HOMOSEX AND THE CHRISTIAN

The Making, and Breaking, of Homosexuality

Miles J. Stanford

NEEDED: SPIRITUAL WOMEN

As the Christian woman abides in Christ, the Holy Spirit develops and manifests the fruit of the Spirit in her life. While her character is being conformed to the image of the Lord Jesus Christ, she is in every respect feminine, she is a woman. Her spiritual growth and femininity qualify her for a spiritual, manly mate in marriage; she will attract the godly man.

Moreover, her spiritual womanhood and Christ-centered freedom will be a rebuke and contravention to the lesbian-led "women's liberation" influence that is permeating the Christian home and church. She will manifest the "ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price" (I Peter 3:4).

WANTED: SPIRITUAL WIVES -- "As the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything" (Ephesians 5:24). It requires true spiritual submission for a Christian wife to accept and maintain her position concerning the headship of her husband. It is there that she will be blessed of the Lord (and her husband), and in turn be a blessing to her husband, family, and others. "Her children rise up, and call her blessed, her husband also, and he praiseth her" (Proverbs 31:28).

Most Christian husbands need all the love and cooperation they can get from their wives in order to consistently carry out their responsibilities as head of the home and family. It is a God-ordained ministry in itself for the wife to bolster her husband in his leadership. There is reciprocal gain in such a relationship: her femininity develops his masculinity; while his masculinity fosters her femininity. Just here lie the basic ingredients for all-round healthy development of the children.

MOTHER SMOTHER -- There are any number of well-meaning ways that a Christian mother can morally mutilate her children. To accomplish this she needs but to make the most common move of all: the domination and the manipulation of her husband and children.

Whether overt or covert, whether by means of insecurity-based aggression or because of what she feels to be necessary on account of husband-failure, if the Christian wife and mother assumes control over her husband and family the result will be deleterious. Especially harmful is the effect upon the children.

MOTHER-SON -- A disordered marriage relationship will inevitably be reflected in the lives of the children. If the mother dominates the father, for whatever reason--his fault, her fault, or a carnal combination of both--she will usually dominate a son also.

Here we have the classic conditioning for homosexualism. Consciously, the domineering mother deprives herself of a satisfying and fulfilling relationship with her husband; unconsciously, she subjugates her son and makes of him a substitute "husband."

In the mother's abnormal relationship with her son, she is overprotective and strongly possessive. The boy is thereby deprived of a normal growing-up process with other children of both sexes. He usually loses out in the healthy give-and-take peer participation and belonging--he is apt to become a loner and a loser.

It is Mom who dominates his life; her interests become his interests. Usually he is encouraged and trained in the realms of art, music, and drama. As a result, it is in these that he excels in school, and possibly later in the professional world.

When this mother-smothered, demasculinized victim reaches adulthood (which he never does, emotionally), he is likely to be attracted to an occupation in which he is not expected to be as other men. Hence the high proportion of effeminate males in such vocations as the arts, the theatre and motion pictures, fashion, hair dressing, interior decorating, writing, and even the clergy.

The predominance of homosexuals in the arts does not necessarily reflect any special talent. In most cases it is simply that they have had more time and opportunity for artistic development, with a more desperate motivation for the attainment of some significance in these ego-oriented fields.
