The full Constitutional Court of Jamaica unanimously dismissed Maurice Tomlinson, the emissaries of Satan, and Satan himself in one fell swoop.
Tomlinson, an openly gay man who is legally married in reprobate-infested Canada, is desirous of relocating to Jamaica with his partner, a man. He filed a lawsuit in December 2015, seeking to have the Jamaican laws nullified in relation to all cases of adult consensual sex, which attracts convictions and prison terms.
Tomlinson was contending that criminalising homosexuality amounts to a direct and blatant denial of equality before the law for him and other gay men.
His case would have set a precedent for swarms of LBGTQI proponents to make Jamaica into a haven for their rebellion against God and a safe harbour for Satanic forces.
From the outset, it was crystal clear that Tomlinson et al had willfully engaged God Himself in a battle that was already won. This is spiritual warfare; it may appear to be in the temporal, a simple court matter with human actors, but this is war among principalities and spiritualities in high and diverse places.
This war dates back to 1864, was reignited in 2015, and reached a crescendo in 2023.
Two hundred years before Jamaica gained independence from its British coloniser, the law that criminalise buggery was in full effect. It appeared as a clause in the Commonwealth constitutional document that was handed down to the colonised states from Britain. This and many other laws were carried over at Independence without amendment in the Jamaican Constitution.
This was not by accident. It was a deliberate move by God to protect a nation that was bound to be challenged in the years to come.
The framers of the Jamaican Constitution were heavily influenced by the British model as they fervently negotiated freedom from the colonial masters. One can understand that negotiations with Britain for full-free was made easier in an environment where the Commonwealth laws shaped the discussions and guarantees must have been made to properly retain the rules. After all, Britain had to protect its citizens and interests that remained on the island post-independence.
Sections 13(12) and 18 of the Jamaican Charter of Rights and Freedoms immunise against constitutional challenge existing laws that criminalise sexual relations between men and preclude legal recognition of homosexual unions, respectively. They are referred to in the Commonwealth Caribbean as ‘Savings Law’ clauses.
In Jamaica’s case, existing laws are laws which were in existence before the charter came into force. The Offences Against the Person Act (OAPA) was brought into force in 1864.
In 2011 when there was a review of the Offences Against the Person Act, some laws, including buggery and sexual offences, were deliberately not amended; hence, they remained properly and fully protected by the Savings Clause.
So in 2015, Tomlinson et al, heavily armed with their legal war chest and unimaginable levels of financing, took on God.
Despite a commendable performance before the bench, newly wedded King’s Council Ian Wilkinson (whom some now style as Mr Kitty) failed to impress the court. He could not get the judges to enquire into the constitutionality of sections 76, 77 and 79 of the Offences Against the Person Act (OAPA) and move the matter in Tomlison’s favour.
The ruling which was delivered last Friday by Justice David Batts, on behalf of a three-member panel of judges, including himself, Mrs. Justice Lorna Shirley Williams and Mrs. Justice Pettigrew Collins, stated that the constitutional amendments in 2011 “are clear” that the “Parliament intended to protect laws related to sexual offences from review for unconstitutionality”.
The full court had arrived at the very conclusion that the majority of Jamaicans already knew from the beginning of time. No politician, right thinking or otherwise, would dare to put their political career on the line by arguing in favour of decriminalising buggery. It would be a career death wish.
The Jamaican court has now tightened the screws on the constitutionality of three sections of the Offences Against the Person Act “. These cannot be enquired into” because the Constitution’s Savings law clause stands firm. Hence, Tomlinson and the forces of darkness were summarily dismissed.
Parliament in 2011, had resisted local and international pressures to amend the buggery law, and represented the will of the Jamaican people and their God. This unshakable will has been distinctly and unmistakably expressed in every opinion poll conducted on the island since time immemorial. We are fiercely and firmly opposed to this ungodly lifestyle.
For many years, Jamaica has been facing calls to repeal the buggery law. International pressure mounted for its repeal during United Nations periodic review of Jamaica’s human rights records in Switzerland in 2015. It increased in recent years during visits of United States, United Nations and Canadian leaders and emissaries.
This is not the end of the matter. New challenges will emerge, even if Tomlinson does not appeal the ruling. There will never be an end to the demonic rebellion. Satan will never be satisfied until he has captured as many hellbound souls as he can.
Remember Romans 1, this rebellion against God is spiritual warfare.
The rebels are well aware of what they are doing; many of them grew up in the church, attended Sunday and Sabbath school, but they have made a deliberate choice not to glorify God as God. Many of them are well learned, degreed and holding prominent positions in governments, the private sector, and even the church, but they have become vain in their imaginations, and their foolish hearts are darkened.
Men with men continue to work that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves abominable, unnatural and unspeakable acts that defy civility, decency, and righteousness at every level.
Many are emissaries of the Satanic agenda, using their money and might to belittle and push aside the Church and Godliness. It is clear that God has given them up to the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies in self-lust, gender confusion and its various practices.
The very thought that men would be fighting in courts and across nations to bugger other men or to be buggered by men is reprehensible and repugnant.
Many countries have embraced and normalised this reprobate behaviour and its various offshoots. This wickedness is desperately seeking global legitimacy. Regardless of what other countries may allow, Jamaica will not bow.
The people have always said it; the Parliament formalised it, and now the court has wrapped it up and tossed it out.
