Dutch Pastors face possible criminal investigation for signing the Biblical Marriage Statement

Image
Last month, over 250 Dutch pastors and church leaders went public with their endorsement of the Nashville Statement. At least one member of the Dutch parliament also endorsed the statement. Even though they simply meant to reaffirm what Christianity has always taught for its entire 2,000-year history, the statement has been met with fierce opposition in the Netherlands. Over the last several days, the public outcry against these leaders for their Christian convictions has been ferocious. Politicians and celebrities have publicly denounced them. The Hague, which is recognized as the international center for law and justice, flew a rainbow flag in protest of the Nashville Statement. And now, the country’s public prosecution service is “examining the statement to see if there [is] any basis for a criminal investigation,” according to a Dutch news site . The news report cites Article 1 of the Dutch constitution as possible grounds for the investigation, which states that “discriminatio...

LGBT activists physically attack Dutch Christians protesting erotic ads

Image
You’d think that a manufacturer of men’s business suits would favor a conservative image, but not Holland ’s Suitsupply . The clothing manufacturer angered many families in the Netherlands with its sexually-explicit advertising, which appears on posters and billboards. In the past, the firm has used photographs that exploit naked or near-naked women; more recently, they have shown men in homoerotic poses. More than 5,000 of these advertisements have been posted in Holland. In response, 10 men belonging to the Dutch pro-family organization Stichting Civitas Christiana held a demonstration in Nijmegen’s Keizer Karelplein Square on March 10. They all wore suits. In response, a crowd of approximately 150 LGBT activists, including members of Antifa , held a violent counter-protest. They were not wearing suits. While police and politicians looked on, several LGBT activists darted across the few feet that divided them from the pro-family demonstrators to hit them or throw ...

Catholic cathedral welcomes ‘Pink Saturday’ gay pride gathering with bishop’s blessing

Image
The southern Dutch town of ’s-Hertogenbosch ( Den Bosch for short) has been chosen to host the Netherlands’ “ Pink Saturday ” on June 24. The capital of the historically Catholic province of North-Brabant will welcome LGBT persons from all over the country and beyond with a first-ever event: an ecumenical prayer service for participants to be held in the Catholic cathedral of Saint John the Evangelist in the presence of Bishop Gerard de Korte . The Roman Catholic bishop recently confirmed that he will give a blessing at the end of the ceremony. Gay rights groups are overjoyed. The local radio, Omroep Brabant , tweeted “Hallelujah” when the news was made public. “ Roze Zaterdag ” is the Dutch version of Gay Pride, including a parade with provocative and outré dress and attitudes. Nowadays, cultural, musical and other events officially organized by the host city are thrown in, usually a full week before the day of celebration. It got its name from the protest marchers that...

Dutch men hold hands to protest homophobia - would they do this for adultery?

Image
Politicians from Democrats 66 party, Alexander Pechtold (L) and Wouter Koolmees (R), arrived a meeting in Le Hague holding hands to show support for immoral homosexuality after there was an incident or attack wither on or by two homosexual men in the Netherlands on Sunday. Two homosexual men said they were attacked in the early hours of the morning in Arnhem in the country's east.  They claim they were attacked because they were holding hands. The lawyer of the alleged attackers appeared on a TV show claiming one of the homosexual men threw the first punch and had nothing to do with hand holding.  But does that stop the pro-homosexual zealots including politicians who will jump at any chance to promote immoral homosexuality. Homosexuals around the world are using every gimmick, every form of manipulation to achieve their immoral goals. That does not mean violence is the answer, but awareness of these horrid tactics that seek to normalize the immoral sin of ...

First New Zealand lesbian ‘marriage’ over already?

New Zealand ’s first same-sex “marriage” is shaping up to become the country’s first same-sex divorce. Less than a year since they became the poster girls for the country’s new legal definition of marriage (last August) the  NZ Herald reports  that Melissa Ray , a former Ferns football player, and Natasha Vitali, a sales rep, are “believed to have split”. The main source of the story appears to be Ms Vitali’s Facebook page on which the following poem appeared yesterday: Drink it down, laugh it off, Avoid the drama, take chances, And never have regrets,  Because at one point everything you did,  Was exactly what you wanted. When the  Herald  contacted her Ms Vitali said: "It's not anyone's business, we'll just leave it at that, but thank you for calling.” And, “I'm not talking to you about my private life, we got enough coverage when we got married." It is well known that female partnerships break up more often than male – twice as much, acco...

Gay Marriages don't even last!

Image
According to  Vicky Gene Robinson , who  retired  as a bishop in 2013 and is currently a senior fellow at the liberal  Center for American Progress , "it takes two people to make a marriage and two people to make a divorce ." But Robinson said that despite the legal separation , he "will be forever grateful to [Mark]" for "standing by me through the challenges of the last decade." Bishop Gene Robinson The divorce was the bishop's second – Robinson  was married to a woman for 14 years . Homosexual activists have responded to the news of the high-profile dissolution by saying that homosexual and heterosexual marriages often end in divorce. But they don't know what they are talking about. However, a 2004  Family Research Council  study  showed  that only five percent of homosexual couples in America are still together after 20 years, while nearly 58 percent of heterosexuals were still married 20 years after walking down the aisle. ...

LGBT lobby is encouraging homosexual men to take children away from mothers of the Third World

Image
While US conservatives are distracted by internal debates, the wealthy and powerful international movement for LGBT rights is aggressively targeting nations that are poorer and less powerful. Speaking before the United Nations earlier this month—bragging about American leadership in a global movement to normalize homosexuality, same-sex marriage, artificial reproductive technology, and cross-dressing— John Kerry revealed the deep pockets and loaded guns that the world’s only superpower can count on to bring such ideas to nations that have religious or cultural objections: The Global Equality Fund is one way in which like-minded countries can address this injustice and show their support for LGBT persons. Since the United States launched the Fund in 2011, it has allocated over $7 million in more than 50 countries worldwide. And the investments have helped to challenge the discriminatory laws that undermine human rights and bolster—and to bolster civil society organizations that def...
