While they were enjoying themselves, a crowd of troublemakers from the town surrounded the house. They began beating at the door and shouting to the old man, 'Bring out the man who is staying with you so we can have sex with him.'” Judges 19:22 (NLT)
"Then the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, 'What is this wickedness that has occurred among you? Now therefore, deliver up the men, the perverted men[a] who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and remove the evil from Israel!' But the children of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brethren, the children of Israel." Judges 20:12-13 (NKJV) (Footnote: a) Judges 20:13 Literally, sons of Belial)
"The LORD defeated Benjamin before Israel. And the children of Israel destroyed that day twenty-five thousand one hundred Benjamites; all these drew the sword." Judges 20:35 (NKJV)
Judges Chapters 19 and 20 testify to God's view of the sin of sodomy and how He expects a nation to deal with that immoral behavior; or, He will judge that person and/or nation if the people in that nation allow the sins of homosexuality and lesbianism to continue.
Joseph Farah wrote in Whistleblower, February 2011; “George Washington...believed sodomy an ‘infamous crime’ that was to be abhorred and detested...William Blackstone, who wrote ‘Commentaries on the Law,’ once the very foundation of American legal jurisprudence...called homosexuality sodomy a ‘disgrace to human nature’...Thomas Jefferson...authorized a bill penalizing sodomy by castration. In New York, the penalty for ‘the detestable and abominable vice of buggery’ was hanging. Likewise, Connecticut laws required the death penalty. Georgia...the penalty being life imprisonment at hard labor. Maine, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Vermont all prescribed sentences from one year at hard labor to death...John Adams, the founder of the US Navy, said...We have no government armed with power capable of contending with the human passions unbridled by morality and religion...Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
This is what Jim Rudd, Director of Christian Street Preachers Alliance in Washington D.C., states concerning homosexuality: “Sodomy is not a light or transient crime, it is an abomination (Lev. 18:22). It is the culmination of man’s apostasy and hostility toward God and His Church (Rom. 1:18-32). For lawmakers and judges to approve of sodomy brings eternal damnation upon themselves (Rom. 13:2) and God’s righteous judgment of death on the society as a whole (Gen.19:24, 2 Peter 2:6). Therefore, such lawmakers and judges are not only anti-Christian by approving of sodomy; they make the civil government a vile cesspool from which the abominations vomit out across the land. By displaying such a contempt for the administration of Justice, such civil officials are not only the source of defilement (Lev. 18:24-25), they are the criminals (Rom.1:32), and a hostile enemy authorizing the destruction of the society in which we live (Jude 7). Not only should Christian men fight for the safety of their families by demanding that these civil officials repent, or resign from office immediately; Christians should be demanding the strongest laws and punishments against sodomy be put into effect so as to cleanse the pestilence from our society, (Lev.20:13). Sodomy is an abomination (Lev.18:22), and those who engage in sodomy are so vile that their very presence defiles the land (Lev.18:22,25).”
The above comments by Jim Rudd are blunt and come across as harsh. However, I feel that the truth about the views of God on this depravity needs to be clearly stated in order to wake up a lukewarm church who watches and listens and does nothing; much like Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah where the Bible records that Lot’s soul became vexed. In America we watch programs on television and listen to society’s views on homosexuality as an alternate lifestyle. Most Christians do not seem to be concerned or offended by the brainwashing and demonic attack on the Judeo-Christian values that we supposedly believe in if we are followers of Jesus Christ.
Jesus loves the sinner whether he is an adulterer, a fornicator or a sodomite, but Jesus also calls that person to repent and follow Him as Lord and Savior. Sodomy is a sin, and the individual is in rebellion against God. When a person reaches the level of engaging in homosexuality or lesbianism, they are victims of a lack of nurturing by their parents, usually a boy with his father and a girl with her mother. When the bonding is not developed, they turn to their own gender for gratification and fulfillment. In one case they are a victim, but in another case they are guilty of living a life in rebellion against God.
Most people know that sodomy is taboo in nearly every culture and religion on earth. The Bible also classifies it as an act of sin. The sad reality is that when people continue to go directly against Judeo-Christian values and beliefs, the spirit of Lucifer, the father of rebellion and death, grips them more and more until they hate the Holy Spirit Who is in believers' lives. They will assault others verbally, which eventually can lead to physical crimes against the innocent as demonstrated throughout the Bible, as well as in America today.
We need to love and reach out to sodomites to try to help them. We also need to evangelize them because their lifestyle is not only a danger to themselves and others, but it brings eternal death. God knows that this spirit of rebellion and death cannot be tolerated throughout eternity. Approximately three percent (3%) of the population in America are homosexual. Yet, eight out of ten serial killers are sodomites. These statistics further show that the average length of a sodomite’s life is 30 years less than a normal man.
America is facing a major health catastrophe over this lifestyle. The major news agencies, and the government itself, are neither alerting us to this fact nor making laws to protect the population from this plague. Proportionately, the sodomite community is much more violent and much less healthy; yet, we are not warning the general population in America of the dangers.

Medical Consequences Of What Homosexuals Do
"Throughout history, all civilizations and all major religions have condemned homosexuality. In the [original] American colonies, homosexual acts were a capital offense. Thomas Jefferson said that homosexuality ‘should be punished, if a man, by castration, if a woman, by cutting through the cartilage of her nose a hole of one-half inch in diameter at least .2.’ Until 1961 homosexual acts were illegal throughout America...This was taken from a six-page medical article which is graphic and brutally honest about what gays do and the diseases that result from their behaviors both to themselves and society. The different types of homosexual activities and the diseases associated with them that are covered in this article are: oral/penile sex, anal/penile sex, oral/ anal sex, urine sex, fisting/toys sex, fecal sex-eating-enemas, torture sex, public/orgy sex and sex with minors."

The Tragic Story of Jessie Dirkhising
"This is a nine page article that reports how a 13 year old boy was used as a sex toy while being tortured to death for five hours. Two homosexual men “bound the seventh-grader with nylon rope, placed a T-shirt blindfold over his head, and gagged his mouth with a pair of dirty underwear secured by a bandana and duct tape. After propping pillows beneath Dirkhising’s abdomen, Brown sodomized him with three fingers, his penis, a frozen banana, and a urine enema laced with the sedative drug amitryptiline while Carpenter watched, masturbating, in the bedroom doorway...In a post-conviction interview, Robert C. Balfe, Benton County, Ark., lead prosecutor, said, “The evidence shows the last thing that occurred to Jessie when he was alive was that he was being anally raped with the cucumber by Brown. Carpenter was so concerned over the aggressiveness of the rape, that he wrote a note to Brown telling him to back the cucumber out to 3 inches because it could cause ‘serious damage.’ They then duct taped the cucumber in Jesse’s anus and went to eat their sandwiches. I believe that this last violent act was more than Jesse could endure and he gave up and died...”

'Gay' hate vandalizes church, threatens even more violence ~ In the early morning hours, on the eve of a banquet designed to expose the homosexual activist agenda, security cameras on the campus of the Christian Liberty Academy, a school run by the Church of Christian Liberty in Arlington Heights, Ill., captured what may be a prominent example of an anti-Christian "hate crime". An unknown vandal or vandals threw chunks of concrete bricks through the school's entryway with a message protesting the banquet, which was planned by Americans for Truth about Homosexuality, or AFTAH, to honor pro-family activist and author of "The Pink Swastika", Dr. Scott Lively. Upon the concrete bricks were written the words "Shut down Lively", and the vandals included a note threatening more violence if the church and school didn't stop hosting such "homophobic" guests.

Conservative and liberal political positions both seek humanistic solutions and ignore the authority of the Scriptures. Liberals focus more on state solutions, while conservatives stress the autonomy of the individual. Both continue to erode the values of God and the character of people as they replace the laws of God with the philosophies of men.
Deut. 23:18: "You shall not bring the wages of a harlot or the price of a dog to the house of the LORD your God for any vowed offering, for both of these are an abomination to the LORD your God." (NKJV)
Rev. 22:15: "But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie." (NKJV)
Rom. 1:26-27,32: "That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved...They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too." (NLT)
God holds governments responsible for enforcing His laws, as explained in my book, “The Science of Judgment”. Democracy (the will of the people) is not scriptural. The majority of people rebel against God, wanting their own selfish ways at the expense of the righteous. This was true of Sodom and Gomorrah, Nineveh, the world in Noah‘s day and throughout the Scriptures.
America was meant to be a Republic under God, not a Democracy which ends in socialism where the majority want what others have without following God’s conditions to possess material prosperity. Finally, selfishness (democracy) is blind, and fools who have turned their backs on the truths of God come under a spirit of deceivableness. Eventually they accept the leadership of a dictator as their nation deteriorates under the laws and philosophies of men. (2 Thess. 2:7-12)
Today our government in America is in idolatry. It makes laws in direct opposition to the laws of God, such as those permitting abortion and protecting and encouraging the lifestyle of sodomites. As Jonah warned Ninevah, so we should be sharing truth without compromise concerning God’s attitude toward people and nations who engage in such abominable acts. (Please read carefully Ezekiel, Chapter 3)
