A terrible tragedy happened in Florida in a Gay Night Club early in the morning at around 2 am on June 12th, as the Feast of Pentecost or Shavuot that is being celebrated from the night of June 11th through to dusk on June 13th, 2016 was beginning in Israel, and is celebrated around the world among Jews. This horrific mass shooting that killed 50 and wounded 53 has many Americans in shock, but many of them are MISSING THE PROPHETIC WARNING IN THE NUMBERS IN IT! First of all, the Number 50 is tied to the fact that TODAY is the 50th day called Pentecost (Meaning Fiftieth in Greek) or Shavuot!
This suggests that God sees this Pentecost as a time to OPEN OUR EYES and see the Judgment of God on the Gay Lifestyle and on SIN IN GENERAL, and especially on Obama's proclamation that June is LGBT Pride Month instead of the month to celebrate TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE! So this year, it is not a time for us to be rejoicing in our salvation in the Spirit that was given as a promise to all believers on Pentecost, or for mourning the 50 likely unsaved dead in Florida, but soberly coming before God in repentance and prayer to beseech Him to save the lost, and to forgive our sins through the blood sacrifice of His Son, fill us with His life-giving Spirit, and put our names in His Book of Life so we will be taken in the Rapture, which is fast approaching!
In addition, the Number 53 may be tied to Wednesday, June 15th, which is 3 days after the Jewish Pentecost. Interestingly, a Brother in Christ who is in his 80's, and has been waiting for the Rapture for most of his life told me that he had a dream in which he saw a gigantic shining male Angel in the sky dressed all in white and blowing a long golden Trumpet as the Rapture was taking place, and the entire world was shaking in a terrible earthquake in judgment as this was occurring.
At the same time as he looked up at the mighty Angel, he told me that he also distinctly saw the date: "JUNE 15" written in the sky, and he told me that he had a strong feeling that this was the date that the Wrath of God would begin, and that the Rapture may happen just before it. So perhaps it will be sometime between now and June 13th or 14th! I don't know if his dream was meant to be referring to this year or not, or if he interpreted his dream correctly or not, but I trust and respect this brother of mine in Christ, and I think his dream date is interesting in light of yesterday's events, and also may be meant to serve as another warning that we are on the brink of the Great Tribulation, and we all need to get ourselves right with God NOW, before it's tool late!
So stop complaining against God and stop judging me, and start repenting and seeking Christ's forgiveness, or YOU WILL BE LEFT BEHIND like the Foolish Virgins in the Parable of the Ten Virgins when the Rapture does come. Even if it isn't this weekend or next week, or this year or next, the Rapture will nonetheless be very, very soon because the Signs of Christ's Coming are escalating all around us, and only the spiritually deaf and blind cannot hear or see them!
MARANATHA, and God bless you all!
A BIG PS: The above post was written on Facebook in response to another post that I made earlier in the morning on the first day of Pentecost or Shavuot that was widely attacked, and met with outrage by people who either support the Gay lifestyle and are not believers, or who simply do not think God is passing judgment on mankind, and especially on America, through this mass shooting. Below, I've posted that post that caused so many to both attack and defend me on Facebook, and which also caused me to write the above post afterward as a way of driving home the message that this mass shooting was definitely a sign from God. Incidentally, both of these posts were shared and discussed heavily on Facebook, so they are definitely serving to reach believers with the message to pray for and witness to the lost, and to convict sinners to repent before Christ comes for His Bride! So Hallellu-Yah for that!
INITIAL POST THAT WAS MET WITH CONVICTION AND DERISION: MAKE NO MISTAKE! GOD IS JUDGING AMERICA! ~ Over 15 years ago, when I began writing my Language of God Book Series, I wrote about the fact that Radical Islam and Islamic Terrorism were a Judgment by God because America and the once Christian Western Nations have turned their collective backs on Him.
This Mass Shooting in a Liberal Florida Gay Bar is clearly indicative of that during this month that once was dedicated to Traditional Marriage, but has been turned into an Abomination now that Obama has dedicated June to LGBT Pride! This terrible Judgment is the direct by-product of the Lax Morality now being promulgated in the Western Nations throughout Europe, the UK and the Americas, and it will only get worse as the end draws near.
God Will NOT Be Mocked! Either we will fall on our knees in repentance and change our ways, or God will smite us again and again with Judgment by withdrawing His protection and allowing our enemies to triumph over us. And if we still don't turn back to God, we will also soon be subject to His direct and unrelenting Wrath in the Great Tribulation!
Also take note of the fact that 50 were initially killed in this shooting and today (June 12th-13th) is the Jewish date for Pentecost! This could very well be a sign, and God is using that number here as another clear sign of Judgment because so many no longer honor His High Holy Days!

In the video linked to and embedded below, Brother in Christ Mr. Silva goes at a frenetic pace to show all of the incredible tie-ins that the Rapture has to both Pentecost or Shavuot, and the year of Jubilee ~ and since we are in a Jubilee year right now, this Pentecost beginning on the evening of Saturday, June 11th, and continuing through to dusk on Monday, June 13th, 2016 is looking very promising as a possible time that the Rapture could take place. But before watching the embedded video below, finish reading this short article!
As you watch the video, I wanted to call attention to the fact that the frightening ceremony that was done to celebrate the opening of that railway tunnel through the alps that is mentioned toward the end of the above linked to video was a ritual that is loaded with satanic Illuminati symbolism. This is likely why it was done on June 1st, 2016, which is exactly 10 days before Shavuot or Pentecost. This day is highly significant because it coincides with the day that Yahshua or Jesus ascended to Heaven in a type of Rapture. Again, June 1st was 10 days prior to Pentecost, or 40 days after the Firstfruits Offering in the Temple to Yahweh, which was also the day of Christ's Resurrection from the dead.
This means that those in the Illuminati that are ushering in the New World Order of the Antichrist are aware of how significant this day is in regard to the Church and the Tribulation Saints, and that is why they sullied it with their satanic ritual in that railway tunnel deep inside the Earth. Incidentally, since it is inside a tunnel, this new railway is connected to the occult idea of the sacred feminine, and to the Illuminati worship of Gaia, the demonic Mother Earth goddess of the Ancient Greeks!
Here is a link to an article about that satanic ceremony, complete with videos, and my commentary on it that was posted on Facebook:
~*~ BEWARE OF THE SPIRIT OF BAPHOMET! ~*~ This celebration of the Opening of the Swiss Tunnel through the Alps that was done on June 1st, 2016 is so full of Satanic Symbolism, it was unbelievable! The videos I saw were full of tie-ins to Satanism like the horned Baphomet figure dancing about, the winged LGBT figure with the owl face, and the shocking partial nudity, and sexual content suggesting alternative LGBT lifestyles, and it was disgusting to watch. It is full of outright displays of sexual immorality, demonic worship of wicked spirits, and the worship of mankind as a god.
This is another clear example of how close we are to the end of the Age of Grace. For those who say that no one knows the day or hour and we should not concern ourselves with watching for Christ's coming in the Rapture, I say open your eyes and see that this kind of filth is being shoved in our faces at every Gay or LGBT event every summer around the world, and this is a clear sign that we are in the violent, rebellious, God-hating, immoral and sin-filled Days of Noah and Lot, and that the season of the Rapture is at the DOOR! ~ Helena Lehman
Of course, no one knows the day or hour of the Rapture, but Mr. Silva shows that it could definitely be sometime this year, BEFORE the next Feast of Trumpets in the Fall or Autumn of 2016, which will end this Year of Jubilee. For those curious about how to calculate the next Jubilee Year from the Jubilee Year of the Fall of 1966 through to the Fall of 1967, I'd also like to share the following:
Because 1917 was a Jubilee year, and the year of the Balfour Declaration, and this year saw the liberation of Jerusalem from Islamic rule, and 1967 was also a Jubilee year, and this was also the year that Jerusalem was returned to Jewish rule, many make the following miscalculation to find the next Jubilee year: 1917 + 50 = 1967 + 50 = 2017.
The proper way to calculate the next Jubilee year should be as follows: Fall 1917 - Fall 1918 + 49 years = Fall 1966 - Fall 1967 + 49 years = Fall 2015 - Fall 2016. This means that this year 2016 - or 5776 on the Jewish Calendar - is the Jubilee year. So that is just one more reason why this year could be the year of the Rapture! Also, please read this page I linked to below for more information on why 2016 is the Jubilee Year, and why the Rapture could be this year:
In addition, if you have not already done so, please remember to read my revised article showing that the identity of the Beast from the Sea, and the Antichrist is DIRECTLY tied to the United Nations. I linked to it in a special post on my POEM Ministry blog on June 8th, 2016. Here is the title and link to it again:

“THE BEAST IS RISING, SO THE RAPTURE IS IMMINENT!”
is an expanded and scripture-enhanced version of an article I recently posted on Facebook and my ministry blog. It explores the connections between the Beast from the Sea, the Red Dragon, the New World Order, NATO, and the United Nations in relation to current world events surrounding Israel's peril while under the control of the current world Antichrist system.
Excerpt from the Article: As another way of identifying these seven heads or nations of the Beast from the Sea, Revelation 13, verse 3 tells us that one of these heads looked as if it was mortally wounded, but then it was healed. That was and is none other than Russia, which fell apart into utter ruin and economic collapse in its 1993 appellation as the USSR or Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and later was reorganized to eventually become the Russian Federation, which now has one of the strongest economies in the world under President Vladimir Putin...

On Monday, June 6th, 2016, the Spirit of God showed me an important prophetic connection between the description of the Laodicean or Lukewarm Church in the Book of Revelation Chapter 3, and the description of the Wise and Foolish Virgins in the Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew Chapter 25, and asked me to share it with my online friends. Before reading this, please read the Parable of the Ten Virgins and the description of the Laodicean Church in the Bible if you are not familiar with them so this prophetic word makes sense to you. You can read them by clicking on the blue text links in this paragraph. Then read the following that reveals what I was shown about these passages by God:
Those in the Laodicean or End Times Church that are described as COLD are doing their best to be believers, but are partly deceived due to poor leadership in their churches. They suffer from a lack of being encouraged to read the Word of God on their own, and to pray continually to God for help. They are dependent on their Church leaders, and feel powerless to do much to help others because they have not been taught of the power that they have at their disposal to enact change through Christ and His Spirit within them. As a result, God is not going to judge them too severely, or hold them completely accountable for their ignorance. It is their leaders that will be judged, and harshly when they are brought before the Righteous Judge!
Those who are HOT are the Wise Virgins of the Parable of the Ten Virgins that are known by Christ, and love and follow Him. The HOT are on fire for the Gospel, are faithfully preaching God's Word, and are showing the lost the compassion and love of Christ wherever they go. They know right from wrong, and how to apply God's Word to help themselves and others to make good decisions, and to do God's Will in their lives. The Hot are the humble, good and faithful servants of Christ that will not be found wanting at the Judgment Seat of Christ.
Those who are LUKEWARM, and who are classified as Laodiceans because of it, have heard the truth, but choose to love the world instead. They are fence sitters, and are not willing to commit their lives to Christ and live for Him alone. This means that they are apostates that choose to be against God by following after worldly lusts and the desires of demons, but still profess to be believers.
The LUKEWARM are the Foolish Virgins of the Parable of the Ten Virgins that Christ says He never knew or indwelled fully. This is why there is no oil or spiritual fruits and gifts in their lamps! For this reason, the lukewarm will be left behind when our Messiah comes for us in the Rapture to be refined in the fire of the Great Tribulation. The door being shut by the Bridegroom in the Parable of the Ten Virgins signifies the fact that the Bridegroom, Who is Yahshua or Jesus, will reject those who are Lukewarm or Foolish, and they will be excluded from His mercy and left behind.
This is why I say that those who think being a homosexual or sexual deviant is okay are among those who are lukewarm, and they will be left behind if they do not repent! The Rapture is coming very soon, so get yourselves HOT, or face the dire consequences of the LUKEWARM, who will suffer through the Wrath of God in the Great Tribulation!
Repent now, while there is still time!
Maranatha! Yahshua is Coming Very Soon!

IMPORTANT NOTE: This Article has been revised and updated, and was formerly entitled: "ALL SEXUAL SIN LIKE GAY/BAAL WORSHIP LEADS TO DEATH!" and this accounts for the conflicting URL.
Have you ever noticed how - judging from all the disgraceful photos of Gay and LGBT Pride Parades and public social events around the world - these "celebrations" are mostly just excuses to rub sexual perversion of all types into the faces of those who either are revolted by it and want to avoid it, or actually enjoy encouraging that sort of thing, and want to make it mainstream? So many of the practicing Gays at these events dress in kinky clothing meant for the bedroom and not on public display. But for some reason it is not considered to be indecent to do this at a Gay Pride event.
The image above that was taken at the large LGBT Pride event in Tel Aviv, Israel on June 3rd, 2016 reminds me of that scene from the "The Ten Commandments" with Charlton Heston. You can watch part of the shameful goings on at the foot of God's holy mountain in the video clip below, when Heston depicted Moses coming down from the Mountain of God with the stone tablets carved with the Ten Commandments. Sadly, after his 40 day absence writing down the Law of God, Moses found the Israelites having a lascivious party with dancing, drinking and sexual lust being pursued at the foot of the mountain, under the sightless eyes of a large golden statue of an Ancient Egyptian style bull-shaped idol:
What the Israelites were engaging in at the foot of Mount Sinai when Moses was away was similar to many Pagan celebrations to their gods at that time, which included imbibing in strong drink or mind-altering drugs and engaging in sexual immorality to varying degrees - either with Temple prostitutes or other attendees. This shocking and disgusting display of sin at the foot of Mount Sinai led God to punish the Israelites - although, like our Mediator before God Yahshua or Jesus does for us when we sin - Moses pleaded for God to show the Israelites undeserved mercy. Thankfully, God did so by lessening His judgment against the Israelites, and not killing as many of them as He originally indicated was His Will.
Below are more images from Gay Parades around the world. All of thee images show varying degrees of immorality, including lascivious and lewd behavior, cross-dressing, transgender transformations, scant clothing, and the use of the rainbow covenant symbol that God gave to Noah as a promise that He would not destroy the Earth by water again. However, though God won't use water to drown all the wicked like He did in the past, He is going to destroy the Earth with fire at the end of time, and He will scorch mankind with fervent heat before then during the Great Tribulation (2 Peter 3:10; Revelation 16:8-9).
Sadly, the majority of Pride parades feature such immoral behavior and indecent dress as to be totally unsuitable for children to attend, and they are definitely not fun for the whole family - unless your "family" consists of fellow LGBTs. Although most Gay Parades are similar to Mardi Gras (i.e. "Fat Tuesday") celebrations and parades with their scantily clad revelers, the Pride parades flagrantly display innuendos toward many different types of sexual sin that Mardi Gras celebrations traditionally did not contain, but are now doing so due to the influence of the LGBT community.
The photos below this paragraph represent the types of people and behavior seen at Gay pride celebrations all around the world, especially in Europe and the Americas, but also in Israel - which is following after the lustful spirit of Baal, as well as the Harlot spirit of the Woman who rides the Beast that is especially prevalent in the Democratic and Socialist Gentile nations. These demonically controlled spirits of lust and harlotry are leading many into grievous rebellion against God, and there are many who are participating in Gay Pride events around the world in the late spring. Often, these events are held just before Pentecost or Shavuot, which is when many born again believers are watching for Christ's return. But make no mistake! Those who revel in all types of sexual sin and immorality like they did in the Days of Lot and Noah WILL BE LEFT BEHIND when the Rapture or Catching Away occurs!
NOTE: To view the above photos in a slideshow at a larger size, click on the first one to open the viewing window.
After looking at these distasteful images of Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Pride, Believers in Christ should be appalled. If not, they must repent and ask God to help them to see this deviant behavior through His eyes, so that they can see how disgusting all sexual immorality is to Him. In addition, they need to see that these LGBT Pride events are being held around the time of Pentecost or Shavuot because this Feast of the Lord falls close to or in the month of June, which is the month traditionally assigned to the celebration of heterosexual marriage. So these Pride events are serving to desecrate all that God calls holy.
As a case in point, Pentecost or Shavuot is one of the most holy days on the Judeo-Christian calendar. Besides being a major Holy Feast on God's Sacred Calendar that has to do with the establishment of God's overlapping Covenants with mankind that express His love and compassion for all those who love Him, Pentecost or Shavuot is thematically and spiritually tied to the idea of the first harvest of the righteous who have repented and love God, themselves and others just as God loves us. This harvest of God's true saints will be completed at the time of the Rapture, which will mark the final ingathering of all the saints into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Thankfully, the whole nation of Israel doesn't celebrate Gay pride in Tel Aviv or elsewhere, and only a handful are likely from Israel or the other nations that sponsor these events. In fact, most of the Gays at these events come to celebrate from other locations, sometimes even from neighboring nations or continents! That's how the Gays, Bisexuals and Transsexuals in the LGBT movement push their agendas - by artificially inflating the number of LGBTs attending the festivals and making it seem like there are more practicing LGBTs in any given location than there actually are. They also want to make these events seem like public family fare that everybody wants to attend, when nothing could be further from the truth.
Now, do you remember how that bull idol scene ended in the 1956 movie I cited earlier? I sure do. Moses cast the stone tablets to the ground, which then hit the idol, and a fissure opened up and swallowed up and killed many of the revelers around that pagan statue. In reality, that isn't exactly what happened on that day. Rather, scripture says that - instead of slaughtering everyone that worshiped Baal in the form of the golden calf at the foot of the mountain, Moses called the Levites that were still loyal to God to slaughter several thousand Israelites from among their neighbors because of their disobedience. The fissure opening up and swallowing some Israelites among the sons of Korah came later (See Numbers, Chapter 16).
You can read about what actually happened when Moses came down from the mountain with the tablets and saw the golden calf in Exodus, Chapter 32, and make no mistake! God fully intends to destroy many by being swallowed up by the Earth during the Great Tribulation, when the Wrath of God will produce the biggest worldwide earthquakes ever recorded (Click number links to see Revelation 6:12, 8:5, 11:13, 11:19, 16:18). These earthquakes will destroy all the cities of mankind, and open up many sinkholes and fissures that will bury many wicked people under the rubble forever. So the movie version of that idol worship scene isn't really so inaccurate after all, and many people that are left behind after the Rapture are going to suffer horribly at the hands of God, and the Antichrist. Because, along with the massive earthquakes, there will be many other worldwide cataclysms that will destroy the many of the plants, trees, animals and people on the Earth.
As to God's stance on Homosexuality and all other forms of sexual perversion, the Scriptures listed below from Leviticus, Deuteronomy and the Epistle of Paul to the Romans are very clear about how God felt about it. In fact, these verses show that God is disgusted by sexual immorality of every kind, and He sees all of it as extremely sinful and unforgivable. In fact, there were no animal sacrifices that could be made to pay for these sexual sins, but rather an immediate death sentence was to be carried out upon conviction:
~*~ Leviticus 20:10-16 ~*~ “The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress, shall surely be put to death. 11 The man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. 12 If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death. They have committed perversion. Their blood shall be upon them. 13 If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination.They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. 14 If a man marries a woman and her mother, it is wickedness. They shall be burned with fire, both he and they, that there may be no wickedness among you. 15 If a man mates with an animal, he shall surely be put to death, and you shall kill the animal. 16 If a woman approaches any animal and mates with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood is upon them.”
~*~ Deuteronomy 22:5 ~*~ “A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God.”
~*~ Romans 1:22-32 ~*~ “Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. 24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.”
These sections of the Bible quoted above make it clear that Adultery, Homosexuality, Lesbianism, Bestiality, and Transsexual style Cross-Dressing are completely unacceptable to God. However, under the New Covenant of Grace that Yahshua cut with Israel on the Cross, mercy is now being extended to sexually immoral people who repent of their sins and stop engaging in them. For example, Yahshua's compassion, leniency and mercy toward the woman caught in adultery in the Book of John, Chapter 8 was an example of how born again believers should behave toward sinners. Indeed, Yahshua loves even the worst of sinners, and before executing a death sentence on sinners, Yahshua wants all of us to be given the opportunity to repent of sin and to believe in Yahshua's sacrifice for sin so that we can be forgiven and receive everlasting life:
~*~ John 3:14-21 ~*~ “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
In verses 14 through 17 of the above passages from Chapter 3 of the Gospel of John, we are told how our loving Father God has shown mercy to all who believe in His Son as their Redeemer, and have turned away from sin in order to love and follow Him. But then in verses 18 through 21, the passages also warn that all who reject Christ, and refuse to repent of their sins will not be forgiven, but will be condemned. The prophetic authors of the New Testament also make it clear that all sinners - including homosexuals - will not be allowed to enter the Kingdom of God during Christ's Millennial Rule and afterward unless they repent of, or turn away from their sins:
~*~ 1 Corinthians 6:8-10 ~*~ “No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren! 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.”
~*~ Revelation 21:7-8 ~*~ “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
The preceding scriptures make it clear that unrepentant sinners of all kinds including sexual deviants and homosexuals are not going to be forgiven. Still, if homosexual acts are taken at their most mundane level as a sin that is not worse than any other sin, the proper Christian response to Homosexuality and Lesbianism should be to hate the sin, but to love the sinner by helping them to repent, and to come to Christ for forgiveness so that they can develop a personal relationship with Him through His Spirit. In short, we believers are called to love, forgive and convict all sinners of their absolute need to be born again in the Spirit in order for Yahshua to heal them of their sexual sin, and other sinful tendencies, or they will not be forgiven.
The biggest problem I have with the idea of loving homosexual, transgender and sadomasochistic sinners into the kingdom is that it does not address the fact that true believers in Christ are often moved by the Holy Spirit to be revolted or disgusted by open displays of affection or suggestions of kinky sex between people of the same and opposite sexes. I know that I cringe and turn away, and sometimes even feel sick to my stomach at homosexual or sadomasochistic displays of "affection" that involve anything more than holding hands in public, and I believe that my response is not unusual for true believers. In addition, there are stern warnings in the New Testament that tell believers not to have fellowship with unrepentant sinners of any kind:
~*~ 1 Corinthians 5:9-11 ~*~ “I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. 10 Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person. 12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13 But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”
~*~ 2 Timothy 3:1-5 ~*~ “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”
Since believers are convicted by the writings of the Apostles, and by the Holy Spirit to have a spiritual aversion to various acts of sin including homosexuality, and we are told to flee from fellowship with all sinners just as the patriarch Joseph fled from Potiphar's wife, it does make us appear to be homophobic, and it can't be helped if we are truly following our faith. This doesn't mean we hate sexual deviants and other sinners or that we want to harm them in any way. We don't want to hurt anyone. But we also don't want to be forced to associate with unrepentant sinners if we don't want to.
Nonetheless, many Liberal, lukewarm and apostate Christians behave as if they are entirely unfamiliar with these stern warnings not to engage in sexual immorality and not to fellowship with sinners. For that reason, they are willing to embrace practicing homosexuals and transgendered people as equals, and to fellowship with them. These same people are also critics of the Christian response to Homosexuality within the Church and outside of it, and like to erroneously point to their belief that Christ never said anything against homosexuality - while ignoring the fact that He said plenty about the consequences of engaging in sexual immorality! Furthermore, because Yahshua Ha Mashiach or Jesus the Christ was God in human form, He was the physical embodiment of our Creator God, and served as His spokesperson throughout the Old and New Testament.
The Gospel of John, Chapter 1 makes it clear that Christ is both God and the Word of God made flesh - meaning that He is the God that spoke to Moses on His Father's behalf, and appeared to all the prophets and righteous men of ancient times as the Angel (or Messenger) of the Lord. This means that every word of the Law in the Old Testament, and every word in the New Testament prophecies that were inspired by Christ's own Spirit are His Father's own Word, whether or not the Apostles or Ancient Prophets were the ones who actually uttered them or wrote them down. What's more, Colossians, Chapter 1 tells us that - in His Preincarnate state - our Savior created the Universe for His Father, and that He is the ruler over every principality and power in creation!

As the Creator, Yahshua made humans male and female so that they could procreate. So, whether a man acts like a woman, or dresses like a woman, or both, and whether or not a man is operated on to appear to be a woman in all respects, or a woman tries to become a man, their genetic make-up will never change, and they will always be identifiable as a man or a woman on a DNA level. So, to all you folks out there who are saying it's okay to be Gay or Transgendered, and that God loves all the unrepentant homosexuals and transsexuals in this world because they were born that way, I think that you better rethink that statement. Because, under normal circumstances, God assigns all animals with a specific sexual identity at birth that cannotbe changed. Therefore, sexual orientation is biologically determined, and is NOT A MATTER OF CHOICE, and those who say it is have been sadly misinformed. If we rebel against God and revile His Moral Law, we can give people the right to choose to be a sexual deviant, but they will always be the sex assigned by their DNA!
I've written this article to make it clear that the current acceptance of immoral sexual deviation in the West is totally unacceptable to God, and all who want to be saved need to choose God's side before the Rapture, or they will be left behind! Furthermore, I've written this article as a stern warning that the acceptance of LGBT behavior is not a godly one. In fact, accepting this type of blatant sexual immorality could be tied to the Mark of the Beast, as I explain in the following article that I highly recommend reading:
After reading the article linked to above, believers should be doubly convicted that accepting any kind of sexual immorality is a bad idea! And for those so convicted,
Repent now, while there is still time!
