The law

Sin is a condition of the heart.

It is 9 pm and I am going through the news feeds on twitter on my old
out dated smartphone,then suddenly I stumble upon the tweet by NTV
updating on how Museveni has accepted to sign the anti homosexuality
bill after hearing from the experts that gays were not
genetically wired to be that way.After a few minutes,going through the
other social networks I find more tweets and comments applauding the
decision.
at this moment it reminded me of the time the right honorable Rebecca
Alitwala kadaga went to Canada and bravely stood up to defend our
lovely country against those who were trying to undermine our
  sovereignty as an independent country,and in part of  her speech she
said

"If homosexuality is a value for the Canadian people, that's not a
problem for us, that's it's issue, but one shouldn't force Ugandans to
accept homosexuality because we're not Canadian citizens," Kadaga said
to applause from the floor.
 "We have our problems, they have theirs."
The Uganda Parliament is debating a proposed legislation that seeks
tough penalties for aggravated homosexual convicts.

And you see this bill came to the parliament as early as 2009 as a
private member's bill by Ndorwa West member of parliament David Bahati ,it is one of the
bills which has had a lot of hot debates in and out of parliament,if
you can remember at one time the religious leaders from all the major
denominations had to sign for it be withdrawn from parliament but
still it stayed because it had become a property of parliament.And
yes,after close to five years it is yet to be signed.
So after it has been signed,what will happen? will homosexuality go
away? or perhaps the practitioners will flee to another country,I
don't think so. You see normally the law does not state how a certain
crime should be prevented or done away with,it instead states how a
criminal of a given crime should be punished,the law is just a
reminder of our sins,it does not give any remedy to the problem.It is
in all laws, religious and state that it is wrong to steal,but have
people stopped stealing ? Murder is bad,don't we still have people
killed by one another ? So we are grateful to God that finally we are
going to have a law in Uganda that reminds us that homosexuality is
wrong and punishable but I don't think that is enough.
I don't like people who show me problems ahead without giving me some
of the possible solutions,I want someone who will tell me "
brother,that stage is difficult but don't loose heart,you can do this
or that to get along safely ".
Comedian Keneth Kimuli aka pablo normally says certain things are
called by different people differently,for example on bad morals,a
teacher might say "that is indiscipline",a doctor says "unhealthy",a
lawyer might say "unlawful" while a house wife says "bad manners" but
actually all of them would be saying that something is not good.
So this homosexuality thing,whereas the state says it is criminal ,as
a christian I just say it is a sin,and anything concerning sin,no man
can do away with it in his own ability.However perfect and innocent we
try be,in one way or the other we have always lost the mark breaking
the law ,just that on many occasions we have not been noticed as they always say that you are not guilty until you have been proved so.Some of
us are thieves,adulterous,haters,

fornicators,corrupt
,tribal,selfish,proud et cetera not because we don't know that these
things are wrong ,the fact is we know very well that these things are
wrong and we wrestle day and night to stop doing them,to change our
lives and be good people doing what is right before God and men but we just can't .
The apostle Paul in the good book

Romans 7:15 says " for what I am doing I don't understand, for what I
will to do I do not practice ,but what I hate, that I do"

Sin is a spiritual thing,there is no law,doctor nor prison that can
take away people's sins.It is only God who can break us free from our
sins.The bible says many came to John the baptist inquiring whether he
was the Christ, the bible says one day when Jesus was passing by,John
saw him  and shouted saying 

The Lamb of God - The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! john 1:29

Now after the Law (bill) has showed us our wrongs (sins),as a wrong
doer You must ask yourself the fundamental question,"what shall I do?" will you hide,or may be
you will stop committing those crimes,will you flee to another country
? perhaps you can't afford that.
Everyday we carry our sins,our burdens on our backs too heavy to bear
as we journey to a certain unknown future,the world reminds us of how
bad we are,sometimes the church does the same  showing us hatred
and we feel lefty alone in a crowded place where we call home.But one
thing is true,that when we confess our sins to God,he is faithful to
forgive us.

1 john1-9.
But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

At the cross of his Son Jesus Christ,our heavy over weighted
burdens on our backs,our guilty and shame all are exchanged with his
grace giving us freedom and everlasting peace.

Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever,until now He still says ,"Come".
