With the approval of the NY State Legislature and governor in legalizing homosexual marriage last week, the floodgates are already opening. The voices decrying the moral equality of anything gay are increasingly voices in the wilderness. Yet the numbers are truly, TRULY embarrassing. Let me show you:
In the Christian Posts’ “All Gay All the Time” essay, they stated “A Martian who visited modern America today might well think that half the population was homosexual-and the other half wished it were” and then backed it up with numbers. They wrote the statistic that only about 2% of the US population identifies itself as homosexual. And that 2% figure is already rounded up from 1.8%.
The population of the US is 311 million. 2% of 311 million is 6.2 million people. Taking aside objections that the homosexual population isn’t distributed evenly, for the sake of argument, 6.2 million divided by 50 states is 124,670 gays per state. Enacting a state-wide agenda because of the wants of 124,000 is disproportionate in the extreme!
Let’s look at Christians in America, every one of which should recognize that NOT all voluntary sexual relations are equal… and who should claim homosexuality as a sin … and homosexual marriage as against God’s model for marriage as shown to us in Genesis 2. Seventy-five% of Americans say they are Christian, which I don’t believe. We know that there is a huge apostate church that accepts homosexuality. We further know from the proportions of the saved vs unsaved in the bible that many are not truly saved (parable of the Sower in Mt 13). Further, there will be many who will claim to be one of the Lord’s children but aren’t. (Matthew 7:22). So let’s knock that 75% Christian figure down to 35%.
Thirty-five percent of Christians in the general population of America is one hundred eight million. 108 million who stand for opposite gender relations as opposed to 6 million who don’t. 2% versus 35%. If I was to use the generally accepted standard of 75% of the population being Christian the numbers get so embarrassing I don’t even dare to go further.
This tells us several things. First, Christians need to do a better job of maintaining biblical standards in their minds and hearts and mouths pertaining to the gay agenda. I’m not insisting we go forth in social Gospel activities. It is a spiritual problem, not a social one. Here is what CARM says:
“As a Christian, you should pray for the salvation of the homosexual the same as you would for any other person in sin. The homosexual is still made in the image of God — even though he is in grave sin. Therefore, you should show him the same dignity as anyone else with whom you come in contact. However, this does not mean that you are to approve of their sin. Don’t compromise your witness for a socially-acceptable opinion that is void of godliness.”
The same essay says: “Homosexuality is clearly condemned by the Bible. It goes against the created order of God. He created Adam and then made a woman. This is what God has ordained and it is what is right. Unlike other sins, homosexuality has a severe judgment administered by God Himself. This judgment is simple: They are given over to their passions. That means that their hearts are allowed to be hardened by their sins (Romans 1:18-32). As a result, they can no longer see the error of what they are doing. Without an awareness of their sinfulness, there will be no repentance and trusting in Jesus. Without Jesus, they will have no forgiveness. Without forgiveness, there is no salvation.”
In listening to John MacArthur the other day, in his sermon about Jeremiah “Prophetic message for an ungodly nation” (GREAT SERMON!) he mentioned a lot of people wonder if America is under judgment. There is the famous quote from Billy Graham, ‘If God doesn’t judge America he needs to give an apology to Sodom and Gomorrah.’ We expect judgment. Yet, we don’t see brimstone falling, nor earthquakes ravaging, nor thunder booming. Where is the judgment? MacArthur said that the Romans verse (quoted & linked above) is a judgment. God gives them over to their perverse lusts. So, how can a disproportionate population of 1.8% push an ungodly agenda onto a population of 311 million, 75% of whom claim to be Christian?? God’s judgment. He gave us over.
