In my last blog post, I mentioned an article in the comment section from WorldNetDaily that describes what will occur in certain hotel conference rooms before, during, and after inauguration day. I don't even want to link to it. But if you want to be even further disgusted, go to WorldNetDaily and find the article entitled, "pig sex." Apparently, the WND article contains a warning, but the links there contain even further warnings about the content. I just couldn't bring myself to visit the site and read the details of perversion that most likely are written about there.
Ever since the madness of the "no on Prop. 8" protests, homosexual activists - who came out in droves to punish, verbally abuse, physically abuse, and target those who they could find helped Prop. 8 pass - I have stayed away from this issue here at this blog. Some even went so far as to burn down houses and churches!!
Call my absence from the debacle "gay malignant-narcissism-mania fatigue!" However, I have shared additional news over at my Protect Biblical Marriage blog.
The rage that has been expressed by these rabid groups is reminiscent of the homosexual men in Sodom who pounded on Lot's door, attempting to break it down to get at the men (angels) whom Lot was attempting to protect - in order to have sex with them. They didn't care who they would trample over in order to get what they wanted.
Both homosexual "protests" have one thing in common. Malignant narcissism.
Back in July of 2007, I was invited to a conference in Texas that was designed to help people out of homosexual sin.
Integrity and The Cross Conference:
How Jesus Purifies Our Passions
Broken commitments, addictions, narcissism, homosexuality: rarely have Christians faced such enticement unto moral compromise. And been ensnared. Our witness as the body of Christ on earth is at stake. We can fight. We can know our vulnerabilities, and most importantly, the power of Jesus and His community to set (and keep) us free from compromise. Join us as we explore the power of the cross and resulting integrity. He is returning for a pure bride, without spot or blemish. "...give us an undivided heart, that we may fear your name" Psalm 86:11b
When I started this blog back in 2004, I was quite busy writing essays [scroll down - there are 32 essays listed!] regarding the huge push of radical, homosexual activists for the public to accept their behavior as a "good" thing, their overhaul of the public education system to "teach" about homosexuality, and how "hate crimes" legislation would lead to silencing Christians who follow Jesus Christ and His Word, the Bible. At first, they just wanted "equal rights." Then, through "hate crimes" laws, they would advance their agenda to "special rights." The combination of achieving "hate crimes" laws (more accurately - punishment for the wrong "thoughts" about homosexual perversion) and same-sex "marriage" would do away with the ability for Christians to proclaim the full Gospel of Jesus Christ. Why? Because the verses in the Bible that condemn homosexual behavior would be labeled as "hate thought" crimes and be banished from the public arena.
The good news is that not all people who happen to identify as homosexuals feel this way. There are conservative homosexuals/lesbians who do not push for this radical agenda. One of these people is Tammy Bruce. I give her the credit for coining the phrase, "malignant narcissism" regarding the perversity that is inherent in the radical homosexual communities and their repulsive agenda.
Essay from 2004:
At a prophecy conference this weekend at my church, Dr. Gary Frazier shared the fact that the gay marriage issue is a definite "sign of the times" that The Rapture of the church could very well be near. He was cautious not to predict any dates because 'no one knows the day or hour except the Father in heaven,' however, Jesus did warn us that it 'would be as in the days of Noah and the days of Lot.' The paganism that is rampant in the world right now is very reminiscent of the days of Noah and the days of Lot.
Although Dr. Frazier did not spend a lot of time on the issue of homosexual marriage, he did mention how the four judges in Mass. illegitimately decided this issue by anarchical decisions rather than allowing the question to be presented to the majority of people through the Legislature for a vote.
During his presentation, he shared a simple and quite humorous story about a group of kindergartners who were sitting in a circle and given a bunch of nuts and bolts. Each one had the common sense to see that a nut fits into a bolt! Not one tried to fit "two bolts" or "two nuts" together. The point? Even 5-yr. olds have more common sense than the rogue judges in Massachusetts!!
Recently, I heard some interesting comments from well-known lesbian commentator, Tammy Bruce. Bruce, who is against gay marriage, stated that homosexual pride extremism is a result of "malignant narcissism".
I looked up the definitions of those words:
malignant - 1. inclined to cause harm, suffering, or distress. 2. very dangerous or harmful in influence or effect. 3. a. tending to produce death, as bubonic plague. b. (of a tumor) characterized by uncontrolled growth; cancerous, invasive, or metastatic.
narcissism - 1. inordinate fascination with oneself; excessive self-love; vanity. 2. Psycho anal. erotic gratification derived from admiration of one's own physical or mental attributes.
Then I thought about Romans 1:28 -
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
New King James Version © 1982 Thomas Nelson
And, a more modern translation of the same verse:
When they refused to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their evil minds and let them do things that should never be done.
New Living Translation © 1996 Tyndale Charitable Trust
I have often contemplated what "God gave them up" and "God gave them over" truly means in the context of these verses.
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Rom 1:25 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.
Rom 1:26 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:
Rom 1:27 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.
Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Rom 1:32 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.
There are a multitude of sins listed above. They could be applied to many of the excesses and obsessions concerning sexuality....pornography, adultery, fornication, prostitution, bigamy, incest, pedophilia etc., as well as the non-sexual sins listed. But I think that Tammy Bruce's idea of "malignant narcissism" explains many of them, if not all, quite well. /end of 2004 article
The homosexual assault upon our culture has increased to such a magnitude over the past four years it is just absolutely astounding. If you have not already read the two links above ("The Days of Noah" and "The Days of Lot") then you need to read them! The Lord Jesus Christ referred to such days and what was occurring then as a "sign of the times" in the future which will indicate that his return is getting closer.
Our need for discernment in such a time as this could not be more urgent! As followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to be active in pointing the lost towards Christ for the salvation of their souls. We need to "redeem the time because the days are evil."
Eph 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour.
Eph 5:3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
Eph 5:4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
Eph 5:5 For this ye know, that no whore monger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Eph 5:7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
Eph 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
Eph 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
Eph 5:10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them].
Eph 5:12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
Eph 5:13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
Eph 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
Eph 5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Eph 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
