite, unclean.”
Literally, Qadesh refers to male prostitution in pagan religious rites. By the very Hebrew definition of the word, we see that it does not refer to a homosexual, but rather, male religious prostitution heterosexually and/or homosexually – since the Bible makes NO mention of either (which is another flaw in the anti-gay interpretation of this word).
The context of the verses above also confirms the Strong’s Hebrew definition. In EVERY case that “Sodomite” occurs in the Scriptures, we see it coupled with idolatry or prostitution – which is exactly what a Sodomite would be involved with. A Sodomite is the male equivalent of a female temple prostitute, used for sexual rituals and orgies to false gods, such as Dionysus, Bacchus, Baal, and Dagon. Men would have sex with “Sodomites” [Qadeshim] – not because they were homosexual, but because they believed that that was the offering demanded by the god to who they offered their sex offering. They believed that the energy built up during the sex act was some sort of spiritual energy, and they believed that there were two different types of energies they could achieve to offer to their god – one with a female, and one with a male. And for this very reason, this practice is known to flourish among many sects of witchcraft (Wicca) and Satanism today.
Because so many people incorrectly believe that Sodom was destroyed because of homosexuality (though Ezekiel 16:49-50 and Jude 1:7 contradicts that manmade doctrine), “homosexual” is then assumed to be the definition of “Sodomite”, and it is from this assumption that the newer, totally corrupted term “Sodomy” was invented (first applied to anal sex, and then oral sex was added later – though the Scriptures forbid NO particular sexual acts between married couples). However, the Hebrew word “Qadesh” does not refer to the nation of Sodom or the so-called act of “Sodomy”. The King James translators used the English word “Sodomite” as a way to label the debaucherous behavior in the verses where the word is used. It’s a bit like using the word “Nazi” to sum up all the behavior of a tyrannical ruler. In Hebrew, if you were to refer to the citizens of Sodom as “Sodomites”, it would be “Sedomiit” (pronounced sed-om-eh-eet) – not “Qadesh”. Sadly, a very WRONG definition has been applied to that English word, and had Christian scholars studied these verses to show themselves approved unto God, they would know this easily.
It is interesting that the church claims that this definition is a twisting of the Scriptures, when in fact it is the church that has altered the meaning of the English word to suit personal bias. I am always amazed that, with all of the scholarly wisdom among pastors and ministers of the Church-at-large, this word is taught to mean something it does not mean. That is a clear indication of either personal bias, or ignorance, among the clergy, which is then inflicted upon the rest of the Body of Christ.
Lastly, the issue about whether homosexuals are going to hell or not is a moot point. EVERYONE is going to hell without Jesus. Heterosexuals don’t get a free pass into heaven merely because they are heterosexual. Nowhere did Jesus tell us to go out and convert homosexuals to heterosexuality. Jesus gave two directives: love one another as He loved us, and, preach the GOSPEL – the good news that all Mankind was doomed to condemnation but that through Jesus they can be saved from that fate.
How has the church become one big band of Pharisees, doing exactly what Jesus chastized those ancient religious leaders for? Jesus sat down and ate and befriended those whom the selfrighteous religious folks shunned; He looked beyond the particular sin of the sinners – knowing that ALL men are sinners – and He spoke to them of salvation and of the glory of the Father – but He said to the pompous pious ones, “The publicans and the harlots shall enter the kingdom of God before you… For many shall come from the east and the west and sit down with Abraham and with Isaac and with Jacob in My Father’s kingdom, but the children of the kingdom shall be cast into outer darkness.”
May God have mercy on the astronomical ignorance of the church.

Your fruitless attack on the very appropriate King James Bible word “Sodomite” gets you nowhere. It is laughable to see you quoting Strong’s Dictionary to prove your allegation that the Hebrew word Kadesh (or Qadesh) does not mean “Sodomite”, then finding that that’s EXACTLY HOW STRONG’S TRANSLATES IT IN YOUR OWN QUOTE — “… SODOMITE, UNCLEAN”. Come on now, you’ve got to better than that if you want to try and twist the clear plain and holy Word of God which THOROUGHLY CONDEMNS SODOMY, I.E. “GAY” STUFF, into your little imaginary pro-Sodomite handbook. God certainly has sent you “strong delusion to believe a lie”, because you rejected the Truth of God condemning your sodomy, and telling you your persistent sin will take you down to hell. You won’t get out of that by playing with words. So before I go into the FACTS of what the Bible says, I warn and exhort you not to pervert a single word of God’s Scriptures. That’s what Satan did, using the serpent, in the Garden of Eden. God said “If you eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil, YOU WILL SURELY DIE” — Satan said to Eve “You WON”T ACTUALLY DIE, you will merely BECOME LIKE GOD, A DIVINE SPIRIT BEING, knowing good and evil”. In other words the lie of Satan was that God DID NOT MEAN “DIE” IN THE LITERAL SENSE, HE JUST MEANT DIE TO YOUR OLD LIFE AND BECOME LIKE A GOD. Well that was a lie then and it’s a lie now. YOU WILL DIE, or LITERALLY IN HEBREW YOU WILL DIE WITH DEATH (TWICE): you will die spiritually and physically. God said it. God meant it. And that’s exactly what happened. So don’t you come around, you little serpent, trying to say that God does not mean what He says when HE CONDEMNS SODOMY. HE DOES MEAN IT, AND SODOMY IS SODOMY, SEX PERVERSION IS SEX PERVERSION, LYING OF A MALE IN A SEXUAL MANNER WITH A MALE IS ABOMINABLE FILTH AND GOD WILL DESTROY ANYONE WHO DOES IT. PERIOD.
First on the word “Sodomite” This is a very good English word, and describes the person for what he or she is. A person who practices things like they did in Sodom. Yes, precisely. You need to read the Biblical account in Genesis of how God rescued Lot from Sodom to see that the people of Sodom tried to “know” (in the Biblical sense = have carnal intercourse with) the angels who were sent down in the form of men by God to investigate the sins of the city. Lot offered the Sodomites his daughters (which they took, correctly, as mockery of them by Lot) and they attempted to commit their sins by violence. Well that describes their practices. That’s the kind of thing Sodomites do. Notice particularly how they attempted to CORRUPT GOD’S MESSENGERS (ANGELS). The Devil has a particular delight in using Sodomites like yourself to attempt to corrupt His Christian servants.
That’s what Sodomite means in GOOD BIBLICAL ENGLISH. It still does mean that. Webster’s English Dictionary defines Sodomite thus: “A person who practices sodomy”. Thank you Webster’s. And it defines “sodomy” thus: “”Anal copulation, esp. between male persons, or with animals”. Thank you again Webster’s. Neutral, medical, and precise as always. It correctly derives the word from the Late Latin word Sodoma = Sodom (the city Sodom). That’s the definition. That’s how I use it, within the terms of the Bible’s own list of barred sexual relationships. That’s what the King James translators meant when they used the word. The King James translators used it to translate the Hebrew word Kadesh (or Qadesh if you prefer). The Jewish scholar Jastrow, who was expert in Biblical Hebrew, later Hebrew, and ancient Near Eastern languages, translates the Biblical Hebrew Kadesh precisely as “Sodomite”. Kadesh means literally a “separated” or “cut off, rejected” (Jastrow) person. The meaning was separated/cut off to the cult or practices of the Canaanite religions of the land, which included perverted sexual rites and customs. Nobody knows for certain what the precise details of those practices were, but included was the deliberate breaking of normal socio-sexual rules. Ancient paganism generally included the use of perverted sex, like sodomy, prostitution, etc. in the cult, and fostered it outside the cult. The priests of the pagan religions taught the people (as you do today) that such acts were “separated to the service of the gods, sacred” (kadesh) and understandably, therefore, the people began, like the inhabitants of Sodom, to practice such abominations outside, as well as inside, the temples. So “Sodomite” is a very appropriate word, if you are looking for a single word, to translate the Hebrew Kadesh, meaning a person dedicated to such practices. It includes a reference to the Canaanite culture which encouraged the degeneracy. You might say, “Well I’m not an adherent of the Canaanite religions”. YOU ARE IF YOU DO AS THEY DO. They worshiped El (God) too. They just had a different interpretation of what El (God) was, compared to Moses’ interpretation. So do you today. You worship El (God) and say He is Jesus. But your God (El) and Jesus is A DIFFERENT GOD AND JESUS TO THE GOD OF MOSES AND PAUL. The God of Moses and Paul condemns sodomy and all its ways. Your God doesn’t. Paul said if someone comes preaching A DIFFERENT JESUS TO WHAT HE WAS PREACHING, LET HIM BE ACCURSED.
Your reference to the word Kadesh as a city-name is wholly misplaced. There is no reference in the place-names “Kadesh” to the noun “Kadesh” meaning “Sodomite, or adherent of the Canaanite sex-cult”. In the place-names it simply means “Sanctuary”, Canaanite, Israelite or otherwise. For example Kadesh in the Arabah was so named by Moses because God was “sanctified” there by the miracle of producing water from the rock. It became a “holy place (Kadesh) or Sanctuary” as a consequence.
On your mealy-mouthed pleading for mercy on sinners — yes, God has mercy IF SINNERS REPENT. To repent, you need to know WHAT TO REPENT FROM. How can you admit you are a sinner, and repent of it, if you don’t know what sin is???? God says “BY THE LAW …” (and by THE Law God means HIS LAW, THE LAW GIVEN TO ISRAEL BY THE PROPHET MOSES) “… IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF SIN”. We know what is sin BY THE LAW OF GOD WRITTEN IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. Now THAT WON’T SAVE US, THAT JUST TELLS US WHAT SIN IS. Now we need to 2) REPENT OF THAT KNOWN SIN, and 3) BELIEVE THAT JESUS TOOK OUR PUNISHMENT ON CALVARY AND RECEIVE HIS HOLY SPIRIT WHICH WILL “SAVE US FROM OUR SINS”. That’s it. If you just say “I believe in Jesus, so I’m saved” — NOT NECESSARILY. Have you REPENTED FIRST??? AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT SIN IS SO YOU CAN REPENT OF IT????? SIN, the Bible says IS TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW. Again THE Law. Not A Law, THE Law. Governments can make A Law, but God ALONE makes THE Law. Now that LAW of God condemns sodomy, “gay” practices, as ABOMINABLE FILTH REQUIRING THE DEATH PENALTY FROM HUMAN GOVERNMENT. (See the Blog post Obama promotes sodomy, for the Bible references in detail.) Now you need to REPENT OF THAT FILTH, THEN believe. Get the order right.
