African Bishop Points Out Hypocrisy of Obama’s Pro-Homosexual Agenda

US leader stands accused of the same bullying he himself denounced on eve of African trip

President Barack Obama’s cajoling of Kenyan leaders to accept “LGBT rights” has met with a notable backlash from African bishops and other state and religious leaders, with one African bishop drawing attention to the hypocrisy of Obama's LGBT agenda.

Obama arrived in Kenya for a two-day visit on Friday, his first visit to his father’s homeland as US president, before heading to Ethiopia on Sunday for a one-day visit. At a joint press conference held with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta on Saturday, Obama advocated for his administration’s pro-LGBT agenda, comparing Kenya’s policy toward gays to the treatment of blacks in the United States prior to the civil rights movement.

“As an African American in the United States, I am painfully aware of the history of what happens when people are treated differently under the law. There were all sorts of rationalizations that were provided by the power structure for decades in the United States for segregation and they were wrong,” he said.

“The State does not need to weigh in on religious doctrine; the State has to treat everybody equally under the law and then everybody else can have their opinions,” Obama clarified.

Yet President Kenyatta clearly was not convinced by the US leader’s words, dismissing the matter as a “non-issue” for Kenyans.

“The fact of the matter is Kenya and the US share so many values: common love for democracy, entrepreneurship, value for families — these are some things that we share,” Kenyatta said.

“But there are some things that we must admit we don’t share, our culture, our societies don’t accept. It is very difficult for us to be able to impose on people that which they themselves do not accept..

But it is NOT difficult for Thy Lord And Savior, the Obama, the Messiah, The Won, who can make the seas rise and fall and heal the planet, and if you don't accept Him into your heart, you are obviously a secret white supremacist!

I have to disagree with the Archbishop. Homosexuals ARE wicked, evil people.

Rom 1:27 And in the same way the men gave up the natural use of the woman and were burning in their desire for one another, men doing shame with men, and getting in their bodies the right reward of their evil-doing.

As long as religious leadership refuses to identify them correctly, and call their behavior wicked, and that they’ll be cast into hell and mercilessly tortured for all eternity by God Himself, we’ll continue to lose ground to the depraved culture.

I agree, when they are talking about homosexuals they are not talking about people who have just been guilty of making a stupid blunder, they are talking about people who are committed to defying God and Gods natural laws.

Correct. God equates the behavior with murder, prescribing the same punishment for both in the Old Testament. And in the New Testament, in Rev. 21:8, God once again equates abomination with murder, declaring He’ll cast them into the lake of fire.

So when the archbishop said what he said, it was the same as saying he doesn’t think murderers are evil people.

Really and truly, the only way out of God’s wrath and back into His blessings is to re-shame and re-criminalize all behaviors God abhors. This ain’t rocket science.

I hope and pray God’s wrath continues to become more severe against the U.S. for as long as we continue to be depraved and try to export our depravity, and I hope and pray God’s blessings fall on all nations that show their love for God by being obedient to Him.

Personally I think it may be worse than murder because the person that is murdered is either saved or not.

But they promote this sick life style to young people who may not yet know who God is.

I hope and pray God’s wrath continues to become more severe against the U.S. >>>>>>>>

I think we will see it get worse.
