In Their Own Words: the homosexual agenda best seller

Their own words After the Ball by Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen (Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen wrote ‘The Overhauling of Straight America,’ which they later expanded it into a book, After the Ball — How America will conquer its fear and hatred of Gays in the 1990s, that was published by one of the America’s largest publishing houses (Doubleday) and became a national bestseller):

And when we say talk about homosexuality, we mean just that. In the early stages of any campaign to reach straight America, the masses should not be shocked and repelled by premature exposure to homosexual behavior itself. Instead, the imagery of sex should be downplayed and gay rights should be reduced to an abstract social question as much as possible. First let the camel get his nose inside the tent–only later his unsightly derriere!

Would a desensitizing campaign of open and sustained talk about gay issues reach every rabid opponent of homosexuality? Of course not. While public opinion is one primary source of mainstream values, religious authority is the other. When conservative churches condemn gays, there are only two things we can do to confound the homophobia of true believers. First, we can use talk to muddy the moral waters. This means publicizing support for gays by more moderate churches, raising theological objections of our own about conservative interpretations of biblical teachings, and exposing hatred and inconsistency. Second, we can undermine the moral authority of homophobic churches by portraying them as antiquated backwaters, badly out of step with the times and with the latest findings of psychology. Against the mighty pull of institutional Religion one must set the mightier draw of Science & Public Opinion (the shield and sword of that accursed “secular humanism”). Such an unholy alliance has worked well against churches before, on such topics as divorce and abortion. With enough open talk about the prevalence and acceptability of homosexuality, that alliance can work again here.

So this campaign has worked well but for one big reason: the spiritual condition of the American churches. The "moderate" churches are those that deny the absolute authority of Scripture for all things pertaining to life and godliness, who instead see "science" and the world's philosophies (evolution, psychology, gnosticism) as the means by which they can obtain spirituality (not true eternal life through the Person and work of the Lord Jesus  Christ, but rather a form of "godliness" but they deny its power (2Tim. 3:5) ). Without the denial of the absolute authority of Scripture, there would be no "moderate "church. "Moderate" is another word for "fake". Moderate churches, because they reject the lordship of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Scriptures as fully and solely authoritative, they therefore are not true biblical Christian churches as defined by Scripture. Moderate churches are easily pliable to secularism because they accept secularism's many theologies.

The lack of biblically faithful pastors in the puplits who faithfully teach and preach the Scriptures is the other problem. With a famine for God's Word and a famine of biblical pastors, the world will waltz its way in and attract most people. Remember, the road to eternal life is narrow and few that find it (Matt. 7:14).

As Satan did in the Garden of Eden with Eve, he attacks Scripture and casts doubt upon it and the character of God, as he tries to entice people with a "higher" "better" knowledge that he tells people we don't have and that God neglected to give us. He promises freedom as he seduces the mind and then the heart, but in reality he is enslaving them to himself (2 Peter 2:18-20).

The only thing that stands in the way of accepting any part of sodomy is the Triune God and His Word. Since God is the Creator of all things and has already spoken what is appropriate and inappropriate behavior and relationships, along with what is sin and what is righteousness, He is the sole One with Whom the world hates to bow to. The war of the sodomy agenda isn't really with biblical Christians, folks, its with our triune God of Scripture, the HOLY One of Israel. We are the battlefield on which the war is waging. But we who are in Christ Jesus mus stay loyal to Him alone and His Word and not capitulate one inch to the enemy. Instead, we hold fast to the unwavering truth and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ,warning them of eternal damnation if they refuse to submit, love, and worship Him and forsake their sins.
