IS HOMOSEXUALITY A SIN?

By Rev. Stephen Okhutu
revivauganda@gmail.com

Homosexuality has become a major topic of discussion in the world and spreading at a very alarming rate by sponsoring agents/ Activists.

It is worthy noting that the perpetuators call it a human right while others go to the extent of calling it Nature. In brief; we now have Male, Female, Homosexuals and Gays!

The campaign is therefore to have equal rights between Male and Female and the other group on the claim that they were ‘created’ like that.

It would not be fair to judge Homosexuals without knowing homosexuality and how they do their things.

As Christians we have a duty to love one another but this comes with a responsibility of hating sin. This then requires us to be careful not to commit sins in the process of love.


Is homosexuality natural?
When we analyze the Bible we find that God created two types of human beings; Male and Female. In fact the two were created purposely to rule the World and produce more descendants. (Genesis 1: 26-28).

Whereas homosexuals claim that sex was given for companionship, we should first study the context in which that line is placed in order to believe it.

We find in the second story of creation when God was creating a woman to Man for Companionship. But we also find that before a woman was created to Man, attempts were made prior to the final creation to have Man get a companion. In this we see all sorts of animals and other creatures presented but still Man failed to get a companion not until a Woman was given to him!

We later realize that some of these creatures were presented to man just to be named! We also find that Man was not forced to accept any creature for a woman in the name of companion.

If Homosexuality was natural then it should not have been forced or imposed. Today we have sponsored campaigns from the so called ‘civilized’ countries to spread the act to different groups of people. The youths who are easily lured with money especially those in schools have become prey.

I have no problem with two adults consenting to make love but why then should it be forced?

Recently the papers here in Uganda were quoting Mr. Obama as threatening the Ugandan government to stop a bill which intends to incriminate the sponsored spread of the act. When the Government of Uganda was passing a bill to incriminate Defilement and Rape, no foreign government came out to oppose, now Africa is trying to stop Defilement and Raping of the young boys by fellow boys, Mr. Obama is coming out to prove his authority!

I wonder if; in case Mr. Obama had boys, how he would have felt to see one of his boy’s anus rotting because a certain human rights advocate lured him into homosexuality with money! Or even got him from the school hostel and raped him!

I don’t believe in donor countries imposing their acquired ‘civilization’ on Africa with pledges of funds. I would rather they leave Africa alone because even Africa has some of its culture that Europe will not practice –calling it backwardness. Some states in Africa have cannibals. Should Africa then sponsor Cannibalism to Europe because it is natural and therefore regarded as a human right? After all cannibals is a minority group, eh?


A lesson fron the Uganda Martyrs?
One of the major tourists attractions in Uganda is ther Uganda Martyrs. But our brother who we now cal Mrtyrs died in the process of resisting homosexuality.


The Uganda Martyrs most of whom were royal peg boys to the Buganda’s King Mwanga were all homosexuals in the making. The king who by then was not to be opposed raped most of these boys until demonstrated against him. For fear of what the community’s attitude towards the act, Mwanga then decided tom kill the boys! If homosexuals were meant to be, why then could these boys have demonstrated. After all they were doing it with a king!

If homosexuality was opposed even in days of early civilization, I wonder why the so called developed countries should invest their resources in spreading it in this era. If there is no hidden agenda in this then someone should come out to show its importance to human kind.


Last Word?
As human beings, we have a duty to love each other without discrimination in diversities. Love involves respecting each and creating a peaceful environment to each other. But above all, we also have to love our God and respect his laws.

Just like in the book of Genesis, we need to name everything that comes our way until we meet a woman. Short of this, we are soon getting people sleeping with dead bodies, Murderers, thieves, Terrorists, people keeping dogs as women. And just and the homosexuals these will also claim to have been created like that! And yes, they will demand for their human rights. Funny enough we will be seeing foreign diplomats supporting them and investing lots of money for that cause!

Lest I forget, I pray to those heads of Governments who forcefully support the spread of Homosexuality to also support terrorists. Who knows, may be terrorism is also natural and those people may demand their human rights –without discrimination! Why should you hound Bin Laden who says he is fighting a holy war and then support a homosexual who is going to rape a fellow being? I don’t see the wisdom here! Is not what is good for the goose also good for the Gander?

Please: If you think you think don’t think I don’t think because we don’t think about the same thing. The policies that may develop Europe are not the same policies to develop Africa. And that is the difference. Please Mr. Obama.

The Constitution is not a yardstick to measure democracy -Gadaffi.

A constitution was imposed on Africa by Europe to enforce their ways on us. How
can a revolutionary leave power when people still love him because of a mere
paper? Libyan President, Col. Muammer Gadaffi

Many Ugandans who heard the words of the aged cerebrated freedom fighter advising his Ugandan counterpart thought Gadaffi was just defending himself –History has it that he is among the list of the long serving heads of states in Africa and probably the world!

I personally has no problem with monarchs, only if the claim to be so. Because after all is has its on advantages. We should believe that a person will do much as he can to defend his position and among these includes extending goods and services to his people.

If you study all those countries where leaders have refused to leave power, you will discover that they tend to get identified with the people –or they claim to be working for the interests of the people.

The problem is only that they waiting list of those who want to rule is long and they will not wait until that someone dies!

The end result is wars and spending towards national defense. This means the people whom these leaders claim to be serving will come out with nothing.

Then, even the advisors appointed to serve the nation will start serving the leader and the end result will be a group of sycophants aiming and protecting their positions than serving the public! After all they know that no advice which is not in the interest of the leader will be taken. So they learn to give ‘good advises’ or to be politically correct, they learn to protect their lovely leader!

But besides this, people’s lives are put in danger as the opposition and the ruling sides are fighting for support!

For the public, it becomes difficult to decide, if ones decides against the government he will be branded a criminal, if he decides against the opposition, his own people will be hunting for him the next day!

Take an example of the cerebrated Uganda Martyrs. Writers of historical books especially in Uganda have intentionally made the public to believe that these people died because they loved Jesus so much that they could not respect the King. This may be true until one believe that a person can lie by omission.

The teacher of these martyrs, Alexander Mackay, whom we should al believe because he controlled these innocent boys wrote that King Mwanga, A king of Buganda kingdom was exploited by Indian and Arabic traders at that time. They taught him among other things; smoking Marijuana and homosexuality.

He was successful in homosexuality until one day these boys learnt about Gomorra in the Bible! This is where the problem came from! He asked one of his peg boys to have it with him and the boy refused reasoning that God will burn him like he did to those in Gomorra.

The king got futile. Very early in the morning when he made a head count of how many Christians he had in the palace, it came out that almost all of them raised their hands!

Then he realized that no more homosexuality unless these boys are dead! He also feared that they might tell it to the public, imagine the shame it would have caused!

So he found reason to kill them saying they were spoilt by western culture and were not respecting him!

Is this teaching you something? Yes, let us accept that monarchs are good. But we should not forget that people’s voices are not respected.

We are bound to have more so called martyrs if we continue with these kinds of rulers.

After all, the so called revolutionaries claim to have fought to rebate the people. I think this is different from fighting to rule the people, otherwise, if it is ruling we better remain with those in power because we don’t know what the new regime will come with.

I respect Brother Gadaffi, because a fish enjoys life when in water, do you expect it to support fishing!
