Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Isaiah 5:20

God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

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; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 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.

The U.S. Puts $4,100,000,000 toward Sexual Perversion, Sexual Deviancy, Sexual Immorality Causes Globally

 

Most Americans Have No Idea We Have Spent $4,100,000,000 Promoting Sexual Perversion Causes

Despite an ongoing war in the Middle East, open borders flooding in millions of illegal immigrants, a worsening drug crisis, and increased risk of terrorist attacks in the U.S., President Joe Biden apparently has other priorities. According to an Epoch Times investigation of government spending, in the last three fiscal years, $4,100,000,000 “in federal money from taxpayers” has been put towards sexual perversion, deviancy, and immorality initiatives both within the U.S. and across the globe.

In June, the Family Research Council published a report that tracked the Biden administration’s foreign policy sexual perversion, deviancy, and immorality priorities. Written by Arielle Del Turco, director of the Center for Religious Liberty, and Chris Gacek, senior fellow for Regulatory Affairs, it revealed data similar to the Epoch Times’s investigation. FRC’s report also pointed out that the Biden administration’s “ideological colonialism” often “strains our relationships with other countries and diverts U.S. attention from focusing on other human rights issues.”

As the authors state, “Sexual perversion, deviancy, and immorality-identifying persons are already (rightly) protected by international human rights treaties by virtue of their personhood, not their sexual orientation or gender identity.” This is unlike countries including (but not limited to) Brunei, Iran, Mauritania, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen, where identifying as sexually perverted, deviant, and immoral is illegal, and, in some cases, the death penalty is imposed. Nevertheless, the White House is “pushing sexual perversion, deviancy, and immorality specific policies around the world” that is not only distracting but “a coercive attempt to change foreign cultures and laws from afar and displaces human rights like religious freedom.”

As Del Turco and Gacek argue, the Biden administration is doing this through specific department grants, an emphasis on Pride Month, recognizing “Sexual perversion, deviancy, and immorality -oriented international days,” creating gender-neutral passport options, and multiple other ways outlined in the report, which concludes are all a “misuse of resources,” harms the relationship the U.S. has with its allies, and ignores the laws that already protect human rights.

Ultimately, “The mark of this ideological push is widespread, and the harms will be as well,” the report read.

To provide further insight, Del Turco commented to The Washington Stand, “Sadly, the Biden administration has systematically infected nearly all aspects of our foreign policy apparatus to push sexual perversion, deviancy, and immorality ideology across the globe.” She continued, “Under Biden, Pride Month is celebrated at embassies, sexual perversion, deviancy, and immorality issues are included in the State Department’s annual Human Rights reports, the government observes sexual perversion, deviancy, and immorality commemoration days, and the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development fund sexual perversion, deviancy, and immorality activism abroad. This type of international activism is alienating to many American allies in the developing world that have more conservative or traditional value systems.”

She added that it is also “inherently condescending.”

As for the $4,100,000,000 directed to sexual perversion, deviancy, and immorality priorities in foreign policy, Del Turco said, “Most American citizens have no idea” the U.S. government has wasted so much money “on not only useless but deeply harmful programs in the United States and around the world.” “Sexual perversion, deviancy, and immorality issues remain hotly contested,” she pointed out, “and there is no nationwide consensus on many sexual perversion, deviancy, and immorality policies,” yet the fact that the Biden administration still insists on using taxpayer dollars to aid this “radical agenda is deeply disrespectful to a large portion of Americans.”

The bottom line, Del Turco said, is that “the administration is essentially trying to fund cultural change with the taxes of hardworking Americans that wouldn’t normally be interested in funding sexual perversion, deviancy, and immorality activist groups.”
