Sodom and Gomorrah and it's parallels with modern day Western Society

Sodom and Gomorrah, those words whether you are Religious or not, read the Bible or not, or are a Christian or follow another Religion, those words or even just Sodom alone conjures up images in the mind. It's a historical place and event that most people are aware of. People are also aware of what Sodom and Gomorrah represents and why it was ultimately destroyed in quite spectacular and undeniable fashion by God. The question is, has the lesson been learnt, OR, is our world heading into a similar Sodom and Gomorrah scenario but with a modern day twist and what lessons can be learnt from it?

In these modern times, our Western societies are walking down the same road as the infamous times of S&G . This same trend of flaunting sin openly and publicly just like back in those Biblical days without a care is becoming increasingly prevalent in our times to the extent it's almost becoming acceptable or even "Cool".. A lot of parallels are being drawn with Western Society with America leading the way into a Sodom and Gomorrah style judgement. Not only in numerous religious circles is it a shared view that a "Judgement" is coming and that quite visible warnings as we speak are being given but just like in the Bible they are being ignored. Even in Politics,  Russia the promoter of traditional society values that refuses to adopt Western Society ethics and morals has pointed the finger at America and said they are heading down the S&G road in spectacular fashion as demonstrated in the Moscow Times in 2013

Sodom and Gomorrah is referenced 47 times in the Bible not just in the actual event that is mentioned in the Book of Genesis and mentioned many times also in The New Testament. It was an extremely important event. This article is an offshoot from the previous "The Breakdown of Modern Day Society and what is causing it" article  and also is very relevant and connected to The US Transgender Toilet Guidelines. Another step closer to chaos?

The History of Sodom and Gomorrah

Sodom and Gomorrah is mentioned not just in Christianity but also in Islam and Judaism. The cities were located in the same region as 3 other cities Admah, Zeboim and Bela. These five cities, also known as the "cities of the plain", were situated on the Jordan River plain in the southern region of the land of Canaan. The plain or region surrounded the dead sea and was of magnificent beauty and a land of super abundance and fertility, being a land well-watered, lush and green. (Genesis 14:2) and was compared to the garden of Eden[Gen.13:10]

In spite of this beautiful land and what appears to be blessings of abundance of good things in all those cities, the people of Sodom and Gomorrah were also renowned for their wickedness and sinfulness and the total rejection of God in every shape and form. Rather than living by God’s instructions, “the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful against the LORD” (Genesis 13:13).

What happened prior to the Judgement?

A straight lift from GotQuestions.org that explains in simple terms the Biblical Account of Sodom and Gomorrah that led to the judgement and the all important Bible Quotes that shed further light on what actually happened.

The biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah is recorded in Genesis chapters 18-19. Genesis chapter 18 records the Lord and two angels coming to speak with Abraham. The Lord informed Abraham that "the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous." Verses 22-33 record Abraham pleading with the Lord to have mercy on Sodom and Gomorrah because Abraham's nephew, Lot, and his family lived in Sodom.

Genesis chapter 19 records the two angels, disguised as human men, visiting Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot met the angels in the city square and urged them to stay at his house. The angels agreed. A mob then arrived outside Lot's house. The Bible then informs us:

Gen 19:5-8: “and they called to Lot and said to him, ‘Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them.’ But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him, and said, ‘Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly. KJV

Lot in order to direct the mobs attention away from the Angels offers his two virgin daughters as detailed in this Bible quote below

“Now behold, I have two daughters who have not had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, in as much as they have come under the shelter of my roof,” (Gen. 19:8).

The angels then proceed to blind all the men of Sodom and Gomorrah and urge Lot and his family to flee from the cities to escape the wrath that God was about to deliver. Lot and his family flee the city, and then "the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah — from the LORD out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities..nothing survived."

To this day nothing exists or has survived in that area since, it is a desolate area where nothing grows............nothing! Further details in the video below called "Sodom and Gomorrah- proof of the supernatural"





Why did God punish or judge Sodom and Gomorrah?

God decided to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah because their sin was “very grave”

Genesis 18:20

And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

They went in the face of God's statutes and commandments. It was in God’s perfect judgment that he destroyed these cities with fire and brimstone (sulfur) dumped from above.. It was done for good reason, letting them serve as sobering examples for all mankind to learn from. It was done as an example for those at the time and also burned into history for all future generations to be made aware of the danger of ignoring God's Statutes and Commandments

The five main reasons that God poured judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah

Because the people of Sodom had done the following:

1. Sodom’s society was steeped in widespread sexual immorality, including homosexual acts and vicious rapes. The residents of Sodom had become so evil that God could not find even 10 righteous people among them (Genesis 18:32).

2. The inhabitants were uncharitable and abusive to strangers, the poor, sick, and disadvantaged. In that society, a person had a very strong obligation to protect any guests in their home.

3. They wanted to humiliate their visitors by engaging in "an act of sexual degradation and male rape...These are acts of violence that are committed by parties seeking to show their hatred for those they are degrading. It is not an act of love or of caring"

4. Wanted to engage in bestiality -- having sex with members of another species such as Angels. The mob mentioned outside Lot's home where the Angels stayed may have wanted to rape the angels. Angels are not human beings; they are of a different species and in their minds was the going after of "other flesh" or "strange flesh."

5. Wanted to adsorb the power of the angels: In ancient times, sacred sex was very common. If the people of Sodom realized that angels sent by God were present in their city, the men of Sodom may have concluded that raping the angels might give them supernatural powers?

What was the real reason that God passed judgement on Sodom and Gomorrah?

The above five points are the main reasons touted that spring to mind which center around the question of immorality especially Homosexuality. Delve deeper and beyond Genesis and one of the Seven Deadly Sins, one that is not so obvious but still "grievous" none the less. (Ezek. 16:49-50) highlights the fact that God found Pride among the inhabitants of Sodom, one of the "Seven Deadly Sins and "sloth" mentioned as idleness as the other, which many cite as the real and one of the chief reasons for the  destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and judgement by God.

Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good. (Ezekiel 16:49-50)

What did Jesus and the The New Testament of the Bible have to say about Sodom and Gomorrah

Jesus Christ said that societies at the end of the age would parallel those in the days of Noah and Lot (Luke 17:26-30). Regarding the time of Lot, Jesus said, “They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all” (verses 28-29).

Paul called the period just before Christ’s return “perilous times.” He said they would be filled with pleasure-seeking, materialism, immorality, violence, idleness and rejection of the things of God (2 Timothy 3:1-5). Sound familiar.

(Romans 1:20-25). As mankind went astray, men and women began to exchange the wholesome, God-ordained use of sex for vile and shameful passions (verses 26-27). Paul also listed a number of other sinful behaviors that humans began practicing as they turned from God (verses 28-31).

God spoke about moral decline in Romans 1:18-32. here's some sample verses from the middle of that Chapter

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Are Western World Leaders Responsible for the Modern Day Moral Decline?

Modern Day Western Society has democratically elected leaders. They lead and society follows. A Gay Marriage law is passed by a Government it sends out a signal that in these modern times Homesexuality is now  not a sin and all the Bible quotes that state otherwise have been overidden by man........... all in the name of modernity.

Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths. (Isaiah 3:12)

For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed (Isaiah 9:16).

Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. (Proverbs 16:18)

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:28-32)

Is America the Modern Day Sodom?
---------------------------------------------------------

America is a nation that had it all, you could say was blessed by God because of it's initial adopting of God's statutes and it's embracing of Israel and it's people into it's country and also the nation Israel itself and it became a Superpower that controlled the world. The rot started to set in when corruption started to enter the White house and the Abortion Law became reality allowing the mass murder of millions of lives. Things have progressively gone down hill ever since and 9/11 was the wake up call for the nation. The nation has carried on regardless slipping further away from God and now in these modern times seemingly turning it's back on God and embracing the darker side. Warnings have come in many forms since but the Nation carries on regardless.

These quotes from the Bible I personally think sum up the situation not only in America but in the Western World today. We are living in times where evil is considered good or hip and cool, sin is to be encouraged and enjoyed and who cares about the consequences. Those that are seen to be doing right or good are "upsetting the new status quo" and are "party poopers". Christian symbols are being torn down with "The Cross" and "The Ten Commandments" and the words "In God We Trust" being particular victims in these S&G times. With churches closing or being attacked and burnt down, Materialism and Promiscuity rampant, and with an openly encouraged embracing of the Seven Deadly sins, we are in the times mentioned in Romans 1:28-32 above.

We are seeing mass shootings, rampant pornography addiction and the rise of narcism and Selfie Culture and a society obsessed more with Celebrity than with God. Rampant Government debt and spending and financial markets that bear no semblance to economic reality with "market intervention" being the buzzword in financial circles but a bubble that is waiting to pop in spectacular fashion.

The current bizarre obsession over the LGBT community and their toilet rights?? above everything else by the current US administration speaks volumes in itself. Why they are not concentrating on more pressing issues that are affecting the broader population is a head scratching mystery? We are seeing the rapid erosion of moral values and privacy and civil liberties. Mothers killing new born babies with their own hands becoming a common headline, the breakdown of the family unit, Americas back turning on Israel, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. We are living in times where "what is wrong is right and what is right is wrong" with the attitude "what's wrong with that".

Is there a Sodom and Gomorrah style judgement coming. I think it's overdue, but the problem in these modern times is that unlike Sodom and Gomorrah the problem is not local in nature and contained within two cities, it is now rampant across much of the globe with the US leading the way merrily heading it's way into oblivion. We live in an interconnected world, but if a judgement is coming it will be interesting in what shape or form it will come..............and more to the point..... who will be affected and what the final outcome will be?

Some Bible quotes to ponder over

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isaiah 5:20

“‘Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No! They were not at all ashamed; nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; at the time I punish them, they shall be cast down,’ says the LORD” (Jeremiah 6:15).

I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evil doers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
(Jeremiah 23:14).

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
(Ecclesiastes 8:11).

Statements and Comments from Religious Events and Conferences on the Sodom and Gomorrah effect in our modern Times
via Scottwoodward.org

We live in a season when fierce men do terrible and despicable things. We live in a season of war. We live in a season of arrogance. We live in a season of wickedness, pornography, immorality. All of the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah haunt our society. Our young people have never faced a greater challenge. We have never seen more clearly the lecherous face of evil. (Ensign, Nov 2001, 4)

Boyd K. Packer (Quorum of the Twelve)
Nothing happened in Sodom and Gomorrah which exceeds in wickedness and depravity that which surrounds us now.

Words of profanity, vulgarity, and blasphemy are heard everywhere. Unspeakable wickedness and perversion were once hidden in dark places; now they are in the open, even accorded legal protection.

At Sodom and Gomorrah these things were localized. Now they are spread across the world, and they are among us. (Address to CES religious educators, Feb. 6, 2004, 4)

Spencer W. Kimball (President)

Because of this widespread tolerance toward promiscuity, this world is in grave danger. When evil is decried and forbidden and punished, the world still has a chance. But when toleration for sin increases, the outlook is bleak and Sodom and Gomorrah days are certain to return. (Faith Precedes the Miracle, 154)

The US Transgender Toilet Guidelines. Another step closer to chaos?

The Transgender Toilet Guidelines?

The Gender Neutral Toilet sign. Part of the changes in the US after the Government LGBT Guideline Laws. Photo: By Flinga (Own work) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons[/caption]The LGBT or Transgender Toilet Guidelines is something that seems to have caught the public attention. It seems to be particularly prevalent in the US with the recent guidelines introduced in May this year for Transgenders and Toilets in Schools by the US Government. On the surface it seems either trivial or a slightly humorous topic. Dig deeper and this is a very serious topic indeed, that could have all sorts of ramifications throughout our modern day society whether we like it or not. The thing is, and I'm trying to keep a straight face for the first time writing this, I just can't believe that these modern times are getting so ridiculous that I even have to attempt to write about Transgenders and Toilets, but here we go anyway.

Lets elaborate. The Transgender Toilet Guidelines is something that is being led by the current administration in the US trying to make it compulsory for this new take on Transgenders and which Toilets/Changing rooms they are supposed to use or are allowed to use, and FEEL they need to use for their emotional and psychological well being? That word FEEL will prove to be very important as will be revealed later in this article. This new law is designed to get Transgenders and the LGBT community in general accepted into society, pretty much like what the Gay Marriage law tried to achieve back in June 26 2015 and all the resultant happy rainbow flag waving.

This is in no uncertain terms ties in with Part 5 of the The 2030 Agenda that was recently implemented and is becoming a slow reality as we speak.

Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

The date 2030 is the deadline when all these Agenda 2030 items will be implemented and fulfilled, but as we are quickly starting to realise, 2030 is merely a token date, the implementation of these items will be completed much earlier than that, I think the vast majority as early as 2020!

To get to the heart of this heated debate, you have to analyse what a Transgender actually is and enter into this bizarre world.

So what exactly is a Transgender?

Transgender people are people who experience a mismatch between their gender identity, or gender expression, and their assigned sex. Transgender people are sometimes called transsexual if they desire medical assistance to transition from one sex to another. Transgender is also an umbrella term: in addition to including people whose gender identity is the opposite of their assigned sex (trans men and trans women), it may include people who are not exclusively masculine or feminine (people who are genderqueer, e.g. bigender, pangender, genderfluid, or agender). Other definitions of transgender also include people who belong to a third gender, or conceptualize transgender people as a third gender. Infrequently, the term transgender is defined very broadly to include cross-dressers. via Wikipedia 

The Spectator had this to say

Back in March, North Carolina passed a law requiring people in schools and government buildings to use the loo matching the sex recorded on their birth certificate. ‘Bigotry!’ cried central government, ‘A violation of the Civil Rights Act!’, and threatened to withhold more than $4 billion in education funding.

North Carolina accused Washington of overreach and filed a lawsuit; Washington filed one right back, and so began America’s great transsexual toilet war, a tug of war over the Mason-Dixon line. Texas, Mississippi and Tennessee lined up behind North Carolina; most northern states lent their weight to the President. Miley Cyrus, Ringo Starr, Bryan Adams and Bruce Springsteen all cancelled gigs in North Carolina to support the right of trans kids to pee freely in the company of their choosing. ‘Some things are more important than rock,’ said Springsteen?

The Spectator went on to say

Anyone can call themselves transgender, and this is where it gets tricky — no op needed, not even different clothes. Gender in the 21st century is up to each one of us to decide for ourselves, and this is why the Republican South is anxious. If trans people are allowed in the loo of their choice, the fear is that schoolboys and perverts will identify as female just to gain access and grope girls. This isn’t as daft as it sounds. A Canadian man calling himself ‘Jessica’ was allowed into a women’s shelter in Toronto, whereupon he assaulted several ladies. A man in Virginia dressed in drag just so as to slide his camcorder under the girls’ cubicle walls.

This is what Obama has to say about the Transgender Toilet Government Guidelines

"What happened and what continues to happen is you have transgender kids in schools. And they get bullied. And they get ostracized. And it's tough for them," Obama said.
"My best interpretation of what our laws and our obligations are is that we should try to accommodate these kids so that they are not in a vulnerable situation," he said. According to Reuters 

So what's the answer.?

The answer is tricky according to The Spectator

Unisex toilets? No business wants to be a bigot and ban trans people — they’re terrified of Twitter campaigns and of Miley Cyrus saying they’re uncool. But then no one wants to be like Target, either. Target (a vast chain of US department stores) declared all its restrooms and changing rooms transgender-friendly, and now it’s boycotted in the South.

According to modern day youth Gender-segregated restrooms in the United States and Europe are a vestige of the Victorian era where women’s modesty and safety were considered at risk and under constant need of surveillance and discipline. Unisex is the way forward?

The legal complications this is causing?

In Doe v. Regional School Unit, the Maine Supreme Court held that a transgender girl had a right to use the women’s bathroom at school because her psychological well-being and educational success depended on her transition. The school, in denying her access, had “treated [her] differently from other students solely because of her status as a transgender girl.” The court determined that this was a form of discrimination.

The Transgender Angle

Transgenders obviously share of lot of similarities with the Gay and Homosexual sub culture in our society, but the main difference is these people have operations (not always) to transform or what they would call "correct" what they think is wrong as in their gender and bring them back into line where they think they should be. That word again, FEEL they think they should be with regards to gender to achieve true happiness in life. Gay and Homosexuals don't go to these lengths.

Some women feel they are actually a man, and some men feel that they are actually deep down a woman and would be happier as such and are in their current state in a severe state of depression. They will spend thousands on operations to achieve this and it's not something that can happen overnight for obvious reasons, it has to happen in stages in what is called in the trade a "Transition". The real core of this Transgender Toilet guidelines and being a Transgender is this according to them. "A man or woman shouldn't be defined by their plumbing or external private parts, but how they actually see themselves and how they FEEL?"

What they are saying is it should be OK for a man dressed as a woman who feels he is a woman but has a mans physical attributes to go into a woman's toilets or changing rooms or vice versa. The current US administration is whole heartedly backing this view in light of achieving their aim of implementing the previously mentioned Agenda 2030 and think its perfectly normal behaviour.

On the surface everybody wants to live in a happy world where everybody is happy and everybody is treated equally. People are not victimised or marginalised by society and we are all treated as humans and have human rights the same as the next man/woman. That includes Transgenders. Their recent move is playing on this fact. On the surface it looks like a workable solution where all parties will be happy but as with all these situations it's littered with pitfalls and landmines, here's just a few that spring to mind.

The LGBT Toilet Guidelines. Landmines and Pitfalls

1. This new move seems to cater for the minority and quite blatantly gives the finger to the majority. 3.5% of the US population are LGBT, that means 96.5% have got to change to meet the needs of a small minority. Never a good sign and demonstrates that we are heading away from a so called Deomcratic Society and moving towards an Orwellian or New World Order Society something that was touched on in The Cashless Society moves one step closer. My personal experience
2. The implications of this move haven't been thought through, or maybe they have but the result will be chaos in our changing rooms and toilets that's for sure. Men that are not Transgender could take advantage of this situation saying "I feel like a woman today" and vice a versa and the consequences that would create are obvious with woman and children being most affected.
3. Another obvious..Would women in particular be comfortable with what is quite clearly a man with a beard in women's clothing walking around what is a private facility, while they are performing private bodily functions.
4. At present as far as I'm aware, toilets are one of the few places left these days where CCTV is not installed for obvious privacy reasons. After a few "incidents" in public toilets after these looney guidelines have been introduced, cameras would be installed as a "Security Precaution". This would result in yet another level of Privacy eroded in this increasingly lack of privacy world that we live in. Maybe these guidelines are being introduced to achieve that implementation.
5.This Transgender Toilet Guidelines I think will form the tip of the Iceberg for further things to come down the line and will branch out into all corners of society. There will be no escape from it. Again see The 2030 Agenda
6. As we are seeing some states in the US are not playing ball with the Government and sueing them who are sueing them back. Sex discrimination cases are on the rise as a result of this recent move from Transgenders, this I think again is merely the tip of the iceberg.
7. The LGBT Toilet guidelines flies in the face of teachings of the Bible and plants evil seeds into peoples minds blurring the line further between the two genders. I think you are what you are, get on with living your life, be happy with what nature has given you, and what it says on your birth certificate and accept that fact. Nobody knows the long term psychological effects of such transitional operations. The film Frankenstein springs to mind here, and we all know what happened there.

The Far Reaching Changes in our society

The Gay Marriage law passed back in 2015 in the UK and US was hailed as a success by both Governments but in practice there is a resistance from religious establishments in certain parts of the US and also other establishments that are not remotely religious. More frightening is extremists that would have a field day with such a thing. That Gay Marriage move was the precursor to the next one which is where we are at now ..... The Transgender Issue. What's next. Paedophiles are acceptable and made legal just to make these weirdos happy?

The far reaching consequences of the Transgender Toilet Guidelines

A recent video has shown how widespread this Transgender Guidelines for Schools is starting to cause a Breakdown in Society with people who don't think they'll be affected (they don't use public toilets and changing rooms). Recently children as young as 4 or 5 just starting school were asked the question. "You are a boy/girl but what gender do you really think you are or wish you were". This is in the UK. Parents erupted quite angrily as you would expect, saying children of that age shouldn't be asked such a question. It's also another invasion into private households. You can avoid public toilets but you can't avoid these issues. Another Orwellian type scenario that is creeping into our modern day society.

Don't believe me. Watch this video!

Another crazy law in a screwed up world?

I think it's slowly dawning on people that something is not quite right here and more importantly something is very wrong with our world and these steps are "crossing the line" into immorality whether you are religious or not. The words "human" and "you've got to move with the times" and "the government is pushing these guidelines so it must be OK" are hardly an excuse for what is planned here. This is evil plain and simple dressed up in some "let's make everybody happy" marketing spiel and government lip flapping..

Which brings us quite nicely onto the Orlando Shootings that happened on 13 June 2015. Headlines and comments and views

Orlando attack highlights global rise in violence against LGBT communities

I think more is on its way, there's the Pride March coming up in LA and the London Pride March next week. Both are targets and have been in the past although it's normally in the form of attacks rather than murders.

To illustrate how ridiculous this all is. A hilarious video on a man that dresses up as a woman and tries his luck in entering  the ladies after these new Transgender Toilet Guidelines were introduced?

The Gender Neutral Argument and where things are heading

Gender Neutral is the new buzzword amongst the LGBT crowd (I'm not one by the way) and I think this is the way our modern day society will be heading, no gender, neutral and one religion, one currency, homogenisation of all cultures and languages into one, everybody the same and micro chipped with every move you make monitored including the toilets, maybe down the line every thought you have as well. It's a mad theory but if you check all the other articles or jigsaw pieces as I call them on this website, you will realise that the pieces and maybe this New World Order theory is not as mad or as far away as we think.

I also think the US is heading into a situation just like Sodom and Gomorrha in the Old Testament of The Bible. I sincerely hope it isn't!

Comments on Social Media

A Tweet from a Christianity News website that I follow and retweeted sums up my views entirely. It's so simple it's brilliant!

#LGBT I've got a good idea. Why don't men use the mens toilets and women use the women's toilets?

or something similar.

Here's a Tweet that caught my attention

@MeredithLai May 25
News flash to the anti-lgbt protesters , the toilet in your own home are used by both genders . Shocking isn't it ? Smh

My answer. Yes that's very true........ but not at the same time and not with complete strangers you know nothing about?.

Other Religions and their views on LGBT

Here's a list of the worlds major religions and their sizes and what they think of the LGBT community below.

Christianity 2.2 billion 31.50% LGBT NO
Islam 1.6 billion 22.32% LGBT NO
Secular[a]/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist 1.1 billion 15.35% LGBT 50/50 ?
Hinduism 1 billion 13.95% LGBT OK
Chinese traditional religion 394 million 5.50% ??
Buddhism 376 million 5.25% LGBT Not advisable
World Population 6.9 Billion

ISLAM and LGBT
The traditional schools of Islamic law based on Quranic verses and hadith consider homosexual acts a punishable crime and a sin. Extreme prejudice remains, both socially and legally, in much of the Islamic world against people who engage in homosexual acts.

HINDUS and LGBT
“Homosexuality has never been considered a crime in Hindu culture. In fact, Lord Ayyappa was born of Hari-Hara (Vishnu & Shiva). It is not a crime in any Smriti. Everyone has male & female elements. According to their dominance, tendencies show up & may change. Nobody should face discrimination because of their sexual preferences. To be branded a criminal for this is absurd.” - H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Where do I stand as a Christian and regular Public Toilet User?

My view on the LGBT community is pretty firmly in line with what is stated in the Bible but I also think that if people want to carry on their life in that manner then that is there choice and the Christian way is to love everyone regardless of race, colour, class or creed or orientation. What I don't like or want is that lifestyle waved in my face on a daily basis via Public Toilets. That is crossing the line as far as I'm concerned and is not something I want to experience.

CHRISTIANITY and LGBT

What does the Bible have to say about all this. The Bible is pretty clear about homesexuality and LGBT. It doesn't get any clearer. Some Bible quotes that illustrate this point.

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Leviticus 18:22

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Leviticus 20:13

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind
1 Corinthians 6:9

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Romans 1:26-28 -

But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
Mark 10:6-9 -

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Jude 1:7

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.
Romans 1:27
