Lady Gaga: Born This Way!

I hate to even mention trash, but I guess it's trash day! Lady Gaga (that's not a lady, that's a nightmare!) sings the song Born This Way. I guess if Lady Gaga believes that it must be true! I mean after all, she's a psychologist, scientist, scholar and archaeologist, is she not?  Or perhaps she knows firsthand! Well, I guess her credentials are as extensive as Obama's were to be president. She did graduate from high school, but dropped out of college after a short spell studying "the arts"! Well enough, for credentials. Perhaps Ms. Gaga has some type of inherent ability to detect truth!

"Born This Way" pertains to what? Well, here are some lyrics to her song (From Born This Way, Lady Gaga):

"There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are
She said, 'cause He made you perfect, babe
So hold your head up,
girl and you'll go far
Listen to me when I say
I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way."

People love who they are. Yes, we ARE "born this way". It's called "original sin" and that sin is pride! All mankind is born with pride. Having pride is of God, but having pride in excess is evil. It's putting the thoughts and beliefs of the individual over God's truth. It's when people put their interests and desires ahead of God. It's having "other god's before him" or "in addition" to him.  With pride, mankind wanted to be as God. The small amount of knowledge that man derived from "The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil" made them uppity in the presence of an almighty all knowing God! Gaga speaks of that pride "So hold your head up"!

However, there is something wrong with "lovin' who we are"! The minute we're born mankind needs one thing: man needs to change! People are "born this way"! They are all born with that "original sin" and the thing we need to do is this:

Romans 12:1 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."

Brethren pertain to those who are Christians. The first thing anyone needs is salvation:

Romans 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one..."

Lady Gaga was truly "born this way", whatever way she was born. You and I, too, were "born this way". What way is it that we're all born? We're all born sinners! That's everyone and we all fail to be righteous. Being unrighteous is our inability to obey God. All of us are "born this way". No one can follow the will of God on his own!

Secondly, the lyrics say that "He made you perfect, babe." God made the first humans perfect. They spoiled that by disobeying the only commandment God gave to them. "Don't eat that stuff Satan offers you!" They took it and ate. Thereafter, God put a curse on mankind. Adam's and Eve's sin were handed down through the generations to us! We have the same pride which they have! Since, then, "babe", you were not born perfect, nor was I? We all have a character flaw, babe! You sing about yours! You brag that you were "born this way"! I'm ashamed that I was!

Let's see some of the character flaws people have:

Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Leviticus 18:26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations;
Deuteronomy 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord:                                                                                   Galatians 5:19 "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies..."

These flaws are some of what are people's desires to do unrighteous things: homosexuality, break Gods laws, abort or destroy their children, be involved in New Age stuff, commit adultery, fornicate, be slutty, put things before God, hate others, do unnatural things, have anger, be bickering, rebel against authority or improper worshiping God. All those are you, "babe"! You are "born this way"!

Some say research studies conclusively "prove" that homosexuals are "born this way". That's not true! There is no such research, and any which alludes to that was done either by the homosexual community or those favoring their acceptance. Bad methodology, by definition, confounds any research for researchers are inherently biased against things of God!

Were homosexuals "born this way"? They were born with a DESIRE to sin as all men are. Each of us have specific "great sins" which Satan uses to burden us! The desire for homosexuals is the sin of same sex intercourse. God calls that an "abomination"! It is disgusting to him! Because we may not deem it disgusting does not invalidate God's statements about HIS feelings!

Some sins are greater than others. Homosexuality seems to be one of them!

Romans 1:27 "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. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient..."

The danger of homosexuality, although it is pardonable, is that the homosexual may be beyond conviction. He or she is so caught up in their lust for one another that the Holy Spirit cannot penetrate their callousness. From a spiritual standpoint, homosexuality is "playing with fire"! Those who practice it may get caught up in it, and never have the will power to change!

Lady Gaga says "I'm beautiful in my way"! "Beauty" truly "is in the eye of the beholder!" (Margaret Hungerford). What we see as beauty God sees as "ugly". Sin is the" ugliness" of mankind. Lady Gaga who does have outer beauty is "ugly all the way to the bone"! Her soul is contaminated with Satan's ugly lies! Whoever condones the sin of homosexuality has an ugliness inside. They fail to be discerning and are unwitting pawns of the devil in his war against good and God.

Lady Gaga says "I'm on the right track, baby"! That's her misconception. She is entirely wrong! She is reprobate in her thinking. If she is "on the right track" why is she not doing, saying and singing what God wills? She spews the lies of Satan! If anyone is on the wrong track, it's Lady Gaga. It would appear that she has total ignorance of God's will, perhaps educated by mere entertainers! Is she beyond hope? Only God knows, but she's definitely "on the wrong track"!

She could be "on the right track" as we all can be!

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Sinners are to come as they are! God loves them with one condition: any person must believe in Jesus, and not only believe, but trust him because salvation is by faith! John gave two outcomes: believe and live forever or don't believe and perish... FOREVER!

It's a simple choice, Lady Gaga. You're not "on the right track" and all you need to do is change. You were "born this way" and NOW "it's time to change"! Perhaps that would make a great stanza to your song!
