Proud of sin.

A year after British Prime Minister Cameron promised to legalize homosexual marriage by 2015, he touted Britain as “the best place to be gay, lesbian or transgender anywhere in Europe” (Telegraph, July 24, 2013).

Mr. Cameron proudly stated that he is “probably the only Conservative Prime Minister who’s taken this step” and that “he wanted to ‘export’ same sex marriage around the world so other countries could follow suit” (ibid.). He also wants his gay marriage bill-writing team to assist other nations in writing legislation to legalize homosexual marriage (ibid.).

However, the Bible clearly identifies homosexuality as sin (Leviticus 18:22; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10) and it clearly defines marriage between “one man and one woman” (Genesis 2:24). Prophecies also warn of end-time leaders “who call evil good, and good evil” (Isaiah 5:20) and openly flaunt their sinful behavior (Isaiah 3:9). While God loves all people (even sinners), He commands us to “flee sexual immorality”—which includes homosexuality (1 Corinthians 6:18). 

We need to remember that “God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7). There will be serious consequences for nations and leaders who act contrary to God’s laws (Jeremiah 2:17-19; 23:32).  For more on the future of nations who export sin, read The United State and Great Britain in Prophecy.
