Jimmy Carter needs a reality check on the damage homosexuality does

Image
Vicious attacks on Christians? People losing their jobs and businesses? Kids being corrupted? Church communities in total disarray? What's not to like about the "LGBTQ" movement in America? Oh, but Jimmy Carter thinks "gay marriage" doesn't damage anyone. Jimmy Carter talks like he spent the last two decades in New Zealand. Maybe he did, mentally. He is clueless and so, so wrong about homosexuality which, far from being a victimless sin, is the progenitor of virulent pathologies that are poisoning our culture. The homosexuality/gender rebellion movement, behaviors and identities are toxic. If we didn't know this forty years ago when "gay rights" was in its infancy (and Carter was president), we certainly have ample evidence now. Carter said in a recent interview , "I think Jesus would encourage any … love affair if it was honest and sincere and was not damaging to anyone else, and I don't see that gay marriage damages anyone else.&q

UK House speaker: LGBT rights ‘has to trump’ religious liberty

Image
In the latest and clearest break from the pro-homosexual movement’s past assurances that “gay rights” wouldn’t endanger religious freedom, on Wednesday the speaker of the United Kingdom’s House of Commons explicitly declared that the former should override the latter. HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT A HUMAN RIGHT John Bercow made the declaration at a July 4 PinkNews reception, PinkNews  reports . “Gay rights, lesbian rights, bi rights and trans rights are not gay rights, lesbian rights, bi rights or trans rights, they are human rights,” he declared, “and that seems to me to be the inescapable conclusion of any serious consideration of these matters.” Bercow went on to claim to “respect people’s rights to adhere to and profess their faith,” but asserted that when “somebody’s adherence to faith on the one hand and the acknowledgement of and demonstration of respect for human rights” come into conflict, “the latter has to trump the former.” “If there are people who take a different view,

Would Jesus bake a gay cake?

Image
The Supreme Court’s  recent decision  in the  Masterpiece Cakeshop Case  held that a government cannot punish a baker for refusing to make a cake for a same-sex marriage ceremony if that government has also shown hostility toward the baker’s religion. While hardly a resounding defence of the Christian’s right to both own a business and not celebrate sin, I suppose that it was better than finding  against  the baker. This kind of case demonstrates the ever-increasing tension for Christians to decide if they are going to accommodate the public’s desire to embrace the LGBTQ movement or not.  Refusing to cater to gay weddings gives rise to charges of discrimination—never mind the fact that these same bakers regularly served gay customers. They only objected to doing something that would affirm same-sex “marriage” contrary to their conscience.  This is why  Justice Kennedy , who voted in favour of same-sex marriage, stated in the recent ruling that, “creating a wedding cak

Netflix to launch LGBT cartoon about drag queen superheroes who ‘save the world’ from ‘evil’

Netflix has released a brief preview for a cross-dressing themed superhero cartoon. It will debut later this year on the popular streaming platform. “During the day, they work in a department store and deal with their uptight bitchy boss,” reads the official synopsis for “Super Drags,” the upcoming show. “By night, they tighten up their corsets and transform into the worst SUPER DRAGS in town, ready to combat shade and rescue the world's glitter from the evil villains. Get ready, because the SUPER DRAGS are going deeper than you think.” Netflix US✔@netflix They're here, they're queer, and they're going to save the world. Super Drags, a new animated series coming soon. pic.twitter.com/CscVyanB6B The 38-second trailer (content advisory for suggestive imagery) offers few details but depicts the stylized lead characters suiting up, with the camera focusing on their chests and behinds. The only dialogue is a decidedly-male “huh?” coming from a character in a green dress,

When You Get Death Wishes for Sharing Biblical Truth With Love

Image
Just when I thought things had calmed down with the LGBT attack on our “ Can You Be Gay and Christian? ” video, we were flooded with a fresh deluge of hate-filled, profane, and vile comments, including winners like this: “Burn this guy at the stake or do whatever yall want I don't give a d**n. Just make sure he suffers before he dies. okay? Okay.” Where did this new attack come from? Well, it turns out that another gay vlogger with a large following played a lot of the video on his channel (that’s another way to get the message out!). In response, his followers came flocking to our video to give it a thumbs down and to attack it — and me. Now, remember, according to the PC narrative, we’re the haters and those who oppose us are the voice of tolerance. And let’s also remember that I have always denounced those who speak hatefully of LGBT’s, differing with those who call them names and want to put gays to death. You would think, then, that our tolerant LGBT friends would apprec

Christian soccer player: I was being ‘obedient’ to God by refusing rainbow LGBT jersey

Image
The Christian soccer player who bowed out of the U.S. women’s national soccer team  last year  has confirmed it was because her faith conflicted with wearing a jersey celebrating gay “pride.” “I just felt so convicted in my spirit that it wasn't my job to wear this jersey,” the player, Jaelene Hinkle, said in a new interview with the 700 Club. “I gave myself three days to just seek and pray and determine what [God] was asking me to do in this situation.” Hinkle told the 700 Club that she wrestled with her Christian faith – to which she’d first committed at age 12 – and trying to fit in throughout her soccer career and college. But when she got a blood clot during her junior year at Texas Tech, she faced the possibility of never being able to play soccer again. “Everything just came crashing down,” she said, and she promised God that if she’d be allowed to play soccer again, it would be for Him.   The blood clot subsided, and the doctor told her, “you have gotten a mir

Judith Butler - who brought sexual confusion

Image
American feminist, queer theorist , and academic Judith Butler has been a leading pioneer in gender theory and really one of the main movers and shakers in the modern transgender movement. Her 1990 volume Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity is a crucial book in the development of all of this ideology of gender fluidity and the like. She argues that there is no such thing as men or women, and sex is a social construct . There is no masculine or feminine, and one’s sexual identity is fluid and flexible.  Sound familiar? Next, she places all religions together but rejects the historic role of Christianity simply because it speaks against the sin of homosexuality and all its derivatives. "What may be most important right now, however, is to communicate the dignity of the religion of Islam , and to do whatever can be done to include Islam in interfaith networks and mobilizations. We know that every religion has its fundamentalists and that every rel

Same Sex Marriage: Implications for Christian Health Professionals by Neil Foster

Same Sex Marriage : Implications for Christian Health Professionals by  Neil Foster I’d like to thank Catherine and Andrea for inviting me along tonight to discuss some of  the legal implications for Christian health professionals of the introduction of same sex  marriage in Australia . I think it is especially generous of medico’s to have a lawyer come into  the room and even to offer them supper! I teach law at Newcastle Law School and have done so for about 23 years. Lately they  have let me teach a course on “ Law and Religion ” to upper level law students, and this is one  of the areas I am developing in teaching and research. You may also know that I run a blog on  this topic.2 So I have done a bit of thinking about same sex marriage , which raises a number of  law and religion issues (for reasons I will outline shortly). I should say that my own position is that same sex marriage was not a good legislative development, but of course I recognise that  not all Chri
