Coming Out

Apparently October 11 is the annual “Coming Out Day” as recognized by gay, lesbian, and all other divergent sexually immoral individuals who wish to make their friends and family aware of their sexual practices.

Being distant from that side of things, I was unaware of this being an actual awareness day, but I suppose that is something that will be remedied. The small but growing population of people who make this their agenda will certainly see to it that we all recognize “COD” as a national holiday.

As I took care of some chores this morning, Adonai gave me a verse to ponder. The more I considered it, the more I realized the term “coming out” is another factor of Christianity that is being hijacked by the Sodomites and their allies. Just like the rainbow, and human sexuality in marriage, they have taken something beautiful that was created by Yahweh and co-opted it into something that turns His stomach. Satan is the master counterfeiter, and he is certainly skilled in what he does, but just like with currency, someone who knows and studies the Master craftsman can easily spot the counterfeit, and has a duty to call it out.

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
2 Corinthians 6:17

Yahweh is calling us to come out. Come out from being unequally yoked together with unbelievers. Come out from the darkness. Come out from idolatry. Come out from fellowshipping with infidels and wicked people. This is the doctrine of separation. Believers in Messiah are to come out of the world and resist it. Resist its hold on us, its influence over us, and its appeal to us. We are not to fit in. We are not to be accepted.This is not to say we should be unpleasant, nor should we head for the hills and become hermits or live in communes. No, we are to be a light on a hill, shining for all to see (Matthew 5:14-16), but when lovers of darkness see a light, they will seek to extinguish it. If we allow our light to be taken by the darkness, it will be put out. We will cease to be a witness, and thus will no longer be effective for our Messiah.

Christians of every stripe, heed these words! You MUST be a light in this dark world! Messiah promised His mission and message would be a target of hatred by the dark forces of this world, and YOU are not immune to their attacks, but that is the whole point. We are not called to be friends to wickedness! No, we were called first to repentance, then to a relationship with our Saviour, then to evangelism and discipleship, and with all of this is the duty to separate ourselves from the ways and desires of the world. Of wickedness.
