U.N. Expert Calls For Action Against Religions That Don’t Embrace Lesbian, Homosexual, Bisexual and Transgender Rights

 

This has come to pass because those professing to be “Christians” did not abide by the inerrant infallible living Word of God to stand boldly against sin, to run the race, to fight the good fight and be aware, be active, be dutiful in the nonstop spiritual war everyone is in. On one side or the other. Too many are unfruitful branches. Too many are more concerned with pleasing man than in obeying the Word and pleasing God. Too many appear to delude themselves that buying and wearing a representation of a cross made of gold, silver, platinum, diamonds or some other metal qualifies them as a disciple of He, Jesus Christ who was nailed to a tree as the Sacrificial Lamb of God, shed His blood, took upon Himself all the sins of all the people of the world if only a person would not only believe — but follow — obey, serve. That doesn’t translate into buying some jewelry and showing up at just any church on a Sunday morning and punching in and then punching out once your once-a-Sunday weak, watered down or downright of the world false teaching service ends.

To any and all who might think the United Nations is impotent and not to be given any thought it would greatly behoove any and all who follow that path of ignorance to think again. Be aware of what is happening. What is really going on and what is really at work here. At work everywhere. Within every person. Without end. Until the Lord Jesus returns one more time and His foot touches down upon the Mount of Olives once again.

Read on…as to what is really going on while thinking everything else is so important, or someone else will take care of these matters, or it’ll all be resolved in some election of men or women, men or women who deceive and say what they must in order to please other men and women to get elected not placing pleasing God and abiding by the Word ahead of all else.

Party politics, the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, the courts, the politicians no matter who will not come to the rescue, save the day, make everything better and set right. Do not delude yourselves.

The time is at hand, and always has been — to make the Lord our God, our Creator, our Father and His Son, Jesus Christ our top priority in this fleshly life while God gives us each breath, each beat of our hearts and we finally make all things of God’s Word our way of living, our way of thinking, our way of acting, our way of speaking, writing and doing. Alive in the Spirit no longer dead or lazy. No longer turning a blind eye, a deaf ear to sin we see and know. Refusing to call sin sin in these last of the last days.

All — every one of us — will bow before the Lord and have to give an accounting. And if you believe you can come before the Lord Jesus and lie, or attempt to make excuse, or deflect or deceive? And get away with such? I know I tremble and quake at the thought of my coming before Jesus when the time comes. Have I obeyed? Am I a branch bearing good fruit? Or will I be cut away and cast into the fire? I do not believe when any of us comes face to bowed head and bent knee before the Lord we will not tremble and quake at the sight, at the moment.

The only way to have blessed assurance before the Lord? We all must confess our sins. Repent of our sins and no longer commit those sins. We all must not only believe — we all must obey and walk, run the race. Stand boldly. Wearing at all time the full armour of God. Never wavering. Never resigning. Never appeasing the Enemy and any of his soldiers in this perpetual spiritual war no one is exempt from fighting no matter their age, health, gender, nationality, height, weight or if they actually believe there is a spiritual war taking place, whether they believe in God, and Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and the Bible or not — there are no bystanders. None innocent and with excuse.

Especially those who profess to be one of His. A Christian.

Each of us either is a genuine disciple or counterfeit.

And no matter what — God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit know each of our hearts.

And we have allowed what is happening to happen. Because we place the matters of daily life, this world, getting children to soccer and cello lessons, watching TV, and every other daily of this world act above serving the Lord our God do we not?

Be honest — because that’s all that will be accepted when before the Lord.

Now, dear brothers and sisters, or pagan heathen still unbelieving, please continue to scroll down and read what is really going on whilst we are otherwise so occupied in our own lives imagining all we do so important and on our “To Do” lists.

I, of all people, must bow, confess, repent and turn to the Lord with all my heart and spirit. in fervent prayer. In obedience. I come to you, I write what I do first knowing of my own weaknesses, my own failures and shortcomings and know I am not alone. That I need to first strengthen myself through the Lord, with the Lord, through His Word and my spiritual growing.

Let it start here, within my heart and spirit. Do not think for an instant I sit in judgment of others without first wringing my own heart without deceiving and deluding myself, telling myself I’m good, I’ve nothing to concern myself with before the Lord.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Let each of us examine ourselves and be ruthlessly honest as we must. In all things. Thanking God for His mercy, His sacrifice, His patience with such a sinful wretched messed up lot as ours!

And with our next breath, our next heartbeat provided only by the Lord and not of our own doing? Let us take that breath, our beating heart steps closer to God, to Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, in obedience distancing ourselves from this sin-filled world. Not concerned with pleasing man or this worlds ways. For however many more breaths, heartbeats, days the Lord blesses us with.

Let us be His. Let us be watchmen and women on the wall. Let us be rejoicing obedient soldiers in the winning side, the only right side in this constant and intensifying spiritual war.

Because the Enemy never sleeps, never rests, never tires and his ministers and minions are ever increasingly zealous in their work to remove God, to remove Jesus, to remove the Holy Spirit, to remove, corrupt, pervert and destroy the inerrant infallible living Word of God. To remove, destroy or forever corrupt and pervert what true Christianity is and those true Christians who will not bend to their will and surrender.

Make no mistake. It isn’t getting better. No one is going to swoop in and save the day. The world is broken. Lost. Walking in increasing darkness and evil. The days are only going to grow worse. So why not serve the Lord with all our hearts, all our minds, all our spirits, all our souls, all we are for the Creator Who made us to be His friends, His children, His disciples rather than concerning ourselves with the vain matters of this passing sinful world? Let each of us fight the good fight. Run the race. Boldly. Assured. Faithful and growing in faith and strength to the end! Our eyes, our hearts, our minds, our spirits on the Lord and His Word and heavenly matters more, much more than on worldly concerns. Living as the lights of this world. No matter how the darkness may grow or threaten around us.

We ought to know how it all ends.

God wins. Jesus reigns as King.

And everyone will be judged accordingly.

Victor Madrigal-Borloz Appointed Independent Expert on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

 

U.N. Expert Calls For Action Against Religions That Don’t Embrace Lesbian, Homosexual, Bisexual and Transgender Rights

By Jonathon Van Maren

September 27, 2019

A U.N. expert charged with promoting lesbian, homosexual, bisexual and transgender rights around the world called on governments to take action against religions that don’t embrace lesbian, homosexual, bisexual and transgender rights. In his latest report to the General Assembly, Victor Madrigal-Borloz said, “States should adopt decisive action when religious authorities, leaders or agents infringe on the rights of lesbian, homosexual, bisexual and transgender persons through violence and discrimination, including hate speech.”
Hate speech, as you know, is now a term that encompasses virtually everything that lesbian, homosexual, bisexual and transgender activists disagree with, including substantial portions of Holy Scripture and the religious texts of all three major monogamous religions.
“Born this way” is facing off with “ye must be born again” and our new progressive secularism is appalled that any person might be asked to refrain from any behavior by any religious tradition. And so religion must be suppressed in favor of the new rainbow dogmas–and censorship has a disturbing amount of support among Millennials.
In his report Madrigal-Borloz, the U.N. Independent Expert on protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, equates any kind of religious or political narrative that does not endorse lesbian, homosexual, bisexual and transgender rights with incitement to violence. He calls on governments to respond forcefully.
“There is abundant information about the dissemination of expressions that constitute hate speech by representatives of churches and faith-based groups, and incitement often leads to actions that infringe on other rights, including the right to personal integrity,” Madrigal-Borloz says in his report.
Madrigal-Borloz adds that “incitement and actual violence is enabled or carried out by religious leaders or agents in many ways. In some contexts, it is religion that is used as an explanation for the imposition of penalties that include the death penalty for homosexuality.”
The report highlights only one case of what it characterizes as religious incitement to violence against individuals who identify as lesbian, homosexual, bisexual or transgender. A lesbian, homosexual, bisexual and transgender pride event was prevented from taking place in Tiblisi, Georgia in 2013 after the Orthodox Patriarch asked authorities to block it.
When the government would not cancel the event, thousands of protesters took to the streets to stop it. The U.N. report blames the Orthodox Church for the confrontations that ensued at that event, and that resulted in injuries to 17 people, including three police officers and two journalists.
The report’s overall theme is social inclusion. It calls on states to adopt a panoply of laws and policies to prevent discrimination against individuals who identify as lesbian, homosexual, bisexual and transgender in a variety of contexts including education, health-care, humanitarian interventions, disabilities, and aging.
The report recommends including gender-neutral bathrooms in humanitarian camps. It recommends the adoption of “comprehensive sexuality education” that calls for kids to learn about masturbation and homosexuality.
The report also calls for the legal recognition of same-sex couples in contexts such as housing an employment. And it calls for reparations for past “pathologization, criminalization or any other stigmatizing processes.”
The creation of Madrigal-Borloz’s mandate three years ago resulted in a contentious vote in the General Assembly that nearly abolished it. “Sexual orientation” and “gender identity” have never been protected categories in international law. The establishment of the mandate is a stepping stone to make that a reality.
The mandate was renewed this summer for another three years despite another contentious vote. But resistance to the mandate has waned since 2016. It is unclear if the mandate will be challenged again in the General Assembly as it was three years ago when it was first created.
Now, obviously, there are many nations around the world that actually engage in genuine persecution against people who identify as lesbian, homosexual, bisexual or transgender. Iran is one prominent example, and there are thirteen countries where engaging in homosexual behavior is punishable by death, an appalling state of affairs (and one that almost always gets ignored at the U.N. in favor of more condemnations of the State of Israel.)
World leaders should absolutely be speaking up and condemning such behavior, and the Trump Administration has taken a firm stance on the global stage against such practices.
But lesbian, homosexual, bisexual and transgender activists want far more than a condemnation of genuine persecution, which, interestingly, is rarely brought up by activists in the West–in fact, they are more likely to side with Palestinian groups who despise them than they are with Israeli groups who support them (the Left’s contradictions are both bewildering and never-ending.)
This is a very typical strategy on their part: Bring up legitimate persecution to appear reasonable, and then insert a host of poison pills that allow them to shut down their critics.
They specifically want Christian pastors and leaders to be silenced, Christian adoption agencies shut down, and Christians driven out of the public square.
