One
way to see if an act is of a good or of an evil
foundation, is by looking at the fruit that such act produces.
Recently
I asked a question to a group of people, and it was
as follows: "Which do you feel is the foundation
for [sexual acts between two people of the same sex],
good or evil? If you could give me reasons with examples, for
your answers, it would be appreciated." ---end of question
It was apparent that this question was the
right question to ask. The only way it could be
truthfully answered would be for a person to say that
unnatural sexual acts are of the evil foundation. The way
that the question was asked did not allow for a person to lie
and say that these unnatural acts are of the good
foundation because the follow up was asking for reasons and
examples for any answer. Fact is there are no reasons or
examples to support such being of a good foundation. (No
one could give even one reason or one example.) Another
way that shows how one can tell if an act is of a good or of
an evil foundation, is to ask the question, "Would God bless
it?" Two
women's shopping experiences: One-woman
shops and carefully picks out what she is going to buy for her
family's dinner that night. As she smells the fresh peaches,
she says to the produce boy, "These will make such a wonderful
peach cobbler. My children will love it." Walking up to
the butcher counter, she asks for the biggest cut of New York
Strip steak that he has. Later in the store, she squeezes
the bread to make sure she chooses the softest and hand picks
fresh green beans for her vegetable casserole. Smiling at an
elderly lady next to her, while placing a sweet onion in
her basket, she says, "My husband's favorite side dish is
scalloped potatoes." The woman proceeds to the check out
register, where she talks away to the cashier, telling the
cashier how the weather is perfect for cooking out and how
enjoyable it will be eating outside. When dinnertime comes
and her family is sitting around the picnic table,
the kids are teasing each other, dad is a little grumpy from
being over hungry, and she asks her husband to say a
prayer to God for blessings on the food. There is
silence, as everyone bows their heads, her husband says a
prayer, and they all then dig in to eat.
On
the other side of town, there is another woman. She, too, has
her family around the table. No one in her house says a prayer
of thanks for the food. They just all dig in. Earlier that
day, this woman was in the same store as the other woman had
been in. But, this woman shopped a little differently. She was
very quick, kept her head low, spoke to no one, and got out of
there fast, pretending to be looking for something in her
purse. When she got to her car, she got in quickly and
pulled a squished loaf of bread out of the front of her coat.
Pulling into her driveway, she finally managed to get a canned
ham out of the front of her pants and exhaled. Carrying
the bread and ham into her house, she tossed them both
carelessly on the counter and emptied out her deep coat
pockets. She placed on the counter a box of chicken flavored
rice, a can of corn, and some candy. Both
women had shopped that day, but only one could seek
blessings from God on the food that
was obtained. God
can bless heterosexual sex inside of a marriage. God's
children can actually ask for their sex with their spouse to
be blessed. Blessed sex produces good fruit; a couple
experiences becoming one, bodily and spiritually--their souls
actually unite as their bodies become one. Such an experience
repeated throughout marriage, causes a bond in a marriage that
stands the test of time. I highly doubt that two people
of the same gender could ever, during an unnatural sexual
act experienced a spiritual 'experience'
during intimacy that causes tears to flow in the
most peaceful way, which can only be compared to doves
flying free. Only the 'real' thing, which is completed with
parts that fit together, can produce such a real
experience. It
is not uncommon for people who realize they cannot turn to the
real God, while living in a bad way, to make up a god that
allows them to do what it is they want to do. These gods are
in the people's image, the people who make them up. These gods
are imitation gods, who condone imitation acts. The
people who worship these imitation gods and commit
these imitation acts, insist their acts are the real thing,
that the acts are simply different--as are their gods.
Imitation:
"it isn't fake anything; it's real synthetic fur"; "faux
pearls"; "false teeth"; "decorated with imitation palm
leaves"; "a purse of simulated alligator hide (www.dictionary.com) As
the song goes, "Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby. Ain't
nothin' like the real thing." Many people have come out of unnatural sexual
behaviors and have come to enjoy the 'real thing,' far
more than the 'imitation thing.' From what I have seen, such a
change involves the coming into a true and loving
real relationship with the true and loving real
God. Jesus
Christ is Lord God Almighty, The Risen Savior and only Way. He
stands at the door of fornicators' hearts and knocks. If
anyone lets Him in, He will enter in and sup with them. He
will cleanse them of all unrighteousness, they will be a new
creation in Him, and He will begin a good work in them that He
will see through to
completion.
