GAY TRUTH

CHARLESTON, South Carolina , February 18, 2016 ( LifeSiteNews ) – A pivotal member of Marco Rubio 's campaign actively encouraged the Supreme Court to impose gay "marriage" on the entire nation by judicial fiat. Senator Rubio's deputy campaign manager, Rich Beeson, signed a legal brief asking the U.S. Supreme Court to redefine marriage in last summer's   Obergefell v. Hodges case. The   amicus curiae   brief , which was signed by 300 Republican operatives whose names spill over 24 pages, argued that having the court discover a nationwide right to same-sex "marriage" served "conservative values." The state marriage protection amendments defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman "run afoul of our constitutional order by submitting a fundamental right to legislative or popular referendum," it stated. However, the original intent of the Constitution did not include a right to same-sex "marriage," as st

The church can certainly get out of the marriage business if the  marriage business means the wedding business. The church can easily  get out of the wedding business, but it cannot get out of responsibility  for marriage. The church has a duty to uphold and honor marriage  because Christ himself demonstrated the importance and centrality of  marriage for human society .  The New Testament reveals that the church  must make decisions related to sexual morality , assign responsibility for  the raising of children , outline distinctions within the household, and  define the roles of a husband and wife . While these may not be interests  of the state, they are inescapably interests of the church. The church needs to clearly state it will not marry homosexuals but welcome them to come and confess their sin like everybody else.  Related articles Leaving Patriarchy in the Past (christianitytoday.com) Darwin's confession gets top dollar (thehindu.com) Such A Time As

Three years ago, Nino Esposito adopted his adult gay lover, Roland Bosee, Jr., as his legal son in order to save money on future inheritance taxes . Now that homosexual "marriage" is legal in Pennsylvania , they went to court to dissolve that legal adoption so as to "wed." Judge Lawrence J. O'Toole, of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, told the men that state law didn't give him the power to dissolve a legal adoption, unless there was fraud involved. Now Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) is asking the Obama administration to strongarm the judge. Sen. Casey wrote a letter asking U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch and the Obama White House to "issue guidance for courts across the country" in the matter. Casey hopes to set a national precedent for homosexuals, "so that gay couples who have previously entered into adoptions can annul them in order to receive marriage licenses." Judge O'Toole noted in his ruling that the prima

As a Christian how are we to think about this? To be honest, this decision did not surprise me, but I was disappointed. I had held out some hope that the constitution and not the winds of public opinion would win the day. But that was not to be. 3 Quick Observations About The Same-Sex Marriage Supreme Court Decision 1) The world has not ended, but make no mistake this will have significant cultural impact. There are 2 sides of this balance beam we can’t afford to fall off of. First, we need to remember that Christianity is still true, regardless of what is going on in a particular cultural moment. Our hope is fixed in Christ , not a cultural majority. We have an opportunity to love and engage. Let’s not miss that. The other way not to react to this news is to say it won’t effect me and my marriage and everything will continue on as it has. That is not true. And that will become more painfully evident in the days ahead–especially for children. 2) Whatever your views on same-s

Let me be perfectly clear: No matter how many ads for Christian dating services you hear or trendy books you read, we simply don’t have “ soul mates ,” at least as our confused culture understands that term. Does this surprise you? It shouldn’t. Look for that concept, by the way, in the Bible, and the only thing you can find remotely close to it is the fierce  friendship  of David and Jonathan . “Jonathan made a covenant with David,” Scripture says, “because he loved him as his own soul.” Now  those  are soul mates, friends. But the Bible knows  nothing  of  romantic  “soul mates.” This concept is more New Age than Christian. The Huffington Post gives nine signs that you’ve found your soul mate , the first one being: “You communicate without speaking.” Okay. One New Age website, however, gives  three  signs you’ve “definitely” found your soul mate: “You just connect without trying,” “Your level of communication is unmatched,” and “You create your own world together.” That’s

Español: Intercambio de anillos entre los novios (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) In light of the   Supreme Court’s decision  earlier this summer, here are six articles from  The Master’s Seminary Journal   that address the issue of homosexuality from a biblical perspective. 1.  God’s Word on Homosexuality: The Truth about Sin and the Reality of Forgiveness Abstract:   Through following a distorted meaning of “love,” some in the present day have condoned homosexual practice, without realizing that biblical love excludes homosexuality because of its sinfulness. Christians can best share the gospel with homosexuals by calling their lifestyle what the Bible calls it—sin. Genesis 1–2, Matthew 19, and Ephesians 5 describe clearly the way that God has instituted marriage as a monogamous, heterosexual relationship. Genesis 19, Jude 7, and 2 Peter 2 illustrate how the Fall almost immediately eroded the purity of human sexuality, including a devastation of the divine institution of marri
