About homosexuality
Can it be acceptable that two men or two women live together as a married couple, or that the Church of Sweden marries and blesses homosexual couples? The Bible is quite clear about that. Study the the bible quotations below.
"Do you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God."
1 Cor 6:9-10
Further warnings for the above mentioned and other unnatural ways of living we get in the Bible verses below.
"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. Nor shall you mate with an animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion."
Lev 18:22-23
"If a male lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.
Lev 20:13
"as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering from the vengeance of eternal fire."
Jude 1:7
Sweden has tried to force Uganda to introduce a law about letting homosexuals get married like they do in Sweden by withdrawing the aid they are giving

We will not bend over for aid, Buturo tells donors in gay row
"If one chooses to withdraw their aid, they are free because Ugandans do not want to engage in anal sex"
Nsaba Buturo
Ethics Minister
The government yesterday reiterated its opposition to homosexuality and said donors were free to withdraw their funding if they wish.
Ethics and Integrity Minister James Nsaba Buturo was responding to a Daily Monitor story that Sweden had joined other countries that are pressuring the government to discard a proposed law that would severely punish homosexuality in the country.
"Homosexuality will not be promoted, encouraged or supported in Uganda", Mr Buturo added.
Mr Buturo told journalists at the Uganda Media Centre in Kampala that: "We should remind them (the donors) that there is integrity to be defended and threats are not the way to go. If one chooses to withdraw their aid, they are free because Ugandans do not want to engage in anal sex. We do not care."
Life imprisonment
Life imprisonment is the minimum punishment for anyone convicted of having gay sex, under an anti-sexuality bill currently before Uganda's parliament.
He said Ugandans are sober people who consider homosexuality abnormal.
According to comments attributed to Ms Gunilla Carlsson, Sweden's development assistance minister, the Swedish government says it would cut aid to Uganda over an anti-gay law they find "appaling".
Mr Buturo said ever since the Bill was tabled in Parliament; various countries have been overreacting and castigating Uganda for having such a law debated by Parliament.
As Mr Buturo was castigating donors, the Uganda Human Rights Commission announced that it will scrutinise the Bill and make recommendations before it is debated. Commission Chairman, Mr Med Kaggwa, said the exercise will help establish whether the Bill, which has been criticised by some rights groups, violates human rights.
"What I can say is that we are human rights defenders and if they (gays) come and complain of discrimination we shall handle their cases," he said without divulging details.
Mr Buturo warned donors against making statements in the press.
He urged them to channel official communication through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"The government welcomes views that well-wishers of Uganda make concerning her governance. It should be noted from the outset that when such views are from diplomats who are accredited to Uganda, the standard diplomatic practice world over is for such views to be communicated to government through well known diplomatic channels", he said.
Not civilised
"It is never, ever, a standard practice in the civilised world for a diplomat to address the press of a country in which he or she is serving on how the host country is handling affairs of its land", he added.
The European Union envoy to Uganda, Mr Vincent De Vissher, in an interview with Daily Monitor on Wednesday, demanded that the government stops offering lip-service in the fight against corruption.
But Mr Buturo said such a statement can only be made by a person who is "unaware of what is going on in the country."
"It is clear to government and whoever cares to understand the complexities of corruption, that it will take more than the government alone to defeat the corrupt", he said.
He said that the corrupt usually enjoy the support of foreign companies. "The corrupt are found everywhere", he said.

Prophecy about Sweden
You child of man, hear the voice of the Lord the God of the hosts talk against Sweden saying:
"I will no more have mercy, through your secularization. I want to judge you, and due to that you have thrown my weapons and my word behind your back, you will be destroyed and not being able to stand against it. You have left me and that will be your judgement, the only ones I want to spare are those who know my name and who love my Son. Those who like the children of Israel who smeared the blood of the Lamb on their doorposts when the destroyer came and have been purified by the blood of Jesus, these are the only ones who will be saved."
The Lord showed me further in visions how the Muslim domination ate a big piece. How ungodliness among the people and despise of everything that is right, good, expensive and holy brought them to fall. They raised tabernacles to other gods. And above all this I felt the wrath of THE LORD. But the drip that made the beaker run over was the decision of the church of Sweden approving of marriages between people of the same sex. Further, while these words were written, the Lord spoke and said:
"Listen to me, child of man, write these words as well. I, the Lord, know the vain thoughts of the people, who in their hearts make laws as if they also would be applicable to the highest, as if the Eternal should bend for a paragraph of the people. Still I the Lord feel that they also again want to shut the mouths of my prophets when they talk and say 'pernicious is this that the people has decided', yes they want to kill and throw them in prison. But talk, you who stand for my word and I will be with you in the valley of the shadow of death, be silent and I am the one who brings you to it. What I have said and what I have spoken no man can make an end of, they shall be aware of it when I judge them", says the Lord, the God of the hosts.
