The Rape Of The Civil Rights Movement

The Rape Of The Civil Rights Movement

By Bishop Wellington Boone

Published: February 04, 2010

I am offended as a black man that gays, or what the Bible calls “sodomites,” would make a civil rights issue out of their sexual preference. This is a rape of the American Civil Rights movement.

God made me black. I cannot change the color of my skin, which to God is something good, but sodomites can change their perverse sexual behavior, which God calls an abomination.

“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” —Leviticus 18:22

What blacks have gone through to gain their freedom relates to their culture and race. What gays are dealing with relates to their behavioral preferences and a desire for sex.

There is no biological evidence that homosexuality is inherited. There is no identifiable gene for homosexuality. It is   a sexual preference, not a permanent state. You can find examples of homosexuals who were converted and are now married to someone of the opposite sex, but no black person ever became a white person.

The drive of blacks for equality was called a “civil rights” movement, but the justification for striving to regain our rights was the fight for inalienable rights that come from God and are guaranteed by our founding documents. Some laws and practices in America were contrary to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution with its Amendments, and we sought a legal remedy.

Civil rights are those granted by man. Inalienable rights are those granted by God. When the laws of man conflict with the laws of God, I’m standing with God.

Blacks who were enslaved and killed had not broken any of the “laws of nature and of nature’s God.” They were entitled to live as free citizens, but their just rights had been taken away by unjust laws. Sodomites are people who willfully break the laws of God. The two situations are not at all equal.

Black Americans have endured significant bondage and destruction at three crucial points in history:

  • Slavery
  • Margaret Sanger and the creation of Planned Parenthood
  • The gay and lesbian movement

Black men and women have a disproportionate number of AIDS cases, with 36 percent of those diagnosed from 2001-2004 being African-American.1

Many blacks, including black ministers, are dignifying what the gays are saying instead of rejecting it outright as an abomination against God, totally contrary to Scripture and the movement.

“And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.”—1 Kings 14:24

The legal term “sodomy,” which includes the illegal, perverted behavior of same-sex relationships, including oral and anal sex, comes from the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 18-19.

The Bible uses these words to describe homosexual sex (including any sex outside of marriage):

  1. Abomination—Leviticus 18:22; 20:13
  2. Corruptible men—Romans 1:20-32
  3. Uncleanness—Romans 1:24
  4. Will not inherit the kingdom of God—1 Corinthians 6:9-14
  5. Lawless—1 Timothy 1:8-11
  6. Men who become like Sodom and Gomorrah through fornication and sexual perversion—Jude 7

Additionally, If you followed same-sex marriage to its logical conclusion, it would bring an end to our society as we know it. It would mean the annihilation of the human race. Gay marriage is the opposite of the nuclear family as God created it.

If it’s all right to define marriage as a man lying with a man and a woman lying with a woman, then let there be no mixing of the sexes, because when you want to have a child, guess what you have do? You mix the seed of a man with the seed of a woman. I thought you didn’t want anything to do with the woman or the man? Don’t change your mind about what you want to do. Do it all the way. If you do it all the way there will be no children. We better wake up.

When God said in Genesis 1, “Let Us make man in our image, after our likeness,” He also said, “It is not good that man should be alone. Let Us make a helpmate for him.” The helpmate was not another man. The helpmate was a woman. God said a woman would come together with the man, not a man with the man.

  • God created a woman as the helper for the man—Genesis 2:22-24.
  • The man is responsible for his wife and family. “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel”—1 Timothy 5:8.
  • When men lie with men, and women lie with women, if they don’t yield to God and stop their behavior, He gives up on them. “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections”—Romans 1:26.

God created the nuclear family. It is the devil’s goal to disrupt the family.

  • We are being forced to redefine the family, when God has already told us in the Bible how to define the family.
  • Adam declared in Genesis what a family would look like—a man would leave his father and mother and the two would become one—Genesis 2:24. The weight was on the man to take responsibility for his wife and home following God’s creative order.
  • Gay men and women are trying to justify a behavior based on lust by making it legal. Gay “marriage” makes a home unfit for saint or sinner.
  • The home should represent the relationship between Christ and the Church—Ephesians 5:32.

The Church must now take a stand for God according to the Scriptures and refuse to allow the advance of sin which, if left unchecked, would result in the ultimate destruction of society from within.

In the Nordic countries, after laws were passed to legalize same-sex marriages, social scientists documented the effects   on the deterioration of the heterosexual family. For example, in Sweden, 70 percent of first-born children are now born out of wedlock.2 In those nations there is a growing separation between the concepts of marriage and parenthood.  More couples never marry and marriage is seen as something for adult pleasures, not for procreation and raising children.

There is no question that God loves people who have sex with those of the same gender. Jesus died for them. God so loved the world that He died for the whole world. He already established that the value of every person is exactly the   same because He shed His blood for everyone, but there is a difference between the love of God and the standard of God. For some reason we get confused when we are dealing with standards. I’m going to stand on what God stands on, and not backing down.

Christ calls us to holiness and a consecrated lifestyle. We are called to be like Jesus in every thought, word, and deed.

  • “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”—Romans 8:29
  • “Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children.”—Ephesians 5:1
  • “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.”—Ephesians 5:25
  • “Be ye holy; for I am holy.”—1 Peter 1:16

It’s time for men and women of God to take a stand where God stands, and restore righteousness to the earth.

Stand on your convictions

Gays have no right to redefine marriage or to pressure politicians to redefine it contrary to God and His Word and opposed to centuries of American jurisprudence.

I once had a political candidate ask for my advice if he were elected mayor of his city. I responded, “Number one, stand on the basis of your convictions, not your preferences. Those are the things that you would die for. If you won’t die for anything, you have nothing to live for. “Number two, be willing to be a one-time mayor. If you stand on your convictions and you don’t get reelected, it doesn’t matter. You stayed righteous and you didn’t back down.

“Number three, live in such a way that you are always willing to face God, and you know that you will hear these words,   ‘Well done, My good and faithful servant.”

Here are some positive steps to take:

  1. Get the information you need to take a stand based on a conviction. If you’re a Christian, the Bible should be your source book.
  2. Make gay activism an issue of serious prayer personally, with your friends, in your church, and in your associations.
  3. Discover the difference between a civil right granted by man and an inalienable right granted by God.
  4. Understand the spiritual and natural costs of a sodomite lifestyle.
  5. Look at the historical laws of this country dealing with sodomy and see how they could apply today.
  6. Find out about the voting record of your senators and congressman and call or write them if their votes differ from your convictions.
  7. Email this article and others like it and send it out or give it to people who could benefit from this information.

“Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the   Spirit of our God.”—1 Corinthians 6:9-11 NKJV
