The Other Dark Exchange: Homosexuality

Image
Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper. ( Romans 1:24–28 ) Astonishing Relevance In our exposition of Paul’s letter to the Romans, we come now to this astonishingly relevant section in 1:24–28 where Paul touches on the reality of homosexuality. It is

UK Politicians gave heartfelt religious exemptions - Gay Marriage - now undermining exemptions

Four years ago, amid much uncertainty, 400 British members of parliament voted to redefine marriage in the United Kingdom . Then prime minister David Cameron announced that, despite having made no mention of the issue in his party’s pre-election manifesto, it would be MP’s who decided the fate of marriage. Now, it’s Australia ’s turn to choose. There’s one key difference. Unlike in Britain, it will be the people who decide. Everyone agrees, whether they admit it or not. This is a decision of enormous significance. Therefore, it seems sensible to analyse the consequences of the potential change, within nations in which redefinition has previously been carried out. In the United Kingdom, it has become abundantly clear that redefinition has affected many people, across many spheres. At first glance, these spheres appeared distinct from marriage redefinition. However, subsequent changes, have proved that they are entirely intertwined. Gender: Current Conservative Prime Minister, There

Biblical Churches will not marry homosexuals

As a loving couple, we should be allowed to marry in the church if we so choose. Homosexuals commonly demand their “rights,” which include the desire to be recognized as legitimate couples, who should be allowed to marry if they wish. Biblical Response This recognition of homosexual marriage is something that the church cannot allow and remain faithful to the God of truth. It is not evidence of compassion to allow others to openly violate the clear teaching of the Bible . Yes, it is “tolerant”—that is without question—but what about asking whether or not God would allow tolerance on other ethical matters? “Tolerance” is today’s “sacred cow”: the values of many fashioned into something false.  While the modern view of tolerance may be applauded as “progressive,” it is actually damning. Scripture describes those who practice the violation of the marriage covenant as taking steps that lead to Sheol ; they live in accordance with death and damnation (see Proverbs 5:3–6; 7:6–2

BuzzFeed shaming Pastors against homosexual sin

Image
Things are going absolutely nuts with the Christophobes in the West . They are so full of hate for any believer who dares to take his faith seriously, especially in the public arena, that they have launched an all-out war on the faith. They are on a search and destroy mission to hunt down and silence all public believers. And they are doing all this in the name of tolerance, diversity and acceptance of course. The secular left and the militant homosexual lobby are as intolerant and nasty as you can get. A recent example of this involves how a much loved American television couple has been treated, simply because they go to church! I kid you not. The American private Internet media company BuzzFeed is at the centre of all this. Their headline and subtitle say it all: “Chip And Joanna Gaines’ Church Is Firmly Against Same-Sex Marriage.” “Their pastor considers homosexuality to be a ‘sin’ caused by abuse — whether the Fixer U
