Based on the above comments, as well as statements from other well-intentioned organizations, there appears to be a fair amount of confusion within the Body of Christ on the Christian’s response to the rise and legal toleration of sodomy. Below are a few summary concepts which outline key aspects of Vision Forum’s position on the issue.

I. The Bible teaches that all nations, political leaders and judges are to acknowledge Jesus Christ and obey His eternal, non-optional moral law. There are no exceptions. The Scripture patterns believers confronting and calling political leaders to repentance for toleration of moral sins, regardless of whether such leaders were of the “chosen people” or pagan secularists. Christians are to avoid the sin of Jonah which is to presumptuously pass judgment on the final outcome of a nation, and refuse to deliver God’s call for national repentance. Enforcing God’s righteous legal standards is not a form of unbiblical coercion, but a God-appointed restraint against the spread of wickedness.

II. American Christians have a heightened duty to hold political leaders accountable to God’s moral law for two reasons: First, America is a nation covenantally founded on a charter which explicitly acknowledged the God of the Bible as the author of laws and the ultimate source of authority, and which incorporated the Christian common law by direct reference into our national charter. Thus, we have a covenantal duty to hold our leaders accountable to our national covenant, which though not perfect, is largely influenced by Christianity. Second, God has allowed American Christians to be part of the political franchise and He entrusted us with the sacred duty of representing Him through our votes and influence in the political process. To refuse to faithfully represent the Lord where we have been given authority and responsibility to do so is both wicked and ungrateful.

III. Vision Forum opposes the pagan notion of pluralism, even as we oppose the idea that the rise of pluralism in our country has rendered our national covenant null and void, and relieved believers of the duty to stand for Jesus Christ without compromise in the gates of the land. By virtue of the law of God and our national covenant, America should serve only Jesus Christ and acknowledge Him alone as the true lawgiver.

IV. Vision Forum believes homosexuality is a moral perversion to be publicly denounced. Homosexuality is a sin of choice, not a genetically produced birth defect and no concessions should be granted to the trendy and politically driven scientific theories of the present generation. Furthermore, we oppose the use of politically correct and misleading language like “gay” to describe sodomite behavior.

V. Individuals engaged in habitual and unrepentant homosexuality should not ever assume themselves to be in Christ. Nor do moral perverts have any hope whatsoever for eternal life which can be found in a baptism they may have received as a baby. The biblical assumption is that practicing homosexuals are lost and bound for Hell, absent genuine spiritual regeneration. They must be saved, which means that the Holy Spirit has regenerated them, opening their heart to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, which will result in repentance and turning from sin. It is the mission of the Christian, and is no contradiction, that we lovingly preach repentance to sodomites, even as we seek to drive from the land every manifestation of homosexuality. Furthermore, Sodomy was a punishable crime at common law and should remain such. Any politician who supports same sex marriage or civil marriage for sodomites is complicit in a moral crime against God and should be actively opposed.

VI. Homosexuality is not a victimless crime. It is a cruel moral perversion that wreaks moral, physical and spiritual havoc on men, women, children, families and institutions. The Bible makes no distinction between homosexuals, pedophiles, bestials and rapists. All are criminals, the toleration of which brings judgment on the land and devastation to children.

VII. Because homosexuality is both a judgment and source of judgment, the answer to the moral and legal crime of homosexuality is multi-faceted and must be linked to responsible action within each sphere over which Christ claims His lordship, namely the family, the church and the state: First, the absence of biblical patriarchy leads to male effeminacy which leads to homosexuality. Biblical patriarchy must be re-established within the home. To the extent that families have embraced evolutionary or feminist principles of family life (be that the birth control ethic, the effeminate “career wife” model of household provision, or the Greco-Roman vision for educating children) they must repent and return to the “old paths.” Second, the Church needs to repent of similar issues, begin to promote biblical manhood and categorically reject its current love-affair with pagan values and methodologies. Third, our national leaders and our voting citizenry need to repent of the toleration of policies and practices which are morally perverse and contrary to true law. The rulings of judges, who attempt to enforce rules or “laws” calling for the vivisection of babies or special rights for sodomites, must be disregarded, and such judges should be removed from office. Political leaders who promote or tolerate moral perversion must be confronted and actively opposed.

VIII. The wisest, most fundamental and constitutionally sound legal approach to preventing the spread of moral perversion is not to amend the constitution for every possible crime that surfaces, but to enforce the law and the present Constitution. This is accomplished (1) through acts of lawful interposition by judges and lawmakers who refuse to enforce unlawful pro-sodomite orders and rulings; (2) through Article III limitations on the courts, stripping them of the ability to speak to certain issues; and (3) by impeaching or removing from office by other means those lawless lawmakers and judges. Vision Forum specifically supports the Constitution Restoration Act (CRA) as the most practical and sound method for accomplishing this goal.
