GAY TRUTH

A former homosexual is professing that homosexuality can be overcome through Christ . Chris Delaney , founder of Joseph's Coat Ministries in Chattanooga, Tennessee , lived as a homosexual for 12 years until he became a Christian . According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press , Delaney proudly calls himself an " ex-gay " and admits that after an unstable childhood, he needed male affirmation in his life more than homosexual behavior . However, he turned to the latter instead of Christ. After years living as a homosexual, he says God changed his life and healed him through Bible and counseling, undergoing a lengthy transformation to become "sexually reoriented" by God. "The homosexuality did not have a hold on my life after about two years of deep therapy, deep worship, deep understanding of God's Word," he points out. "And after that two-year period...I felt the call of the Lord to begin a ministry." Delaney has taken a lot of

LSN: You encountered the darkness of spiritual evil during your sexual downward spiral. Is there any connection between the homosexual movement and the spiritual forces of evil? Sciambra: I believe there is a connection between the homosexual movement and the forces of evil because the gay lifestyle is essentially a lie and a tool of deception. Those that advocate for it – promise much, but rarely deliver. Now, one of the main recruiting devices is porn . It gives a completely false view of gay relationships and gay sex. In porn, everyone is beautiful, happy and healthy. Its themes, often emphasizing supreme masculinity and sexualized father-son relationships aims at the very woundedness that sits at the center of every gay man ’s malformed sense of masculinity. Porn preys upon their desires for healing. What you get, is a quick fix. That, later on, leaves you more damaged than before. I know heaven wept when I had to see so many young men buried because of disease and suicide. I

Former megachurch pastor Rob Bell now very liberal, appeared in a recent radio discussion with Christian British minister Andrew Wilson to discuss his new book, 'What We Talk About When We Talk About God', and grew frustrated when pressed by Wilson to explain his theological reasons for affirming homosexuality and same-sex relationships . Bell and Wilson appeared on the U.K. faith debate program "Unbelievable?" hosted by Justin Brierley on Premier Christian Radio . Wilson is a published theologian and elder at Kings Church in Eastbourne, East Sussex . The men, moderated by Brierley, started the discussion by debating various issues during the hour-plus program, but it was during their discussion on homosexuality that Bell appeared to grow visibly upset. "Do you believe that this is an area where actually God is ahead of the church, that affirming same-sex partnerships is actually a God thing and that we will eventually all get to see that in the course of ti

The success of the gay rights movement can be seen in the shifting public attitude toward homosexuality. Proponents of gay rights have repeated three pro-homosexual arguments , frequently and emphatically, for the past 30 years.  Those arguments have formed an ideology that some of our most powerful cultural institutions support, and have even converted the thinking of some Christians on the matter of homosexuality. They have become “ conventional wisdom .” The pro-homosexual public not only rejects the traditional view on homosexuality, but derides it as ignorant, intolerant, and dangerous, which poses a formidable challenge to Christians. Any effort to “speak the truth in love” on this hot topic, therefore, requires Christians to respond in a reasoned, balanced way to these three criticisms.  The innateness argument claims that homosexuality is “inborn”; therefore, it is normal and God ordained. Traditionalists can respond that although homosexual orientation may not be c

By definition, homophobia is fear of homosexuals, but its meaning has been broadened to include hate for homosexuals. Correspondingly, being homophobic tends to manifest itself through an outward demonstration or behavior based on such a feeling.  This, in turn, sometimes leads to acts of violence or expressions of hostility. The truth is that homophobia is not just confined to any one segment of society. It can be found in people from all walks of life. Such hate groups have viciously attacked homosexuals and have used especially violent language in attempting to persecute and intimidate homosexuals. More often than not, Christians are said to be homophobic simply because they condemn homosexual behavior as sin. But the fact is that the term  homophobic  is merely a word used by homosexual activists and supporters in their attempts to deflect a genuine criticism of an immoral and unhealthy practice. Without question, there are people and organizations who have developed an i

I doubt there's much disagreement that "born this way" is the number one argument in play today regarding homosexuality. In debating the issue of same-sex marriage, and homosexual behavior in general, a very common line of reasoning used by our culture to defend homosexuality is that people are born with their sexual orientation .  In liberal Christianity, those espousing a pro-gay theology often times declare, " God made me this way." In both cases, the claim is that you cannot fault someone for being born the way they are, and therefore homosexual behavior should be embraced and valued every bit as much as heterosexuality.  Homosexuality aside for a moment, I'd like to assert that Lady Gaga can sing " Born This Way " all she'd like, but the argument itself doesn't stick.  This fact is becoming especially relevant today because we are now beginning to see the argument utilized to justify many other behaviors, with the most recent b

Women on Top: How Real Life Has Changed Women's Sexual Fantasies (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The Advocate, a gay and lesbian magazine, asked readers what they believed the potential impact would be to the advancement of gay and lesbian rights if a scientific discovery proves a biological basis for homosexuality. About 61 percent of the magazine’s readers asserted that such scientific research would advance the cause of gays and lesbians and lead to more positive attitudes toward homosexuality.  For example, if one can be born gay, much as one can be born with brown eyes, then a fair society could not possibly condemn him as being unnatural or immoral. To that end, gay activists and the liberal media have actively encouraged the idea that homosexuality is inherited and unchangeable, and researchers have diligently sought scientific evidence to back up that claim.  Unfortunately for the pro-homosexuality movement, the research on this subject has failed to establish any sc

Protest sign addressing issues of Homosexuality and Scientology (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Homosexuality has embraced our culture and our culture has embraced homosexuality . It’s part of the fallen nature of things, and fallen man has always been an expert at creating ingenuous ways to celebrate his brokenness. Rudd has embraced homosexuality, love but not Christ . Homosexuality is one of those topics that draws vibrant reactions. Complex issues of the heart usually do. Christians are in a sort of no-man’sland here. Suggesting that homosexuality is sinful can appear, to the world, as uneducated, rude, and stupid. On the other hand, suggesting that God loves and forgives sinners who struggle with homosexuality and that we should do the same may appear compromising and wishy-washy. While we can oppose the advancement of this movement by vocalizing our concerns and participating in the political process, for the Christian a far deeper response to homosexuality and the gay communi

Mr Kevin Rudd Homosexuality turns our stomachs. Why? As soon as we get beyond seeing them as a social group , and begin to consider the activities which earn them their name, we shudder. And then most of us feel bad. We feel bad because we want to be egalitarian about sin. We show that we are “with it” and still good Christians when we point out that adultery is just as bad as homosexuality . We think we can slop the world from calling us bigots if we also get after the straights. That’s why we blush at our repulsion at this sin. What usually passes for sophistication today is the rejection of common sense, of what is natural. And it is natural to have our stomachs turned by homosexuality. It is a natural reaction because homosexuality is a decidedly unnatural action. Yes, all sins deserve eternal damnation and in that sense are equal. And yes, all sins are “unnatural” in the sense that they reflect our fallen, non-original nature. But, like Orwell ’s animals, some sins are more equ

Homosexuality . Sexual desire directed toward members of one’s own sex. Female homosexuality is frequently called lesbianism, from the Island of Lesbos , where the Greek poetess Sappho (reputedly homosexual) lived ca. 600 B.C. Traditionally homosexuality was the sin for which Sodom was destroyed by divine judgment, hence the popular term “sodomy.” This interpretation depends upon uncertain translation, while Ezekiel 16:49–50 and Sirach 16:8–9 give other reasons for the judgment. The assumption of homosexuality in Sodom dates from the Greek occupation of Palestine , when “the Greek sin” seriously endangered Jewish youth and strong scriptural warning was necessary. Homosexuality had been condemned in both Leviticus (18:22; 20:13), where it is abhorrent to God, defiling, punishable by death , and in Deuteronomy (23:18), where it is forbidden to bring the hire of harlot or homosexual (“dog”) into the house of God in payment of religious vows, both being abhorrent to God. It is usually a
