Homosexuality and Social Justice (A Response for Scrapping Article 377 by Supreme Court of India - In Christian Perspective)

(A Response for Scrapping IPC article 377 by Supreme Court of India – In Christian Perspective)

Pr. Asap Singh

News: September 6, 2018 was a day of celebration for homosexuals in India as the Supreme Court of India ruled out article 377 which decriminalized the homosexuality as punishable crime. Earlier, the sexual acts between adults of same sex counted as unconstitutional. Therefore soon LGBT (Lesbians, Gay, Bisexuals, and Transgender) will be recognized as separate genders in all legal documents.

It did not surprise me as I heard about the judgment; in fact I was expecting it soon will take place in India. I follow up a conservative independent journalist “Mark Dice” in YouTube and educated myself about the liberal lunatic culture spreading throughout the world. You can watch some of his videos and understand how crazy and dumb the liberals who portray their “Right to Love” culture. The world is speaking progressivism in technology but afraid to judge people based on their behavior. They wanted to practice what they like and how they like.

Recently I read an internet article that Facebook included 71 gender options for the UK users, the same is 50 in the United States. One of my friends from the US recently said the utter craziness of this progressive culture in childbirth. He said that when a child is born in his state the parents can name the child and get the birth certificate but cannot include the gender – the gender will be determined by the individual when they reach 18 years. The reason they don’t add gender is because they don’t know how the child feels when it reaches to maturity and choose one among the 50 gender options which can later be added to the birth certificate. As a Christian I felt disgusted to hear such incidents. 

I also saw two diagrams in the recent past how the progressive (???) Christians reinterpret the scriptures in supportive of homosexuality. I am attaching both the diagrams namely “So you still think homosexuality is sinful” and “The inclusive explanation of marriage” both those diagrams disgusted me I hope every conservative Christians will be having the similar anger I have towards them.

Bible – The Word of God instructs social justice whole through the book. It is more intentional in the New Testament. Some of my social justice observations from the Bible are noted below,

• Don’t oppress the weak or poor (Mat. 25: 40 & 45)
• Men and women are equal (Gal. 3:28)
• Sick and under privileged to be given special care (John 8:1-11; 9:1-4; Mat. 8:2)
• Care for humanity and creation (Lk. 10:25-37; Rom. 8:19-22)

    The Bible records about the creation of human beings in Genesis 1. God created human beings in His image – He created them male and female (Gen. 1:27; 5:2; Mark 10:6). Instead of saying Man and Woman – the verses speak as of the genders God created them; it specifies that there is no “Third gender”. If not the third, the remaining as the progressive world calls it with numerous genders also out of God’s creation. God created human beings in two genders with the purpose of uniting them as one (in sexual relationship). Genesis 2:24 says, “Therefore man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife and they become one flesh.” The sexual union between man and woman is counted sacred, which is the intention of God in creating humankind. 

Apart from male and female all the so called sexual orientations are non biblical and originated out of sinful human heart. It is the sinfulness and rebellion of human nature that thinks opposite to what God intended on humanity. The following are few bible verses speaks of human heart that is opposite to God’s will and full of sexual intentions,

1. Genesis 6:5, 12 - The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways
2. Jeremiah 17:9 - The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
3. Mark 7:21-22 - For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and defile a person.
4. Galatians 5:19-21- The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

    Besides the human thoughts bible also speaks about homosexuality as Perversion (Jude 7), Shameful act (Rom. 1:26-28), Wrongdoing (1 Cor. 6:9) and Detestable (Lev. 18:22; 20:13). The name Sodom and Gomorrah often related to homosexuality as the angels were asked to send out to “Know” (Heb. Yada) with homosexual intention (Gen. 13:13; 19:4-8; 2 Pet. 2:6; Jude 7). It is often noted as “Un natural desire” which is against the will of God. The Bible condemned it in the Old Testament, the New Testament and even today it is being condemned by the church.

It is the word of God that stands for eternity not the human freedom or free will. It is giving freedom or free access to the LGBT viewed by many as social justice. Some developed countries in the world even want incest relationship and include it as a right between two consulting adults and their freedom. In my opinion sexual relationship between parent and child – brother and sister will soon be legalized as individual freedom. My question to those Christians who justify the LGBT as freedom and view the incest as disgusting – will you call incest a social justice and not judge them? It is the same point of view from the Bible that homosexuality is despicable and abomination before the Lord. Anything that is opposite to the will of God comes out of sinful human intention that cannot be justified as social justice. It is the stubbornness of human heart that always wanted to react against God’s will and eternal plans.

Conclusion: As I said it earlier, I am saying it now - I am not wondered of spreading the homosexual (evil) culture in India and in all over the world because Satan will deceive the world with lustful physical intentions and make an army to fight against the people of God. I even expect lot more such activities being legalized in the coming days. It is time for Christians to unite together and stand against this despicable act in the church. God is jealous for his church and people; he did not create people with 71 or 50 or LGBT sexual orientations / genders. The two genders that God created are Male and Female (Mark 10:6) which attracts each other by its nature of creation. Opposing the acts of homosexuality is not standing against social justice, let us recognize it and fight against such activities at least in the church. 

May God bless you.
