First Briton to have homosexual marriage - died after overdosing on homosexual sex drug when relationship broke up

Image
The first Britain to have a fake homosexual marriage  died after overdosing on a gay sex drug when they broke up, an inquest has heard. Wayne Hincks, 48, had taken a lethal dose of GHB as well as another drug after his relationship with former homosexual partner Gerardo Gallardo broke down, the court heard. The pair were the first British gay couple to be legally recognised as married in a ruling at a Canadian court following their separation. But when their relationship broke down, Mr Hincks sought a divorce due to him being entitled to half their assets as a married couple. It was following his two year legal battle that a senior judge in Canada ruled that it would be “impermissible discrimination” not to view them as married and claimed that the distinction in UK law between civil partnerships and marriage “violates human dignity”. This is a tragic death but it points to the false notion of homosexuals engaging in marriage. Homosexuality is a sin, an abomination as descri

Jack Philips the baker - homosexual bullies and the Court

Image
Next Tuesday , a courageous and faithful Christian , Jack Phillips , will finally have his day in court to fight for his right to uphold his beliefs about God, about marriage and about fairness. Jack is a Christian baker and artist who has served his community in Colorado for over two decades, using his work to highlight his belief in God and the goodness of Jesus Christ . When asked by a gay couple to design a cake to celebrate their same-sex 'wedding,' Jack politely declined due to his religious beliefs , but offered to help the couple find another baker to assist them. Instead, the couple filed a complaint with the state of Colorado , which ruled he was guilty of "discrimination" and ordered him to start celebrating gay weddings, undergo a reeducation program and file quarterly compliance reports! We’ve produced an important new video that explains the critical nature of Jack's case, which is now before the US Supreme Court . Please watch it and then share

Lesbian marriage mess - when experiments go wrong

Image
A woman asked the Mississippi Supreme Court on Wednesday to award her parental rights to the child her ex-wife had given birth to, arguing that the U.S. Supreme Court had ordered equality for same-sex couples when it authorized same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015. Opposing her was the woman who birthed a now-6-year-old boy when the two were married. The biological mother of the child said that her ex-wife had legal avenues open to her to bolster her parental rights during a divorce proceeding, but failed to pursue them. Now Mississippi ’s nine justices must sort out those positions, in a case that could also affect opposite-sex couples who use someone else’s eggs, sperm or both to conceive a child. Christina “Chris” Strickland, a 44-year-old Pearl resident, wants to be listed as the legal parent of Zayden Strickland, who bears her name, hoping to ultimately gain equal custody. Rankin County Chancery Court Judge John Grant ruled that the unknown sperm donor who fathered Zayden

Blasphemous ‘gaytivity’ set uses two Josephs

Image
An LGBT activist and comedian is promoting a nativity scene with two St. Josephs and no Virgin Mary. Some have dubbed this a “gaytivity scene.” “Our neighbors’ two Joseph nativity is up & I’m beaming,” Cameron Esposito   tweeted  along with a photo of the blasphemous display. One woman  responded by tweeting a photo  of her own “lesbian” nativity scene that uses two statues of Mary. The baby Jesus in that one is shown with a rainbow blanket. Rhode Island’s Bishop Thomas Tobin called the nativity set with two Josephs “sacrilege.” He posted on Facebook : Just came across this photo of a “gay nativity” scene — two Josephs dressed in pink watching over the Christ Child . How sad that someone believes it’s okay (or funny or cool) to impose their own agenda on the holy Birth of Jesus. Pray for those who did so, for their change of heart, and that Jesus will forgive this sacrilege, this attack on the Christian Faith . “Jesus had two dads and he turned out fine!”

Christian teacher suspended for ‘misgendering’ female students

Image
A teacher has been suspended and may lose his job because he accidentally called a girl a “girl.” “This case is one of a flood of cases we are encountering where teachers are finding themselves silenced or punished if they refuse to fall in line with the current transgender fad,” the  Christian Legal Center’s  Andrea Williams  said . “If we collude in the transgender delusion, we do not serve our children well, we harm them.” Joshua Sutcliffe taught math to junior and senior high students at Stonewall schools , which are committed “to tackling homophobia, biphobia and transphobia.” His pupils outperformed every other class in the subject. A Christian, Sutcliffe respected the school’s pro-transgender policy by referring to all students by their chosen name. He avoided using “Xe,” “Xir,” “They,” or any gender-specific pronouns . “I have a deep conviction that we are all made in God’s image, male and female,” Sutcliffe  explained . However, “I have never looked to impose

Politician tells teen raised by lesbians she has a right to a father: liberals furious

Image
A local Republican politician is taking flak for telling a teenager being raised by lesbians that she has a right to a father. Prince William County Brentsville Supervisor Jeanine Lawson spoke of 15-year-old Rose BruMar’s natural right to a father when the teen told her she’s being raised by “two moms.” Lawson  confirmed to local media  that she said “every child deserves a mother and father” after Rose approached her outside Gainesville Middle School on election day. According to Lawson’s account, she and the teen had a “pleasant and civil” conversation. The teen told her, “One of my moms doesn’t like you.” “That caught me by surprise a bit,” Lawson said. “She told me things about her family life, and I told her in a very polite way, I said I believe children deserve a mother and a father. It was not a debate about anything.” One of Rose’s adoptive “moms,” Evelyn BruMar, is a Democratic activist who said Lawson’s comment “meant to hurt my daughter and devalue he

Carl Lentz needs help

The Federalist  ran a story yesterday about a certain pastor ’s appearance on  The View . One of the hosts asked him what his church teaches about homosexuality and abortion . The pastor dodged the question. Another host, Joy Behar , followed up by asking very specifically whether abortion is a sin. Still, the pastor could not bring himself to say that abortion is a sin. Rather, he said that each person has to “live to their own convictions” and that God would be the judge. A few thoughts on this: 1. His answer is not sufficient. As a pastor, you have a responsibility to speak the truth in love, and it is not loving to fail to speak the truth ( 1 Cor. 13:6 ;  Eph. 4:15 ). One can do both at once, but it was not done here. “We do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God” ( 2 Cor. 4:2 ). 2. The questions are not surprising. Any pastor should kn

Church married LGBTQI people - Church now empty

Image
Two years ago TIME magazine highlighted an evangelical “megachurch” whose pastor had led the congregation to affirm gay marriage and to welcome LGBT persons as full members of the church (see the sermon announcement above from two years ago). The story made quite a splash at the time, even though many pointed out that the church wasn’t really a megachurch and could hardly be seen as a bellwether of things to come. Yesterday, the website “Juicy Ecumenism” reported that the church has cratered over the last two years. From the report : A once-large Nashville -area Evangelical congregation that made headlines after its pastor announced that the church would conduct same-sex marriages is selling its campus and relocating to rented space. After his announcement of LGBT support in 2015, Pastor Stan Mitchell of GracePointe Church in Franklin, Tennessee was profiled in Time magazine. But what was a much sought-after sign of Evangelical movement towards LGBT affirmation may have been w

12 year boy changes to a girl then changes his mind

With the help of his mother, he adopted a female identity, began taking female hormones, and grew breasts. Two year later, however, at the age of 14, he changed his mind. He decided that he didn’t want to be a girl after all. But his body had already been permanently changed by the female hormones. His reversal will now require surgery, including breast reduction surgery to try and make his feminine-looking frame look more masculine. A few thoughts on this: 1. The science conclusively demonstrates that 80-90% of children with gender confusion grow out of it by puberty, and the

A Christian vision of sexuality

Image
Todd Wilson and Gerald Hiestand have put together a stimulating collection of essays on sexuality titled Beauty, Order, and Mystery: A Christian Vision of Human Sexuality (IVP, 2017). Contributors represent a diverse range of views within evangelicalism and include Richard Mouw , Beth Felker Jones, Wesley Hill, and yours truly. My chapter is titled “The Transgender Test” and explores the ways that transgenderism presents a unique challenge to Christian faithfulness and witness. I argue that it is a test of biblical authority , a test of biblical message, and a test of biblical relevance. All of the contributors participated in the 2016 conference hosted by the Center for Pastors Theologians in Oak Park, Illinois . Here’s the publisher’s description: Humans are sexual creatures. Our sexuality can be a beautiful and mysterious expression of what it means to be human. But it can also become distorted and sinful. Perhaps no issue is as urgent for the church today, or confronts i

Polyamory, the next sad frontier of the sexual revolution

Image
Now that homosexuality and transgenderism are all but normalized, polyamory seems to be the next sad frontier of the sexual revolution . The latest installment of this trend appears in The New York Post’s profile of a polyamorous “throuple.” Stories about polyamory are appearing with more and more frequency, and I have seen a theme beginning to emerge in other polyamorous profiles that I have read. Not everyone in the relationship is happy about polyamory. At least one partner wishes for monogamy but concedes to polyamory so that he won’t lose the one he wishes he could be monogamous with. The throuple in the Post’s profile is no different. One man and woman in the relationship describe themselves as “bisexual.” A second man describes himself as “homoflexible”—by which he means homosexual but willing to accept the presence of the woman so that he doesn’t lose his man. Readers of this blog know where I stand on this one. Any sexual relationship outside of marriage is an immor

The truth behind ‘transgender’ deaths

Image
In case you missed it -- which, sadly, no less than the U.S. Secretary of State made difficult --November 20 was “International Transgender Day of Remembrance .” The day focuses on memorializing the world’s gender-deluded who were victims of violence. By my estimate -- I didn’t count them all -- the list contains about 300 people. Likewise, many liberal outlets in the American mainstream media -- redundant, I know -- took the opportunity to paint violence against the gender-deluded as some sort of epidemic. The headline in the largest newspaper in my state declared , “Violence against transgender people at all-time high in Georgia , nationally.” Evidently an annual “all-time high” when it comes to the murder of individuals in the U.S. who choose to live a gender lie is 25 . After the 11th death, which occurred in May of this year, one news outlet quoted a “transgender” activist declaring, “We are facing a national epidemic of violence [against ‘transgenders’].” More American C
