Homosexuality is a Sin

It's shocking that many so-called "Christians" believe that homosexuality is not a sin. After this debate received national attention because of comments by Phil Robertson, some Christians announced that his comments were wrong. I am assuming that these people are the same liberal-minded Christians that believe abortion is not a sin.
Certainly, there are many subjects in the Bible that can be interpreted differently and are open for debate. But, the subject of homosexuality should not be one of them unless you are reading a different Bible that I am. I cannot understand how anyone could read these following verses and conclude anything other than, homosexuality is a sin!
Lev. 18:22 Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.
Lev. 20:13 If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
1 Cor. 6:9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders.
Rom. 1:26-28 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
After reading these Bible verses, do you see any possible way that homosexuality could be believed to not be a sin? Maybe I am missing something here, but the sinful nature of homosexuality is made perfectly clear in the Bible.
The next time a Christian tells you that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality, just have them read any of these verses and explain how they came up with such nonsense!
Of course, this does not mean that I dislike homosexuals or anyone that believes this act is not a sin. The Bible teaches us to love everyone and I believe this 100%. However, a sin is a sin; just as with lying or cheating. This is not for me to judge, but for God.

Phil Robertson Victory

I know that this blog is just a tiny pebble in a huge ocean when it comes to effecting the Phil Robertson victory over A&E's suspension of him in Duck Dynasty. But, because of the millions of tiny pebbles all over the world, we (as Christians) were a very big part of building the pressure that would cause A&E to cave and fold-in on their decision.
Of course, most people would say it was just because of the money, and Christians had nothing to do with A&E's decision. Yes, they are partially right! But, they must remember that money would not have been such a factor if Phil Robertson fans would have started dropping their support for him. It's because A&E had no idea that not only would Phil Robertson not lose support from his fans, but would actually start gaining more fans than ever before. Keep in mind, the reason why Phil Robertson stayed so popular is because a overwhelming number of his fans are Christians and believe the same as he does. Another large number of his fans might not agree 100% with what he said, but support his 1st Amendment Rights to free speech.
I think there is another possible reason to why A&E did this. Maybe they are smarter than what most people give them credit for and this whole fiasco was planned. Could be possible that this was a PR move to make Duck Dynasty more popular than ever before? I bet the highest rated TV show in history, is about to become EPIC! I know I can hardly wait to start watching the next season.
I would like to personally thank every one of you that joined this cause. God Bless You All!

Phil Robertson Commonsense

Something catchy and really likeable about Phil Robertson is what I call "Phil Robertson Commonsense." The liberal left want to try to label Phil as some ignorant "Redneck" that doesn't know what he's talking about; however, the truth is Phil is a very smart college educated man. On top of this, his commonsense and cool approach to explaining the way he believes is making the liberals look like a bunch of idiots!
Just in case you haven't heard, here are some of the latest comments from Phil to the White's Ferry Road Church of Christ in West Monroe, LA.
"I love all men and women. I am a lover of humanity, not a hater. I have been immoral, drunk, high. I ran with the wicked people for 28 years and I have run with the Jesus people since and the contrast is astounding. I tell people 'You are a sinner, we all are. Do you want to hear my story before I give you the bottom line on your story? Commonsense says we are not going to procreate the human race unless we have a man and woman. From the beginning Jesus said, 'It is man and a woman.' Adam was made and Eve was made for this reason. They left their fathers and mothers and be united to become one flesh, that's what marriage is all about. Jesus will take sins away, if you're a homosexual he'll take it away, if you're an adulterer, if you're a liar, what's the difference? If you break one sin you may as well break them all" (Phil Robertson, 2013)
It doesn't get any easier to understand than that! I thank God for Phil Robertson and his courage to stand up to the liberals that preach tolerance, but have no tolerance for those that believe differently than they do. This is nothing more than a case of religious intolerance. Every Christian needs to stand with Phil and support him. If it's through boycotts or other ways, find a way to show the world that Christians will not allow the persecution to continue any longer.

The Duck Commander - A Poem

 

The Duck Commander is a star from show called, "Duck Dynasty";
the most popular cable show ever, and all about his family.
It's about overcoming obstacles, and running their family business;
always promoting faith in God and salvation through Jesus.

 

It's about their lives together, and a little bit of hunting;
how these multi-millionaires, came up out of nothing.
The Duck Commander started it all, the family patriarch and entrepreneur;
the inventor of the duck call, that made their financial futures secure.

 

The liberals can't understand, why these rednecks are so popular;
will never comprehend it's because, they're opposite from secular.
It's because everything about them, is 'down-to-earth' and good;
no matter the situation, their faith always withstood.

 

They put faith in God, above everything else;
always staying humble and loving, and true to oneself.
The show is so popular, because it reminds all of us;
it's all because of God, if we are blessed with success.

 

So when asked how you succeeded, reply with righteous candor;
it's all because of God, just like the Duck Commander!

Thank God For Phil Robertson

It is so hypocritical that the TV networks are so quick to condemn Phil Robertson, a Christian that speaks openly and truthfully about his faith and what the Bible teaches is a sin, but they open their arms wide to a President that has lied to us over and over again for years. They preach acceptance of everyone, but are the first to shut down first amendment speech rights to those that don't follow their so-called politically and socially correct agenda.
If you haven't heard, Phil Robertson, one of the stars of Duck Dynasty was suspended by the A&E Cable Network because he openly admitted to GC magazine during an interview that he thought homosexuality was a sin. This is the same belief that me and millions of other Christians around the world believe. They act as if this is some crazy nut that is speaking gibberish. The only difference between Phil Robertson and most other people is he has the guts to speak his mind and tell the truth. Most other people would 'sugarcoat' the subject and may at most only say they don't agree with homosexuality.
Phil Robertson quoted the Bible verse that says, "... the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders" (1 Corinthians 6:9).
Phil Robertson also said, "I myself am a product of the 60s; I centered my life around sex, drugs and rock and roll until I hit rock bottom and accepted Jesus as my Savior, My mission today is to go forth and tell people about why I follow Christ and also what the bible teaches, and part of that teaching is that women and men are meant to be together. However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other.”
I believe any Christian that believes the Bible is God's Holy Word and must be interpreted as written; no matter if it doesn't go along with what society believes is "socially correct" must stand with Phil Robertson and let the liberal entertainment industry know that we will not put up with this kind of religious intolerance.
Phil Robertson did absolutely nothing wrong! He had the courage to say what most Christians and many Americans wish they too had the courage to say.
Americans should boycott all A&E programs until Phil Robertson is taken off suspension and apologizes for stomping on his 1st Amendment Rights!

Phil Robertson Abortion Speech

I had just recently started watching the popular TV reality series Duck Dynasty. Not that I have a fascination for watching what many might consider to be demeaning to some of Louisiana's population, but because I had heard on Fox News that the TV show was good wholesome entertainment that focuses on values and even ended every episode with a prayer. After watching a few episodes, I 100% agree! This show has to be one of the best shows I have seen that focuses on morales and values. It's like watching the Walton's, but on steroids! I absolutely loved the show!

One of the stars of this show, Phil Robertson, recently gave a speech that conformed my support for TV show and compels me to believe the people on this show are the "real deal" when it comes to their faith and beliefs. The characters of Duck Dynasty may look rough on the outside, but I think they just may have "hearts for the Lord" and be great spiritual role models.
Here is an excerpt from the Phil Robertson's speech:
"Listen, from the time you started inside your mother's womb, Thomas Jefferson had it right, ... you have the God-given right to life for crying out loud. You're this long (referring to the end of his finger). You're a week old inside your mother. They suck you out of there when you are about like that. You wouldn't be here tonight! And, when you got to be the size of my thumb, they suck you out. You wouldn't be here. Then, you grow a little bigger, like my fist - and finally eight, nine months later you come out ... And we debate whether it's a — some woman's right to tear you out of there a piece at a time! C'mon! You have a God-given right to live. And of all places, inside your mother ... what in the world happened to us?"
Amen brother! It doesn't get much clearer than that! If we don't have a right to live within the womb of our own mother's, then where do we have a right to live? And, what in the world did happen to America and the values our great forefathers founded this nation on? Just like brother Phil spoke of in his fiery speech.

 

I tell you what happened to these values! They were hi-jacked by progressive thinking. It is no longer politically correct to tell anyone that what they are doing is wrong. Even more politically incorrect to label actions such as abortion as a SIN that women will someday answer to kneeling at the feet of their Lord Jesus. The problem is we have stopped identifying and condemning sins and started accepting them as the everyday norm.
The Bible is clear and teaches us this:
Now the word of the LORD came to me saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:4-5

 

The whole debate around the legality of abortion is that a fetus is not a human being. But, God said he knew us before we were born, even in the womb. This tells me that God has a purpose for every life, including the lives that were not allowed to live because of abortion.

 

Abortion is a sin and it is murder. Do not be deceived and start calling abortion what it really is!
