Sodom and Ecclessia

 

Koot van Wyk

 

There is an increasing demand in the North American Division, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and other countries to follow the Sodom End-time scenario predicted by Jesus and let a Seventh-Gay Adventist cult be set up. The word “cult” is a better term than church. “Church”. Are you a judge in California and trying to be an honest Seventh-day Adventist? Resign. The jurisprudence of certain states and California does not allow you to live out your Adventist faith in the workspace. Are you a lawyer fighting for LGBTQH rights? Stop. The Bible or Word of God requires you to.

Christ foretold us that institutionalized LGBTQH of Sodom and Gemorrah will pop-up shortly before His coming. It is a signal of the End of Time. In Lot’s case? Ecclessia. Come out of her My people so that you will not receive her Fire. Ecclessia means church because it is a calling out of a sinful environment or sinful lifestyle to one giving up what is past. Including LGBTQH.

Can LGBTQH be healed? Totally? Of course. The problem is that people do not know that to get rid of this disease or monster in one’s life, the essential approach is the eyes. God said to Moses what? Do not make images. Why? Because the visual “attack” of the image/picture/game room/pornography/photo/statue is on the cognitive seats of the brain with enormous consequences. Imagination, creativity, past experience, lack of experience or too much of it, can bulldoze the brain into desires and passions that just wait to be unleashed. But not if the eyes are turned away, the refusal to look. Rejection to see. A total 100% cut-off from that habit in life. No more “just beauty looking”. No more staring. Immediately the eyes closed or TV turn off or channel changed or walk away in a crowd not knowing what they are doing. Cognitive rejuvenation starts. Imagination is cleansed like a Laundromat and creativity focus on Christ and Him crucified and Mediating for us and the Spirit of God coming to our rescue. Blessing follow immediately or very shortly. Heaven clearly rejoice about it and do not hesitate to notify the struggling saint. So yes, it can be healed 100%.

Back to Christ’s warning of the endtime Sodom repetition. Below are listed the creeping LGBTQH history on wikipaedia. This list is only to 2009 but the topic is dealt with until 2018 with Secretary Mattis asking the Military to research gays in the military for a decision on it. What Obama did to it in 2016 is also in wikipaedia. Shocking. The Bible was thrown out of the USA by him in this action.

The study by Olson et al on the statistics of religion and LGBTQH is very illuminating on the role of the Bible or Word of God and the reaction of faithful people to this topic.

“Studies show that Non-Protestants are much more likely to support same-sex unions than Protestants; 63% of African Americans claim that they are Baptist or Protestant, whereas only 30% of white Americans are. Religion, as measured by individuals' religious affiliations, behaviors, and beliefs, has a lot of influence in structuring same-sex union attitudes and consistently influences opinions about homosexuality. The most liberal attitudes are generally reflected by Jews, liberal Protestants, and people who are not affiliated with religion. This is because many of their religious traditions have not "systematically condemned homosexual behaviors" in recent years. Moderate and tolerant attitudes are generally reflected by Catholics and moderate Protestants. And lastly, the most conservative views are held by Evangelical Protestants. Moreover, it is a tendency for one to be less tolerant of homosexuality if their social network is strongly tied to a religious congregation. Organized religion, especially Protestant and Baptist affiliations, espouse conservative views which traditionally denounce same-sex unions. Therefore, these congregations are more likely to hear messages of this nature. Polls have also indicated that the amount and level of personal contact that individuals have with homosexual individuals and traditional morality affects attitudes of same-sex marriage and homosexuality.”

LGBT rights and the Supreme Court

1956 - Supreme Court rules that a homosexual publication is not automatically obscene and thus protected by the First Amendment.

1967 - Supreme Court rules that Congress may exclude immigrations on the grounds that they are a homosexual. Congress amends its laws in 1990.

1972 - Supreme Court rules that a Minnesota law defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman is constitutional.

1976 - Supreme Court refuses to hear and thus affirms a lower courts ruling that a Virginia state sodomy law is constitutional. (see Doe v. Commonwealth's Attorney).

1985 - Supreme Court is equally divided in a 4-4 decision, and thus affirms an Oklahoma Appeals Court ruling that an Oklahoma law that gave the public school broad authority to fire homosexual teachers was too broad and thus unconstitutional.

Laws affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people vary greatly by country or territory; everything from the legal recognition of same-sex marriage to the death penalty as punishment for same-sex romantic/sexual activity or identity. Laws that affect LGBT people include, but are not limited to, the following:

As of March 2017, 23 countries, the overwhelming majority of which are developed democracies and the rest being developing democracies, recognize same-sex marriage.

As of August 2017, 73 countries as well as four sub-national jurisdictions have laws criminalizing homosexuality, with most of these being African and Islamic countries. In 2006 that number was 92. As of May 2016, 16 countries have an unequal age of consent law.

In 2011, the United Nations Human Rights Council passed its first resolution recognizing LGBT rights, which was followed up with a report from the UN Human Rights Commission documenting violations of the rights of LGBT people, including hate crime, criminalization of homosexuality, and discrimination. Following up on the report, the UN Human Rights Commission urged all countries which had not yet done so to enact laws protecting basic LGBT rights.

 

Is it the End-Time Sodom scenario that Christ was talking about? What if people are working in “Sodom” and wish to obtain “green cards” to work in Sodom? Why does Revelation 18 says that faithful should leave Babylon and come out of it not to get the plaques? Is New York the harbor city in that chapter?

 

The solution is John 3 with Nicodemus: rebirth and John 8: ‘Go and sin no more”.

 

Dear Lord

Sodom institutionalizations of LGBTQH are definitely vividly here in modern times with us. Please be with the innocent Lots of modern times who still live in Sodom and cannot go yet. At the right time, show them to migrate to safety out of cities. In Jesus name, Amen.
