GAY TRUTH

Christine Boutin, French politician (Photo credit: Wikipedia )French politician and former housing minister Christine Boutin was convicted of “hate speech” on Wednesday by the Court of Appeals of Paris for having called homosexuality an “abomination” in an interview with the high-brow political magazine Charles in March 2014. Boutin was ordered to pay a fine of 5,000 euro (more than $5,500 USD), as well as 2,000 euro each in damages to three gay associations, “Mousse,” “ Le Refuge ,” and “Inter- LGBT .” This amounts to being fined for quoting the Bible . In two separate occurrences, Leviticus uses the word abomination, which is the same in French as in English, in chapter 18, verse 22: “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.”  Clearly, the judgment also means that Christians should not express their agreement with this form of prohibition of homosexual acts if they do not want to be sanctioned for a criminal offense . The public prosecutor a

Homosexual advocate: It’s time Australia stopped being so bloody backward. New homosexual marketing tries to manipulate moral thinking but fails! Cath Flack-Crane says her daughter shouldn’t have to wait for politicians to pull their finger out so she can live the life she chooses. In other words, all politicians should support my lesbian immoral lifestyle choice . All politicians should 'pull their finger out' and pass any legislation that I want! The homosexual lobby are trying to appeal through a new TV advertisement to the public that homosexual sin isnt sin but it is moral, clean, worthy, even righteous. But nobody believes it. But they tried! They involves mums and dads, a Vietnamese grandmother, a couple of straight mates and even a pair of gay beef farmers to promote and push sodomy onto all Australians . Homosexual campaigners will launch a new TV commercial — to be broadcast on channels 7, 9 and 10 and Foxtel — seeking to portray 'ordinary' Austral

What was Jesus ’ and the apostles’ attitude toward homosexuality? The Revisionist Answer Jesus did not condemn homosexuality, and neither should we. The Biblical Answer Jesus did not mention the word homosexuality, but He referred to Sodom and its destruction more frequently than did anyone else ( Matt. 10:15; 11:23; Luke 17:26–37). In each context, Jesus assumes the divine judgment on Sodom, which He links to the Flood as an example of divine intervention. It becomes a portent of His own second coming. “Remember Lot’s wife,” he warns (Luke 17:32). He views the sin of Sodom as a serious matter. Jesus also upheld the monogamous, permanent, heterosexual marriage as a universal norm. He linked the outward deed to the inner thought or motive (for example, Matthew 5 ). He cited the heart, the inner being, as the origin of evil deeds (for example, Matthew 15 ). He warns against annulling even the least commandment, which He came to fulfill, not destroy. Jesus perhaps hints e

How significant are the prohibitions of same-gender behavior in Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13? Are these passages limited to Israel ’s purity code and her separation from the surrounding gentile nations, or are they universal? The Revisionist Answer The context limits the prohibitions to the cult or religion of Israel, as shown by the use of the word abominable (Heb. toʿeba, Gk. bdelygma). These regulations belong solely to the purity laws applied to Israel in the Old Testament and have no on-going value as moral standards. These passages are never quoted in the New Testament as part of the Christian ethic . Establishment of the death penalty for violators does not help determine whether the texts apply to the modern world. The texts have no relevance. The Biblical Answer Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 clearly describe homosexual behavior, with the second passage calling for the death penalty. The words abomination or detestable occur in both passages. Among the vices listed in

Français : Kylie Minogue at the Cannes Film Festival. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) KYLIE Minogue’s British fiance Joshua Sasse wants to shove homosexual marriage down Australian's throats.  He believes he can change history, Christian's view of homosexuality and the Bible by wearing and promoting a shirt that says “ Say I Do Down Under ” slogan — which he came up with — emblazoned on the front. Britsh actor Sasse has been vocal in his support of immoral homosexual marriage in Australia. But so what! Who cares what shirts a British actor wears and bleats on about?  Minogue insults millions of Australians, just like other gay advocates by stating how “backward” Australia is on the issue of homosexual marriage and said “the earth didn’t cave in” in other countries where it is legal and that “love is love”. The 'earth cave in' and the 'sky hasn't fallen' argument imply that God will immediately bring judgement upon the world by destroying the world

Christians who support same-sex marriage are not “abandoning the Bible ” the Archbishop of Wales has insisted, as he told leading Anglicans that sex in a committed gay or lesbian relationship is perfectly “proper”. Dr Barry Morgan used his final address to the governing body of the Church in Wales , ahead of his retirement, to urge members to rethink traditional beliefs about homosexual relationships as being sinful. Even Biblical texts often cited as condemning homosexuality, such as the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and brimstone, could be “interpreted in more than one way”, he said.  The 'hospitality argument' is a well known liberal failed tactic written by Bailey and used by the Metropolitan Gay Churches.  Morgan should not be seeking to confuse and divert people away from the correct teaching of scripture. Dr Morgan, a prominent liberal figure in the church, is stepping down in early 2017 after 14 years as Archbishop, the longest serving primate

It is one thing to not believe the Bible, and another to misreport what the Bible says; the Bible does not say that Jesus was fine with or indifferent on homosexuality . Jesus also doesn't talk about cars. Those who fought to make homosexual marriage legal rebutted the objection of conservative Christians by invoking the separation between church and state allegedly imposed by the First Amendment to the Constitution . But that is irrelevant to what the church believes and what the state believes and neither can interfere or the state cant start its own church. Irrelevant! Now that such rights have been secured, that separation is being blurred as many LGBTQ people seek to find affirmation inside the church as well as outside. But it is not there. They will find affirmation in liberal non Bible believing churches led by false prophets and false teachers according to 2 Peter. An example of a modern false prophet, such as Pastor John Pavlowvitz of North Raleigh Community Ch

THE LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY felt an explosion quite unlike that which shook Sodom, an eruption of reinterpretation of Scripture regarding gay and lesbian sexuality. To varying degrees, these studies have found the traditional view of key texts wrongheaded and in error. The old interpretations were replaced by three approaches:     1.       References to homosexuality do not occur in passages where they traditionally have been seen (Gen. 19:1–8; Judg. 19:16–30; Ezek. 16:44–50; 1 Cor. 6:9–11; 1 Tim. 1:8–10; 2 Peter 2:6–8; and Jude 6–8). Identification of homosexuality in these passages is improper interpretation of Scripture.     2.       Homosexuality is in the context of certain passages, but these texts concern Israel ’s special ritual or sacred relationship to God (e.g., Levit. 18:22; 20:13). They are irrelevant to the Christian.     3.       Whatever references to homosexuality are in Scripture may be deemed outdated and irrelevant . They concern a form of homosexuality

An affirmation of the inerrancy of Scripture and a total committment to the inerrancy of scripture are not the same. Many people propositionally affirm the inerrancy of Scripture yet approach Scripture in a manner inconsistent with the conviction that the Bible is true and trustworthy in all that it reveals.  Affirming biblical inerrancy is necessary, but it does not guarantee an accurate handling of the biblical text. Paul told Timothy , "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth" ( 2 Tim. 2:15). The task of interpreting Scripture is indeed complex, but the character of Scripture provides us with a basic framework for the interpretive process: read Scripture as God speaking; interpret Scripture by other Scripture; affirm and presuppose the theological unity of Scripture; and approach Scripture with faith seeking understanding. The only way one can neutralize and subvert th

At one level we must answer this question with affirmative conviction. Yes, a person with same-sex attraction can change. Christians must proclaim that rebellious sinners , whether heterosexual or homosexual, can be redeemed by Christ and conformed to his image by the Holy Spirit. We can affirm this without hesitation because of God's promises in Scripture and because of the gospel's transformative power. At the same time, the process of sanctification and the radical change from sexual sinner to a life of purity and holiness is never simple. The redemption of someone with same-sex attraction does not instantaneously produce a heterosexual orientation. The New Testament displays the difficulty of escaping patterns of temptation and sin. In Romans 7, Paul demonstrates the tension Christians experience between new life in Christ and indwelling sin. There is simply no easy way to escape the lingering effects of our sin even after conversion to Christ. We must honestly stat

To answer this question we go back to the  Reformation . One of the great affirmations about Scripture made by the Reformers is what is known as the perspicuity of Scripture , which is another way of talking about the clarity of Scripture . Scripture continually speaks in such a manner that clarifies issues, not obscures them. The reality in a sinful world is that our understanding is often unclear even where Scripture is clear. The Reformers pointed to the clarity of Scripture in order to affirm that any Christian who opened the Bible heard the word of God and faced the decision to obey or disobey. That was true when the church received the New Testament and when the Reformers asserted the principle, and it remains true now. If people who affirm the truthfulness of Scripture cannot come to a consensus on the issue of homosexual marriage , same sex unions, same love - the problem is not in Scripture-it is in a failure to rightly understand and obey it.

It is very tempting to suggest that all sins are equally sinful . In some sense, every single sin sufficiently justifies our eternal damnation and separation from an infinitely holy and righteous God . Yet not all sins are equal in ambition, context, or effect. They are not all equal in ambition because some sins are so deeply rooted in conscious rebellion that they amount to blatant disobedience or refusal to believe. With regard to context, the Bible itself distinguishes sin. Some are described as "against nature" and others are not. Paul did this in Romans 1 when he spoke about homosexuality. He used the same argument in 1 Corinthians 6 when he showed that sexual sin has a particularly sinful quality since it is, unlike other sins, directed against the body, which he argued is a temple of the Holy Spirit . Even in the Old Testament , some sins are referred to as abominations, which effectively set them apart from other sins.Nor is all sin equal in effect. Some sin
