Ugandan Parliament Lovingly Rejects Sodomy

Ugandan Parliament Lovingly Rejects Sodomy 
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

In a turn of events strangely confusing and excruciating to postmodern Americans, the Ugandan Parliament has passed a bill with stricter penalties for sodomy and related offenses.

And all God’s people said, “Wait, what?”

(I was hoping for an “Amen.”)

If signed into law by the Ugandan president, the legislation would allow for the death penalty for “aggravated homosexual” acts, including acts committed without consent and against children.   

I am not overly familiar with the cultural climate in Uganda, and therefore I do not know about other serious societal defects that need to be addressed in the nation (just as there are serious problems we must address in America), but I do know what some Ugandan politicians are saying about this new bill. And what they are saying sounds pretty good. So, I would like to offer my qualified praise. Well done, Uganda.

I might disagree with some of the details, but let’s get one thing straight for now: the proposed Ugandan law is far more in-line with biblical law than the garbage coming from our nation’s capital. It is also far more loving, as it protects children (who are often the targets of sodomites and trans-activists).

Sodomy has long been recognized as disastrous to society. A moment’s reflection reveals why. Sodomy attacks marriage and undermines a nation’s ability to reproduce. Technological advances have allowed mankind to barter in human lives and commercialize human embryos, thus allowing homosexuals to freely indoctrinate the next generation in their sexual perversion. Those technological realities increase the need to oppose sodomy in all its manifestations. Most of that opposition should be done via the preaching of the Bible, but some of it rightly falls on the civil magistrate. In this, the Ugandans are correct in calling on the state to bear the sword against flagrant evil (cf. Romans 13:3-4).

Musa Ecweru, member of the Ugandan Parliament, spoke publicly on the floor in support of the bill. His words dripped with commonsense, and what we might even be tempted to call wisdom.

After speaking about children sexually abused by sodomites, Ecweru declared that “homosexuality is a threat to the human survival, to the human race.” He’s not wrong.

Homosexuality is so serious that biblical law called for the execution of sodomites: “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them” (Leviticus 20:13). Ecweru seems to understand, apparently more than most American pastors (let alone politicians), that the civil sword should be drawn to punish evil acts, not selling raw milk or driving without a license.   

Then Ecweru demonstrated even more nous by highlighting the fact that sexual perversion is being pushed on African nations by the West. He said other countries that celebrate sodomy can “have it there” but “in our country we will have our morals; we will protect our children.”

(There is no question that the West’s infatuation with sexual deviancy is being promoted abroad. On March 23, the BBC reported that if Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni vetoes the bill, then he can “maintain good relations with Western donors and investors.” Hopefully President Museveni won’t take that deal with the devil.)

Whereas the West seems intent on destroying the future, Ecweru and his fellow Ugandan legislators want to protect the future, represented by their nation’s youth.

“We are making this law for ourselves, we are making this law for our children, we are making this law for the children of our children,” Ecweru said. “This country will stand firm. And once it’s passed, I can tell you Madam Speaker, we are going to reenforce the law enforcement officers to make sure that homosexuals have no space in Uganda.”

Despite what a woke guidance counselor or liberal pastor might say, those are words of love.

“Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law” (Romans 13:10). Ecweru does not want evil committed against his neighbor, therefore he is willing to spite the West and its obsession with sexual sin in order to fulfill the law and love his nation.

The law is even loving towards the sodomites because it acts as a deterrent to them diving headlong into hell. The Apostle Paul wrote of the depravity of sodomy: “And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet” (Romans 1:27). The perpetrators know “the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death” (Romans 1:32).

It is unloving to encourage that sort of spiritual (and societal) suicide. We once understood this here in America. Even William Penn (the oft-heralded example of “toleration”) outlawed sodomy. But we have lost our way. And now we are being schooled by a third world country on the other side of the globe.  

Our desire to see sodomites repent and experience salvation in Christ does not mean we ought to sit back while they destroy both themselves and our society. Perhaps it is too late to slow down the advance of sodomy in America, perhaps we are in the final stage of judgment, perhaps we can only flee as the sulfur comes down. I’m not sure. But maybe there is still time for Uganda. And their recognition that the future of their society depends, at least in part, on keeping the toxic brew of sodomy and transgenderism away from their children is a good sign. And for this, they are to be commended.

    All I can say is amen. When are we going to wake up to the existential threat sodomy brings upon a nation.
