With Sodomite marriages in vogue, it is a sad day in American history, a time of mourning. Mourning over the death not of some great patriot, but of the death of ideals that have shaped and molded the American Republic and brought it to greatness. However, it is not simply just ideals alone that are being mortified, they are the core values that shape humanity and civilization the foundation of moral determination. Sin has been re-interpreted, and has lost social significance, but it is the element which determines a nation’s ignominy or glory, as spoken in the words of the great sage Solomon:
"Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people."
Proverbs 14:34
The celebration over the legitimization of "same sex marriages," the public censorship of Biblical literature which denounces the practice as among the greatest repulsion of God’s moral sentiments (Lev.20:13), are two hallmarks of the death of these "Ideals." Nonetheless, what we are witnessing is the natural outcome of the marital union of Humanism and Atheism. This ignominious union has birthed many children already whose names we have kept often company, such as Infanticide, Genocide and Euthanasia, Antinomianism.
The logical outworking of an anthropocentric worship will inevitably be self-destructive. Paul the Apostle who so vividly painted the picture of the consequence of rejection of a theocentric worship in the first chapter of his epistle to the Romans:
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God [theocentric worship] into an image made like to corruptible man [anthropocentric worship]... Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 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.
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use [Lesbianism] into that which is against nature: 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 [Homosexuality], and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
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; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 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.
Romans Ch.1:24a-32
The general logical outcome (as communicated by this scripture) of a rejection of God is homosexuality, as Paul the Apostle so eloquently states. This is not an absolute statement in that all turn to homosexuality, but a general principle which seems to have historical justification. In addition, he explicitly states a list of the natural consequence of this rejection as quoted above. But yet for many a pondering mind, the question remains as to how did we arrive at such a juncture as we watch in horror the jettisoning of moral values from society. I wish to emphatically clarify that it is not the failure of Biblical Truth to reform but the rejection of its principles, and that, by we the proponents of these principles that have been equally guilty of bringing us to this juncture. God’s wrath is extricated upon those who reject him, but few understand that it is equally extricated upon those who profess Him and are guilty of the same crime:
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Rom. Ch.1:18
And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
Rom. Ch.2:3
Such "holding of the truth" in unrighteousness is perhaps the most sinister of all crimes of Biblical Theist. It is we who have rejected Biblical Principle for a fashionable social ethic which has aided the proliferation of the Humanistic agenda. I shall explain so weighty of an accusation by an objective criticism of society, and one must judge for themselves their guilt of participation.
It is a contemporary ideology in industrial nations that "Knowledge is Key." "Education," as it is so called (it largely means the governmental form), has become the compulsory ethic in which Governments (self-appointed) enforce with vehement rage for non-compliance, to the point of incarceration of parents as criminals. It has been viewed as the medium by which we will arrive at a Societal Utopia (or perhaps maintain the servile role of humanity in a capitalistic economy). It is believed that if properly executed it shall usher in an era in which societal ills such as murder, diverse abuses, sexual crimes, diverse addictions, theft, etc will be eradicated. It has become the measure of legitimate governments whether rightfully so or not as Rousseau stated:
Public education… is one of the fundamental rules of popular or legitimate government.
Rousseau, On Political Economy
Unfortunately, a thing need not be true to have great influence, such is the case of the ideology of Evolution which is empirically bankrupt but perceived as established fact. Nonetheless, the utopianistic idea of education coupled with a humanistic model of behaviour modification is the undergirding philosophy for “programs of rehabilitation,” if only we “educate” people of these ills and give them methods of overcoming their own compulsions we can create “better” people out of them (the idea extends to criminal justice and chemical addiction rehab.). This rationale permeates the Public Educational System as well as the Majority of Private Sectors of Education, and is not exclusive of our judicial systems. The "power of reformation" of Knowledge is tightly adhered and permeates our public domain, irrespective of the objective facts to the contrary that people still act contrary to their knowledge. Knowledge must be coupled with Virtue to reform action. Virtue is that inward compulsion which is the expression of a moral character. Without such moral fabric there lies no inward impetus or measure of conduct. Virtue cannot be fabricated or used in pretense, it comes as only as an understanding of man's relation to the divine, as state also by Socrates:
Virtue comes to the virtuous by the gift of God.
Socrates, Nicomachean Ethics
Yet "Education" is the proverbial carrot that is dangled before the mule to keep us moving in some direction in hope of achievement of a greater good, although devoid of moral character. But for the theist, there should be a notable contradiction of this philosophy with the Pauline passage previously stated. Rejection of God, irrespective of what level of education one is granted, will result in moral reprobation (Rom.1:28). This is why our Humanistically based Public Education System has failed us, because it teaches knowledge without virtue. It has handicapped itself from teaching virtue, because virtue implies some moral doctrine, and Humanism coupled with Atheism apparently will not barter with any trace of a theistic world-view. The system holds to the self-masticating system of Pluralism which seeks to treat all “Ideals” equally in the name of objectivity. Hence, this system is producing generations of graduates with no sentiment for Dignity, Nobility, Duty, Loyalty, Responsibility, Chastity, Temperance, Valiance, Magnanimity, Intrepidity, Love, Compassion, Mercy, Honesty and whatsoever is defined within the scope of Virtue. This is because they are simply “Ideals” which equate to simple opinions once absorbed into their pragmatically saturated minds. All “Ideals,” then, only have “value” to which man ascribes to them, which is the philosophical heart of Atheism. If the Public Education system has fulfilled its duty of indoctrinating a graduate with the doctrine of Naturalism via the liturgy of Evolution (which is presented as absolute fact in the majority of science text books), it would be consistently logical to conclude that Morality is the byproduct of anthropological evolution and has no grounds in the supernatural. This is unfortunately the prevailing idea, but few question the premises of which such a conclusion has been drawn. Their emerges a contention between denial of moral absolutes by Naturalism and an affirmation of their necessity by the theist. These opposing ideas cannot be true at the same time, hence, we shall find it the natural outcome of rejection of morality as an impingement upon our pupils personal freedoms (namely “sexual expressions” or “alternative lifestyles”). It is no secret, that if the private agenda of the majority of Public School Systems (or private interest groups) is fulfilled, they should eradicate morality in its absolute sense. Hence, producing a generation with no shame, no morals, no love and no mercy which is precisely what the objective facts are telling us as we look at every industrial nation’s crime statistics. What we see in the end result is a loss of a point of reference of what is good and evil and confusion over there definitions, as Isaiah the prophet stated in the following passage:
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isaiah Ch.5:20
America has quickly become a nation without virtue as the natural byproduct of its Public School System agenda. Our Public School Systems have failed us, and we have failed our God in believing the unprecedented belief that "Knowledge is Key" at the sacrifice of Virtue. It is especially true for those of us in Christendom which have sent our children to public school systems which cannot instill in them the Virtues which are presented in the Holy Writ. Virtue is to take precedence over knowledge, we are first to develop faith, then virtue and then knowledge (2Pt.1:5). Knowledge is only properly understood from a heart of virtue than can discern the equity of a man's wisdom. Only a mother living out her God ordained responsibility can instill in her children the virtue of love, mercy and compassion (modeled in her life and touch), and only a father can instill in his children masculinity, valiance, duty, and responsibility. It is the mother and father together in perfect synergy of God’s pattern of relationship which instill in their children a proper sexual identity and its expression. It is the twain which model faith, love, intrepidity, magnanimity, nobility that rise a man or woman above all the animals of creation and bestow upon them honor. We have surrendered our children into the hands of the surrogates of public education, and they will not, if cannot, instill in them the virtues that are so desperately needed to raise a nation above barbarism. This demise has come upon us stealthy as woman have been wooed out of the home to achieve what Carl Jung would ascribe as Self-Actualization, but is purely a mask for our increasing lust for materialism. Though, I suppose among many of the working mothers, such an admission should be an admittance of guilt and would be largely suppressed for fear of the necessity of change.
What right have we to then be alarmed at the estimates of 80-90% of “Christian youth” leaving their faith after high school. They are merely expressing the doctrines which they have been nursed upon for twelve years and are now weaned to live them publicly. Mothers have surrendered their children to surrogates which have taught them faithfully the doctrines of Naturalism. This surrender has come with a high price to pay for the few small possessions that they grasp onto while defending their “need” to work in the name of "Emancipation." The feminist agenda has taken its roots in Christendom, and the fruits of it are the surrendering of their children to a public educational system which has its contrary doctrines to impart. Women have brought upon themselves a double curse, they have assumed the curse of both man and woman. The curse as the result of sin upon woman was that of increased conception, painful childbirth and desire to rule over man (Genesis 3:16) and for man the toilsome work of provision from a cursed earth, but the woman has willing taken the curse of the man in the name of "fulfillment" and toils in the same labor. It is this event which has been stated by William Durant as the single most monumental event in the turn of human history:
If in imagination we place ourselves at the year 2000 [author note: this was written in 1929], and ask what was the outstanding feature of human events in the first quarter of the twentieth century, we shall perceive that it was not the Great War (World War 1), nor the Russian Revolution, but the change in the status of woman. History has seldom seen so startling a transformation in so short a time. The "sacred home" that was the basis of our social order, the marriage system that was our barrier against human passion and instability, the complex moral code that lifted us from brutality to civilization and courtesy, are visibly caught in that all our modes of life and thought, since factories out wooed the fields, and cities absorbed the natural and human resources of the countryside. It is not without excuse that our minds are a little unbalanced in this unmoored (unchained, ever moving) age.
Will Durant: The Mansions of Philosophy - p.193 (1929 A.D.)
The most pronounced change in human history was that of the woman leaving her domicile in exchange for joining the labor force. This large scale experiment in industrial nations is now showing its results. Mother at home was the last reminiscence of a Biblical patriarchal system of father rule. Now “all is equal,” so it is said and none is subordinated, at least that is the pretense. The deterioration of any nation is the by-product of parents not teaching the virtues of Biblical Truth to their children as communicated in the Torah, the Sacred Scripture of both Jew and Christian (and some Muslim):
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Dt. Ch.6:7
But, we are not teaching them "diligently" as implied day to day and throughout the day, but there is one who is "diligently" teaching the ideologies of Humanism, Naturalism, Agnosticism and Atheism in the guise of objectivity and Education, and it is not mother and father.
America has forgotten what has made them great because they have forgotten the principles which establish life's sacredness. We have forgotten the immutable nature of God sentiments (Mal.3:6). And Christendom has largely only succeeded in proliferating the Ideologies which are destroying our nation. The Sexual Revolution which as dawned upon America has produced masculine women and effeminate man. It is a repulsive violation of divine sentiment as revealed in holy writ. Paul writes that the effeminate men will not be permitted heaven in the following verse:
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate [men], nor abusers of themselves with mankind [homosexuals],
nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1Cor.6:9
I was converted some twenty sevens years ago and have yet to hear one sermon on the statement of scripture that effeminate men will not go to heaven. This is the result of the influences of the sexual revolution determining our selective theology. Where did Paul get this notion? Paul is merely reflecting a biblical principle which was stated over a thousand years before his time. The principle of role reversal is seen in Dt.22:5. The principle which underlies the passage is in the context of clothing, however, clothing is only the application of the principle of role reversal. The reason why God should hate the blurring of gender roles is the obvious outworking of what we see in America today, that being absolute confusion of sexual identity. Confusion as to what role they play in life, and complete confusion in sexual expression. This is why Paul writes:
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Titus Ch.2:4-5
Paul is not being a male bigot, but merely affirming the ordination of the woman's role in her home as declared in Dt.22:5 in the principle of role distinction. But, in mainstream Christendom silence still remains over the necessity of a woman’s dominion in the domicile, but rather the proliferation of the Sexual Revolution has prominence as we celebrate women leaving the home for the market place of labor. If in Christendom we are unnerved over what society is producing (sodomites – sexual role switching), we are much to be blamed by violating these paramount principles of scripture. These principles are what Durant referred to as the "The 'sacred home' that was the basis of our social order." The natural consequence of the abandonment of the role of keeper at home is the blasphemy of the word of God as Paul states and society so clearly portrays. It is the hand that rocks the cradle that rules the world. The role of mother and keeper at home is paramount to the stability of nations. It is through love, mercy and daily consistency that such virtues as compassion are instilled in a child. Mother surrendering this role to State has produced a nation of violent children, and children that are so confused over their sexual identity that sodomy is running rampant in our nations. By confusing the roles of gender proliferated the confusion, we have "sown to the wind and reaped the whirlwind" (Hos.8:7).
Sodomite marriages may be vogue in mainstream media but the God of revealed scripture remains immutable and such press will never dissuade him from His judgment, no matter how palatable it maybe made to appear.
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
Eccl. 3:7
As Solomon stated, there is a time for silence, but that time has long passed. It now is a time to speak. One may choose the path of a Puritan and attempt to reform the culture, or one may choose the path of a Separatist and withdraw to develop a sub-culture within a larger in culture. Whatever choice is determined, we must speak out, as perhaps a Puritanical approach we would flood the legislative offices with the voices of our opinion. I have taken a mix of the two. In terms of education, I have become a Separatist and withdrawn my children from public education and have been homeschooling now for the several years. I had seen the loss of shared values between my oldest child and myself and withdrew her from public education. Upon her graduation day she thanked me and stated that she would not undo it for a million dollars. This made the many hours of "lectures" and heart to heart talks worth it all. It is time to capture the hearts of our children (Mal. 4:6) but it will never happen in mothers have relinquished the glory of their dominion to the surrogate state. I challenge mothers to come to a place of repentance and return home and make building children of virtue you aim which is the essence of great nations. Make every sacrifice to do so; the souls of your children are of greater worth than any material comfort or gain. The witness of such a sacrifice by the children will speak loudly of their worth, and when they are older they will follow the same pattern. If you are in a country or State in which home education is hostile contact the Home School Legal Defense at hslda.org, they will be able to assist you with your needs. Contrary to popular opinion, home education is legal in the USA and the cost of materials are tax deductable; however, you should consult an accountant or the IRS for legal qualifications. In some cases entire curriculums can be purchased in year long bundles.
I challenge fathers to repentance and bring their wives home and make every effort to support their wives in taking dominion of their homes and restore the honorable role of motherhood in your nation. I challenge you women who "cannot stand your children" to come to repentance and learn to love your children (Titus 2:4) as you should that God's word should not be blasphemed. It is a time to speak out, a time for reformation, a time of restoration of the necessity of motherhood and fatherhood by the principles of Truth found in Biblical Revelation the sacred writ which we so commonly call "The Bible." We can never be reformers if we are conformers. Our future stands in the balance, we must raise a generation that is valiant for truth, dignified as to not demean, intrepid so they will not retreat, brave so that they might defend, and have learned principle of God's mercy, so that they might demonstrate with authenticity the love of God shown on Calvary.
