bondage to sin. I desire that they might know what it is to walk in purity and holiness, with a
clean conscience before God.

The Free and Equal campaign focuses on legal reforms and public education. The legal reforms
will eventually lead to the enactment of laws where any criticism of homosexuality will be
declared a hate crime. This week, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas stated the following in an interview
on the Christian Broadcasting Network.

“If you look at other nations that have gone down the road towards gay marriage, that’s the next
step of where it gets enforced,” Cruz agreed. “It gets enforced against Christian pastors who
decline to perform gay marriages, who speak out and preach biblical truths on marriage, that
has been defined elsewhere as hate speech, as inconsistent with the enlightened view of
government.”

“I think there is no doubt that the advocates who are driving this effort in the United States want
to see us end up in that same place.”

When the U.N. calls for further “public education” on the subject of homosexuality, they are
actually referring to indoctrination and thought control. Already, if a person in government
employment, or a large number of politically correct corporations, speaks out against
homosexual behavior, they are subject to be required to attend sensitivity training classes, or
could be terminated. It matters not if the person’s religious beliefs declare same sex relationships
to be immoral. On the U.N. website is found the following statement.

Ms. Pillay (UN High Commissioner for Human Rights) underlined that “the balance between
tradition and culture, on the one hand, and universal human rights, on the other, must be struck
in favour of rights,” adding that “no personal opinion, no religious belief, no matter how
deeply held or widely shared, can ever justify depriving another human being of his or her basic
rights.”

This is a masterfully deceptive statement. In speaking about “the balance” between religious
belief and whatever the UN declares to be a human right, they declare that the UN will always be
favored. This is not balance. It is imbalance. Who decides what is a human right? Yahweh would
say that it is a human right for a baby to be safe in its mother’s womb. The U.N. says it is the
mother’s right to terminate the life of the baby growing within her. Yahweh states that
homosexuality is evil behavior. The U.N. says it is a protected lifestyle, while encouraging
people everywhere to embrace it. The following statement by the U.N.’s Secretary General, is
found on their website:

“To those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, let me say: You are not alone. Your
struggle for an end to violence and discrimination is a shared struggle. Any attack on you is an
attack on the universal values of the United Nations that I have sworn to defend and uphold.”
