English: Gender symbols, sexual orientation: heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality. Česky: (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Matthew Vines is a young homosexual who, on March 8, 2012, spoke at College Hill United Methodist Church in Kansas in defense of biblical support for homosexuality.  He taught from scripture in a church.  His Youtube video of the event has, as of June 2012, received over 500,000 views.  On his website at http://matthewvines.tumblr.com is a complete transcript of that speech (9,876 words or about 21, 8.5" x 11" pages).  I emailed Mr. Vines asking for permission to reprint it and interject comments into it for an article here on CARM .  As far as I know, I received no reply.  Therefore, I've written articles in response to his arguments where I have quoted him and addressed his basic assertions.

WASHINGTON, D.C. , December 20, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – As Congress goes home for Christmas,  the Obama administration is now using executive powers  and other regulatory policies to benefit homosexuals. This week, the Social Security Administration   announced  that it is starting to give homosexual couples “survivor benefits,” formerly reserved for heterosexual couples who were legally married.

This may change to incorporate couples in states where homosexuals cannot get “married.” Last week, Education Secretary Arne Duncan   continued  the administration's efforts to help gay couples with student loans. Duncan  said  the administration would not differentiate be...
