(Genesis 8:21) And the LORD smelled a sweet savour and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. (Genesis 8:20) And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. The bible tells us that when Noah offered these sacrifices - God smelled the sweet savor of Noah’s sacrifice and it touched his heart. When the time came for Noah and his family to leave the ark and return to land, Noah built an altar unto God and offered sacrifices to him. Once the ark was built Noah and his family entered the ark - thereby being saved from God’s judgement upon the earth. So because Noah found grace in his eyes - God instructed Noah to build an ark for him and his family. (Genesis 6:8) But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. (Genesis 6:7) And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air for it repenteth me that I have made them. (Genesis 6:6) And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
(Genesis 6:5) And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. It was in this time that God decided to flood the earth, but there was 1 man on the planet who found favor in God’s eyes … Noah. (Gen 6:5-8) In the book of Genesis, the bible speaks about how the people of the earth had become so evil, wicked, and perverse - that God was sorrowful that he had ever created mankind. I am sure many of you are wondering how could the LGBT flag relate to the bible in any way. Let me show you… LGBT Flag: The Biblical History of the “Rainbow” Originating in California but now being accepted worldwide as belonging to the ‘Gay Pride’ movement.Īlthough you may get a wide variety of answers if you go to one of these parades and ask one of the LGBT members what it means - very few people know the historicaland biblical significance behind this flag being used by people to signify that they are ‘proud’ of their sexual immorality.
They can often be seen carrying their ‘Rainbow’ flags or “Marching with the Rainbow” as some call it.īut why do this? What significance can the rainbow possibly signify?Īccording to several sources, the ‘gay pride’ flag (also called LGBT flag) was created to symbolize the diversity of the LGBTcommunity. Today we can literally see as thousands of people gather each year to celebrate their homosexuality. As Church attendance declined, we noticed a drastic rise in the acceptance of homosexuality even amongst those who professed to be Christians.
Although they faced much opposition at the start of the movement, they eventually succeeded. The goal of the movement was to force those who once opposed homosexuality, to accept it as apart of life. NOTE: LGBT stands for Lesbians, Gays,Bisexuals, and Transgenders. This lead to the creation of the ‘Gay Pride’ (orLGBT) parades that are held annually - along with the ‘Gay is Good’ marketing campaigns that helped promote the movement. But because the majority of the population conformed to generic Christian values, homosexuality was viewed negatively by many - but It was around this time that organizations emerged with the sole purpose of establishing a sense of pride among the gay community. In the 1950’s and 60’s there was a massive movement to defend homosexuals from the widespread ‘discrimination’ against individuals who did not conform to the commonly accepted sexual paradigm (men with women).
