GAY TRUTH

Via:  @jhiscock Minnesota will become the 12th state in the country, plus DC , to allow same-sex couples to marry, following a 37-30 vote of the state’s Senate on Monday. I want you to note one particular comment.  Judiciary Committee Chair Ron Latz  said, “ God made gays. And god made gays capable of loving other people of the same gender . Who are we to quibble with god’s intentions?” This accusation against God's nature, his holiness and righteousness is pure  arrogance. It is possible that Latz is ignorant as to the nature of God , or that Latz maybe referring to another God but not the God of Holy Scripture.  Latz is accusing God intentionally of creating sinful beings, while at the same time scripture clearly declares that God condemns homosexuality as a grevous sin.  Yet scripture says we are made in God's image. That sin entered the world through Adam via Satan in rebellion against God.  Accusing a holy righteous God ...

Let's look at the objection that Jesus Himself never said a word about homosexuality. Those who make this argument grant that Paul condemned it as sinful (Rom 1:26–27; 1 Cor 6:9–10; 1 Tim 1:9–10). But the sentiment behind this objection is that Paul had corrupted the way of life and the ideology that Jesus came to propagate, and that Jesus would have been “loving” and “accepting” of homosexuals, just as they are . But is it true that Jesus never said anything about homosexuality? Actually, just like the other objections, there are several reasons for which this objection simply does not hold up to biblical and logical scrutiny. Today let's address five of them. Argument from Silence First, it must be noted that this is an argument from silence, and thus rests on a shaky rational foundation. Jesus also didn’t say a word about pedophilia, bestiality, or rape. But it would be absurd to seek to garner support for any of those abominable acts on the basis of such sile...

Homosexuality is perhaps the most controversial issue of debate in the Australian culture  and in particular Bob Katter 's Australia party latest advertisments.  Behind this discussion is an agenda, pushed and promoted by activists, who seek legitimization and social sanction for homosexual acts , relationships, and lifestyles. The push is on for homosexual “marriage,” the removal of all structures and laws considered oppressive to homosexuals, and the recognition of homosexuals, bisexuals, transsexuals, and others as “erotic minorities,” deserving of special legal protection. The larger culture is now bombarded with messages and images designed to portray homosexuality as a normal lifestyle. Homoerotic images are so common in the mainstream media that many citizens have virtually lost the capacity to be shocked. The church has not been an outsider to these debates. As the issue of homosexual legitimization has gained public prominence and moved forward, some churches (port...

Image via Wikipedia The Bible is very clear about its condemnation of homosexual  conduct . Both the Old and New Testaments speak with one voice on this subject. In spite of the publicity given to pro-gay theologians in recent years, serious and consistent exegetical study still allows no other interpretation. Those who take seriously the authority of God’s Word should be aware that perhaps no subject poses a greater threat to the place of Scripture in our world today. If the world (and too often, even the church) can be convinced that we can ignore what the Bible teaches about homosexuality, then every other teaching of Scripture can be rationalized. Rejecting its teachings means confidence in the Bible as the inspired Word of God will be seriously eroded. Unfortunately, Christians have not taken the time to prepare to defend the truth we believe. We may be familiar with the relevant passages, but simply quoting those passages will do nothing for those who have taken the tim...
