GAY TRUTH

It’s the question that’s dividing churches and separating family members. It’s the question that must be answered: Can you be gay and Christian ? Well, if you claim to be a Christian, that means that Jesus is your Lord and the Bible tells you how to follow him. So, the real question is: What does Jesus have to say about this? And what does the Bible – God ’s Word – have to say? That’s what we need to find out. Of course, we understand that every Christian struggles in some area, whether it be pride or anger or lust or jealousy or greed. But we also recognize that acting on these desires and attitudes is sinful, and so we say ‘No’ to them and ‘ Yes ’ to the Lord.  In the same way, some Christians struggle with same-sex attractions , saying ‘No’ to acting on those attractions and ‘Yes’ to following the Lord. That’s their area of temptation and battle. But what about those who say, “God made me gay, and if I’m in a committed relationship, the Lord is pleased. Aft...

Today’s leftist liars understand the harsh reality and know that their “ end justifies the means ” approach toward delegitimizing pro-family conservatives as “hateful” bigots yields big political and cultural dividends — and scares the media away from featuring conservatives in their stories. With QANTAS , Suncorp , Telstra , Apple , Amex, BOQ, BT , and other companies becoming corporate bullies - the bigot campaign appears to have legs. And yet, despicable as the Love is Love or Australian Marriage Equality hate- smear campaign is, it is highly effective. Making the spurious charge against morality-defenders as “haters” is far easier to do in our post-Christian , morally dumbed-down culture than defending oneself against the loaded accusation. Indeed, forcing conservatives and Christians to plead defensively, “I’m not … ” is part of the Love is Love’s propaganda strategy. In such a culture, accusing good-hearted Christians and conservatives of “hating gays” merely becau...

In the New Testament era, should not the ethic of love prevail, allowing for homosexual or gay living? The Revisionist Answer The Bible sets forth the liberating ethic of love or charity as the chief principle of the Christian. Establishing such rules as forbidding homosexual relationships brings Christians under bondage and violates the ethic of love.  If our ethic is love, should not freedom prevail in such questions? Isn’t it a question of respect for the stronger (homosexual) brother (Romans 14–15)? The church should accept into its membership and among its clergy, those who live in committed, homosexual arrangements (marriages). The Biblical Answer Our attempt to obey the second greatest commandment, to love our neighbor as ourselves (Levit. 19:8), cannot violate the first commandment, to love God with our total being (Deut. 6:5–9). A significant way to love God is to “be holy” (Levit. 19:2). Love motivates obedience to God’s commands (John 13:34, 35; 1 John 3...
