School refuses to sack homosexual - hides behind religious words

Image
A school that refused to fire a gay teacher as ordered by the Archdiocese of Indianapolis says it has been told by church officials that it will no longer be recognized as Catholic. But school leaders pledged to keep the institution’s religious identification. The archdiocese announced in a statement that it would no longer recognize Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School, because it was not insisting that all employees “be supportive of all teachings of the Catholic Church,” the Catholic News Agency reported. The church is against homosexual activity. A statement by the Rev. Brian G. Paulson, who heads the Midwest Province of Jesuits, said the archdiocese told Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School two years ago not to renew the contract of a teacher whose “marital status does not conform to church doctrine.” He also said the decision, to be formalized in a church decree, would be appealed through a church process and would go as high as the Vatican “if necessary.” Idiot. Leaders of B...

Uniting Church of Australia now apostate - approves homosexual marriage

A message to Uniting Church members about the decision on marriage at the 15th Assembly from Uniting Church in Australia on Vimeo . If one acknowledges that the Bible presents universal claims regarding God, then there is no escaping the universal significance of what the Bible reveals about homosexuality. The essence of the error of homosexuality is pride, and pride is always wrong, for everyone. The Uniting Church has failed to show biblical leadership, and is now in open rebellion against God. NEW LIFE CHURCH QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA - will be fasting for 40 days to determine if they will follow the unbiblical decision from the 15th Assembly of the Uniting Church in Australia. To permit pastor to marry homosexuals is simply a fatally flawed decision. The question remains - why do you need to fast when the leadership of a Church movement clearly violates the Bible? You don't! You break away, from an apostate church movement and you do it fast!  Everybody come...

Rebellion - Guy Fawkes, Fallen Angels, False teachers and Homosexual Marriage

Image
English: The Discovery of the Gunpowder Plot, Laing Art Gallery (Tyne and Wear Museums) (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) On the evening of the 5th of November 1605,  Guy Fawkes  and a band of conspirators were arrested for attempting to blow up the  British Houses of Parliament . It was difficult for Fawkes to deny his intention, for he was found guarding 800kg of gunpowder in the cellar underneath the Parliament buildings, holding a flaming torch! Guy Fawkes was a Catholic whose plan was to kill  King James  1st in order to overthrow the  Protestant  monarchy. He was tortured for days without revealing any information not already known, and then sentenced to be hanged, drawn, and quartered . He cheated the executioner by jumping from the gallows and breaking his own neck, thus avoiding the gruesome execution to follow. Many  Catholics  saw him as a hero, the perfect example of bravery, willing to die for the cause he believed in. Many Pr...

Homosexuality a degrading passion - New Testament Book of Romans

Image
Before Paul can proclaim the good news of redemption in Jesus Christ , he must establish the need of that redemption. So the beginning of the letter that epitomizes the good news begins with two and a half chapters of bad news. These initial chapters of Romans provide an unquestionable demonstration of the sinfulness of man. It is in the context of this necessary presentation of man’s need that we find the key texts that come into play in the debate over homosexuality. But it should be emphasized that these verses do not exist in a vacuum. They cannot be separated out and considered without realizing that they are a part of an entire presentation. And this presentation is one that confirms, beyond question, the essential correctness of the view Christians have held from the beginning: that Paul singles out homosexuality in Romans 1:26–27 as an illustration of the judgment of God upon those who refuse to acknowledge His lordship over their lives. To establish the unquesti...

Mark Achtemeier "Bible says to Gay Marriage" - Unconvincing Revisionist Argument

Image
The title of Mark Achtemeier’s The Bible’s Yes to Same-Sex Marriage: An Evangelical’s Change of Heart leaves no doubt as to his conclusion. Achtemeier, a Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) pastor and theologian, wants to lead his readers toward the same “change of heart” that caused him to embrace same-sex marriage. He writes graciously and gently. But his book will be persuasive only to those who already agree with him. Though he aims to make a biblical and logical case for same-sex marriage, the book fails on both counts. Hollow Definition of Marriage Like many revisionist treatments of this subject , Achtemeier is anxious to get to the proof texts. He wants to show that the seven classic Bible passages used to condemn homosexuality have been misunderstood and misapplied . In his haste to do so, however, he completely misses the most important step of the argument: a coherent definition of marriage. If we’re going to argue about who should be married, we should first establish what mar...
