Kirk's New Moral World

This past week's Local New York Times/Scott County Record printed an article of a former Scott City resident, Andrew Kirk, receiving a scholarship from the Point Foundation. There is no source cited as to the article's origin. I say this since I am not at liberty to reprint the article, nor am I even able to give an internet link.

The article states, "'The Points Foundation provides financial support, mentoring and hope to meritorious students who are marginalized due to sexual orientation, gender expression or gender identity,' according to the Foundations website."

So here is a former Scott City student receiving a scholarship from an organization that flaunts God's Law in the most radical of ways. They go after our youth, and we simply hand our children over to them.

Kirk is quoted at one point in the article saying, "I grew up in a community where fear and ignorance dominated perceptions of homosexuality, and consequently, I didn't have any openly gay role models."

Kirk seems to have found a home with this group. One of the purposes the Point Foundation is "to identify students who are physically, intellectually and morally capable of leadership to play an influential part in the betterment of society."

Here is one place I must take issue. I have often wondered why those who take theologically liberal positions are allowed to make assertions while conservative Christian's are not. If I made a similar statement to this last quote in reverse, would I not be challenged at every point? No conservative Christian that I know says homosexuals may not be physical or intellectual. In fact, are they saying that one must be physically capable for the ability to be a leader, but that is a double standard we must review at another time.

The question is one of morality. In James White's and Jeff Neill's book The Same Sex Controversy, by citing liberal theologians and the many positions they have on key Biblical texts, they demonstrate that Liberals seek to make clear passages difficult and impossible to interpret. This is done purposely by those on the Left in order to cloud straightforward biblical texts. It is simply to make the Bible unclear where it is clear. In doing so, the Bible becomes a book that is not able to speak to our modern situations. God becomes a mute and His people become deaf and ignorant.

The problem with this kind of hermeneutic is that it requires the Christian to be on the defensive. Trying to justify a belief system while assuming the Liberal's worldview. This simply can not be done. To reject that God is able to clearly speak to His creatures in the bible is to embrace an irrational worldview. This is where homosexuality takes us...to irrationality. It is to be forced to believe in the impossibility of the contrary.

God's Law is clear no matter how difficult it might be for man to accept His revelation. In fact, Romans 1 tells us that Andrew Kirk's sin is sin. Since Kirk refuses to repent of his sin, since society intuitively recognizes homosexuality as sin (man is made in the image of God and therefore knows...), since the church must proclaim the Law/Gospel message, then those like Kirk must fulfill the passage's description. They must surppress the truth of God. They simply hate being reminded of their sin and seek to rid society of every reminder that demonstrates this to them.

Here is the real problem. In exchanging the truth of God for a lie, they must undermine the very system that gives rise to their liberty. Society simply can not live in a world where God is not allowed to define the creation He has created. If a vccuum is created then someone will fill it. By what authority will this someone step in? Might makes right and whoever has the might will be right. If God is not right, then some man and his man-made system will be.

How will homosexuality withstand a Hitler? How will it withstand a Stalin? How will it withstand Islam? It can not. A system that denies there is any ability to say there is no wrong can not in turn tell Stalin he is wrong. Stalin shot everyone that he feared would question his authority.

Now it could be that the homosexual movement is the next stalinist movement. Are they not seeking to silence free speech by refering to Biblical passages and anyone that preaches them as "hate speech"? Canada and Western Europe have already demonstrated where this is all leading. So Kirk's new morally better world will be one without God and Christians, and it will and must remove them by force.

Andrew Kirk's sin is not the unpardonable sin. If someone knows this young man, with gentleness and reverence, he must be called to repent of his sin and believe in Christ. It is in Christ where true forgiveness is to be found. It is in Christ where Andrew may come into a fellowship beyond anything that his homosexual friends may give him.

This is not a little matter. With the life span of homosexual males being reduced significantly to the 30s and 40s, this is truly a matter of life and death, spiritual life and spiritual death.
