Franklin Graham: Jimmy Carter ‘absolutely wrong’ about Jesus backing abortion, gay ‘marriage’

Image
Evangelical leader Rev. Franklin Graham took to social media on Tuesday to forcefully denounce former Democrat President Jimmy Carter’s claim that Jesus Christ would embrace same-sex “marriage” and at least some abortions. Over the past few days, several websites have drawn attention to a  2015 interview Carter gave to  HuffPost Live  in which he discussed the tension between his professed Baptist faith and the left-wing dictates of his party. Jesus didn’t come to promote sin, He came to save us from sin Faith has “always been important in my life. Y’know, I’m a born-again Christian, so-called, I’m a Baptist. I taught Sunday school the day before yesterday, I’ll be teaching again next Sunday, I teach every Sunday that I’m home in Plains,” he told interviewer Marc Lamont Hill, claiming to have “never run across any really serious conflicts between my political obligations and my religious faith.” However, he went on to claim that “Jesus would approve gay ...

Judge refuses to delay same-sex ‘marriage’ lawsuit in Wisconsin

Image
MADISON, WI ,  – A federal judge will  allow  a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Wisconsin’s ban on same-sex “marriage” to continue, over the objections of state officials. The state of Wisconsin had asked the court to delay proceedings pending the results of another case pertaining to domestic partnerships.  But U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb refused, saying she believes the domestic partnership case can only serve to boost gay couples’ legal prospects, so waiting on the results is pointless. U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb “Abstaining or staying the case would serve no purpose but to delay the case,” Crabb wrote. “As the [homosexual] plaintiffs point out, if the Wisconsin Supreme Court upholds the domestic partnership law , nothing changes.  If the court invalidates the law, the only effect is to make the deprivation imposed on plaintiffs by [the marriage amendment] more severe. Thus, it is difficult to envision any scenario in w...

Desmond Tutu says he would rather go to hell than to ‘homophobic heaven’

CAPE TOWN, South Africa , - Speaking at a press event in Cape Town during the launch of a UN campaign promoting homosexual "rights," retired Anglican archbishop Desmond Tutu said he would prefer to go to hell than to worship a "homophobic" God or go to "homophobic heaven." "I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven. No, I would say sorry, I mean I would much rather go to the other place," Tutu said at the launch of the UN's "Free and Equal" campaign.  Archbishop Desmond Tutu "I would not worship a God who is homophobic and that is how deeply I feel about this, " he said.  Tutu was joined at the "Free and Equal" press event by UN Human Rights High Commissioner Navi Pillay and Justice Edwin Cameron of the South African Constitutional Court .  There they announced the launch of the year-long project, which the  UN's website  describes as a “global public education campaign to promote greater...

When will churches stand against homosexual marriage?

What will it take? If you listened to the video, it is clear that this teacher is the one that escalated the incident. She began yelling and berating the student that brought up an opposing viewpoint. Nothing he said about  President Obama  was even disrespectful. He made a counter-argument and she went ballistic and even made outrageous claims suggesting he could be arrested.   The shocking video should be our wake up call.  Classrooms all over  America  have become nothing more than propaganda machines for Obama’s reelection.  We know that this classroom situation is but the tip of ice berg.   Need more evidence?  Yesterday, the  NAACP  decided to formally approve of gay marriage and will now bully millions of  black Christians  to violate their  Christian  conscience.  Get real!  They had years to decide if gay marriage was Official photographic portrait of US President Barack Oba...

Politican Jimmy Cater stumbles on Gay Marriage

Image
ATLANTA, GEORGIA , March 20, 2012, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Former president Jimmy Carter has been strongly identified as a “Born Again” Christian and as a liberal Democrat for nearly five decades. He is once more blending those roles as he promotes “his” latest book, his own study Bible . The  NIV Lessons from Life Bible: Personal Reflections with Jimmy Carter  contains the full text of the New International Version of the Bible and the former president’s prayers, reflections, and asides. During his book tour to promote a study of the Scriptures, Carter mentioned he  supports same-sex “marriage.” President Carter told Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, senior religion editor of  The Huffington Post : Homosexuality was well known in the ancient world, well before Christ was born and Jesus never said a word about homosexuality. In all of his teachings about multiple things – he never said that gay people should be condemned.  I personally think it is very fine for gay p...

President Obama and same-sex ‘marriage’ — the dance continues

Image
Image via Wikipedia January 5, 2012 ( AlbertMohler.com ) - Some predictions are rather safe to make. 2012 is almost certain to be a determinative year on the issue of same-sex marriage. Multiple courts appear poised to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act [DOMA] and, even more urgently, the appeal on California’s Proposition 8 at the Ninth Circuit U. S. Court of Appeals will set up a certain appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court . Given the facts of this case and the significance of the nation’s most populous state, the Supreme Court is almost certain to take the case. This sets the stage for the courts to make some determinative statement on same-sex marriage within the next several months — a decision that will go a long way toward setting the direction of the larger culture. At the same time, the same-sex marriage issue will play a part in the 2012 presidential campaign. The reason for this is quite simple. The issue of same-sex marriage is about far more than marriage as a legal ...
