Homosexual President
A Christian website published a column saying that 2020 presidential contender Pete Buttigieg is “deserving of death.” What does that mean?
This biblical statement is based on Romans 1 where Paul lists a range of sins of which one is homosexuality as a serious sin -deserving judgment (as do all sin)
WHICH BIBLE VERSE IS BEING REFERRED TO HERE?
Romans 1: 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
YET GOD IS GRACIOUS
But God withholds judgment and opportunity, gives grace for repentance, is patient, for anybody who turns from their sin and turns to Christ. This is standard biblical theology. But time will come when this grace will no longer be provided - this will be judgment day that everybody will face.
Buttigieg has completely deceived himself by claiming he is a Christian who is gay. Charisma News, entitled “Gay Activism: The Death Rattle of a Nation” by Bert Farias that described Buttigieg as
“a male presidential candidate who has a husband whom he publicly introduces and even kisses without shame.”Pete Buttigieg said his marriage to a man ‘moved me closer to God.' This is a clear apostate statement that every Biblical Christian knows is false. It is like saying, fortification brings me to God. Lying and cheating bring me closer to God. Lust, envy, strife, murder (Romans 1) also bring me closer to God.
BUT WHICH GOD ARE WE TALKING ABOUT - NOT THE BIBLE GOD!
Farias, co-founder of Holy Fire Ministries, stressed to readers that “there is no gender called ‘homosexual’ or ‘transgender'” in the Bible, so being LGBTQ is actually behavior that people can – and should – stop engaging in.
“Some liberal non-Bible obedient Churches and clergy who have swallowed the lie of homosexual behavior being elevated to gender status are trophies of hell and Satan’s prized possession,” he wrote, calling religious leaders who don’t hate LGBTQ ideology “pathetic,” and called all LGBT that the forgiveness of God is available to all who repent of their sin and turn to God. But to celebrate your sin and defy God's word takes you away from God."
And all of this is more than bad, according to Farias. “When those who practice such things that are ‘deserving of death’ also approve of others who practice them,” it’s “God’s final signs of His wrath on a society,” he wrote, citing Romans 1:32.
“When millions of Americans applaud Pete Buttigieg and his ‘husband,’ it is the death rattle of a nation,” Farias wrote.
Farias cites Buttigieg saying that his relationship to Chasten “has moved me closer to God.” “Yes, the god he claims to be closer to is Satan,” Farias wrote, adding that Buttigieg has a “debased mind” because he’s gay.
