Our Guest Reverend Louis Sheldon
Sid: My guest by way of telephone is a Jewish believer in the Messiah his name is Louis Sheldon. You’re probably familiar with him because he’s the chairman of Traditional Values Coalition. He has a new book that is a must read for anyone that considers themselves a real Christian. The name of the book is called “The Agenda” subtitled “The Homosexual Plan to Change America.” I tell you Mishpochah according to what I see, according to what I read, according to what I’ve seen in this book the agenda we are dangerously close to becoming Sodom and Gomorrah. I have heard for years, Louis Sheldon, that just the last thing that happens before a great society crumbles is its morality crumbles. Is that true?
Louis: Oh that’s very true. There was a scientific study done by a non-Christian whose name was J. D. Unwin he wrote a book called “Sex and Culture.” In his book he reports he went around the world for 3 years. He was a full professor of anthropology at the University of Oxford in Oxford, England. He studied all of the cultures in what we refer to as little city states that rose flourished for a while, and then diminished and faded. The final thing that finished them off was when they went into homosexuality.
Sid: You know what these cultures did not have the mass media that we have today. They didn’t have movies, they didn’t have television they didn’t have internet, and I have to tell you it’s getting dangerous for me to channel surf because I can’t believe what I’m seeing. Now that there’s going to be an entire network devoted to homosexuality… what about the internet, is there much on the internet that can hurt our children?
Louis: Oh there’s plenty on the internet! As a Christian lobbyist in Washington D.C. we passed the V-chip bill which would have prevented any young person from getting on the internet pornography, or obscenity, or having received it in an email. Well do you know the Supreme Court of the United States overturned the V-chip bill and said “That we were denying access of liberty, of education, and all of those other cliché words they use to young children.” So now young children can go into a public library, sit down on the internet and bring up pornography and obscenity.
Sid: You know speaking of the Supreme Court many feel there will be 2 new justices, and perhaps 3 new justices in the Bush administration. How important is for someone with good moral fiber to be a justice?
Louis: Well it’s very important for someone who’s going to serve on the Supreme Court to have a clear understanding and to have moral judgment, and to know the difference, the long-term difference, between good and evil, between right and wrong, between what is morally right, and what is morally wrong. Very clearly our founding fathers did not want the Constitution to be treated as a springboard. For instance, just recently the Supreme Court said in the Kelo case of New London, Connecticut where is there was an x number of amount of homes that they wanted to demolish to build a larger manufacturing building for pharmaceutical people “We will take your land.” The way they justified it through eminent domain was the Supreme Court said “Well the Constitution says only your land can be taken from you if it’s for public use.” That means a freeway, a highway, a fire station something that the whole public benefits from, and they changed that word “public use” to “public benefit” meaning economic development.
Sid: So in other words they can take your homes because they want to build an apartment building?
Louis: That is correct!
Sid: That’s pretty scary.
Louis: Yes. That’s why it’s so important for a justice, to go back to your question, a justice understands what is morally right. This dear lady that lived in her home her name was Kelo and that’s why she brought the lawsuit, but she lost it at the Supreme Court. So we must have a Supreme Court person that totally is not an activist and has a political agenda.
Sid: Okay, here’s where the rubber meets the road for me and for anyone that’s listening to us. Not what you say, not what I say, but what does God say in His written words, the Bible, about homosexuality?
Louis: Well it’s very clear starting with the book of even Genesis Chapter 1 where it says “We were made in His image” and His image goes on to say “He created us male and female,” then later it says in the creation story that “He saw that man was alone and He wanted to give man a helper of his equal female.” So you have the full creation story. When you come against that, and that’s why in Leviticus it says “If a man lays with a man in a sexual relationship as he would with his we in marriage then he has created an abomination.” An abomination is the equivalent of like quenching the Holy Spirit what is in the New Testament like that. Then when you move to the book of Romans Paul gives us practically a chapter and part of another chapter, part of chapter 1 and most of chapter 2. Talking about why homosexuality is not right and you cannot inherit the kingdom of God if you are that. Then we go to Corinthians where Paul does it again for the Corinthians and he puts a list of sins that you cannot have if you want to enter the kingdom of God. It doesn’t mean that you can’t repent and you can’t turn your back on your sin, it means simply that if you stay in that sin of homosexuality, it’s listed there in 1 Corinthians 6:9 it is very clear. Then you go on even to the book of Jude where it talks about Sodom and Gomorrah and what happened there. So it’s pretty clear throughout the bible. The word licentiousness that is mentioned many times in the gospel accounts, I think the Lord Jesus very clearly, that was a general term for sexual immorality.
Sid: So help me out. How do these major denominations condone homosexuality, Christian denominations, how does someone that says “I’m a Christian I believe in God read these things in the Bible and justify it?”
Louis: Well those denominations, like the most recent one the United Church of Christ, they totally longtime ago disbanded their belief that the Bible was thee word of God, it was without error.
Sid: That’s the only way you could say you’re a Christian and be a practicing homosexual. The two cannot, according to the Bible, go together.
Louis: That is correct. So you see they have disbanded their belief that the Bible is the constitution for the Christian and for his salvation, and for his edification and sanctification. They’ve left the Bible and see that’s why any denomination that walks away from the Bible will walk away from what is good and accept what is evil. That’s why in the Methodist Church there’s a split, in the Presbyterian Church now there’s a major split because it seems like almost every national meeting that comes up with the Presbyterians and their general assembly they continue the liberals, who don’t believe in the Bible as the word of God, bring up “Let’s have homosexuality made acceptable.” The people turn it down who are there at the National Assembly meeting, but they bring it up again. So these churches are doing I think basically because they have no other place to go. Instead of digging into the word of God and believing it and obeying it, they’ve just boo-hooed it.
Sid: Now you talk in your book about the Kinsey Studies that lots of people giggle about and laugh, but how scientific were the Kinsey Studies?
Louis: Oh they were not scientific at all you couldn’t even begin to say they had much science. Kinsey did not use the scientific method of sampling, and it was around because the Gallop Poll organization and philosophy was well operative by 1940, it was developed in the late 30’s. So when Kinsey came along and did his and published his book in 47 and 48, he had been doing this all during the 40’s. So what he did was he went to 3 sources to see about homosexuality, and he’s the one that gave us the erroneous 10% figure of the population. He went to prisons, of course there’s far more…
Sid: What was Kinsey’s morality like out of curiosity? Did he have an agenda to prove something?
Louis: Well we know that Kinsey… people who have worked with him, several people who have worked with him and not in recent years but maybe 20 something years ago said “That he was bisexual and that he was in total rebellion to his Christian and church background.”
Sid: I can’t believe in your book you state that his sampling techniques were of the following groups:
- Sex offenders
- Pedophiles
- Homosexuals
- Prostitutes
This isn’t a sampling of America.
Louis: Also there’s one other thing we didn’t mention there he went to gay bars also.
Sid: So we thought as a nation this is what sexuality is and those are the people he used to sample?
Louis: Oh yes I remember…
Sid: I’ll tell you what we’re out of time.
