Why Does The Government Make Laws To Protect These Two Categories Of Behavior: The Effeminate and The Homosexual?
Such behavior is massive, substantial, and seminal because it destroys human identity, destroys marriage, destroys the family, destroys children, and destroys society.
Robert Lagerstrom, one of the leaders of the Hollywood [L.A.] Gay Pride Parade, had been told he was dying of AIDS. He didn’t want to die; he was terrified: “Where can I go? I’m afraid to die. Where can I go?” Some of Robert's friends answered, “Go to Grace Community Church.” He did. He found the help he needed at the church before he died. (Psalm 107:10-16)
There are evil forces at work in the U.S. that would make it a criminal offense to give Robert the help he so desperately sought after. Forces that would exploit legitimate concerns over dangerous medical practices as a cover for pursuing anti-religious agendas — more to the point, anti-Christian agendas. Forces that would erroneously dictate that "spiritual guidance" is really just religious speak for "conversion therapy."
As of this writing, 25 states and 100 municipalities have banned "conversion therapy." It is only a matter of time before some high-minded activists, "rights" groups, lawyers or legislators embrace their internalized, consuming hatred of all things Christian and endeavor to find an exception for "prohibiting the free exercise" of religion.
EXCERPTS: "Such Were Some of You", Dr. John MacArthur | 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 | Jan 16, 2022
"Now as you know, we have joined with some of our brothers in Christ to address the issue of biblical sexual morality on this particular Sunday, because the new law went into effect in Canada, Bill C-4, which basically made it a crime to offer to a transgender person or a homosexual person any kind of conversion therapy. It is a crime punishable by up to five years in prison to attempt to convert a transgender person or a homosexual."
"The wording of the Bill (Canada Bill C-4) is not only ominously broad, but seems to target God’s definition of gender and sexuality. For example, the Bill’s Preamble declares that it is a “myth” to believe that “heterosexuality, cisgender gender identity, and gender expression that conforms to the sex assigned to a person at birth are to be preferred over other sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions.”
"Now so far I haven’t heard about any laws that the government is going to make to forbid us from trying to convert swindlers, or trying to convert slanderers, or trying to convert drunkards or thieves. There’s no laws made to protect those people. But they make laws to protect two of these categories: the effeminate and the homosexuals. Why is the government doing that? Why has the government selected sins to protect? Why is that happening? Because the government is under the sway of Satan himself, and the damage done by these sins is massive, substantial, and seminal because it destroys human identity, destroys marriage, and destroys the family, and destroys children, and destroys the society. So the kingdom of darkness makes laws to protect the most destructive behaviors."
"Again, I don’t see governments in a big hurry to make laws to protect kidnappers or perjurers. Why are they bent on protecting homosexuals? What interest does government have in protecting a particular sin?
A previous administration of our government in America, there were 250 homosexuals and transgender people in the White House operation, and this current administration has exceeded that in just one year. Why are they specially protected? We don’t protect kidnappers; we don’t protect perjurers. It is preposterous to protect sodomites, and preposterous to protect them to the degree that they can prey on your children, to be seduced into that kind of life which your children are supposed to have the liberty to decide about without parental consent. That’s insane. They are given free reign as predators to deceive and seduce your children.
What interest does the government have in protecting homosexuals from the kingdom of God? Why is it a threat to convert a homosexual, to convert a transgender person? Why do they want to make laws to prevent that? Do they have a particular interest in populating hell with a certain kind of sinner? What business do they have in telling the church under divine mandate that it’s a felony to convert a sinner?"
"Sin destroys people, yes; it also destroys nations. And this nation, and any nation that makes laws to protect sin is on that same path to total destruction. Sin destroys—I’ll say it again—individuals, and it destroys nations because it invites down on its own head the wrath of God.
Romans 1 tells us what that wrath looks like. God gives a nation up. He gives them up to sexual immorality, Romans 1:24. And then He gives them up to homosexuality, and then He gives them up to a reprobate mind. You go from sexuality—a sexual revolution, pornography—to homosexuality, to insanity. A reprobate mind means you don’t even function. There’s no way back because you aren’t rational; you start making laws to protect people who are insane. 'Why do you say that?' Because they don’t know whether they are male or female; how insane can you be? That becomes in itself a judgment."
"This is not therapy; this is not a process. This is a divine event that takes place in a divine moment. It’s something that had already happened to them; it wasn’t in process. 'You were washed,' 'you were sanctified,' 'you were justified'—a decisive event in which God washed you, sanctified you, and justified you, the hopeless sinner.
Three words. First of all, if you’re a sinner, you need to be washed. It’s a compound verb—washed thoroughly, washed down to the bone, deep-cleaning. No matter what the category of your sin, you come to Christ and you will be washed. And then you’ll be sanctified; once all the filth is washed away, the Lord will plant His holy presence in your life. And then you’ll be justified; He will declare you righteous. You say, 'Well how did I get righteous so fast?' Because God will credit to your account His own righteousness. That’s conversion.
That’s why we exist. And no government will ever make any law that will stop the true church from being in the business of converting sinners.
You can be washed, which includes complete forgiveness. You can be sanctified, which includes being a new creation, becoming holy, as it were. And you can become justified in not a process and not a therapy; it’s a divine miracle when you trust Christ, trust in His name, and it’s the work of the Spirit.
How dramatic was this conversion? Go back to [1 Corinthians] chapter 1; we’ll end there. How dramatic was the change? Chapter 1, verse 2, 'To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling.' What? Did those effeminate, transgender, homosexuals, revilers, slanderers, perjurers become 'saints'? Yes. That’s how complete the conversion is. It’s a divine, miraculous transformation. In the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God, whatever your category of sin, Christ can convert you into a saint, washing all the filth away, giving you a holy, new life, and covering you with His own, everlasting, perfect righteousness. That’s the message of the gospel."
