GAY TRUTH

English: Kevin Rudd (right) and Julia Gillard (left) at . (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has clashed with a Brisbane pastor over gay marriage. IF there is actually such a thing as the "Christian vote", on Monday night Kevin Rudd lost it. For many, the Prime Minister's spirited defence of same-sex marriage on ABC1's Q&A program was a watershed moment.  Kerryn Phelps hailed it as a "historical moment in Australian politics " and penned a 475-word article of thanks to Rudd. For Phelps and so many other LGBTIQ  voters, this was the "sweetest victory of all". Rodney Croome clapped and was amazed these statement came from a Christian. Yet for so many Christian voters, this was the moment that the sheep's clothing came off the wolf's back. At 7.30pm that Monday, the same night as the ABC broadcast of Q&A, more than 35,000 Christians gathered across 339 churches in every state and territory of Australia to watc

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. Said Prater: "Most of the listeners and callers we have had in our radio station have been saying they won't be voting for you because . . . you seem to keep chopping and changing your beliefs just to get a popular vote with regards to thin

Mr Rudd's sudden conversion to support homosexualmarriage, on the road to the federal election, is betrayal upon betrayal, according to the Australian Christian Values Institute (ACVI). The newly released Christian Values Checklist shows that Labor, under Mr Rudd, has embraced the Green’smoral decadence and betrayed its working class constituency. A spokesperson for the ACVI and the Christian Values Checklist, John Miller, said, "Mr Rudd has sadly earned the nickname of Judas ." "He has betrayed the institution of marriage that has existed for millennia, he has betrayed the broad Christian lobby who he assiduously romanced in the lead up to the 2007 election, and who helped him to defeat John Howard , he has betrayed the message of the Bible , which he knows well, and he has betrayed the many members of his own caucus who he knows are strongly and conscientiously opposed to same sex marriage." Mr Miller said, “The biblical Judas was quickly remorseful about wha

English: Kevin Rudd, 26th Prime Minister of Australia. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Kevin Rudd was profoundly wrong in his understanding of the Bible . 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 same way that I was disappointed by the position he announced in May despite, as he said, after much reflection. Unfortunately in my view he has not been reflecting on the teaching of Scripture. To sanction same-sex ' marriage ' is not the teaching of the Anglican Church of Australia nor is it the teaching of the Bible. The Bible views marriage as an institution that God has created. Jesus brings clarity to the nature of marriage by saying that it is an exclusive rela

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). So, I was pleased to read this statement by the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney , Dr Glenn Davies , about what Kevin said: “Kevin Rudd was profoundly wrong in his understanding of the Bible . He misquoted the Bible and attributed to the Bible something that Aristotle said (that slavery is a natural condition). The Bible never says that.

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 .

SYDNEY, Australia , Sept. 4, 2013 - When Australian pastor and Christian broadcaster Matt Prater responded to an email from the Australian Broadcasting Commission 's  Q&A  programme, little did he know that his question to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd would be echoed in news bulletins both nationally and internationally.  As the defining moment of the entire show, the  official YouTube clip  of his question has already eclipsed 375,000 views. Q&A  is a discussion panel show that gives the public an opportunity to put questions to influential figures such as politicians.  Conservatives are usually a minority on the panels and pundits argue that half the audience is people watching to see if their tweets are put to air.  In this episode Kevin Rudd was the sole occupant of the panel, taking all questions. Knowing in advance that he was going to be able to ask a question, Prater put a number of options to the audience of his breakfast show on the Christian  Vi

English: Kevin Rudd, 26th Prime Minister of Australia. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Mr Rudd's comments on Q&A ( ABC TV Monday 02.09.13) reveal his misinformed science and mistaken understanding of the Bible . In defending his support for homosexual 'marriage' and his 'Judas-like' betrayal of the majority of the Christian constituency, Mr Rudd declared: "I do not believe people when they are born choose their sexuality. They are gay if they are born gay. You don't decide at some later stage in life to be one thing or the other. It is how people are built." No, Mr Rudd, that is not true! Pastor Brian Robertson said: "There is no reputable scientific evidence to prove that people are 'born gay'. In fact there is no identifiable 'gay gene' that pre-determines an individual's sexual choices. "The factors that result in an individual becoming involved in a homosexual lifestyle may be complex, but no scientific research

Last night,  on a serious Australian current affairs program, Q&A , our current serving Prime Minister, a self-professed Christian, grossly caricatured the Bible . A pastor questioned the PM’s change of mind on same-sex marriage, pointing out that Jesus says, “A man shall leave his father and mother and be married”—summarising  Matthew 19:4-6 —and asked why someone calling himself a Christian does not believe the words of Jesus in the Bible. The PM replied, “Well if I was going to have that view, the Bible also says that slavery is a natural condition.” This received the most enormous applause of the night, which incidentally seems to indicate both the depth of biblical illiteracy and the hostility to Christian morality . As justification, the PM went on to refer to Paul’s instructions—delivered in both  Ephesians 6:5  and  Colossians 3:22 —for slaves to be obedient to their masters. And he suggested on this basis, “we should have all fought for the Confederacy in th
