GAY TRUTH

The Paradise (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Justification of homosexuality from the Bible must take into account the record of Creation in Genesis 1–2. Such revisionist interpreters as Boswell have not overlooked this matter. They so interpret these passages that homosexuality escapes condemnation. The assumption that the record of Creation and the Old Testament emphasis on marriage show tacit rejection of one-gender sexual relationships is “insupportable in a modern context,” asserts Boswell. “It does not seem to have occurred to early Christians .” Indeed, “intense love relations between persons of the same gender figure prominently in the Old Testament.”14 Boswell cites Saul and David , David and Jonathan, Ruth and Naomi . Boswell does not argue that these relationships were sexual. He suggests as much, however, by observing that literature of the Middle Ages sometimes represented these relationships as erotic. He believes that Genesis employs symbols and myths “to explain all

Richard Page, a 68-year-old British Justice of the Peace and evangelical Christian , has been condemned by the country’s highest legal authorities, suspended, and subjected to a day-long re-education session to rid him of the dangerous belief that a child would be better off being adopted by a family with a mother and a father than by a same-sex couple. Page sat on a family court tribunal last summer to consider a social worker’s recommendation that a foster child be adopted by a gay couple. “I raised some questions in private with the other judges, including that I thought that because a baby comes from a man and a woman it made me think the child would be better off with a father and a mother than with single-sex parents. The other judges didn’t agree at all,” he told LifeSiteNews. British Justice of the Peace Richard Page Worse, the other judges complained. A review committee concurred, suspended him from the bench and recommended he be kicked off the lowest rung of the judic

English: St. Joseph Catholic High School in Barrhaven, a suburb of Ottawa, Ontario. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) T he Ottawa Catholic School Board reversed the decision of one of its principals last week, allowing two grade six girls to go ahead with a project on “gay rights.” Board chairperson Ted Hurley said it had become “clear” that the girls’ purpose was in line with Catholic teaching and merely aimed “to combat the kinds of behaviour and attitudes that can lead to bullying of gay people.” However, on the weekend the girls were photographed lunching with the founder of a homosexual activist organization that exists to promote the normalization of homosexuality among young people in school. The photo, taken by one of the girls’ moms and  posted to Twitter  on Sunday, shows 11-year-old Quinn Maloney-Tavares and her friend Polly Hamilton posing with homosexual activist Jeremy Dias, founder of Jer’s Vision, in an Ottawa -area restaurant. The tweet read: “Lunch with Jer fro

Bangor Daily News building (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) A court in Maine has ordered the Orono School District to pay $75,000 to a homosexual advocacy group and allow self-identified “transgender” students to use the bathrooms of the opposite sex, ending a nearly seven-year legal battle that began after school officials tried to safely accommodate a boy living as a girl who was bullied in the girls’ restroom. Wyatt Maines, now 17, began living as a girl in 3 rd  grade with the apparent blessing of the Orono School District, which allowed him to go by the name “Nicole” and use facilities meant for females even though he is biologically male. (He has since made the name change legal.)  But after a bullying incident in the girls’ bathroom at Asa Adams Elementary School led the district to walk back its liberal policy for Maines’ own protection, requiring him to use single-stall restrooms normally reserved for staff and assigning him a between-class adult minder to ensure his safet

[Editor's note:  I have come to know Wendy and her story through an amazing set of circumstances that only God could have arranged. She is a delightful woman who loves the Lord with all of her heart and has asked BarbWire to share her moving story of redemption and freedom from homosexual sin through the power of Christ Jesus . Wendy has said that it is her hope that her testimony might resonate with even one person who can relate to the circumstances that Satan used to lead her into the homosexual lifestyle. If you are that person, then you (and God) will know it. What the enemy intended for evil, God is using for incredible good in the life of Wendy. The same can be true for you. - Matt Barber ] My name is Wendy and I was born in a small town in Virginia . I was in church, every time the doors were open, for as far back as I can remember. I also attended the Christian school within my church that was rooted deeply in an Independent Baptist doctrine. My mama was very sickl

English: Headmistress and primary school students in Ghana (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Following the conclusion of the Synod on the Family in Rome , the Catholic bishops of Ghana met at their plenary assembly this month to continue to consider the challenges faced by Ghanaian families, and to reaffirm the Church's teaching on marriage and family life. The theme of this year's plenary was “The Pastoral Challenges of the Family in the Context of Evangelization .” "The African cherishes the family as the fundamental base of humanity and of society," the bishops observed. "As a family, respect, sense of belonging and care for one another are our values." The plenary, they said, focused on concerns that today the family is undergoing "significant challenges that rock the very foundation on which God has set the human society ." The bishops affirmed that the Church’s perennial and unchanging teaching on the family "is based on the n

The effect of the repeated “handed over” is not to imply any increasing depth of depravity, implying a downward spiral of degradation, since what is described in vv 26–27 is no different from and no worse than the state depicted more briefly in v 24. But the repetition of the same phrase, “For this cause God handed them over,” increases the solemnity and seriousness of the charge being made, the awfulness of the state to which man has come by virtue of turning his back on God, literally, the God-forsaken character of his plight. The description which follows is a characteristic expression of Jewish antipathy toward the practice of homosexuality so prevalent in the Greco-Roman world . Paul’s attitude to homosexual practice is unambiguous. The third appearance of the word “changed” (cf. vv 23 and 25) seems to imply that the action described (“changing the natural use to that which is contrary to nature”) is of a piece with and direct result of the basic corruption of the glory and t
