The Bulletin of Seventh Assembly of the WCC in Canberra, "Assembly Line", has more than once published texts expressing solidarity with homosexual ecumenists, thus trivializing the Sodomite sin and representing it as a norm [516].
It would be interesting to know whether the appeal of homosexuals and lesbians to speak out in their defense as well as in the defense of the oppressed victims of racism, aroused compassion and response in the hearts of "Orthodox" ecumenists who came to Canberra [517]. (By the way, to speak of the "discrimination" against sodomites, who are widely publicized and supported by all political powers and mass media of the apocalyptic "New Order", is ridiculous, to say the least.)
This appeal, printed on the second page of the Bulletin of the Seventh Assembly [518] stated that homosexuals were represented by a delegation headed by the senior "priestess" Nancy Wilson jointly with "pastors" Keith Cherry and Steve Peters, members of the
International Organization of Homosexuals and Lesbians attached to the Council of Churches (!) [519]
The Seventh Assembly of the WCC lavished special attention on the sodomite perverts. Several times its publications announced not only their joint supper, but also... the
"mass" for homosexuals, lesbians and all who supported them. Nor were the ecumenists ashamed to announce the theme of this "mass": "Come Holy Spirit, Set Us Free" [520].
The contemporary apostates want to change Christian morality by the application of the vicious principle of "comprehensiveness" [521] and permissiveness. In the press, including ecclesiastical publications, one reads, with increasing frequency, information on the "Christian" (sic!) union of homosexuals. In earlier times only the representatives of the Anglican Church would write about such matters without the fear of God. Today, the "marriages", or cohabitation of sodomites are discussed openly and with approval by the all-tolerant Protestants, Roman Catholics and the "Orthodox" ecumenists, particularly those from Finland [522]. When propagandizing this disgusting sin, which was branded by the Holy Apostle Paul as
"vile affections" (Rom. 1, 26), the ecclesiastical seducers dare to publish books with the "rite"... of homosexual marriages! These false teachers, "inventors of evil things" undoubtedly "know the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death" according to the same Apostle (Rom. 1, 30-32), and not just death, but
eternal perdition!
The servants of Satan want to plunge as many people as possible, particularly young ones, into the infernal fire of this unnatural passion, from which it is almost impossible to escape. For this purpose they do not disdain to propagandize this depravity by all available means including "children's porno" on the Internet. The homosexual blasphemers go even as far as to interpret certain passages of Holy Scripture in their favor invariably "forgetting" about Sodom and Gomorrah ....
When human nature is infected by the sodomite sin and becomes accustomed to it, it is severed from God and practically irreversibly attaches itself to evil. It is not without reason that, according to Holy Scripture, sodomy is considered to be among the
most serious, mortal sins, the perpetrators of which
"shall not inherit the kingdom of God"
(1 Cor. 6, 9-10), since it is impossible to
"drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils" and unthinkable to
"be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils" (1 Cor. 10, 21).
The apostatic tolerance poses as "Christian love" and "justifies not only all kinds of dogmatic false teachings, but the most degrading moral crimes!" [523] And yet, the contemporary defenders of "sexual minorities", as these degenerates who are wallowing in vices are now euphemistically called, should remember God's judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah, which were wiped out from the face of the earth.
The Holy Scripture (Gen. 18, 20-22; 19, 1-29) provides a clear answer to the problem of homosexualism. The Church regards it as a mortal sin, i.e. one which leads to eternal perdition. Therefore, any attempts to excuse sodomites "biologically", "genetically", "socially", or in any other way, are futile and perilous for the soul. The general permissiveness of the contemporary world, which attempts to legitimatize abomination and sin, is the
permissiveness of people heading for destruction! |
