More on the BRAC List

The BRAC list was just posted and where our national security force comes from needs to be addressed in moral terms as well as budgetary constraints. Defining homosexual orientation for members of our military with no moral overtones is a very dangerous defense for America's future, and the communities that were not on the BRAC closure list but scheduled for further expansion may be exposed to an ever increasing homosexual political agenda.

Now, if any member of our armed forces told the world that he was a rapist, and has known it since he was a teenager; or that he was a child molester, or given to bestiality, or to theft, or to sadomasochism, or to wife abuse, one hopes that the our military and civilian leaders may recognize how defenseless we would become. It is hard to conceive of any member of the Navy saying "he is sexually attracted to goats, and has known it since he was a teenager," or "he is sexually excited by hurting women, and has known it since he was a teenager." A drug dealer is not a moral person, nor is a prostitute nor a dominatrix, simply because his or her clients seek out his services.

An act is right or wrong if God says it is right or wrong. He says that murder, theft and adultery are wrong (Romans 13:9). He also says that homosexuality is wrong (cf. 1 Corinthians 6:9, 1 Timothy 1:10, among others).

The media still usually frowns on murder and theft; they're not so sure about adultery. Homosexuality, however, is currently exempt from all criticism and the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" is a violation in ethical and Biblical proportions. And this is where it matters in order to maintain a strong military. If a sailor cannot figure out that homosexuality is contrary to nature (Romans 1:26-27), and if he does not care that it is contrary to God's will (1 Corinthians 6:9, 1 Timothy 1:10), then we know from the outset that his moral compass is tragically out of whack. whether he's on shore or at sea. He's unreliable. Like any broken analog clock, he'll be right every so often -- but it will be a happy coincidence, nothing more.

We want our elected officials, our legislators, and our military leadership to understand justice.

But Proverbs 28:5a tells us that "Evil men do not understand justice."

What defines a man as "evil"?

Opposition to the person and word of God.
