Why I won’t marry Kylie until we have marriage equality’

Image
Better Than Today (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) JOSHUA Sasse is hoping for equality sooner rather than later after vowing not to marry Australian singer Kylie Minogue until same sex marriage is made legal here.  Who is this person?   Unknown man thinks by not marrying Minogue, it will change millions of Australians that homosexual marriage is NOT a disordered lifestlye and that gay marriage is simply worng! Sasse is oging to print t-shirt- "say I Do Down Under " campaign. “This could be anywhere, and I’m hoping after this that it creates a snowball affect and then it will be Say I Do in Greenland , South America , China and Russia, in all of the states that have anti- homosexuality laws.” THIS PERSON IS SURELY A JOKE? Unmarried Minogue said how “backward” Australia is on the issue of same-sex marriage and that “the earth didn’t cave in” in other countries where it has been legalised and that “love is love”. Well, Paris last week had its biggest protest on ...

The faulty homosexual arguement

Image
The LGBTIQ lobby has promoted its case largely through "no difference" arguments : there is no difference between a man and a woman (" gender neutrality "); there's no difference between an opposite-sex couple and a same-sex one because in both cases love is the couple's bond and marriage is just a public recognition of that love; there is no difference between a child having a mother and a father and having two mothers or two fathers , again, because love is all that counts. Without question, love is important for children, but we are learning that other factors, such as complementarity in parenting between a mother and a father, are also important, even possibly because of epigenetic effects - different genes are activated (imprinted) by the different parenting behaviour of a man compared with a woman. All children, including those who will be homosexual, need both a mother and a father. Yet another consideration favouring children's right...

Australia: Response to Kristina Keneally on homosexual marriage plebiscite and Churches

Image
 Kristina Keneally. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) When it comes to the same-sex marriage plebiscite the Christian churches are making a mistake of biblical proportions. Before the 2 July election many Christian churches urged their voters to support a plebiscite by voting for the Coalition .  There is no way of knowing if this statement is true. Many Christian voters may have chosen to vote for independents and not the Coalition because Turnbull was promoting homosexual marriage as compared to Abbott who was againt it. There is no evidence for this comment. But it is true many, abandoned Turnbull. Sydney Catholic Archbishop Anthony Fisher didn’t tell his parishioners how to vote, but he did write that “we could all benefit from the kind of national conversation a plebiscite should occasion”. Fisher and I don’t agree on how marriage should be defined, but there was a time I largely agreed with him on that sentiment. But I’ve changed my mind. Keneally is wel...

Church of England now on the border of being heretic apostate

Image
Supporters of a change in the Church of England’s stance on sexuality have voiced dismay after a new panel of bishops to help “discern” its future course on issues such as same-sex marriage was chosen seemingly dominated traditionalists. These amazed liberals neither know nor understand the scriptures. They violate Romans 1:27 and in fact are included in God's condemnation by supporting the notion of homosexual marriage as prohibited by scripture. The 10-strong “Bishop’s Reflection Group” appointed by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York includes a string of prominent evangelicals and some seen as staunch conservatives but no-one who has openly advocated a change in teaching or practice on the issue. Liberals voiced anger while opponents of any change also privately hailed the make-up of the group, set up after a four-day gathering of all the bishops last week, as better than they expected from their point of view. The Church of England is on the border of being apostate. Th...

Anglicans censure their US branch over same sex marriage

English: Shield of the US Episcopal Church, colors from http://www.episcopalchurch.org/imageshop_11785_ENG_HTM.htm. The shield was adopted in 1940. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The heads of Anglican Churches meeting in Canterbury, England have imposed “consequences” on the Episcopal Church (their American branch) for adopting same sex marriage. The US -based church has been to withdraw their representatives from Anglican meetings. The issue of homosexuality has divided the Anglican Communion since 2003 when an openly gay bishop was elected in New Hampshire . An official statement from the gathering of “Primates” (leaders of national churches around the world) says “Recent developments in The Episcopal Church with respect to a change in their Canon on marriage represent a fundamental departure from the faith and teaching held by the majority of our Provinces on the doctrine of marriage. Possible developments in other Provinces could further exacerbate this situation.” A key sec...

Here is the faulty theological argument - God celebrate LGBT marriage?

Image
Canterbury Cathedral. View from the north west circa 1890–1900 (retouched from a black & white photograph). (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) This article was written by an Anglican priest . It seems like a nice cordial friendly piece which seeks to be open and friendly but at the cost of biblical truth. He has presented his flawed argument seeking to sound biblical, Christian and righteous. But in reality, it is a false charade of half truth and outright lies. For example read the quote below, and see where this is coming from. "LGBT Christians do not want to be "included" on the basis that their sinful relationships are overlooked by a merciful God , but rather that their relationships can themselves be  sacramental  - visible signs of the divine love." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THIS IS THE ARTICLE BELOW While the Primates were ensconced in the precincts of Canterbury Cathedral , a fascinating ...
