Bill Muehlenberg has spent thirty years of his life writing books on the culture war. He’s one of the few Christians who actually understand what radical homosexual activists have in mind. “And it sure ain’t pretty.” Their final goal,” he says, “is to totally silence the churches – the true churches that is. They have no problems at all with the lukewarm and compromised churches – indeed, they love them, and are fully using them to achieve all their goals.” So my brethren, don’t say you weren’t warned.
I know I should no longer be surprised about these sorts of things happening, but it still leaves my head and spirit reeling: I will write about something so utterly clear in Scripture that no biblical Christian could differ, yet that happens anyway.
I will get bus-loads’ full of so-called Christian pastors, leaders and others absolutely foaming at the mouth at me and what I write. Instead of agreeing with God about clearly defined sin, they will blast me for daring to affirm biblical truth and morality.
They have imbibed of the world and its values for so long that they actually think they are doing God a favour when they effectively promote sin and unrighteousness, and attack those who dare to sound the alarm. Indeed I have now become convinced of this truth (paraphrased from something Dennis Prager recently said):
When you cease to resist evil, you will start to hate those who do.
We of course get this from the world all the time. But the really shocking and frightening thing is when people calling themselves Christians do this. I have had heaps of hate and abuse from “Christians” over the past two days because I have dared to challenge a “Christian” icon and a trendy social cause.
I committed the PC crime of daring to question the Christian credentials of Bono and U2 as they pushed the diabolical line that there is nothing wrong with sodomite marriage, but in fact is a good thing, and Jesus would fully support it, because it is all about “lurve baby”. That piece appeared here:billmuehlenberg.com/2015/05/23/fake-christians-fake-marriage/
But the number of people in Christian leadership who have attacked me on this, and who have defended Bono and U2 and homosexual marriage has just boggled my mind, grieved my spirit, rattled my soul, and reminded me once again how utterly apostate, compromised and carnal so much of the church has become.
When you have Christian leaders defending sin and attacking those who speak against it, then you know that we are in a very bad way. And of course I have lost count over the past few days of the number of times ‘Christians’ have accused me of every evil in the world, all the while telling me how sinful it is for believers to judge someone!
I could fill a small library with books featuring examples of this from over the years. They will absolutely lay into me, calling me every name in the book, as they tell me how unChristlike it is to judge people! When people reject God’s absolutes and make up their own morality, it seems that their minds start to turn to mush as well.
I suppose what is even more tragic is these Christians have simply bought the entire agenda of the homosexual activists. They have completely rejected what the word of God so clearly teaches on this, and they simply parrot the wisdom of the surrounding secular left culture.
And they think they are being good Christians! This is so sad, so tragic. They regurgitate everything the militants say: “This is all about love”. “Love and commitment are what matters.” “Who are you to judge?” “There is no slippery slope here.” “Christians cannot impose their morality on others.” “Jesus just wants us to love, and not judge anybody.”
I expect these inane and vacuous bumper sticker cliches to be thrown at me by the homosexualists, but when we get “Christian” leaders pushing this, then we know we have lost big time. They are utterly clueless. They simply have no idea. They are completely in the fog as to the war we are in.
I have spent thirty years writing three books on this. I know full well what the homosexual activists have in mind. And it sure ain’t pretty. Their final goal is to totally silence the churches – the true churches that is. They have no problems at all with the lukewarm and compromised churches – indeed, they love them, and are fully using them to achieve all their goals.
So they love these clueless wonders who are doing their work for them, but they hate the true Christians and the true churches who are still committed to the absolute word of God, and will not capitulate and cave in to the agenda of the world.
When the secularists and the homosexual activists have achieved full hegemony in the West, real churches will be forced to close or go underground, while the sin-affirming ones will continue to do business as usual. In my latest book I documented nearly 200 cases of Christians losing their jobs, being fined, or even jailed for daring to affirm biblical truth and uphold heterosexual marriage.
That is just the tip of the iceberg. Every day we find more examples of this. Whenever special rights for homosexuals are granted, especially sodomite marriage, then the rights of everyone else are at risk. And it is overwhelmingly biblical Christians who are feeling the wrath of the homosexual/state axis of evil.
Yet these clueless Christians are utterly lost in space about all this, or – and this is my real worry – they do know this is going on, but they actually think it is a good thing. Yes, these so-called progressive Christian leaders actually think biblical Christians are the problem here, while the various activists groups are the good guys.
They think the real obstacle to progress and to the flowering of Christian “love” are those Christians who still adhere to biblical truth. ‘If we can just get them out of the way, then we can all proceed into an earthly promised land.’ Just as we had apostate Christian leaders and rock stars pushing sodomite marriage in Ireland, all over the West they are doing the work of the activists.
The activists just sit back and laugh, overjoyed at how easy their agenda is being realised, thanks to all these Christian ‘useful idiots,’ to borrow Lenin’s phrase. Indeed, those who have actually read the plans of the homosexual militants know just how much they have counted on the co-opting of the churches to achieve all their aims.
Just as they strategised, it is all going nicely according to plan. And these totally unaware leaders are being used as dupes and suckers – and sadly, some are being used in full awareness and compliance. They are the real problem: willing accomplices of this anti-God agenda.
As I have said before, one very good thing about all this is the fact that the sheep are being clearly separated from the goats. Things are becoming much more clear and precise here. There are those Christians who will never abandon Christ and his word, while there will be those who simply go with the flow, follow the world, and cheer on sin and abuse those who don’t.
The apostate church is becoming more and more well-defined. When a Christian stands for biblical truth, and gets hated on by other “Christian” leaders, then you know the sifting process has begun in earnest. The only thing remaining is for the true disciples of Christ to stand firm.
Even if they become a tiny minority, they must resist not only the world, but the apostate church, and remain true to God and his word. And the whole area of sexuality is one of these key battlefields. As J. Lee Grady said in a recent book, “The truth is that this current generation of church leadership has rendered itself powerless when facing the Goliath of sexual compromise.”
But now is not the time to compromise, whether it is on marriage, or homosexuality, or whatever. As A. W. Tozer said: “We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.”
A. B. Simpson had it right when he said: “The chief danger of the Church today is that it is trying to get on the same side as the world, instead of turning the world upside down. Our Master expects us to accomplish results, even if they bring opposition and conflict. Anything is better than compromise, apathy, and paralysis. God give to us an intense cry for the old-time power of the Gospel and the Holy Ghost!”

Fake Christians, Fake Marriage by Bill Muhlenberg
Would the Son of God Contradict the Father? by Marsha West
first of all, homosexuals do not ‘love’, they lust. That is what the Bible teaches, from Romans 1:27, ‘and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another’. According to God’s own word, it isn’t ‘experiencing same sex attraction’ is it? It’s ‘burning in their lust one toward another’. This is NOT a normal ‘crush’ on someone, or a ‘love interest’ in someone; this is disgusting, forbidden, raw lust. The text describes ‘a burning’, ‘ekkaiō’, which means ‘to inflame deeply’. It’s formed from two root words, ‘ek ex’, which speaks of ‘origin, from, the point which motion or action proceeds’ {definitions are according to Strong’s}. The other root word is ‘kaiō’, meaning ‘set on fire, to consume’. This is NOT a normal attraction that occurs between a man and woman, this is a driving force that is motivated by lust; self-centered passion that only seeks to fulfill it’s pleasure as it consumes the sinner. It is deep-seeded, lust-driven, maddening passion for immoral abominations with the person whom one lusts after. The one who lusts in this way MUST have what they so wickedly desire. This lust, ‘orexis’, is a longing for that which God forbids. Such a passionate, deeply inflamed lust will drive the sinner to conquer and satisfy, regardless of the consequences; such is the depraved heart. This immoral perversity is equal to that of animals; it stems from a darkened mind that is in bondage to sin.
All who defend the abomination of homosexuality prove they too are in darkness and do not know the God of the Bible.
Even now as Houston floods, the Biblical connection is clear. …. The lesbian mayor who would silence Pastors from preaching the truth is finding her city underwater as it was in the Days of Noah. this grieves me. But all the world is embracing homosexuality with full demonic force. Who would have thought Ireland would overwhelmingly vote for gave marriage?. Bono hails from here. He has done his PR campaign well. Soon we (remnant believers) will be handed over to the prison cells, court rooms and even death. And all of these deceived believers will think they are doing “god” a favor. The shrieks will wail when He says…I never knew you…how tragic.
We are living in the days of lawlessness where soon police will not be able to do their jobs and arrest people. The thugs will own and rule the streets. Sons of anarchy t-shirts are everywhere. How prophetic. No wonder ammunition sales have gone thru the roof as regular citizens see the only way they can protect their homes and property is by their own hand. I myself own no firearm but I am under he blood of the Lamb Jesus , so as death marches thru our streets I’m trusting the Lord that death will “pass over” me and mine.
The gay agenda is a sweeping horde of demonic activity and it makes me think the Lord’s return can not be far off. The Spirit and the Bride say COME!! We have trimmed our lamps and have much oil in reserve…we will not be caught sleeping but are anxiously awaiting the trumpet blast..We are looking up and looking for YOU Lord Jesus! Amen!
Amen brother!
I’m one of the real Christians with a pulse!
It sort of all follows the same pattern as what happened to the churches in nazi Germany. If they didn’t line up with the nazi agenda, they were persecuted. A small remnant resisted. Most will deny Christ and following Him to save their own lives, flesh, comfort, and profit, etc. (and you know their fate).
As it says in Job:
“Satan answered the LORD and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. “However, put forth Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh; he will curse You to Your face.”…” Job 2; 4
It’s the same today with the gaystapo agenda and their ‘flag’. Many parallels exist.
God bless you and remember the blessings that are ours when persecuted for His sake. ( :
Is the marriage of two women ‘sodomite’? If so, how?
Who are the ‘radical homosexual activists’ referred to? Where can one find their ‘agenda’? Who, other than Bill Muehlenberg, says their ‘final goal’ is to ‘silence churches’? Where is this recorded? Name names, cite sources because caricature isn’t enough; without evidence, all we’ve got here is made-up conjecture.
As for the claim that only a select few know the truth while everyone else is wrong, including fellow Christians, well, we’ve all heard that before haven’t we. Every cult leader and wacko sect says the same thing.

There is a gay agenda- http://library.gayhomeland.org/0018/EN/EN_Overhauling_Straight.htm
Read that link and you will see for yourself. Romans 1 clearly speaks out against homosexuality and lesbianism. No matter how you label it, it is sin and condemned by God. There is forgiveness for those who repent and believe on the Lord Jesus.
TJ,
“…but I am under the blood of the Lamb Jesus, so as death marches thru our streets I am trusting the Lord that death will ‘pass over’ me and mine.”
There is no such “promise” from the Lord Jesus to anyone as it concerns this earthly life. On the contrary, Heb. 11:33-40 speaks differently of the fate of the saints; some were miraculously delivered, while others were tortured and died at the hands of wicked men. Also, how many millions did the catholic popes murder in the 605 year inquisition? Death did not pass over these, our brothers. The death toll of the saints in recent years is yet unknown, but only growing. For you to believe this unbiblical nonsense that “death will pass over you and yours” just because you have been saved is not only wrong, but very dangerous as well. Dangerous because the day may come when you see the death of a loved one at the hands of these God haters and the wicked one will have a grand opportunity to whisper in your ear: “but didn’t God promise you that ‘death would pass over you and yours’?” What a wonderful tool you would give satan to cause you to question God, His veracity, His everlasting mercy, His faithfulness, and so on. No, TJ, we will all die (Heb. 9:27) and some at the hands of wicked men.
Bono is no Christian. Not only do I question whether he is save or not, I totally reject any and all of his claims to being a “Christian”. He is not my brother in Christ, but a fraud in this regard. The same is equally true of those who side with him on the lgbtq agenda. If a person cannot make a clear, unambiguous statement that homosexuality is a sin, an abomination in the sight of God, and a sin that if left in an unrepentant state will eternally damn a person to the Lake of Fire (1Cor. 6:9&10; Gal. 5:19-21) then such a person is found to fight against the Lord Jesus Christ by making Him out to be liar. The list of names that fall into this category is growing daily and includes most (if not all) of the famous and popular “preachers” of our day along with their worshippers found in the pews. If one cannot stand against sin and for the faith once for all delivered to the saints what good is that person to the Kingdom of God? Continued support for these false prophets makes that person in agreement with their evil deeds and qualifies such for the same eternal fate—2John 10 & 11; Amos 3:3.
I once heard MacArthur say something to the effect that you can “love a soul right into the pit of hell.” We live in an age where we fear man more then God because God seems to be no where in sight at the moment. Man on the other hand is a very clear and present danger and to be very honest, I DO So Fear the many violent ways of being tortured and killed for my faith. So much so that like Peter it is this fear that makes denying Christ so much more tolerable and safe. May God have mercy on me! So many verses on counting the cost and considering it all joy to suffer for our Lord! Please my fellow breathren continue to pray unceasingly for your selfs, me and all who struggle with the great battle of flesh versus Spirit. To God be the glory! Peace. (For now!)
I know that I could possibly perish for standing for the Lord. I was speaking of the death angel that “passed over” during the exodus. I can surely hold on to that promise from scripture, Darrel. As the 3 Hebrew children stated our God will deliver us but even if He does not…we will not bow. That sums up my faith. I will not bow to the gay agenda sweeping our world. And as Job stated…though He slay me…yet will I trust Him. I love that verse because it renders impotent any attack from satan. When the enemy knows that whatever he throws your way can never make you doubt God because you’ve settled it in your heart that even if God’s perfect plan is to allow you to suffer or be killed or beheaded he can NEVER snatch you out of the hand of Jesus!! AMEN…….I’m still putting the Blood over the doorway of my heart, by faith, as all manner of evil unleashes in our world.
I whole-heartedly agree with you TJ. Sorry for the misunderstanding on my part.
