Homosexuality.

Can be viewed as a genetic anamoly, that tells us that our society is not in accordance with God. The problem is that I see our society has persecuted homosexual behavior instead of re-evaluating the conditions of socitety that has lead to increase homosexuality. I can not get this scripture of of my head:

Romans 1-25; Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen 26. For this cause God gave them up to vile afflection: for even their women did change the natural use into that is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, mene with men working that which is unseemly, and recieving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

I have no better term at the time than genetic anamoly, but that sounds harsh in my ears, like they are a defect. The dumb thing to do is to treat them like a cancer or pack them in away in a closet. Even my use of "them" I find disheartening. I have homosexual friends that are very spiritual but have turned away from traditional forms of worship. I can not blame them I have been ill with organized religion. However, at this point of time I have a religion that strenghend my spirituality.

I think there is the homosexual and the learned behavior of homosesxuality. The treatment of homosexuality can be compared to cancer. The method has been supress/kill the homosexuals you prevent the spread of the diasease into society. The diasease goes into remission "back in the Closet" but, not changing society it returns bigger and badder. To compare homosexuality to cancer is a weak and bad comparision. I can only compare homosexuals to other humans. In my, understanding, there are alot of heterosexuals engaing in behavior that I see just as bad as a behavior trait found in the homosexual community "sleeping around," Sticks and stones! log jams in eyes, pin the tail on the donkey.

The part I want to focus on is verse 1 romans 25: To worship the creature more than the creator = God. The creature in this instance is the state. I like to believe the United State was formed to help bring about about Heaven on Earth. There is no doubt in the world that the United States is a Christian nation. As a child I thought: GOD, Family, Country. At times the relative importance was different. When I wanted a bag of army men Family was more a priorty than God. I think our ancestors where tired of the concept of give to ceasar what is ceasar give to God what is God, make a state in the name of God: The United States.

The day I heard a petition in the courts system of the United States is called a prayer, this was idolatry at its greatest. An arm of the state/beast/leviathan is answering prayers of the people. I have no idea when this was begun but I knew when I found out: I thought the creature has become God. My country the United States has been fighting to be a nation of God but is that the proper way. I read St. Augustine "City of God" and he said christians really had nothing to worry about when the city of Rome fell. The Christians did not concern themselves with possessions. In our fight to make this nation we have gotten stuff. We want to keep this stuff. We serve the state to keep our stuff,.

The stuff I love is not tangible: I Corinthians Chapter 12. There is a list of gifts that I will summarize: 1) word of wisdom, 2) word of knowledge, 3) faith, 4) healing, 5) miracles, 6) prophecy, 7) discerning spirits, 8) divers tounges, etc.

However, not all of us serve the state to keep stuff. Serving the State in the name of God helps the state, a whip on the beast. There is an ebb and flow between piety and impiety that I see in the Old testament and in western civilization. For example, Socrates was executed by the state for impiety. As a Christian that does not see paganism as valid I made the assumption he was killed for nothing, even to pagans to offend a God is a grave mistake.

When the state is inline with God I have no problem, when the state is not inline with God I have a problem. Trying to wrestle with a beast is absurd, but I wrestle with the beast because of the things I see around me. Homosexuality is everywhere in large cities. Are homosexuals a form of prophets that embody the fact that my nation is against God. How do I change myself for the benefit of the others. That is the will of the trinity. I am praying on it, along with alot of other things. I know with out the state i would not have my education, so I must do something for the state. Hopefully, I do self for God and others, that is what I pray for to be a good neighbor.
