LGBT culture war intensifies following the Nashville Statement

-


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-conception that is at odds with biological reality. In other words, it’s basic Christianity.

Politically correct, cowardly politicians such as the Mayor of Nashville, Megan Barry, have joined hands with the Gay Mafia in attacking Nashville Statement for its failure to reflect what she calls her city’s “inclusive values.” So-called liberal Christians and Evangelicals have also joined in the assault. In response to the Nashville Statement, “Christians United” has released a counter statement calling on those who oppose the LGBT movement to repent of their “sin of exclusion,” apparently unaware that Jesus never taught tolerance.

Christians United also affirms that God’s desire for human romantic relationships isn’t limited to a heterosexual relationship between one man and one woman. And they state that God didn’t create the male/female binary, society and culture did—meaning that God created the gender confused—and only by being faithful to the lie of transgenderism can they remain faithful to God.

The culture war is just that—a war—and we are where we are today because we have refused to fight, thinking that by staying out of the conflict we won’t be affected. That’s a lie. Silence is exactly how evil advances. We need to arm ourselves with the truth and fight.

A Catholic school board in Ontario will vote next week on a motion to fly the rainbow-colored homosexual pride flag at all board-run schools during the month of June. Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) Trustee Brenda Agnew gave notice of her motion titled “supporting our diverse school community” during an April 6 board meeting. Quoting Pope Francis along with LGBT talking points about “equity and inclusion,” the motion calls for the Board’s Director of Education Pat Daly to “direct all HCDSB schools including the Catholic Education Centre to fly the Pride flag during the month of June starting with 2021.” The motion is expected to be voted on by the Board at their next meeting on April 20. With nine trustees, the motion requires five votes to pass. A tied vote results in a fail. The HCDSB states on its website that its mission is to provide “excellence in Catholic education by developing Christ-centred individuals enabled to transform society.” The Catholic Church, basing i...

DENVER, CO ,  – A Colorado board has ruled that a Christian business owner must make wedding cakes for homosexual "marriages" despite his religious objections. Business owner Jack Phillips came under legal fire in 2012, when he refused to bake a cake for Dave Mullins and Charlie Craig , who had traveled to Massachusetts for a marriage license, and wanted to celebrate in their home state. They sued on the basis of a state law that prevents the application of religious beliefs if one owns a business. The Commission's ruling, which was issued verbally on Friday, orders Phillips to report every three months for the next two years on anti-discrimination training for his staff, and any customers who are refused service at his establishment. "I can believe anything I want, but if I'm going to do business here, I'd ought to not discriminate against people," said one of the Civil Rights Commission 's seven members in a public statement.

Australia: Gay Hate tribunals are coming

Are Hate Tribunals Are Coming In Canada , it is considered discriminatory to say that marriage is between a man and a woman or that every child should know and be raised by his or her biological married parents.  It is not just politically incorrect in Canada to say so; you can be saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, fined, and forced to take sensitivity training. Anyone who is offended by something you have said or written can make a complaint to the Human Rights Commissions and Tribunals. In Canada, these organizations police speech, penalizing citizens for any expression deemed in opposition to particular sexual behaviors or protected groups identified under “sexual orientation.” It takes only one complaint against a person to be brought before the tribunal, costing the defendant tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. The commissions have the power to enter private residences and remove all items pertinent to their investigations, checkin...
