This is an article from Comcast.net (the AOL link didn't work, sorry):
Is America ready for Gay Idol
The word of God not only condemns wickedness, but also speaks against supporting such:
“
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death,
not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” (Romans 1:27-32)
It's sad that homosexuality is so forced onto the society. Every show has to have its queer. You know, you find a show that is interesting and
OOF: they introduce the gay character. And it's not only that, but all of the rampant sin. Even the commercial "break" is no break for the evil, as our society foments its shame.
Where are those that sigh and cry for the abominations that are done in our nation and in among God's people?
I can't imagine that if Isaiah, or the other prophets who were appalled at the wickedness of the people, that they would be comfortable watching shows about it.
And it is packaged so well, too. I used to like The Thomas Crown Affair (the new one with Renee Russo and Pierce Brosnan). Then, one day, I thought -- the hero of this show is a thief, he beds the investigator, and though he returns the painting, he took it out of coveteousness. The plot of this story requires at least three commandments to be broken. "It's just a story." I could come up with some reason to justify it, but David said, “I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.” (Psalm 101:3)
And Paul said, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.” (Philippians 4:8-9)
The law showed us that even coming into contact with uncleanness made one unclean. This is still true, especially in the spiritual. We cannot allow ourselves to be willfully defiled by the wickedness of the world. Rather we should say with David, “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.” (Psalm 19:14)
