GAY TRUTH

A message to Uniting Church members about the decision on marriage at the 15th Assembly from Uniting Church in Australia on Vimeo . If one acknowledges that the Bible presents universal claims regarding God, then there is no escaping the universal significance of what the Bible reveals about homosexuality. The essence of the error of homosexuality is pride, and pride is always wrong, for everyone. The Uniting Church has failed to show biblical leadership, and is now in open rebellion against God. NEW LIFE CHURCH QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA - will be fasting for 40 days to determine if they will follow the unbiblical decision from the 15th Assembly of the Uniting Church in Australia. To permit pastor to marry homosexuals is simply a fatally flawed decision. The question remains - why do you need to fast when the leadership of a Church movement clearly violates the Bible? You don't! You break away, from an apostate church movement and you do it fast!  Everybody comes to the m

The Marriage Act provides that a minister of religion that's registered under a particular denomination is able to refuse to solemnise a marriage for any reason. So if a pastor in Mount Isa was registered as part of a denomination which is registered under the Marriage Act, they could refuse to solemnise a same-sex marriage , and they wouldn't be able to be sued for the discrimination. In section 47 of the Marriage Act it says 'Nothing imposes an obligation on an authorised celebrant, being a minister of religion, to solemnise any marriage. This protection did not extend to independent marriage celebrants, who could not rely on their attachment to a registered denomination under the Marriage Act. If an independent civil celebrant had their own particular religious convictions but weren't officially attached to a recognised denomination, if they refuse to solemnise a same-sex marriage, they wouldn't be protected by the Marriage Act and under the current

Many good resources concerning the Bible and homosexuality have emerged over the past five years. Two of the more popular volumes are Kevin DeYoung ’s What Does the Bible Really Teach about Homosexuality? (Crossway 2015) and Sam Alberry’s Is God Anti-Gay? (Good Book Company 2013). Each of these books has proven to be helpful for Christians seeking better to understand our own faith and the ongoing war against sin. The thrust of these volumes is to understand the biblical position concerning homosexuality. For authors Denny Burk and Heath Lambert, the time has arrived for moving the conversation another step forward. According to Burk and Lambert, evangelicals share a consistent conviction that homosexual practice is sinful according to the Scriptures. Division now is taking place at the level of attraction, desire, and temptation. The evangelical conversation must address whether or not same-sex attraction is sinful. In their own description of this volume, P&R Publishing sa

Some scholars have asserted that Paul's writings about  homosexuality are actually about abusive homosexual relationships   (i.e., rape, prostitution, etc.). Isn't it the case that what Paul  says does not apply to consensual same-sex relationships ? Due to the work of Robert Gagnon and many other biblical scholars, we know that this was not the case.' Secular historians of the Roman Empire  also record clear examples of consensual, adult same-sex relationships in the Greco-Roman world . Paul knew exactly what he was condemning . Christians need to remember, given the doctrine of the divine inspiration of Scripture, that when Paul condemns something, the Holy Spirit condemns it as well. When we cite Paul, we cite the Holy Spirit. Romans 1 and 1 Corinthians 5 present a very sophisticated argument for the sinfulness of same-sex acts and same-sex relationships. In 1 Corinthians 5, Paul demonstrates an undeniable belief in the sinfulness of both the passive and
