Richard Grenell and homosexual Christian confused claims

Image
Grenell, who lives in Los Angeles , reportedly has a long-term homosexual partner, Matt Lashey . Grenell is pro-life and has worked over the years to help pro-life advocates at the UN, according to one veteran pro-life advocate involved in international issues. But when it comes to homosexuality, Grenell calls for greater “tolerance” in the Republican Party despite the party’s clear and longstanding platform language opposing “rights” and “marriage” based on aberrant sex. In a Feb. 3 podcast with FOX News reporter Shannon Bream , he said, “I am gay, I am a Christian and I am still a man of faith.” In the interview, Grenell demonstrates precisely the sort of pro-homosexual advocacy that inspires opposition among Christians who accept the  biblical proscription against homosexual behavior . BORN GAY - NO WAY - ONLY LADY GAGA SAYS SO ALONE “I know I was born this way,” he emphatically told Bream. (Social conservatives have long dismissed the “born gay” claim, and in r...

Jesus included the gentiles - therefore Jesus includes Homosexuals argument?

Image
Dr. Kirk (Fuller Seminary) didn't contest much of what I said about Jesus and Scripture. He just thinks Jesus (along with all the rest of Scripture) was wrong in insisting on a male-female foundation for sexual ethics, though that is not Jesus' fault because he was captive to his culture on this issue and lacked adequate information. So that idea that Jesus had, that the duality of number in a sexual union is predicated on the God-ordained duality of the sexes, is rendered irrelevant for Kirk apparently. Kirk appealed to the Gentile inclusion episode in Acts 10-11 as a basis for departing from Jesus and the entirety of Scripture to promote homosexual unions. I believe that I was able to show that this was a bad analogy, citing a half dozen arguments. His food analogy is also off-target. Jesus and Paul specifically said: Don't compare sex to food. Yet Dr. Kirk did so anyway. Didn't have the time to talk about his Sabbath illustration but this hardly serves as a closer...

Debunking the ‘Born This Way’ Myth

Love confused with lust - banner incorrect A new study challenges progressives’ tall tales about sexuality. Here is the world according to the LGBT Left: Just as there are black and white, there are gay and straight. One’s sexual orientation, like one’s race, is fixed and immutable at birth. The process of “questioning” one’s orientation isn’t a process of deciding but of discovering. Similarly, when it comes to gender identity, there is “cis” and there is “trans.” A cis person’s gender identity matches the sex they were “assigned” at birth.  A trans person — well, a trans person is any one of the fifty-plus other genders on the entirely reputable Facebook spectrum. This, you see, is science. Anyone who contradicts it — whether relying on ancient, discredited “holy” texts or outdated notions of morality — isn’t just ignorant, but bigoted. And when it comes to bigots, why draw minute moral distinctions? Is there really much difference between a Klan member and a Christian ...

South Carolina school district bows to Obama policy, lets boy use girls bathroom

Image
A South Carolina school district has yielded to the Obama Administration policy   imposing gender ideology   on public schools, and will allow a male student to use female restroom facilities. The district agreed as well to change its discrimination policy in keeping with   the Administration’s assertion   that   gender theory is a civil right . The parents of a male elementary student in Dorchester County School District Two near Charleston had filed a complaint last August with the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights, contending that the district’s refusal to give the boy access to the female restroom was a violation of his civil rights because he had begun identifying as female. Providing access to a private restroom was not satisfactory, the complaint   said . “This embarrassed the Student because she was forced to separate from her friends, who would often request to accompany her to the restroom, and because it required the Stud...

Catholic religion teacher removed, investigated after lesbian couple complains

Image
Two teens raised by a lesbian couple and attending a Catholic school in Edmonton, Alberta have complained against a religion teacher for allegedly telling the students in class that homosexuals can’t reproduce and that they are not married according to Catholic teaching. The Edmonton Catholic school board has now removed the teacher from the school - temporarily, at least for the time being - and launched an investigation into the allegations.  When students Tayler and Tyrus Allen told their mom, Elyssa Allen, and her partner Leigh Sylvester, to whom she is legally married, about the class given by 32-year veteran teacher Albert Felicitas at Archbishop O'Leary High School last month, the couple decided to take action, telling the teens to complain to the school principal, reported   Edmonton Journal .  Allen said that while she is aware that the Catholic Church does not recognize her marriage, she "can’t accept such overt anti-gay messages being taught," in the ...

Bullies: 28 EU member states agree to push immoral LGBTI agenda across Europe

Image
The 28 member states of the European Union reached a broad agreement Friday in support of “LGBTI equality” that will promote the homosexual activist sinful agenda across Europe, monitor immoral LGBT issues in European countries, and “combat discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity.” In other words, sin is out rights are in, morality is out immorality is in. According to the homosexual news agency Pink News, this is the first time that all 28 member states have reached such an agreement to promote the homosexual cause. Immorality and sin motivated by a spirit knows no bounds. God haters are now in charge of the EU. Under the agreement the EU’s Commission for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality will monitor “the situation of LGBTI people in the European Union and beyond” and report back regularly to the EU, according to Commissioner Věra Jourová.  The Council of the European Union invited the countries to follow a   24-page list of r...

Australia: Homosexual marriage plebiscite to cost $525m, PwC flawed modelling shows

Image
A stand-alone plebiscite on same-sex marriage could cost the Australian economy more than half a billion dollars, according to new research. Key points: · PwC modelling finds gay marriage plebiscite would result in $280m in lost productivity · That cost comes on top of $158m for nationwide campaign · Other costs included impact on mental health and wellbeing of LGBTI community · Cost would be reduced to $113m if the plebiscite was held at same time as election Modelling undertaken by accounting firm PwC says it would result in $280 million of lost productivity, on top of the cost of running the nationwide campaign, estimated at $158 million by the Australian Electoral Commission . The cost to the community of funding the two campaigns for and against the proposal would cost $66 million, while the impact on the mental health and wellbeing of the gay and lesbian community amounts to $20 million. In a statement, the Australian Christian Lobby ...

Why the Metropolitan Community Church and other - reinterpret the sin of homosexuality

Image
THE LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY felt an explosion quite unlike that which shook Sodom, an eruption of reinterpretation of Scripture regarding gay and lesbian sexuality. To varying degrees, these studies have found the traditional view of key texts wrongheaded and in error. The old interpretations were replaced by three approaches:     1.       References to homosexuality do not occur in passages where they traditionally have been seen (Gen. 19:1–8; Judg. 19:16–30; Ezek. 16:44–50; 1 Cor. 6:9–11; 1 Tim. 1:8–10; 2 Peter 2:6–8; and Jude 6–8). Identification of homosexuality in these passages is improper interpretation of Scripture.     2.       Homosexuality is in the context of certain passages, but these texts concern Israel ’s special ritual or sacred relationship to God (e.g., Levit. 18:22; 20:13). They are irrelevant to the Christian.     3.       Whatever references to homosexuality are in Scripture may...

Christian colleges & gender identity: the next assault on religious freedom?

Image
You’ve probably heard of Title IX , the federal law signed by President Nixon in 1972 “that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity.” Title IX is probably best known for its effect on women’s athletics by mandating equitable treatment with men’s teams. Of course, discrimination against women and girls on the basis of their sex is a bad thing, and so Title IX—though not a perfect piece of legislation—has done a  lot  of good. But the federal government has a habit of extending legislation beyond its intended reach, and that’s what is happening right now with Title IX. The Department of Education, under pressure from LGBT groups such as the Human Rights Campaign and some legislators, has agreed to create a public, searchable database of Christian colleges and universities that obtained Title IX waivers based on claims of religious freedom. These exemptions—which, for example, allow religious schools to pro...
