The Vision of King’s Men

King’s Men is simply men undeterred by the labels, judgments and condemnations faced, and acknowledging the freedom to receive an intimate relationship with God. In some places like Nigeria, it is not only illegal and punishable by law to be a sexually active gay man, the culture is active in gay bashing and murdering . King’s Men exists on the statement that we deserve the freedom to celebrate our spirituality without suppressing or repressing our sexuality by willpower or effort. We acknowledge how dangerous it can be living in some cultures. King’s Men is not motivated by sexual expression; it is more about creating an environment for the development and expression of our spirituality. King’s Men breeds a future hope to a common gay man. It is a family where we encourage ourselves with the word of GOD. King’s Men is aimed at freedom in lgbt community at large (health, safety and spiritual well-being)

Internet Mirage

This just goes to show that just because you see pictures of it on the internet, and you read stories about it does not mean it is true. This picture is obviously doctored. Imagine if it wasn’t an image that was so obviously false, and a storyline that was believable? That’s the reality of blogs and even some of the news on entertainment websites. How do we know what we see and read on the internet being true? I guess we never really know. We take it all with a grain of salt, knowing anything we see or read could be outright lies, have elements of truth, or could be so unbelievable that it actually may be true!

The abominations of Leviticus

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.
The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet. It’s funny, as well as informative:
Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination … End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God’s Laws and how to follow them.

  1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations.
    A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?
  2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
  3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual uncleanliness – Lev.15: 19-24.
    The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offence.
  4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord – Lev.1:9.
    The problem is my neighbours. They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
  5. I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death.
    Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
  6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this? Are there ‘degrees’ of abomination?
  7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
  8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
  9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
  10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
    I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I’m confident you can help.
    Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging.
    Your adoring fan.
