WHAT HAVE WE TO LEARN by Dr. James P. Wickstrom, Teacher of YAHWEH

The synopsis of this next presentation focuses on an age old abomination, an abnormal sexual behavior known as "Homosexuality", that was once condemned and punishable by death in almost every part of the world including the United States. Beginning in 1636 the first colonial settlers in North America established anti Sodomy Laws that banned homosexuality throughout the Colonies and for 326 years remained in effect until mid 20th century Marxist Leninist Progressivism began the assault on our Judicial and Legislative bodies as well as the Constitution itself. The consequence of this assault on our once great Christian Republic have, to say the least, been devastating, plunging our Nation deeper and deeper into an abyss of moral and social decline.

The following are historical references of the Rise and Fall of White Western Christendom

THE RISE

1636
The Plymouth Colony wrote a simple list of “Capital offenses lyable (sic) to death” that included sodomy, treason, witchcraft, arson, rape, murder, bestiality, and adultery.

1641
The Massachusetts Bay Colony adopted the Body of Laws and Liberties, which established twelve capital offenses including sodomy. The Bay Colony’s statutes directly reflected the language of the Old Testament, quoting Leviticus 20:13. “'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."

1718
The New Hampshire legislature passed “An Act against Murder, etc.,” which combined capital laws and sodomy laws.

1796
New Jersey passed “An Act for the Punishment of Crimes” that made sodomy punishable by a fine and solitary confinement with hard labor for no more than twenty-one years.

1816
Georgia state code, called for life imprisonment if charged with sodomy.

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 made homosexuality a reason for deportation and identified it as a "psychopathic personality".
