A Curse, Without Cause, Cannot Occur...

The 2nd verse of the 26th chapter of the book of Proverbs reads as follows:

“As the sparrow by wandering; as the swallow by flying, so the curse that is causeless lighteth not.”

In other words, a curse, without cause, cannot occur.

Inculcated within this Biblical injunction is the universal law of cause and effect. For example, the horrible bubonic plague that occurred in medieval Europe was a curse; people living in filth was the cause. The terrible swine flu virus that killed 20 million people worldwide in 1918 was a curse; the slaughtering and eating of swine flesh was the cause [see Leviticus 11:7-8]. The deadly AIDS virus – discovered in 1981 – is a curse; homosexuality is the cause. A curse occurs whenever the laws of God are disobeyed over a prolonged period of time...

As long as certain members of society continue to disobey the laws of God that are found in the Old Testament, the deadly disease AIDS – which is seemingly incurable – will continue to ravage and plague this land and the world, leaving death in its wake as it begins to reach epidemic proportions...

There are two things that are forbidden by God in ALL the holy books of the world (i.e., The Holy Bible, The Holy Qur’an, The Hindu Vedic Scriptures, The Bhagavad Gita and The Torah). They are: the eating of swine flesh (pork) and the practice of homosexuality. In the Bible the law regarding the sins of homosexuality can be found in the book of Leviticus 18:22-30, which reads as follows:

“Thou shalt not lie down with mankind as with womankind; it is an abomination. Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith; neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto; it is confusion.

Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things, for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: And the land is defiled; therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.

Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, or any stranger that sojourneth among you (for all these abominations have the men done that were before you, and the land is defiled), so that the land spew not you out also - when ye defile it - as it spewed out the nations that were before you.

For whosoever shall commit them shall be cut off from their people. Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye shall not commit any of these abominable customs which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein. I am the Lord your God.”

(Leviticus 18:22-30)

We must be realistic in attempting to solve the problem of the deadly disease AIDS. Encouraging the public to use condoms is absurd. This is tantamount to saying that it is okay to indulge in homosexual activity and have anal intercourse, but use condoms! This is immoral foolishness...

A better way of solving the problem is to isolate these abnormal people, i.e., put all homosexuals and lesbians together in some separate, designated area. As a result they will soon become extinct, because neither of these groups believe in the propagation of the human species. The fact is, homosexuals and lesbians need society, but society does not need homosexuals and lesbians...

Remember, AIDS is a curse, and a curse, without cause, cannot occur...

According to Reuters, young gay and bisexual men, especially in the African-American community, are becoming infected with HIV at rates like these groups had when the AIDS epidemic peaked in the mid-1980s, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) said recently.

In a study released to mark the 20th anniversary of the discovery of AIDS, U.S. health experts said that the virus might be poised to make a strong comeback, particularly among gay and bisexual males between the ages of 23 and 29. The CDC said insufficiently targeted health education programs, growing complacency in the wake of successful drug therapies, and the continuing stigma attached to AIDS patients could be responsible for the alarming rise in infection by HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

The Atlanta-based federal agency followed a group of 2,942 young bisexual and gay males in six U.S. cities from 1998 to 2000, and found that every year an additional 4.4% tested HIV-positive. The rate of new infection for African-Americans in the group was 14.7%, almost six times the 2.5% rate for white members of the group. "These are explosive HIV incidence rates," said Dr. Linda Valleroy, the CDC epidemiologist who led the study.

However, the CDC admitted that its small sample might not be representative of all gay men, but it described the study's findings as a "critical" public health matter. CDC researchers noted that the new HIV infection rates it found among young gay and bisexual African-American males were comparable to rates recorded in parts of Africa, considered the continent hardest hit by AIDS.

One-third of all U.S. African-American gay and bisexual males under the age of 30 are HIV-positive, according to the CDC. Phill Wilson, executive director of the African-American AIDS Policy and Training Institute, said, " With the exception of Botswana, if you are Black, gay and under the age of 30 in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit or any urban area, you are more likely to be HIV-positive than if you lived in the hardest-hit areas in sub-Saharan Africa."

The CDC, which hopes to cut the annual rate of new HIV infections in half within five years, said there was an urgent need to expand HIV prevention programs to young gay males and others at high risk.

Homosexuality is a normal lifestyle within the context of western Caucasian culture. It is abnormal in the cultures of people of color...

"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination."

(Leviticus 18:22)

"If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them."

(Leviticus 20:13)

Where did this part come from?????? and I would say that this is about as harsh as it gets.

You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination."

(Leviticus 18:22)

"If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them."

Homosexuality is a normal lifestyle within the context of Western Caucasian culture...it is an abnormal lifestyle in the cultures of people of color...Where did this part come from?Research, study and observation...as evidenced by this recent article:

ATLANTA, GA (Reuters) - A rare, sexually-transmitted disease that is spreading among gay and bisexual men in Europe could be poised to surface in the United States, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said Thursday.

The CDC urged doctors and clinics across the nation to be prepared to diagnose and treat gay and bisexual men infected with lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV).

It issued the advice after receiving reports of recent outbreaks in the Netherlands. The northern European nation has uncovered 92 cases of LGV dating back to 2003. It typically sees fewer than five cases per year.

Although LGV can be cured by a three-week course of antibiotics, U.S. health officials could be hard-pressed to keep a lid on the spread of the infection because it is uncommon in industrialized nations and easily misdiagnosed. Efforts to combat the disease also are complicated by the tendency of some gay and bisexual men to engage in high-risk sexual behavior.

The infection is caused by specific strains of chlamydia, a sexually-transmitted disease, and usually marked by genital ulcers, swollen lymph glands and flu-like symptoms.

However, most of the men recently infected in the Netherlands developed gastrointestinal bleeding, inflammation of the rectum and colon, and other problems not often associated with the infection or other sexually-transmitted diseases.

Belgium, France, Sweden and Britain also have reported infections. It is not known whether America is seeing a similar surge because U.S. doctors are not required to report the infections to local health departments. "We expect it's a question of time before we see cases appearing here," said Dr. Stuart Berman, chief of the epidemiology and surveillance branch in the CDC's Division of STD Prevention. "This is an early warning."

Dutch authorities found that a large number of the men recently infected with LGV had participated in sex parties and unprotected anal intercourse in the year before getting sick. Many also were infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS...

Hmmmm! Thank you for keeping the message out here Brother Aqil! Sometimes when its out of sight, it is out of mind!

No doubt, PurpleMoons, and your quite welcome...

Islam is the most rigidly anti-homosexual in its theology of all the world religions. The verses from the Qur'an condemning homosexuality are much clearer than those that the Christians use. In all Muslim countries - and all areas where the Islamic Shariah law is enforced - homosexuality is strictly illegal...

All of Islam fits within the area of Christianity that we call "fundamentalist" with regards to sexuality. The debates in Islam about homosexuality are not about whether it is acceptable, but merely about how severe the punishment should be. So although there are liberal and strict elements within Islam re: homosexuality, even the liberal opinion is the lesser of two evils...
Statement by the Islamic Society of North America:

"Homosexuality is a moral disorder. It is a moral disease, a sin and corruption. No person is born homosexual, just like no one is born a thief, a liar or murderer. People acquire these evil habits due to a lack of proper guidance and education.

There are many reasons why it is forbidden in Islam. Homosexuality is dangerous for the health of the individuals and for the society. It is a main cause of one of the most harmful and fatal diseases. It is disgraceful for both men and women. It degrades a person. Islam teaches that men should be men and women should be women. Homosexuality deprives a man of his manhood and a woman of her womanhood. It is the most unnatural way of life. Homosexuality leads to the destruction of family life."

Interesting Thread brotha!

My overstanding of homosexuality is that it has to do with being possessed by an inbalanced spirit

Homosexuality is a sexual orientation characterized by esthetic attraction or sexual desire exclusively for another of the same sex. It is a deviant behavior that is a normal lifestyle within the context of western Caucasian culture. It is abnormal in the cultures of people of color...
