GAY TRUTH

In his new book,  Making Gay Okay: How Rationalizing Homosexual Behavior Is Changing Everything ,  Robert Reilly poses this question: “Is sodomy  reasonable ?” He believes this question can only be answered by enquiring into the Nature of sexual acts. He frames his arguments rejecting homosexual behavior, not persons, and same-sex marriage in terms of reason, Nature and the teleology of sex. Reilly’s thesis is that there are “two fundamental views of reality.” One views things as having a Nature that is teleological or ordered to “ends that inhere in their essence and make them what they are” and have “inbuilt purposes.” The other view sees things as having no Nature or ends in themselves, “but only what we make them to be according to our wills and desires.” The former view leads to the “primacy of reason,” and the latter inclines to the “primacy of will” which allows for anything. “This is what the same-sex marriage debate is really about - the Nature of reality it...

English: Kevin Rudd, 26th Prime Minister of Australia. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Kevin Rudd was profoundly wrong in his understanding of the Bible . He misquoted the Bible and attributed to the Bible something that Aristotle said (that slavery is a natural condition). The Bible never says that. The Bible sees slavery as the result of fallen and broken relationships in society and it is crystal clear in its condemnation of the slave trade . I was disappointed by Mr Rudd's comments last night in the same way that I was disappointed by the position he announced in May despite, as he said, after much reflection. Unfortunately in my view he has not been reflecting on the teaching of Scripture. To sanction same-sex ' marriage ' is not the teaching of the Anglican Church of Australia nor is it the teaching of the Bible. The Bible views marriage as an institution that God has created. Jesus brings clarity to the nature of marriage by saying that it is an exclusive rela...

Another great disappointment in the campaign is the answer Kevin Rudd gave regarding gay marriage on the ABC ’s “QandA “ programme on Monday. Now, I think Kevin is a good bloke, but he seems to have adopted, not just the completely subjective hermeneutic of liberal Anglicanism , but also the smug and sneering arrogance of liberal church leaders towards those who argue for the Christian understanding of marriage (or anything else, for that matter). So, I was pleased to read this statement by the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney , Dr Glenn Davies , about what Kevin said: “Kevin Rudd was profoundly wrong in his understanding of the Bible . He misquoted the Bible and attributed to the Bible something that Aristotle said (that slavery is a natural condition). The Bible never says that.

RELIGIOUS leaders have sharpened their attacks on Kevin Rudd , citing his hamfisted attempts to argue the biblical case for same-sex marriage in a spirited shellacking of a Christian pastor on Monday night . Broad views abounded but one of the most prominent Anglicans in the country and New Testament scholar, the Archbishop of Sydney , Glenn Davies , said the Prime Minister was "profoundly wrong" and alleged he had actually quoted Aristotle when he suggested that "slavery is a natural condition" was in the Bible .

Humanity's very foundation of ‘being’ is rooted with the bond between man and woman. Archaeology shows the importance of the family unit working together as the first and most basic unit of human cooperation. There is overwhelming evidence that the unit of ‘mom, dad and children’ has been encouraged from the earliest pre-written record. The union between one man and one woman was the first and most lasting definition of marriage. Marriage did not originate from the state and does not have the legitimate authority to change its nature. Marriage may have been used for various power and control purposes at various times and by various cultures – but for the average person the basics of marriage have always been about moms, dads and children. Confucius (551 – 479 BC ) – A pre- Christian philosopher said: “Other things may change – but we start and end with family” “A married couple is the basic unit of the population. The very purpose of marriage is the cultivation of virtue.” “V...
