Here We Go: Liberty Counsel Reports Trump Will Continue to Support Obama’s Tragic Homosexual Executive Order
As I have stated previously, if Trump supports homosexuality, homosexual marriage, and the homosexual agenda, his presidency will be doomed to fail like Obama’s and America will never be great again. Just as the ministers surrounding Obama failed to press the urgency of this matter in God’s sight, so have the ministers surrounding Trump. Sadly, people do not understand that God will not bless what they do if they defy Him on something so basic to human existence. To roll back Obamacare, immigration laws, and abortion laws, and not roll back the abomination of homosexuality, homosexual marriage, and the homosexual agenda, is evidence of a lack of wisdom and understanding. It is also cowardice, for the real reason the Trump administration will roll back all these other things and not the abomination of homosexuality is because they do not want to tackle the demonic, vindictive, well-heeled homosexual community, and because they fear man more than they fear God. As this is a slap in God’s face and in the Christian community’s face, mark our words: this will doom Trump’s presidency like it doomed Obama’s presidency if he does not repent of this foolishness and strike down everything in his power regarding this abomination that Obama has unleashed on this nation.
The truth of the matter is, President Trump, we’d rather have a million Muslim refugees come to our shores who strongly agree with Christians against homosexuality than to have this abomination continue in our country.
According to Liberty Counsel:
The White House stated today that President Donald Trump will continue to enforce Obama’s bad executive order imposing the LGBTQ agenda on federal contractors. There is no federal employment statute that includes “sexual orientation” or “gender identity.” Congress has repeatedly rejected efforts to amend federal employment law to include “sexual orientation” or “gender identity.” The order, signed by former President Obama in 2014, imposes the LGBTQ agenda in the employment context for federal contractors.
The White House press release from his press secretary’s office stated, in part: “President Donald J. Trump is determined to protect the rights of all Americans, including the LGBTQ community. President Trump continues to be respectful and supportive of LGBTQ rights, just as he was throughout the election.”
Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel said, “President Trump should not continue to impose Obama’s bad executive order that goes far beyond federal law. The fluid and subjective term ‘gender identity’ does not prevent discrimination in the work place but rather injects in the workplace an agenda that is harmful to businesses and to other employees. Such a policy opens women’s restrooms to men. To force businesses to be at the mercy of a person’s subjective and changing thoughts or be forced to allow those with ill intent to cause harm is absurd.”

As President Trump begins his time in office, I am sharing some practical and biblically-based ways in which he can help black America as well as some practical and biblically based ways black America can be of help to him.
So far, we have named the following ways President Trump can help black America:
1. President Trump Can Help Black America by Setting a Godly Example
2. President Trump Can Help Black America by Not Circumventing the Legitimate Leadership of the Black Community; Rather he Should Reach Out to Them Respectfully and Individually
3. President Trump Can Help Black America by Hiring a Trusted African-American to be One of his Senior Advisers Along with Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, and Jared Kushner
We have also named the following ways black America can help President Trump:
1. Black Americans Can Help President Trump by Praying for him
2. Black Americans Can Help President Trump by being Open-minded and Giving him a Chance
3. Black Americans Can Help President Trump by Respecting the Office Even if They Can’t Respect the Man Occupying the Office
Allow me to share with you another way President Trump can help black America and another way black America can help President Trump.
— President Trump Should Take Some Time to Learn How to Communicate Well With Black People
1 Corinthians 9:22 says, “To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.”
In this verse, the Apostle Paul talks about part of his evangelistic strategy. Although he was a Jew, the majority of his ministry was spent reaching people outside of Judaism. He knew that there were barriers between Jews and Gentiles, so in order to reach his Gentile audience, he adopted, as much as possible, the culture of his audience. This strategy has been used by missionaries in foreign lands, notably Hudson Taylor who adopted the dress and hairstyle of the Chinese people he was seeking to reach even against the criticism of the British Christians who were supporting him.
Chuck Smith said, “Paul sought to win people to Jesus Christ by being sensitive to their needs and identifying with them. We should try to reach people where they are today and expect to see changes later.” Adam Clarke adds that those who seek to follow Paul’s example should “attend to the end he had in view and the manner in which he pursued that end. It was not to get money, influence, or honour, but to save souls. It was not to get ease but to increase his labours. It was not to save his life, but rather that it should be a sacrifice for the good of immortal souls!”
In a lesser sense, Paul’s strategy can be adapted to any area of life in which you are seeking to connect with people who are in a different culture, race, ethnicity, or social standing. In the political realm, President Trump should take some time to learn how to communicate well with black people. This will require him to listen to and communicate with a diverse array of black leaders. He needs to learn that “the blacks” are not a monolith. This is not to try to get the president to be “down” or “act black.” But the simple fact is that President Trump was born into and raised in an entirely different cultural and social reality than most black people. This does not make him a racist, but often ill-advised and uninformed. If he is going to be a great president of all the people, he needs to be willing to admit that he is not familiar with all the people, and then make an effort to learn about all the people.
— Now, here is the fourth thing black people can do to help the new president: Black Americans Should Not Do to President Trump What Some Whites, Including Trump, Did to President Obama
Luke 6:27-28 says, “But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.” This type of behavior goes against human nature. It is normal to seek retribution for wrongs done against us or our kind. But, through the power of the Holy Ghost, we can love and even do good to those who have done wrong. William Barclay said, “We cannot love our enemies as we love our nearest and dearest. To do so would be unnatural, impossible, and even wrong. But we can see to it that, no matter what a man does to us, even if he insults, ill-treats and injures us, we will seek nothing but his highest good.”
Matthew 5:38-39 says, “Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.”
Craig S. Keener said, “Jesus’ words strike at the very core of human selfishness, summoning us to value others above ourselves in concrete and consistent ways. Some misread this text as if it says not to oppose injustice; what it really says, however, is that we should be so unselfish and trust God so much that we leave our vindication with him. We have no honor or property worth defending compared with the opportunity to show how much we love God and everyone else. By not retaliating, by not coming down to the oppressors’ level, we necessarily will appear unrealistic to the world. But Jesus’ way scorns the world’s honor and appears realistic only to those with the eyes of faith. It is the lifestyle of those who anticipate his coming kingdom.”
Throughout his eight years in office, President Obama had to endure a litany of insinuation about who he was and what he believed. He was accused of being a Muslim and having sympathy for terrorists. He was accused of hating white people. Some claimed he was a socialist. Even up until the final months of his presidency, people were claiming that he was an illegitimate president because he was allegedly born in Kenya and faked his Hawaii birth certificate. Many believe that some whites in Congress refused to work with President Obama because he was black. Even President Obama said as much in an exit interview.
Some black Americans may be tempted to engage in the same kind of activity against President Trump. However, that is not wise; that kind of tit-for-tat is foolish and pointless. It only poisons the waters of possible future cooperation. The Bible commands us to do unto others as we would have them to do unto us. You may have felt slighted on behalf of President Obama, but if we want to make progress in America, we must learn to lay aside past insults for the sake of the nation and for the success of what we can accomplish together.

In closing, allow me to remind you that the only way America’s problems can be truly solved is through Jesus Christ, God’s Son who came to this earth two thousand years ago. The problem with people on this earth is sin. And Jesus came to die on the cross for our sins, so that we would not have to suffer eternal punishment in Hell. Billy Graham once said, “I do not believe that any man can solve the problems of life without Jesus Christ.” No matter what problems you are facing, you can only find the solution for your problems in Jesus Christ. If you do not know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, please allow me to show you how you can accept Him as your Savior today:
1. Accept the fact that you are a sinner, and that you have broken God’s law. The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 7:20, “For there is not a just man upon earth that doeth good, and sinneth not.” Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”
2. Accept the fact that there is a penalty for sin. The Bible states in Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death…”
3. Accept the fact that you are on the road to hell. Jesus Christ said in Matthew 10:28, “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”
4. Accept the fact that God loves you more than you love yourself, and that He wants to save you from hell. Jesus Christ said in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
With these facts in mind, please repent of your sins, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and pray and ask Him to come into your heart and save you this very moment. Romans 10:9, 13 says: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
If you are willing to trust Christ as your Saviour, please pray the following prayer: Holy Father God, I realize that I am a sinner and that I have done some bad things in my life. I am sorry for my sins, and today I choose to turn from my sins. For Jesus Christ sake, please forgive me of my sins. I believe with all of my heart that Jesus Christ died for me, was buried, and rose again. I trust Jesus Christ as my Savior and I choose to follow Him as Lord from this day forward. Lord Jesus, please come into my heart and save my soul and change my life today. Amen.
If you believed in your heart that Jesus Christ died on the cross, was buried, and rose again, allow me to say, congratulations on doing the most important thing in life and that is accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour! For more information to help you grow in your newfound faith in Christ, go to Gospel Light Society.com and read “What To Do After You Enter Through the Door”. Jesus Christ said in John 10:9, “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”
