Did you know that AIDS was originally known as GRID: Gay-Related Immune
Deficiency? The name was quickly changed to the more politically
correct term "AIDS" or "Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome".
But the fact remains that the AIDS epidemic was originally the result of
abominations commited by homosexuals, or what the Bible calls "sodomites".
The media has convinced most Americans that homosexuality
is a harmless alternative lifestyle, but nothing could be further from
the truth, and this film will prove it.
AIDS: THE JUDGMENT OF GOD
-Scientists at the National Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta today
released the results of a study which shows that the lifestyle of some male
homosexuals has triggered an epidemic of a rare form of cancer.
Robert Bazell now in Atlanta:
-Bobby Campbell of San Francisco and Billy Walker of New York both suffer
from a mysterious newly discovered disease which affects mostly
homosexual men. Researchers know of 413 people who have contracted the
condition in the past year. One third have died and none have been cured.
Investigators have examined the habits of homosexuals for clues.
-San Francisco has more cases of AIDS per capita than any other city.
The number of new victims, almost all of them homosexual men...
-Fully half of San Francisco's 80,000 gay men already may carry the AIDS
antibody. Since 1981, there have been 1,400 AIDS deaths here.
-Studies show that about half the gay men in San Francisco
are infected with the AIDS virus, HIV.
-A totally new disease has appeared in the past couple of years
that is spreading rapidly among homosexuals.
-Well, I think it's because it's a gay cancer.
-It appeared a year ago in New York's gay community, then in the gay
communities in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
-While gays were gaining in the courts and legislatures, a new
disease was diminishing their numbers: AIDS, still incurable, still pervasive
among homosexuals. This month the total number of Americans killed by
AIDS will top the number of Americans killed in Vietnam.
-We come to thank God for the life of Phil Howard,
for all that he meant to all of you.
-San Francisco's gay community, once the capital of gay liberation,
has become a community of young men who spend
much of their time dealing with death and dying.
-Lord, have mercy.
-Many people compare the experience of living through the AIDS epidemic
to war. In this city alone, AIDS already has killed more than
5,000 people. That is three times the number of people from San Francisco,
who died fighting in all the wars in this century.
-You feel very helpless. There's absolutely nothing you can do.
-Bob Ross publishes a gay newspaper called the Bay Area Reporter.
Every week he prints obituaries of at least
a dozen people in the area who died of AIDS.
-AIDS is the judgment of God, and that's the title of the sermon
tonight, "AIDS: The Judgment of God".
You say, "Well, I don't think God would send that judgment."
Well, go back if you would to Deuteronomy chapter 28.
In fact, God already said repeatedly throughout the Bible that disease
or pestilence is a judgment that he would send. The Bibles uses
the word "pestilence". We would normally use the word "disease".
It's the same thing. It's germs; it's disease; it's something that's
infected. Look at Deuteronomy chapter 28 verse 15, and let me just explain
to you what Deuteronomy 28 is. It's a list of the curses
upon those who would disobey the Lord.
[Deuteronomy 28:15] But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not harken unto the voice
of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his
statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall
come upon thee, and overtake thee:
[Deuteronomy 28:21] The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have
consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.
[Deuteronomy 28:22] The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and
with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword,
and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
[Deuteronomy 28:27] The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods,
and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed."
-AIDS is not God's vengence upon the homosexual community.
-Don't tell me that God won't send disease. Don't tell me that God won't
send pestilence as a punishment. Don't tell me that the fact that our
country today is filled with STD's isn't the judgment of God today,
because it is! And you say, "Well, that has nothing to do with it."
That's baloney! You know and I know that married, heterosexual, normal
Christian people are not picking up these diseases.
They're just not doing it.
Unless they get a blood transfusion from one of these freaks,
they're not going to get it.
You get it from being promiscuous. You get it from living a life of sin,
my friend, and anybody who's being honest with you would tell you that.
Now go back to Romans chapter one. It's clear.
[Romans 1:26] -"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:
[Romans 1:27] 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."
Now, I have my Bible here. This is a possession that I really prize.
This is my grandma's New Testament.
In Romans chapter one, my sweet old grandmother, right under the part
where it says, "receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which
was meet", she wrote the word "AIDS".
That's what Grandma said. She said- receiving in themselves that
recompence, or what they deserve, or the judgment or punishment that
they've earned, receiving in themselves that recompence of the error which
was meet - she wrote "AIDS".
This is from the Centers for Disease Control. Here's what they say:
that the AIDS rate, the rate of HIV, is fifty times higher for homosexuals.
Did you hear that?
Fifty times higher.
Okay, now.
You say, "Well, that's odd. I wonder how in the world this normal, natural,
healthy, wonderful lifestyle would lead to
fifty times as much of this deadly disease."
Well, let me explain to you how they got fifty times as much AIDS,
because it's right here in this article, which is a scientific article
put out by two researchers, Bell and Weinberg, and they did a study of
thousands and thousands of homos, just doing a study on their lifestyle,
doing a survey, and here's what they found:
They found that 28% of homos that they checked with - 28% had already
had more than one thousand partners.
Now, look. It's hard to even wrap your mind around a number like that,
isn't it? A thousand?
I mean, there's only 365 days in a year. I mean, just stop and think,
a thousand different people. 28%. That's almost a third. Let's just
round it down. Let's just call it a fourth. That means that if you know
four homos, one of them has already surpassed the thousand mark,
based on this information. Now, look. Do you think I made this up?
Go research it. It's all fact. And then, there are about three other
studies that were done that showed the same thing. So, I mean this was
studied in different parts of the country, different time periods,
one was done in the 70's, one was done in the 90's, and more than
a quarter, more than one out of four had had a thousand - already -
a thousand!
I mean, that number boggles the mind. 28%.
But it goes further than that.
43% - over 500.
And that's already just bizarre. I mean, just off the charts.
So if you know two of them, one of them has hit the 500 mark already.
"How is that even possible, Pastor Anderson?" Well, that's because
79% of homos said that more than half of their partners are complete
strangers. 79% said that more than half of their partners are complete
strangers. Now do you understand why they're fifty times more likely
to have AIDS? Not only that, but a mere 17% reported having less than
fifty already. And I mean, look. They still have their whole life ahead of
them. A mere 17% said, "At this point, I've had less than fifty."
Only 17%.
And this study showed that being monogamous, or being faithful to
one partner was non-existant.
-Homosexuality is a sin.
-It was California Republican William Dannemeyer who recently declared on
the House floor, "God's plan for man was Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve."
Dannemeyer leads a group of conservative Republicans who hope
to make AIDS a political issue. They meet to plan strategy for bringing
controversial AIDS-related legislation to the House floor.
-At some point, the public is going to demand action, frankly,
to get on with protecting the public health.
-...bath houses frequented by homosexual men. The House already has voted
overwhelmingly to close them if federal authorities believe they
help spread AIDS. In New York City, a Republican campaign proposal to
close all businesses that cater mainly to homosexual men...
Gay bath houses, blamed for encouraging high-risk sex, were shut down by the
city a year ago, but most had already closed for lack of customers.
-The baths were ordered closed when city inspectors found evidence of
sexual practices which they felt lead to the spread of AIDS. Owners of
five of the bath houses plan to fight the order in court.
-Congressman Dannemeyer charges that Democrats won't be tough enough on
AIDS, because he says the party fears alienating homosexual voters.
-They have opened up their party to the male homosexual community
in America, and those members of congress or state legislature or
county government who don't take those actions that are needed
are going to pay the political price for not having done so.
-I think it is one more instance of fag bashing.
-Last weekend, Darrel Yates Rist predicted that the Mine Shaft
would close. He had started going to the gay backroom bar ten years
ago. But Saturday night, Rist went as a journalist - the last stop on
a tour he had taken of city gay bath houses.
-None of these clubs wants their clientele to die and no gay men
in this city wants to die nor does he
want his friends and lovers to die.
-But the Mine Shaft's neighbors, the meat packers, don't believe Rist;
they say they believe what they see.
-They're making love in the street on top of cars and everything.
This is men, grown men. I mean, that's not normal.
-We've seen it all since we've been here. They try to pick us up.
They come out drunk.
-Sometimes in the morning you see needles on the floor here,
and we have to work around it.
You see, this is government meat inspected places here.
-The meat handlers say it's gone on too long.
Mayor Koch agrees in light of the AIDS crisis.
-This is a matter that involves a lot of money to these people.
They are selling death. Places where death can be distributed. We don't
want that to go on. But nevertheless, they don't give a damn about it,
apparently, because it's going on, and they're making money.
-What they're doing is abnormal in a sense that, most of these people,
they're not fit; they're not human beings; they have emotional problems.
-You say, "No, no, Pastor Anderson. You don't understand. I saw on TV
that they want to get married. They want to get married and be monogamous."
No. Monogamy is non-existant. Here's the science. Here are the numbers:
OK, 85% of straight married women in the United States claim to have
been faithful to their spouse. Now, it's sad that it's that low, but,
you know, that's what it is. Married straight women - 85% will say that
they've been faithful. And 75% of straight married men will say that
they've been faithful to their spouse, meaning that they have not committed
adultery. But amongst homos, you know how many are saying - and this
is just who's saying that they've been faithful - 4%.
So 96% will just come right out and say, "not faithful, total adultery".
So, it's only 4%. Not 40%; four. One, two, three, four per cent
that will even claim to have been. But is that what they show you
on TV? "Oh, just let them get married if you love each other. Bla, bla, bla."
No. The only reason they want to get married
is just to make us think it's normal.
-Through their disgusting lifestyle, the sodomites have spread their
disease of AIDS throughout the population. People will often point
out that sodomites are not the only ones who get AIDS, and that many
straight people get AIDS as well. This is because sodomites who go
both ways spread the disease to those who are promiscuous among
the straight population. Also, the sodomites have spread their disease
to drug users through the sharing of needles. In addition, there have
been sodomites who knew they had HIV and yet purposely
donated blood to infect the straight population.
-The gay people are giving their blood knowing that it is contaminating
people, and to me that is irresponsible and immoral.
-It's a disease first detected in the gay community that has now spread
beyond that, a disease experts are now calling a national epidemic.
-We are faced with an epidemic which initially started in the gay
community. But now we see it spreading to heterosexual - both men and women.
-Up 'till now, AIDS has affected only homosexual men, intravenous
drug abusers, Haitian immigrants, and hemophiliacs, but there is now
conflicting scientific evidence that AIDS can be transmitted through
blood transfusions, heterosexual relations...
Gay rights groups have attacked federal guidelines that now require
Red Cross blood banks to ask homosexual men not to give blood. Gay leaders say
such questions particularly in on-the-job blood drives can
be a violation of privacy. But federal officials say they'll continue
until the epidemic is brought under control.
-Whatever causes AIDS destroys these blood cells, called "lymphocytes",
which fight infection. The victims are then suceptible to various diseases.
Drug addicts get AIDS from blood- contaminated needles, children from
their mothers' blood in the womb. Others have gotten it from blood
transfusions and blood products. But more than 70% of the victims
are homosexual men who get it from sexual contact.
-I have four friends that have died. I have two friends that are dying.
I listen to them.
Brilliant people.
-The Word of God is crystal clear on this subject, I'm going to be
crystal clear on this subject, and people are going to be offended
because they have been taught by Hollywood and taught by the
mainstream media and they've been taught by the music and the TV shows
that homosexuality is a normal alternative lifestyle and that they
are normal people. That is not what the Bible teaches anywhere.
And I'm going to show you a pattern in the Bible here. When the Bible
talks about this subject, it's always the same old story playing out.
You see, in Genesis 19, you have a city that is filled with these homos,
with these sodomites, and these men in the city, instead of contenting
themselves to just be a homo or get married to each other or whatever
they want to do, what do they want to do? They want to go after the two
guys who just got into the town, the two innocent visitors who march
into town, and they say, "We want those two guys." The whole town
is there. They say, "We want to bring those two guys out
and we want to know them."
[Genesis 19:4] But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom,
compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
[Genesis 19:5] And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which
came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
[Genesis 19:6] And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
[Genesis 19:7] And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
[Genesis 19:8] Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me,
I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing;
for therefor came they under the shadow of my roof.
[Genesis 19:9] And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to
sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore
upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
And you say, "Oh, they just want to have a loving relationship."
OK. If they want to have a loving relationship, then why is it that
when Lot tells them no, they say, "We're going to do worse to you
than what we were going to do to them"? Does that sound like they were
going to do a good thing to them or a bad thing?
[Genesis 10:10] But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot
into the house to them, and shut to the door.
[Genesis 19:11] And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness,
both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
[Genesis 19:12] And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy
sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
[Genesis 19:13] For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before
the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
This is actually a very significant event. This is not just an obscure
Bible story. This is something that the Bible references over and over
and over again. All throughout the Old Testament, all throughout the
New Testament, 54 times the term "Sodom" or "sodomite" is mentioned.
Look at Judges 19:22. We find a very similar story. Here's a guy who's
travelling with his concubine, or his live-in girlfriend, and a servant.
And he shows up in a town. It's a similar story except in this story
he's trying to find a place to stay. He can't find anywhere to stay.
An old man comes in from the field and says, "I will let you stay at my
house but you guys should not spend the night in the street."
Very similar story. Look at Judges 19:22.
[Judges 19:22] Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city,
certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the
house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
[Judges 19:23] And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them,
Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly;
seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.
[Judges 19:24] Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring
out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing.
[Judges 19:25] But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine,
and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning:
and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
[Judges 19:26] Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door
of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light.
[Judges 19:27] And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house,
and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine
was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold.
[Judges 19:28] And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered.
Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place."
She's dead. And you say, "Well, this isn't a very pleasant
story. This isn't a very pleasant sermon." No. It's not a very
pleasant subject! But this, my friend, is reality that you're seeing tonight.
You see, what you see on TV is a lie. What you hear in the music
is a lie. What you see in the Hollywood movie is a lie. This is the truth.
And when you come to church, you should expect to hear the truth
about every subject, and tonight you're going
to hear the truth about the sodomites.
-The campaign against the ordinance has been vicious. Gays are being called
a dangerous and violent group that corrupts
children and infects the community with AIDS.
BOYS BEWARE
Produced with the cooperation of the Inglewood Police Department and the Inglewood Unified School District.
-That looks innocent enough, doesn't it? Lots of young people hitchhike.
It seems like a good way to get from one place to another. But sometimes
there are dangers involved that never meet the eye.
Let's take the case of Jimmy Barnes. Jimmy played baseball all afternoon
and he didn't feel like walking home so he decided to thumb a ride.
He'd done it a hundred times before and he didn't think anything was
unusual when the driver struck up a friendly conversation. In fact,
he seemed like a real nice guy. He asked Jimmy if he played baseball
in the park often. Jimmy told him they practice three times a week
and played a rival group on Friday afternoon. The stranger was a good
listener too, and it only seemed minutes before they
pulled up in front of Jimmy's house.
When Jimmy got out, the stranger gave him a friendly pat.
Then he told him he'd see him again because he
always drove by the park on his way home.
Sure enough, the following day when Jimmy finished playing ball, well,
the man was there waiting.
They stopped at a drive-in and the stranger treated him to a Coke.
During their conversation he told several off-color jokes, but Jimmy
had heard others before and, well, it made him feel big
to so easily win the confidence of an older person.
The following Saturday they went fishing together. By now they were
using first names. Ralph said it was more friendly.
Jimmy hadn't enjoyed himself so much in a long time.
Then during lunch Ralph showed him some pornographic pictures. Jimmy
knew he shouldn't be interested but, well, he was curious. What Jimmy didn't
know was that Ralph was sick. A sickness that was not visible
like smallpox, but no less dangerous and contagious. A sickness of the mind.
You see, Ralph was a homosexual, a person who demands an intimate
relationship with members of their own sex.
But by now, Jimmy felt a fondness for Ralph and they continued to
go places together. Ralph was generous and took Jimmy many interesting places
and did many nice things for him.
He bought presents and even gave him money. But payments were expected
in return. You see, Jimmy hadn't recognized Ralph's approach soon
enough. When Ralph first asked Jimmy to go fishing alone, he should
have discussed it with his parents or teacher.
POLICE STATION
Finally Jimmy told his parents and they reported it to the juvinile
authorities. Ralph was arrested and Jimmy was released
on probation in the custody of his parents.
But all homosexuals are not passive. Some resort to violence
as in the case of Mike Merrit.
In the heat of competition, no one noticed the man who sat and watched.
And when the game broke up and the others left, Mike decided to stay
and practice a little longer.
The stranger joined him. He was friendly and, well,
it was better than playing alone.
But after a few shots Mike realized he'd already overstayed his time
and suggested he'd better leave. The stranger told him if he'd like to stay
longer he'd be glad to drive him home when they finished. It sounded great
to Mike. A chance to play longer and get a ride home too.
When they finished the stranger told him he'd make a fine player
some day if he got lots of practice. The companionship, the praise,
the friendly attitude dispelled any misgivings Mike might have had
about going with a stranger. He probably never realized until too
late that he was riding in the shadow of death, but sometime that evening,
Mike Merrit traded his life for a newspaper headline.
Public restrooms can often be a hangout for the homosexual.
One never knows when the homosexual is about. He may appear normal, and it
may be too late when you discover he is mentally ill. So keep with your
group and don't go off alone with strangers.
-"Well, that was the Old Testament." OK, well, let's go to the New
Testament then. 2nd Peter chapter two, almost to the very end of the Bible.
It says in verse six, "And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha
into ashes condemned them with an overthrow," because that's how he
felt about it back then. That was before he had evolved on that issue.
Is that what it says? It says that he turned Sodom and Gomorrha, and
condemned them with an overthrow, he turned it into ashes, "making them
an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly".
That's why in the New Testament at the end of the Bible, he's saying,
"Hey, let me tell you something. That was an example
unto those that afterwards should live ungodly."
"And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked".
It doesn't say, "the alternative lifestyle of the wicked".
It says, "vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked".
Go to Jude, just a few pages to the right in your Bible.
Jude verse seven. Just a couple pages over,
second to last book in the Bible. Jude verse seven:
[Jude 1:7] 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.
Again, emphasizing the fact that that is supposed to be an example unto us
today where we can look at that example and say, "This is what God
thinks about that sin." And you say, "Well, what was the sin?
What was the big sin?" He tells us right here what the sin was.
You say, "Why did he rain fire and brimstone? Was it just because of
the violent way that they were trying to carry out their lust? Was it just
the violence that they were trying to do?" Well, the Bible says it's
because they had given themselves over to fornication, going after
strange flesh. And, you know, "strange" has a synonym: "queer". OK?
It is not normal for a man to go after another man's flesh. That's strange
flesh. And he says that they gave themselves over to fornication
and went after strange flesh, and that they are set forth an example,
suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Go to Romans one.
Romans chapter number one. A lot about this in the New Testament,
my friend. We're not even going to look at all the New Testament passages
for sake of time. We could look up all 54 times that the word "Sodom" or
"sodomite" is mentioned in the Bible, but it would take too long to go
to all the scriptures. And people think, "Oh, the Bible barely touches
on that." Or, "Oh, the Bible doesn't really talk about that." Look, 54
times the word "Sodom" is used. Now, the passage I'm taking you to
in Romans one deals with this subject and doesn't even mention the word
"Sodom" or "sodomite". So, I mean there are more than 54 scriptures
to deal with here. I mean, there are a lot of scriptures. Genesis nine deals
with this subject. Again, no mention of the word "Sodom". And so, this is a
subject that the Bible deals with quite a bit, actually. Look at Romans
chapter one and let's just let the Bible do the talking tonight,
because the Bible says so much. Look at verse number 18. It says:
[Romans 1:18] For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness
and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
[Romans 1:19] Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;
for God hath shewed it unto them.
[Romans 1:20] For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly
seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his
eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
[Romans 1:21] 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.
[Romans 1:22] Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
[Romans 1:23] And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image
made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
[Romans 1:24] Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their
own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
[Romans 1:25] 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.
[Romans 1:26] 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:"
Now, do you remember how the word "vile" was used back in Judges 19,
when the old man said, "Do not so vile a thing"? What does the word
"vile" mean? Somebody help me out. What does the word "vile" mean?
Disgusting. What's another...
Sick. And not in a good way. You know, "vile" means
disgusting, gross. Would that be another word that you would
probably use for "vile"? That's what the word V-I-L-E means.
And the Bible says here that, "For this cause God gave them up unto
vile affections". For what cause? The fact that when they knew
God, they glorified him not as God. The fact that they rejected God,
they rejected the evidence that he is the Creator of the world, they rejected
all the things that he gave them and the good things that he did for them.
And keep reading. It says, "God gave them up unto vile affections".
[Romans 1:27] 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.
The wording that God uses to describe this activity of men with men - he used
the word "vile", he used the word "unseemly", he used the word,
it's "not convenient", "convenient" meaning it doesn't come naturally.
He used the word "against nature", he used the word "uncleanness", and he
said he gave them unto vile affections, and he says here:
[Romans 1:28] And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge,
God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Now let me ask you something. According to verse 28 here, which came first here,
them rejecting God, or God rejecting them? Which came first?
It's pretty clear, isn't it? I mean, it says like, "First, here's what
they did. They refused to acknowledge God. They refused to worship God.
They refused to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. They reduced God to the
image of a man. They reduced God to the image of an animal or a beast.
They did not like to retain God in their knowledge, meaning they
hated God so much they don't even want to think about God. They don't
even want to remember tha there is a God." And he says that that is what
led to them being given over to a reprobate mind. And three different
times it says God gave them up; God gave them up; God gave them over.
And then people today still - 99% of evangelical Christianity or Baptists
that you talk to will say, "I don't think God gave them up. I don't
believe God gave them over. I don't believe God gave them up. I don't think
God had anything to do with it." Am I telling the truth?
You want to take a poll with me? If we were to go around and ask
all the evangelical Christians and Baptists in this area, "Do you think
God had anything to do with these people becoming perverted or becoming
a reprobate or becoming vile?"...
"No!"
But what does the Bible say?
It says it.
[Romans 1:29] Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness,
maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Are we not continuing with the same thought? And isn't "being filled"
talking about the people that we were just talking about? They are being
filled with these things? So, he just said, "even as they" - Who's the
"they"? Well, in verse 27 he said men with men burning in their lust one
toward another". "And even as they" - So who's the
"they"? The men who burn in their lust one toward another.
"Even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them
over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Being filled with all unrighteousness". So what is that saying? It's saying
that these men with men who burn in their lust one toward another are
filled with all unrighteousness. So is this the only area they're messed
up in? I mean, other than that, they're great people if it weren't for this one
thing that they lust after other men. Is that what the Bible says?
No. It says that they were also filled with all unrighteousness.
Now, what does "all" mean?
Yeah. Thank you. It says, "Being filled with all unrighteousness,
fornication" - that goes without saying - "wickedness, covetousness,
maliciousness; full of envy" - what's the next word? - "murder".
Now, who believes that? Who believes the Bible tonight? That's what the
Bible says: they're filed with murder. He says, "debate, deceit, malignity;
whisperers, backbiters" - what are the next three words? - "haters of God".
Now, isn't that what God called them back in Psalm 81? "Haters of God,
despiteful, proud" - What's that event that they have again, where they march
up and down the street? What's that called again? Oh, Phoenix Pride. Oh,
Gay Pride. Yeah. I think the Bible mentions that here. "Proud". He says,
"boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without
understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable,
unmerciful". Now, is this consistent with Genesis 19 in the story of Sodom?
Because what happened in the story of Sodom? Two strangers walk into town,
innocent guys, they're having dinner, they sit down to eat a meal with Lot,
a knock comes at the door, and they say, "Bring those guys out that we may
know them. We want to get to know these guys in a way that's carnal."
And they say, "Oh, nope. You can't have these guys."
"OK. Well, we'll do worse to you than what we were going to do to them!"
No mercy.
No listening to reason.
No placating them.
Judges 19 - similar story.
Men of the city come knocking at the door. "Bring those two guys out."
You know? And they will not be satisfied. And did they show any
mercy on that woman that they abused?
They abused that woman all night until she was dead. That's what the
Bible said in Judges 19. And you know what people will lie to you and say?
They'll say this: "Oh, these homos, they're just not attracted to women."
Is that Biblical? Every single homo in the Bible went both ways.
Every single one from Genesis to Revelation.
Whether it's the story of Ham in Genesis 9, whether it's the story
of Sodom and Gomorrah, it talks about how the men of the city had wives
and children, the young of the city. When we go to Judges 19, we see that
they basically went after this woman, also. See, that's why in Leviticus
20:13 it says, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a
woman...". It doesn't say he's lying exclusively with mankind as opposed
to lying with a woman. It says, "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."
You say, "Well, you have that verse memorized? You don't even have
to turn there?" You know, you might want to make that a memory verse
too, especially if you don't like this sermon. You may need that to be
on a 3x5 card in your pocket this week - OK? - which I've done in the
past and you need to do today if you're not clear on this doctrine.
[Romans 1:32] Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are
worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
-Homosexuality is illegal in many countries of the world today.
Homosexuality has historically been illegal in the United States, and was
still illegal in some places until as late as 2003. But bizarrely,
Christians today are being taught in their churches that homosexuality
should be legal. Other pastors will admit that it should be illegal,
but are vague on what the punishment should be. The Bible only names one
punishment for the crime of homosexuality: "They shall surely
be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
-We know, to a certainy, that AIDS is transmitted in great measure
by homosexual conduct. The thought of removing that statute from the books
which prohibits homosexual conduct does not seem all that timely to me.
-Many people, even if they may not be the majority, regard it as their
right to have free choice in choosing who they love, who they want to have
sex with, and don't believe that the state should get involved.
-It's not the state; it is the society.
-But you signed it into law.
-Yes. But I'm acting on behalf of the society. It's not just the state.
It is the society, and that's why I would like to advise the Europeans
and the western groups that this is one area which should be a no-go area
because if they want a real confrontation with us, this is one
area where they're not going to make our people budge.
-But what about the equality of an individual, as the western countries
would argue, to have the right to choose what they want for themselves,
that just by virtue of being a human being, they have certain human rights,
one of which is to express themselves freely in the way that they choose?
-We cannot accept that behaving unnaturally is a human right.
-Why not?
-I was regarding it as an inborn problem.
-A genetic link to homosexuality?
-Genetic distortion. That was my argument. But now our scientists
have knocked this one out, and once you argue that it is a question of
choice, then really you have lost the argument
as far as the Ugandans are concerned.
-Do you think that by signing the bill, you're taking Uganda backwards?
-Not at all. Not at all. Uganda's the way it has always been.
The Ugandans have never supported - our society system
immemorial has never supported homosexuals.
-What is your message to western human rights groups, to President
Obama, to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people?
-Respect African societies and their values.
If you don't agree, just keep quiet. Let us manage our society, then we
will see. If we are wrong, we shall find out by ourselves.
Just the way we don't interfere with yours.
-Do you personally dislike homosexuals?
-Of course. They are disgusting. What sort of people are they?
How can you go - I never knew what they were doing. That's how I've been told
recently, that what they do is terrible. Disgusting. But I was ready
to ignore that if there was proof that that's how he is born, abnormal.
But now, the proof is not there.
-Is this about politics more than morality and religion or culture?
-Not at all.
-Because there are many critics that have said this is about 2016;
this is about the elections and the majority of people in this country
support what you are doing. They support anti-gay legislation.
-But why had I refused to sign it? Why had I refused to sign the bill
if that were the case? I had refused to sign it because I wanted - and I
was also going to sign it - maybe they would have changed it for me to sign
it until I was confronted by the science, which I demanded from
them. "You show me whether..."
-It's made you very popular, signing this bill, even more so than you are.
There are people in this country that would vote for you because of what
you did today. The MP's will win their seats
because of what you did today.
-That's not my intention. My intention was the truth, the facts,
and what is good for our country, our society.
-Turn to Leviticus 20:13, because I actually discovered the cure
for AIDS. OK? Now, this is the cure for AIDS. OK?
And, you know, everybody's talking about, "Let's have an AIDS-free world
by 2020", or, "Let's have an AIDS- free...". Look. We could have an
AIDS-free world by Christmas.
You know. OK, it wouldn't be totally AIDS-free, but we'd be like 90-some%
AIDS-free by Christmas if we would follow this. OK, here's what the Bible
says. Leviticus 20:13. "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth
with a woman," OK. It says even "both of them have commited an abomination:
they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
And that, my friend, is the cure for AIDS. It was right there
in the Bible all along. And they're out spending billions of dollars
in research and testing. It's curable. Right there. Because if you executed
the homos like God recommends, you wouldn't
have all this AIDS running rampant.
-Good evening. Those hateful words are from the mouth of a Tempe
pastor preaching that God's Word says that killing gay people is the only
way to get rid of AIDS by Christmas.
Pastor Steven Anderson has agreed to join us tonight for an exclusive
one-on-one interview. Pastor Anderson, thanks for coming in.
-Thanks for having me on.
-I have to be honest. When I heard your sermon, it sounded like the
rantings of someone who is either a hatemonger or a religious zealot,
and I'm wondering, which are you?
-Well, I'm a religious zealot, and I love the Bible. I love God's Word.
I believe that the law of the Lord is perfect, and Leviticus 20:13 clearly
says, "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." And as a Christian I believe the Bible
and that's where I get my belief.
-Doesn't the ten commandments - isn't the
first commandment "Thou shalt not kill"?
-No. The first commandment is "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
But of course...
-Is "Thou shalt not kill" one of the commandments?
-Yes it is, but what you have to understand is that the Bible commands
that certain people be put to death, not by me, not by Christians.
It's obviously not my job or the job of any Christian to go out and
kill anybody, and I've never taught anything like that, but rather that
the government's job is to punish criminals and to execute those
who've committed capital crimes, and according to the Bible,
homosexuality's a capital crime, and I didn't write the Bible.
-Some would say that just as the Taliban and the ISIS fighters
have perverted Islam and made it violent to fit their vision of the
world, that that's what you're doing, is you're perverting Christianity
to fit your vision of the world.
-Well, let the viewer read for themself. Let them pull the Bible
off their shelf and look up Leviticus 20:13 and then let them be the judge.
Intelligent people will listen to the entire sermon "AIDS: The Judgement
of God" and will pull their Bible off
their shelf and read Leviticus 20:13.
-I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, but did you say that if people
perceive you as a hatemonger or your church as a hate group, so be it?
-Absolutely. I don't care how people perceive me. They called Jesus
Beelzebub. They nailed him to the cross. And Jesus said that they
hated him because he testified of their works that their works were
evil. That's what I'm doing. That's why they hate me.
-Alright, Pastor Steven Anderson, thanks for coming in.
-Thank you.
-And if you'd like to watch the entire interview with Pastor Anderson
you can go to 12news.azcentral.com.
-We know what they are and we have not been fooled by TV and Hollywood.
The Bible says that they're full of all this unrighteousness and
uncleanness and filth and iniquity and stone them with stones, etc., etc.
And look. I'm not going to stone them with stones. I don't believe in taking
the law into my own hands. This is not a violent sermon about harming
anyone. Let me tell you something. It was supposed to be the law of
the land. Now, when Moses was in charge, it was the law of the land.
And when this country was founded, it was the law of the land in America.
You know, study your history and in America it was the death penalty
on homos even in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, you know, going back to
the early 1600's of this country.
And in those days it was against the law, and even until 2003 there were
some laws on the books against it. It's only since 2003.
The Bible says in 1 Kings 14:24,
[1 Kings 14:24] And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the
abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
[1 Kings 15:12] And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols
that his fathers had made.
[1 Kings 22:46] And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his
father Asa, he took out of the land.
[2 Kings 23:7] And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house
of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove.
So look. We don't see a tolerance here of sodomites.
-There's a new HIV infection every single minute. There's a new AIDS
death every half hour. There are 212 deaths - I'm sorry. There are 212 new
cases every day of full-blown AIDS.
-Indeed for the forseeable future throughout the world, the number
of people dying from AIDS will continue to increase dramatically.
-When you got AIDS, did it make you think again about being gay? Did it
make you rethink that lifestyle? Did it make you regret anything you've done?
-No. I have absolutely no regrets. I do not feel guilty
about anything that I've done.
-It's morally repulsive. It's just physically repulsive. It's just
repulsive across the board.
And we need to get a Biblical view tonight of this subject and not be
deceived by the world that we live in to tell us, "Oh, we just need to
just be more loving and everything's going to be fine."
You know what? That's funny, because that's what
everybody's doing and it's not working.
All the churches who are like, "Oh, let's just open our doors
and just love everybody."
Look. No queers allowed in this church. And all God's people said:
[Congregation] Amen!
There's no queers allowed.
"Is that even legal?"
[Galatians 5:23] Against such there is no law.
No homos will ever be allowed in this church as long as I'm the pastor here.
Never!
-The time has come for Christians to stop listening to the media,
the politicians, and the watered-down preachers of our day, and to get
back to a biblical view of the sodomites. We must protect ourselves
and our children from these dangerous disease-filled predators. Our nation
has become a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah and it is our job as
Christians to hold forth the Word of Life in the midst of a crooked
and perverse nation among whom we shine as lights in the world.
-It's filthy!
It's vile!
They're wicked!
And AIDS is the judgment of God tonight!

THE BIBLE WAY TO HEAVEN Pastor Steven L. Anderson
The Bible's really clear on salvation. It's not based on how good you are.
A lot of people think they're pretty good, you know, and yeah, they're
going to get to Heaven because they're pretty good, but the Bible says,
[Romans 3:23] "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God".
[Romans 3:10] The Bible says, "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one".
I'm not righteous, you're not righteous, and if it were our goodness
that would get us into Heaven, none of us would be going.
THE BIBLE WAY TO HEAVEN 1. Admit you are a sinner.
Because the Bible even says in Revelation 21:8, "But the fearful,
and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers,
and sorcerers, and idolaters," - and listen to this - "and all liars, shall
have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:
which is the second death." I've lied before. Everybody's lied
before. So, we've all sinned and we've done stuff worse than lying.
Let's face it. We all deserve Hell.
2. Realize the penalty for sin.
[Romans 5:8] But the Bible says, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we
were yet sinners, Christ died for us." And so Jesus Christ, because he loves
us, came to this earth. The Bible says he was God manifest in the flesh. [1 Timothy 3:16]
God basically took on human form. He lived a sinless life. He did not
commit any sin. And of course they beat him and spit on him and nailed
him to the cross. The Bible says that when he was on that cross, he himself
[1 Peter 2:24] bare our sins in his own body on the tree. So every sin you've ever
done, every sin I've ever done, it was as if Jesus had done it. He was
being punished for our sins. And then of course they took his body, when he
died, they took his body and buried it in the tomb and his soul went down
to Hell for three days and three nights (Acts 2:31). Three days later
he rose again from the dead, he showed unto the disciples the holes in his
hands, and the Bible's really clear that Jesus did die for everybody.
[1 John 2:2] It says that he died not for our sins only, but also for the sins of the
whole world. But there's something that we must do to be saved.
The Bible says - it has that question in Acts 16: "What must I do to be
saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be
saved, and thy house." And that's it. He didn't say, "Join a church and
you'll be saved; get baptized and you'll be saved; live a good life and
you'll be saved; repent of all your sins and you'll be saved."
No. He said believe.
3. Believe that Jesus died, was buried, and rose again for you.
And even the most famous verse in the whole Bible - I mean, the reference is
written on the bottom of the cup at In-'N-Out Burger. I mean, it's so
famous. Everybody's heard of it. John 3:16. "For God so loved the
world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life." And everlasting
means everlasting. It means forever. And Jesus said, "I give unto them
[John 10:28] eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man
pluck them out of my hand." The Bible says in John 6:47, "Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life."
Because if you believe on Jesus Christ, the Bible says you have
everlasting life. You're going to live forever. You can't lose your
salvation. It's eternal; it's everlasting. Once you're saved,
once you believe on him, you're saved forever, and no matter what, you can
never lose your salvation. Even if I were to go out and commit some
awful sin, God will punish me for it on this earth. If I went out and
killed somebody today, you know, God's going to make sure I get
punished. I'm going to prison, or far worse, or the death penalty, whatever
this earth punishes me, and God's going to make sure I get punished
even more. But I'm not going to Hell. There's nothing I could do to go to
Hell because I'm saved. And if I went to Hell, God lied because he promised
that whoever believes in him has everlasting life. And he said,
[John 11:26] "Whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die."
That's why there are a lot of examples of people in the Bible who did some
really bad stuff, yet they made it to Heaven. How? Because they
were so good? No. It's because they believed on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Their sins are forgiven. Other people who may have lived a better life
in the world's eyes, or maybe even really they lived a better life, if
they don't believe in Christ, they're going to
have to go to Hell to be punished for their sins.
4. Trust Christ alone as your saviour.
And let me just close on this one thought. One thing that I wanted to
be sure and bring up today is that, there was a question that was asked
to Jesus by one of his disciples, and that question was this:
[Luke 13:23] "Are there few that be saved?"
That's a good question, right?
I mean, are most people saved, or is it few that are saved?
Now, who here thinks that most people are going to Heaven, most people
in this world are going to Heaven? Yeah, guess what the answer was.
He said - in Matthew 7 for example, he said, "Enter ye in at the strait
[Matthew 7:13-14] gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the
gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be
that find it." And then he went on to say this: He said,
[Matthew 7:21-23] "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is
in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy
name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them,
I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." And so you
see, there are people out there - First of all, the majority of this
world doesn't even claim to believe in Jesus. Thankfully, the majority of
this classroom claims to believe in Jesus, OK? But the majority of the
world does not claim to believe in Jesus. But God warned that even
amongst those who claim to believe in Jesus, even amongst those that call
him Lord, many will be saying to him, "What abou- we did all these wonderful
works. Why aren't we saved?" He's going to say, "Depart from me.
I never knew you." That's because salvation's not by works, and if
you're trusting your own works to save you, if you think you're going to
Heaven because you've been baptized, or if you think, "Well, I think you
have to live a good life. I think you have to keep the commandments to be
saved. I think you have to go to church. I think you've got to turn
from your sins." You know, if you're trusting in your works, Jesus is going
to say to you one day, "Depart from me. I never knew you." You have to
have all your faith in what he did. You have to put your faith in what
Jesus did on the cross, when he died for you, he was buried, and rose again.
That's your ticket into Heaven. If you're trusting all the things -
"Oh, I'm going to Heaven because I'm such a good Christian and I do all
these wonderful things", he's going to say, "Depart from me." And notice
what he said: "Depart from me. I never knew you." Not, "I used to know you",
because once he knows you - remember I mentioned this earlier - it's
everlasting. It's eternal. Once he knows you, you're saved forever.
But he's going to say, "Depart from me. I never knew you", because if you
go to Hell, it's because he never knew you. Because once he knows
you, he knows you. It's just like my children will always be my children.
When you're born again, when you're his child, you'll always be his child.
You may be the black sheep of the family, you may be somebody who gets
disciplined by God heavily on this earth, you can screw up your life
down here, but you can't screw that up. You're saved. It's a done deal.
And so that's the main thing that I wanted to present to you about the
end times, and we do have just a few minutes for questions
about either salvation or about the end times.
Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I know I deserve to go to Hell. But I believe you died on the cross for me
and rose again. Please save me right now and give me eternal life. I'm only trusting in you, Jesus. Amen.
