Politician abuses pro-marriage pastor over homosexual marriage

Image
Kevin Rudd (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The Australian Courier Mail is reporting: LABOR won't win another election unless it learns from Kevin Rudd's astonishing performance on Monday's Q&A. Want to understand Labor's fall? Then watch the Prime Minister abuse a pastor for holding an opinion on same-sex marriage which Rudd shared only four months ago. That Rudd also trashed the Bible - holy book of the faith he ostentatiously professes - made him seem even more cynical and unprincipled. What a metaphor for Labor's six years in office. Matt Prater , a New Hope Church pastor and Christian broadcaster, was in the ABC's Q&A audience and asked Rudd about his decision in May to support same-sex marriage.

Politician bullies Pastor over homosexuality

Another great disappointment in the campaign is the answer Kevin Rudd gave regarding gay marriage on the ABC ’s “QandA “ programme on Monday. Now, I think Kevin is a good bloke, but he seems to have adopted, not just the completely subjective hermeneutic of liberal Anglicanism , but also the smug and sneering arrogance of liberal church leaders towards those who argue for the Christian understanding of marriage (or anything else, for that matter).

He misquoted the Bible and attributed to the Bible something that Aristotle said (that slavery is a natural condition). The Bible never says that. The Bible sees slavery as the result of fallen and broken relationships in society and it is crystal clear in its condemnation of the slave trade . I was disappointed by Mr Rudd’s comments last night in the

RELIGIOUS leaders have sharpened their attacks on Kevin Rudd , citing his hamfisted attempts to argue the biblical case for same-sex marriage in a spirited shellacking of a Christian pastor on Monday night . Broad views abounded but one of the most prominent Anglicans in the country and New Testament scholar, the Archbishop of Sydney , Glenn Davies , said the Prime Minister was "profoundly wrong" and alleged he had actually quoted Aristotle when he suggested that "slavery is a natural condition" was in the Bible .
