Liberals who promote SSM - now claim Christian parents are dangerous.

Image
Over the past two decades, it has slowly dawned on Christians that the implications of same-sex “marriage” are far greater for those who still believe in the traditional understanding of marriage than even the cynics first thought possible. The politicians, the academics, and the media have reached the collective conclusion that if gay “marriage” is a civil right, those who oppose it are not simply dissenters holding to a two-thousand-year-old tradition, but ugly bigots who deserve to be marginalized for their discriminatory views.  THOUGHT CRIMES Thus, “live and let live” turned into “you will be forced to participate and approve,” with bakers, florists, property owners, and adoption agencies finding themselves to be the targets of gay activists who show a shocking ruthlessness in their enthusiasm for prosecuting supposed thought crimes. None of this will be news to most of you, but the impact of radical reinvention of our social structures is beginning to impact Christ...

Brazilian government demands apology from televangelist for ‘homophobia’

Image
A Brazilian federal prosecutor is demanding that a televangelist retract certain statements he made which the prosecutor says incited “hatred” against homosexuals - a thinly veiled threat of future legal action . “The people in the Gay Parade mock the symbols of the Catholic Church and no one says anything,” televangelist Silas Malafaia reportedly said. “The Catholic Church should take a stick to these guys, you know? They should lower the club on them.” Silas Malafia Malafaia has reportedly responded to criticisms that he was inciting violence against homosexuals by stating that by “take a stick” (“entrar de pau”) and “lower the club” (“baixar o porrete) he meant the Church should “formulate criticisms, take legal actions.” In his remarks Malafaia was referring to the desecration of sacred images that occur regularly in homosexual parades in Brazil. Federal prosecutor Jefferson Apareceido Dias says the comments contain “clear homophobic content, because they incite violenc...

Trump’s pro-life Army Secretary now bows out amid LGBTQ witch hunt

Image
Dr. Mark Green, President Trump ’s choice for Secretary of the Army , withdrew his nomination today amid an escalating cascade of  LGBT and leftist attacks  portraying him as “hateful” based on distortions of his past statements. “It is with deep regret I am withdrawing my nomination to be the Secretary of the Army,”  Dr. Green  said in a statement, reported by  The Hill . He blamed “false and misleading attacks” against him and said he did not want to become a distraction. “I am honored that President Trump nominated me for this position. I appreciate his support and confidence in me, as well as that of [Defense] Secretary [James] Mattis and many others, and their desire to Make America Great Again by preparing our military to face the many challenges in the world for the safety and security of our nation,” said Dr. Green, according to The Hill. This is the second Trump nominee for Secretary of the Army to step aside. In February, his first choice,...

Northern Ireland bakery refuses to make pro-gay marriage cake - again

Image
Ashers Bakery in Northern Ireland has been criticised and bullied by LGBTQ zealots again for refusing to make an engagement cake for a same-sex couple . The news comes just months after the bakery's evangelical Christian owners lost an appeal to overturn a conviction that found the firm guilty of discrimination , for refusing to bake an immoral homosexual marriage themed cake in 2014.  Joe Palmer, who is due to marry Andy Wong this summer, having intentionally targetted this cake shop - has said he is hurt by the bakery's refusal to bake an immoral homosexual for a second time. Poor Joe he is hurt. This is the sloppiest form of argument - I am hurt by you because you believe my homosexuality is a sin. How dare you! A friend of Palmer, Grainne McCann, ordered and paid for the cake online, but the order was rejected the following day. This is a good thing. "The wording we requested was ' Gay marriage rocks! Happy engagement, Andy and Joe! Lots of love xxx'...

InterVarsity Stands for Biblical morals - rejects homosexual agenda

Image
One of the biggest evangelical Christian college organizations in the country has recently told its staffers that they’ll be fired if they express support for same-sex marriage, divorce or premarital sex . The 1300 staffers of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship USA —a group with branches on 667 college campuses around the country—received a letter from the organization’s management telling them their jobs will be terminated if they come forward to express opinions that contradict its positions on sexuality, Time reported this week . “If they disagree, we trust that they will alert their supervisors and conclude their work,” the letter reads, according to The Daily News . “The news may be hard, like many other aspects of following Jesus , but it is good for all people.” The letter refers to a position paper which clearly defines “healthy human sexuality” as being strictly between a husband and wife: One former staffer at Mills College , Bianca Louie, told Time she decided to lea...

Homosexual Marriage and the cost of conviction

Image
Giotto di Bondone (1267-1337), Cappella Scrovegni a Padova, Life of Christ, Marriage at Cana (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act serves as a boost to ongoing efforts to legalize same-sex marriage across the nation. Christians believe marriage is defined by God and recognized by government. But many today believe marriage is defined by government and must be recognized by all. For this reason, I’m not optimistic about the trends concerning marriage and family in the United States . Neither am I sure of what all this means for those who, in good conscience, stand against the tide. But I am optimistic about the church of Jesus Christ . We’ve been through societal transformations before, and we’re sure to go through them again. For example, the conversion of Constantine to Christianity in 313 A. D. was certainly good for the church. (We didn’t have to worry about being fed to the lions in the Coliseum ...

The Lesbians Daughter - Life as the offspring of a lesbian

Image
English: Gender symbols, sexual orientation: heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality. Česky: (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) I remember the night Ellen came out on her TV show in front of millions of people. My mom and her girlfriend were big Ellen fans and we watched the show religiously. After the episode went off that night I was left with the sensation of a bomb having just exploded before my eyes and waiting for the fallout. Strangely, it never came. At least, not that I was aware of. For me it seemed as though that was the beginning of this tidal wave that is currently descending upon society at the present moment. The onslaught of pushing homosexuality and alternative lifestyles into every nook and cranny is suffocating. I think that should speak volumes coming from a child raised by lesbians. From gay pride flags at military celebrations to smut mags at the grocery stores, homosexuality is being thrown up all over the place. While I agree that no one should be treated b...

Confused Evangelicals for Marriage Equality - UnBiblical

Image
Rainbow flag. Symbol of gay pride. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) On the weekend of January 10–11, 2015, about 1,500 people gathered in Portland, Oregon , for the annual gathering of “ LGBTQ 1 Christians” organized by the Gay Christian Network . Brandan Robertson was there and reported on the conference. 2 I would like to comment on his report. Robertson is (in his words) the “national spokesperson” for the organization “Evangelicals for Marriage Equality ” (EME). He states that EME exists, to help change hearts and minds of evangelical Christians on the issue of same-sex civil marriage. . . . We make the case that you can be a faithful Bible-believing evangelical while supporting the right of same-sex couples to be civilly married in the United States and that whatever your theology might be, it shouldn’t dictate what you should believe politically and socially about this. 3 He also tells us in the MSNBC clip that “The latest poll shows that 43% of millennial evangelicals now su...
