NEW ORLEANS DISASTER REPEAT? COULD BE
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
There are those moralists who conclude that Katrina just didn’t happen. There was a divine hand in it.
New Orleans for decades has turned into a repeat of Sodom and Gomorrah. Homosexuals had planned another "Southern Decadent" celebration for Labor Day weekend 2005.
Moralists conclude that God in his mercy permitted the homosexuals to witness the hurricane devastation as a divine warning. If that is true, God was giving homosexuals another opportunity to repent of their wickedness and so return to the godly lifestyle laid out in the Bible. (See footnote).
The Bible states that God’s mercy is beyond our fathoming. However, there is a line that when crossed equals God’s wrath come upon a stubborn mortal bend. Many reason that Katrina was witness to that divine anger justified because mortals long persisted in defying His commands.
Consequently, with homosexuals and those supporting their activities celebrating even now in New Orleans, it could forecast a repeat of Katrina. So it is with other geographies that have come under the divine hand moving against persistent disregard for God’s expectations.
The Bible is replete with historical evidence of God’s mercy at work in pleading for mankind to live out His stipulations. However, when mortals knowingly continue in their evil lifestyles, God’s patience runs out and his wrath descends upon the wicked. Sadly, even in such times, the innocent suffer along with the wicked. Such is the situation here in this spiritually damaged world.
Jesus said, "The rain falls on the just and the unjust."
There are numerous instances in which the innocent suffer because of the purposefully wicked. An example is the child in a home overseen by an abusive adult. The child is the innocent one caught in the abrasive web of daily mistreatment from a selfish, sinful adult. That example can be extrapolated ad infinitum.
The hope for the innocent who intend on living for God while being mistreated by the wicked is that God will eventually lift that innocent believer into His divine grace for eternity’s rescue. Moreover, there are many who have suffered at the hands of the evil ones, the former having learned valuable lessons in compassion for others suffering from like circumstances.
The prime example of history’s suffering leveled against the innocent is the life of Jesus. He knew no wrong. He lived love in holiness. Nevertheless, the wicked saw through murdering Him in a most disgraceful display. Naked, He was spiked into the wood. The Father concluded the injustice from mortals by lifting the Son into resurrection glory.
Even as officials and humanitarians are planning for the rebuilding of New Orleans, homosexuals are parading through the streets, Bourbon Street in particular. "Southern Decadence" has been put back on the calendar for New Orleans location.
Homosexuals have informed media that it’s New Orleans and that equates with homosexuals displaying nudity and sexual activity in public, according to the Associated Press. The French Quarter would once again will be revived for evil frolic. According to the homosexual news site 365gay.com (it’s present banner reading "HELLBENT HERE"), homosexuals have planned on taking over the metropolis.
Just as Noah’s generation persisted in sin while being warned that God’s patience would one day run out for destruction to come upon the disobedient, so Jesus predicated that in the Last Days of the Church Age it would be like unto Noah’s generation. We are witnessing Jesus’ prophesies coming true, not only in New Orleans but other geographies of willful allegiance to satanic practices.
Time and again, God spoke through Old Testament era prophets, warning the Israeli tribes that His divine patience had a limit, then would evidence the divine wrath upon the stubbornly sinful. The Old Testament record is filled with incidences playing out this very back-and-forth of divine pleading for obedience followed by destruction upon the knowingly evil workers.
Sadly, once again the innocent were caught in the flux and flow; nevertheless, the divine hand lifted the suffering innocent into His grace for eternity’s salvaging. The wicked were come upon by God’s anger and final destruction everlasting.
Jesus warned likewise in the Gospel records of a divine wrath coming upon the purposeful sinful mortals continuing in their own selfish ways. Jesus also gave hope to the obedient, pointing to God as love. Jesus said, "If you love me, keep my commandments." In other words, there is a correlation between believing in a God of love and serving God by keeping His stipulations.
The homosexuals celebrating their sin are in direct contrast to the needs of the city overcome by Katrina. Instead of joining in the rebuilding, the homosexuals are intent on displaying their flesh, demanding that the city be owned by their governance. If it is, another disaster could very well be dittoed upon the environs set upon disregarding God’s laws.
The starving and homeless are all about them; but homosexuals step over them in order to parade their nakedness down the avenues. "Southern Decadence" reveals itself as "tens of thousands of men and women engaged in public nudity, prostitution, illegal drug use and destructive public S & M sex," according to a former homosexual.
Liberals wonder why the spread of AIDS/HIV. Moralists all along have known and broadcast that many AIDS persons have come upon the disease due to sinful activity.
So it is that New Orleans for decades has fostered the fatal illness as policemen regularly turn their heads. It is the same with numerous city officials and others in authority. Whatever goes in New Orleans goes, including the upping of the AIDS quotient.
What do the liberals do to stave off the epidemic? They make more quilts and stage more concerts to raise money to fight the illness. The last move they would make would be to castigate the perpetrators of AIDS in such locales as New Orleans for liberals are blind to sin, refusing to name practicing homosexuality an evil.
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin has promoted the homosexual festivals. He called "Southern Decadence" "an exciting event." He welcomed the homosexual display as a "great time in New Orleans."
Now the Mayor wades through a city under water. So the city will sit under water again if homosexuals revive their godless determination to establish hell’s pit where Katrina once raged.
FOOTNOTE:
Scripture relating that active homosexual relations are abhorrent to God:
Leviticus 18:22: "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."
Leviticus 20:13: "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them."
Romans 1:18-32: "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. . .For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools. . .
"Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. . .
"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 committed indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
"God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice. . .without understanding. . . and, although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them."
I Corinthians 6:9: "Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
