Subject: Re: Homosexuality

    From the July-August 1992 newsletter.

    They offer up a reason that homosexuality is mentioned in their
articles. If not anything else, it gives a reason that they find
homosexuality wrong.

    "HOMOSEXUALITY AND ABORTION" -------------------------------------->

    "Occasionally we are asked why our newsletter contains comments about
the issue of homosexuality. We have, on many occasions, drawn the
connection between abortion and homosexuality, and will do so once more.

    Homosexuality is unnatural and immoral because it separates the
marriage act from procreation. Homosexuals deplore the values they do not
share. Homosexuals, who would seem to have no use for either abortion or
contraception, know there is no more effective assault on the marriage act
and procreation than abortion and contraception. Therefore, they use
every means to destroy Christian morals and institutions, which includes
their assault on the sanctity of the womb.

    Perhaps there is no better example to demonstrate to our readers the
connection between homosexuality and abortion then the platform developed
by the homosexual organizers for the 1993 homosexual march on Washington
DC. The 55-point platform contains the following references to abortion
and to dramatically altering the traditional family structure.
Homosexuals demand:

    o - The right to control our own bodies.

    o - Unrestrictive, save, and affordable alternative insemination.

    o - Access to safe and affordable abortions and contraceptives
        without restrictions, on demand, regardless of age.

    o - Access to unbiased and complete information about all
        reproductive options available to all people regardless of age.

    o - Recognition and legal protection of all forms of "family
        structures".

    o - Recognition of Domestic Partnerships.

    o - Legalization of same-sex marriages.

    o - Legalization of multiple-partner unions

    Which brings up one of my verses: "For this reason God gave them over
to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the NATURAL function for
that which is UNNATURAL, and in the same way also the men abandoned the
NATURAL function of the woman and burned in their desire towards one
another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own
persons the due penalty of their error." Rom 1:27-28.

       Another article about AIDS, short, also talks about "natural".



    "AIDS HAS HUMAN, MORAL DIMENSIONS" -------------------------------->

    The dreadful scourge of AIDS is now casting its dark shadow over the
U.S. That this disease infects through intercourse and blood is a bitter
irony: "The life giving functions of human sexuality and blood which will
epitomize health and life itself, have become the roadway to death." Part
of AIDS' terror is that man inflicts a deadly disease on one another.

    AIDS is caused by the perversion of natural order. If natural order
is wilfully and continuously being upset, even destroyed, mankind is
destroyed. While we know that some AIDS suffers have been infected by
other than sexual means, there is no doubt that the vast majority of AIDS
cases are the direct result of sexual immorality. One may hope that a yet
to be discovered drug will solve the physical problems, but what, other
than full acceptance of God's will, can solve the moral aspect of this
problem? There is no public calling even from our spiritual leaders,
for those responsible for this affliction to return to God and moral
discipline.

    Well, for what they are worth.....

    I find that if God says something is good for us, then by George,
it's good for us. When God says "natural use of the woman", I know what
he means. I can teach this verse to my young children and don't have to
dig our a ton of reference materials to say what's being talked about.
When the Bible says a man should not lie with a man "as with a woman", I
know what's being spoke about. We just heard a good one about Sodom and
the angels. Either God is true, or He is a liar.

    I'm not perfect, but when I see that God tries for change, I change.
If God calls a man and woman "natural", then I have to think that is what
God wants. Paul says we can also abstain, and that is an acceptable
alternative, perhaps until God brings us a mate. God's plans are not for
our hurt, they are for our good.
