Hate/Fear/Ignorance/Bigotry

These four words are used by homosexuals (LBGHTQ+) to attack anyone (specifically Bible-believing Christians) who opposes their purpose: practicing their deviant lifestyle freely out in the open and spreading their message of ‘sexual freedom’ (and now gender choice), especially to children. The homosexual ‘community’ still claims to be persecuted victims of unlawful discrimination. But facts show they use their political power and agenda (thru laws and liberal politicians) to silence their opponents, calling them “fear” mongers.

However, these four words have been manipulated and twisted by this ‘community’ for maximum political effect to defend their objectives which are sexual in nature. Biblical morality is not recognized, because as modern-day pagans the Bible is not important and irrelevant. Their beliefs are based upon the foundational principle of atheistic evolution: i.e. there is no God and no absolute standards of moral right and wrong. To them, ‘truth’ is relative–if there even is any truth at all.  But let’s consider an answer for each word they use in their attack arsenal.

Word #2 is FEAR.

The homosexual movement claims that their adversaries spread fear about them. But they don’t define fear of “what” or how such alleged fear is spread. But based upon medical evidence, if anyone needs to be fearful it’s people who live a lifestyle where STDs and HIV/AIDS have a high probability of infecting them, destroying their health, and ultimately killing them. HIV weakens and slowly destroys the body’s immune system. Neurological complications may result not only from damage caused by the virus itself but also from other side effects of HIV and AIDS, such as cancers that are associated with these diseases. A survey from 2011 indicated that 83% of the homosexual men surveyed estimated they had had sex with 50 or more partners in their lifetime, 43% estimated they had sex with 500 or more partners; 28% with 1,000 or more partners. These numbers alone should indicate that the probability of being infected with HIV/AIDS is something that should indeed be feared.

From the earliest days of the HIV epidemic beginning in 1981, gay and bisexual men have been among the hardest-hit groups in the United States. While gay men make up approximately 2% of the U.S. population, they account for two-thirds (66%) of new HIV infections, a majority (56%) of people living with HIV, and more than half (55%) of all AIDS deaths since the epidemic’s beginning. While these statistics change, data from June 2021 indicates that there are more than 1.2 million people with HIV living in the United States as of that date, and there are more than 35,000 new infections every year.

News articles have shown that some militant homosexuals with AIDS have used their health conditions as a weapon to willingly infect a sexual partner. Now this kind of stealth criminal behavior should indeed be cause for fear to any advocate of this lifestyle or a participant in this perversion. People with no moral values don’t worry about telling the truth.

The Bible is very clear that when a culture abandons God, there are serious consequences, consequences that should evoke fear in everyone who willfully follows such a lifestyle. However, sin has so polluted humanity that “Although they know God’s righteous decree and His judgment, that those who do such things deserve death, yet they not only do them, but they even [enthusiastically] approve and tolerate others who practice them.” (Romans 1:32 AMP) 

The Bible says that fear is not to be part of a Christian’s life. “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” (2 Timothy 1:7) Self-control is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, and believers are commanded that “If we [claim to] live by the [Holy] Spirit, we must also walk by the Spirit [with personal integrity, godly character, and moral courage—our conduct empowered by the Holy Spirit].” (Galatians 5:25 AMP)

We have nothing to fear, but people who have rejected God and His Word, have much to fear—now, and when they die to face God’s eternal judgment. (cf. Hebrews 9:27)
