Exodus International came on the scene with flare, as in flame, and has officially burned out. I do believe it was birthed in sincerity, but it lacked the fire of the Holy Spirit. Too many issues . . . It began as EXIT which probably says it all!
I've read the testimony of the founder who I now believe, refers to himself as a former-ex-gay. The gay agenda is so full of terminology for gender non-specifics, I just know I'm going to write something that is politically incorrect.
First, let me say. There are many sins that our Creator calls abominations, so we don't really need to think we'll be rewriting His Word over our choices. Not only are several things abominations, there is a list of heterosexual sins, too. I am openly heterosexual, but due to circumstances beyond my control, I am a disenfranchised heterosexual and that's just a fact of life. No special interest groups, no fancy parade, just living my life without human intimacy.
Regardless of my circumstances, I do not have the authority to redefine what Scripture says. I didn't write the Bible, therefore the Bible is not mine to edit or revise. Even if you want to believe it is not Divinely Inspired and was just written by men, it wasn't any of us; so we still do not have the authority to edit or revise. Now that we have that resolved, let's get to the heart of the matter.
Anyone who wants to start their own religion or belief system is welcome to do that, but you don't get to redefine mine! Another simple resolution. My social circle includes celibate gays, celibate heterosexual, as well as non-celibate acquaintances of both persuasions. If our society was not so rooted in sexuality, I truly believe many people would just live their particular gender assignment from YHWH, as in male or female, and prefer to not center their life around sexual activity at all. Oh, I know, the argument is about being with someone you love.
Well, all these years later, heterosexual adultery doesn't get a free pass, and perpetual fornication raises an eyebrow as well, if the woman is of child bearing age. The same President who now says his views of gay marriage have evolved, certainly hasn't had any evolution regarding adultery. Just ask General Patraeus. A woman can now be a single mother of one, and she's applauded for not getting a divorce; but two or more, there better be a Baby Daddy in the picture! We can't just all walk around driven by hormones and no conscience.
Let's talk parades here for a moment. The pictures of gay parades are blatantly decadent. Say there was suddenly a Golden Anniversary Parade and everyone who qualified could participate. We do not want to see any of that version of frisky any more than we want to see gay hoop-ti-la. I think much of society truly would prefer that sex went back to being a taboo subject, for everyone. This concept that marriage changes one's social status isn't just a gay agenda. Heterosexuals already established the trend to live together and be accepted as a couple, and have diligently determined the "special dispensation" for remarriage after divorce, but that doesn't change what the Bible actually says. I think when the gay agenda first presented itself, it was called an "alternative lifestyle." So, if gays want everything heterosexuals are doing, what's alternative about that?
There wasn't a closet for gays. Everybody kept their business and discussions privately behind closed doors or in whispers at the Beauty Shop. Back before PMS was invented and there were euphemisms for the word period, which is also a euphemism; the word penis didn't even exist in polite society, men just stood to urinate, and women in hushed tones had "that time of the month" or a "visit from Aunt Flo." What we have lost here is decorum and nobody is gaining acceptance. The failure of Exodus International doesn't mean G-d failed or changed His mind.
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the Word of our G-d shall stand for
ever.
