GAY TRUTH

A pro-abortion and pro-gay medical lecturer has returned her Australia Day award in protest at the decision to give the country’s highest honor to tennis great Margaret Court. Caroline de Costa was given the Order of Australia (AM) in 2014 for her work in women’s reproductive health (abortion)  But she decided to return the award after Court was appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) earlier this week. Professor de Costa said as a medical practitioner, and as the mother of a gay son, she did not wish to be associated with an organization that condoned the views of Court. She is not biased. She set out her "you must think my way or else you are a bigot" reasons in a letter to Governor-General David Hurley. Court had already been recognized for her tennis achievements and charity work with an Order of Australia in 2007. Over the intervening fourteen years, she has used her position as a public figure to espouse God's correct and healthy views on sexuality, and

  Matters related to homosexuality and LGBT issues fuel many debates. The debates are often heated because they involve foundational issues that intersect with morality, politics, and law, and are both personal and public, involving foundational issues about the meaning of sex and marriage, rights and freedoms, the interpretation and application of Scripture, and an understanding of gender and identity, among other things. Underlying these and other aspects of the debate are very different worldviews and different understandings of human beings. In terms of Christian ethics, much of the recent debate has centered on an interpretation of Scripture and its implications for human sexuality and sexual behavior. Some, in light of changes in how homosexuality is understood, along with cultural pressure for LGBT equality (including equal recognition of same-sex relationships), have reconsidered what the Bible has to say about homosexuality, marriage, and other issues.  In particular, they h

Male and Female, God Created Them The Bible is unequivocal on the question of homosexual sex. First, men sleeping with men is prohibited in Jewish law (e.g., Lev. 18:22; 20:13). This does not prove the case for Christians. Many Old Testament laws are specifically declared not binding in the New Testament (for example, food restrictions). But the logic of opposite-sex marriage and the prohibition on homosexual sex are reaffirmed multiple times.1 Let’s start with Jesus’s framework . Jesus is sometimes caricatured as a prophet of free love, unconcerned about sexual ethics. But his teaching on sexual morality was consistently stricter than the Old Testament law.2 For instance when the Pharisees asked Jesus whether a man may divorce his wife “for any cause,” he replied: Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one fles

When Rachel Colvin, a teacher at Ballarat Christian College, refused to sign a new statement of faith that had been strengthened following the same-sex marriage plebiscite, she set in train an anti-discrimination case which captures the issues at the heart of Australia’s religious discrimination debate. She should have stood down immediately. But she aligned herself with people who are clearly anti-God and anti-scripture while still claiming to be a Christian.  The school’s new statement says  “God designed the two genders, male and female, for the purpose of joy and procreation within the sole relationship of marriage. So marriage can only be between a male and a female, and upon this foundation alone should children be conceived and families formed.”  Although a very liberal Christian, Colvin disagreed. She should have withdrawn and walked away instead she chose to go with the immoral culture and not scripture and embarrass a Christian school. Lovely. Rachel Colvin cla
