Dear LGBTQMxyz Community ‘Pride’ is a Mortal Sin—Have a great ‘Pride’ Month

Well its once again it’s June.

It was first President Bill Clinton who declared June “Gay & Lesbian Pride Month” in 1999 and 2000. Then from 2009 to 2016, each year he was in office, President Barack Obama declared June “LGBT Pride Month.”

So, let’s first look at what Mohammed had to say about pride month.

A hadith depicts Muhammad specifying the punishment for homosexual activity:

“The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.’” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4462)

So, let’s look at what the Holy Bible says about pride:

Proverbs 11:2 – When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

Proverbs 16:5 – Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

Proverbs 29:23 – A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

Proverbs 16:18 – Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Galatians 6:3 – For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

James 4:6 – But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

Proverbs 27:2 – Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

Proverbs 26:12 – Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

Philippians 2:3 – Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Proverbs 8:13 – The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

Jeremiah 9:23 – Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

1 John 2:16 – For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Romans 12:16 – Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Maybe pride isn’t all its cracked up to be? No pun intended.
