GAY TRUTH

Last month, over 250 Dutch pastors and church leaders went public with their endorsement of the Nashville Statement. At least one member of the Dutch parliament also endorsed the statement. Even though they simply meant to reaffirm what Christianity has always taught for its entire 2,000-year history, the statement has been met with fierce opposition in the Netherlands. Over the last several days, the public outcry against these leaders for their Christian convictions has been ferocious. Politicians and celebrities have publicly denounced them. The Hague, which is recognized as the international center for law and justice, flew a rainbow flag in protest of the Nashville Statement. And now, the country’s public prosecution service is “examining the statement to see if there [is] any basis for a criminal investigation,” according to a Dutch news site . The news report cites Article 1 of the Dutch constitution as possible grounds for the investigation, which states that “discriminatio

Don’t ever forget that, for some folks, “ separation of church and state ” is a half-measure. It’s just a pit stop on the road to de-Christianizing America. It’s a temporary means to a much bigger end.  I was honored to sign a document called the Nashville Statement. It’s a basic declaration of Christian orthodoxy on sexuality, sexual orientation, and sexual identity. Its 14 articles can be boiled down to a simple statement: We believe the Bible is the word of God, and the word of God declares that sexual intimacy is reserved for the lifelong union of a man and a woman in marriage.  It acknowledges the reality of same-sex attraction as well as the reality of transgender self-conceptions, but denies that God sanctions same-sex sexual activity or a transgendered self-conception that is at odds with biological reality. In other words, it’s basic Christianity .  Sometimes, however, one needs to state the obvious. There are powerful peer and cultural pressures that are pushi

If you haven’t heard about the “ Nashville Statement ”—a document created by the Coalition for Biblical Sexuality and originally signed by more than 150 evangelical and church leaders—then you are unaware of the latest battle in the culture war being fought between LGBT extremists and those who believe in traditional biblical morality. The Nashville Statement is a basic declaration of Christian orthodoxy on sexual morality, sexual orientation, and sexual identity. In the words of National Review Senior Writer David French , an original signatory of the document, the 14 articles it includes can be boiled down to a simple statement: We believe the Bible is the word of God , and the word of God declares that sexual intimacy is reserved for the lifelong union of a man and a woman in marriage. It acknowledges the reality of same-sex attraction as well as the reality of transgender self-conceptions, but denies that God sanctions same-sex sexual activity or a transgendered self-concept

About 40 members and supporters of several liberal apostate churches, on Sept. 11, staged a protest at Moody Bible Institute , 820 N. LaSalle St., to denounce several Moody officials' participation in the Biblical " Nashville Statement" in late August. Moody President Paul Nyquist and other Moody principals were among the 150 signatories of the Nashville Statement, an Aug. 30 document issued by the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood that rejects notions of societal acceptance of LGBT issues. Among those protesting were several individuals who called themselves "Moody Heretics," graduates of the school who nevertheless disagreed with its Christian policies. Apostate Elizabeth Jones, a pastor at St. Lukes Christian Community Church in Morton Grove , was one of them.  She called the Nashville Statement "abhorrent. It is abhorrent to me."  Why? Because she no longer supports the bible and its prohibitions but she supports the god of society.

Al Mohler. This past week I was part of an effort that put America’s theological and moral fault lines fully in view. I was a signer of something called the Nashville Statement, a document adopted by a group of evangelical Christians seeking to reaffirm traditional Christian values on sexuality. Within hours, the vitriol in response to our document showed why such clarification is necessary. (Below is the response from Christians United - the LGBTQI churches / or liberal church / apostate church - that look sound and smell like other church but are not). One of the most intense lines of criticism was that we, signers of the document, dismiss the pain and suffering of those who live outside those historic Biblical sexual norms. That we weren’t acknowledging the rejection they feel in the church and were making their sins appear more significant than our own. To be clear: Christians understand the brokenness of the world. We signers know ourselves, like all humanity, to be broken by s

Hundreds of homosexual leaders, deceived gay pastors, gay theologians and advocates have denounced what they call the vicious, anti-LGBTQ manifesto “ Nashville Statement .” Deceived homosexuals who believe God loves and approves of their sin, responded with a liberal  statement affirming , sinful LGBTQ lifestyle and intersex people who believe in God don't need to repent of their sin as God accepts their lifestyle choice.  The 10-point treatise, titled Christians United , holds the following big lies of these apostate groups: “that every human being is created in the image and likeness of God and that the great diversity expressed in humanity through our wide spectrum of unique sexualities and gender identities is a perfect reflection of the magnitude of God's creative work.” In the first 24 hours of its release, the Christians United statement was signed by over 1,000 confused Christians from around the world, including gay theologians and leaders of some of the wo

LGBTQ theologians and activists are feverishly attacking the evangelical Nashville Statement that upholds biblical sexual morality , as a religious Left counter-statement declared it “toxic” and against the “Holy Spirit.” Though liberal media and blogs referred to the pro-LGBTQ counter-statement as by “Christian leaders,” their propositions are antithetical to longstanding biblical teachings on sex and marriage. Historically the vast majority of Christians have believed that the Holy Spirit is a person of the triune God, that homosexual sodomy is an abomination (i.e., “detestable”), and that all sex outside of marriage between a man and woman is sinful. As LifeSiteNews reported , the evangelical Nashville Statement, signed by more than 150 evangelical and church leaders and issued Tuesday, reflects this 2,000-year-old strain of Christianity. It is composed of 14 affirmations and denials, includes biblically-based teachings on homosexuality, transgenderism and sexual purity (chasti
