Spiritual Warfare - LGBT

 The other day, I was sitting around my apartment, and some questions came to me about Spiritual Warfare and LGBT.

The Question:  How would you defeat LGBT? 

You don't actually have to defeat LGBT, which is a social construct, when it comes to Spiritual Warfare.  Someone who cared would only have to defeat people calling themselves Christians, who have been giving authority to Satan and Occultists.  

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.  (Ephesians 6:12) 

 When talking about Spiritual Warfare, we can address and attack bad ideas.  Did someone take it personally?  With their soul, their identity, they may have been loving bad philosophy or theology, and identifying in something "Not Christian."  The enemy wasn't necessarily someone walking around in the Castro District of San Francisco.  The enemy was potentially someone in authority in the Church who was ceding things to Satan.  

How are we supposed to pray?  On Earth as it is in heaven.  Did someone on Earth over the last 2000 years end up with authority?  This gets into some touchy denominational issues that I have worked to stay out of.  Who had authority?  Someone did.  That authority may have ended up in a tradition within various Christian Churches.  Were the Anglicans ceding authority to Satan, and doing the wrong things in Freemasonry? 

Who is someone more of "one mind" with?  God fearing Christians or Secular Humanist/Non-Believers, leading into an understanding of the Occult?   

LGBT is a social construct.  Gay meant happy.  It is not too hard to find a song from the 50's where someone was singing about being gay.  The perception of the word suddenly shifted due to people around the New York Times, and associated with Rev Jesse Jackson, and the Counter Culture during the 1980's.  A rainbow was an innocent thing that any child may have drawn.  A rainbow is a sign of God's promise not to flood the Earth.  Rev Jesse Jackson had a "Rainbow Coalition."  Did LGBT adopt a Rainbow flag associated with Jackson's Rainbow Coalition? 

In the Counter Culture, and hyphenated Americanism, there was Black Power or Nationalism, Latino Power or Nationalism, White Power and Nationalism, Feminism, and LGBT.  Singing The Black National Anthem during the Super Bowl, that is not too much different than LGBT co-opting and flying its own flag.  LGBT is a Social Construct, and a culture.  Someone is only LGBT when they choose to identify in LGBT Culture.  

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.  (2 Corinthians 10:5) 

Part of Spiritual Warfare has been a war of words, a war of thoughts.  How does man perceive himself?  How does man perceive God?  Given perceptions were changing away from the Kingdom of God, there may have been Christians doing wrong.

The Body of Christ is society.  The Body of Christ is organic.  Some are the hands, some the feet, some the eyes, some the mouth.  We all have a function in the Body.  (Ephesians 4:11)  Sin in the body may be like a wound.  Wounds fester.  Given your left hand causes you to sin, cut it off.  Being cut off may be like an exile or excommunication....or worse. 

Where are the borders of the Body of Christ?  The be Holy is to be separate.  Christians are to be a light unto the unbeliever.  Given people can't tell the difference between Christians, and people living in sin at Columbia University, there is a problem. 

Name a Christian Church that believes in "No-Fault Divorce?"  I don't know of one.  All 50 states have allowed for No-Fault Divorce.  Are Secular Judges in the US, are they King Henry VIII, wielding all authority in both Church and State?  For all 50 states to allow for No-Fault Divorce, Christians were ceding something. 

To be Holy is to be separate.  To defeat a lot of bad ideas, to include LGBT, Christians should be coming together to form Christian Communities more similar to how the Ultra Orthodox Jews in New York have their own community, where Christians are living in Christian neighborhoods.  A lot has changed since 1960, and there was prayer in schools.  In the US, we no longer have a shared sense of values.  There has been a culture war.  People who choose to be "not Christian" in their values, need to be excluded.  Part of how we do that is form Christian communities.  Given people want to live in a "Secular Society," they can do that.  They can live in San Francisco with its high crime, and businesses leaving.  Christians should be living in their own communities, their own neighborhoods, where it is clear where the boarders of the Kingdom of God are.  

Have you noticed how "Liberals" have tended to want to force themselves, and their opinions onto people, and attach themselves to things?  ESPN used to be about sports.  ESPN was the most popular and successful cable news channel.  Disney bought ESPN, and started injecting politics into it.  Satanism is like a leech.  Christians don't need Satan.  Satan has fed off of Christians.  In similar way, Liberals, have needed to attach themselves to things like ESPN or Star Wars or Star Trek or various Intellectual Properties.  They suck them dry.  They need to be cut off. 

Something to pray and reflect on.  This may be under construction.  We briefly covered a lot of deep ideas.  I suppose we may need to go into some more detail later.
