What the Bible Really Says about Homosexuality

Homosexuality: The Truth

November 8, 2006
No joy in New Sodom. Fair Wisconsin has struck out.
A statement by Pastor Ralph Ovadal, Pilgrims Covenant Church

Since last spring, homosexuals, led by the organization Fair Wisconsin, and their allies have been crowing that Wisconsin would be the first state to defeat a marriage protection amendment. But in spite of receiving boatloads of cash from national sodomite groups; in spite of running an aggressive, shameless campaign of confusion and deception; in spite of having the support of most of the mainstream media; in spite of recruiting a rouge's gallery of apostate clergy willing to spew blasphemy from the rooftops, New Sodom has suffered a humiliating defeat.

Why did the heirs of Sodom lose?

1) Fair Wisconsin et al. treated the Lord as unholy, unclean, and lawless. "These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes" (Psalm 50:21). Homosexual strategy included juxtaposing Almighty God alongside their abominable cause which His Word makes clear He hates. The Fair Wisconsin web site included what can only be called exhortations, replete with Scriptures, which spoke of the sodomite side as being Spirit-filled and their cause as being a Holy Spirit birthed revival. Working against the amendment was said to be living out one's Christian faith, standing firm in the faith, and following Jesus. Those who fought against the amendment were walking in the footsteps of the Apostles and heroes of the faith, such as Martin Luther. Supporters were told that Jesus would work hard to get out the vote against the marriage amendment. Fair Wisconsin virtually dared the Lord to curse their cause.

2) A foundation was laid for this victory long before it occurred. For many years, PCC has been saturating the grassroots of Wisconsin with the uncompromised truth about homosexuality and, for the past several years, also the truth about the marriage amendment. Others, especially in recent years, have also played an important part in winning the hearts and minds of the people of Wisconsin. It is sheer folly to take a defensive posture when contending for life, liberty, and morality. Long years of uncompromised, offensive action are what laid the groundwork and prepared the way for the passage of the marriage amendment.

3) Arrogance and overconfidence cost the sodomites dearly. Homosexual whining, lying, and bullying—all of which reached a fever pitch in recent months—have grown old with many Wisconsin citizens. They are no longer buying the victim line; they do not appreciate being lied to; and they have had it with being told they are sick criminals (homophobic) simply because they believe some things are right and some things are wrong.

4) The marriage amendment was straightforward, well-written, and uncompromised. It bans not only so-called same-sex marriage but also look-alike civil unions. This is a repudiation of those who insisted that only a ban on ss marriage could pass and that it was important not to ban civil unions to ensure marriage itself would be protected.

How will this defeat affect New Sodom?

Sodomite strategists spent millions and tried every dirty trick in their playbook, but the people of Wisconsin have sided against them. The people have shrugged off the yoke of homosexual intimidation and shaming to hand New Sodom its first major political defeat in Wisconsin in over twenty-five years. The spell has been broken; the glass ceiling has been shattered; the people of Wisconsin have been liberated. They have stood up against the screaming midget that had them cowering in the corner, apologizing for heart-felt emotions ranging from unease to disgust in reaction to homosexual behavior. The vast majority of the people of Wisconsin who do not approve of homosexuality now realize they are the majority. They have awakened this morning feeling good about handing New Sodom a defeat, and they don't really care if liberal talk show hosts and sodomite strategists shrilly accuse them of being near relatives of Adolf Eichmann.

The sodomites must now feel a bit like a lion tamer whose lion just decided not to be any longer intimidated by a flimsy chair and a whip wielded by a weakling who is suddenly looking less like a master and more like a lunch. And matters within the city limits of New Sodom are bound to be a mess as well about now. From the start of the effort to force homosexual "marriage" on America, there have been many dissident voices within gaydom which condemned the strategy. Many felt it was too soon for such an effort; others felt it was the wrong place to spend so much time and money. Given the emotional and spiritual makeup of the homosexual community in Wisconsin and the massive defeat that community has suffered, it will now be torn apart by recriminations, depression, and internal bitterness. The homosexual juggernaut—or should we say panzer?—has been brought to a stop, at least momentarily. The forces of morality and law have made an Inchon landing. But it would be foolish, and dangerous, to sit on the beachhead savoring this victory. There is no better time to press the attack as when the enemy is confused and demoralized.

What now?

The passage of the marriage amendment should signal the beginning of more such offensive actions in the legislature. Many people in Wisconsin are disgusted, even furious, with the disgraceful, deceptive campaign tactics employed by the sodomites. During our public witness on behalf of the amendment, even many non-Christians expressed such emotions and opinions to us. The heart of New Sodom has been revealed; the heart of the Lord's people has been strengthened; the heartland of Wisconsin has spoken; and now the time is ripe to launch a well-done campaign to repeal Wisconsin's hate crime enhancement laws. Such laws are unconstitutional and nothing less than the precursor to hate speech laws, which would criminalize dissent from the homosexual party line, including preaching the biblical truth about homosexuality and eventually preaching the gospel itself. In closing, I urge state legislators who care about liberty and equal justice under the law to introduce legislation to repeal Wisconsin's hate crime statutes.
