GAY TRUTH

Book of Genesis, Fall of Man. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) "The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." ( Genesis 2:18, NASB ). Mr. Vines says, "In Genesis 2:18, God says, 'It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.' And yes, the suitable helper or partner that God makes for Adam is Eve, a woman. And a woman is a suitable partner for the vast majority of men--for straight men. But for gay men , that isn’t the case. For them, a woman is not a suitable partner. And in all of the ways that a woman is a suitable partner for straight men—for gay men, it’s another gay man who is a suitable partner. And the same is true for lesbian women. For them, it is another lesbian woman who is a suitable partner." Adam's sexual orientation is never an issue in the text, but Mr. Vines inserts his orientation so as to dismiss the obvious teaching about the male and fema...

English: Gender symbols, sexual orientation: heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality. Česky: (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Matthew Vines is a young homosexual who, on March 8, 2012, spoke at College Hill United Methodist Church in Kansas in defense of biblical support for homosexuality.  He taught from scripture in a church.  His Youtube video of the event has, as of June 2012, received over 500,000 views.  On his website at http://matthewvines.tumblr.com is a complete transcript of that speech (9,876 words or about 21, 8.5" x 11" pages).  I emailed Mr. Vines asking for permission to reprint it and interject comments into it for an article here on CARM .  As far as I know, I received no reply.  Therefore, I've written articles in response to his arguments where I have quoted him and addressed his basic assertions. Please understand I have no ill will towards Mr. Vines.  I am sure he's a nice guy.  I am not homophobic--nor a bigot....

English: No Homophobia logo (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Generally speaking, Christians are not homophobic. They're not afraid of homosexuals (though some might be).  It is just that true Christians consider homosexuality a  sin . Think about it this way--Christians would consider theft a sin but are not "cleptophobic." Just because we believe something is wrong, doesn't mean we are phobic anymore than someone saying Christianity is wrong makes them christophobic . You see, Christians are not into "correct-speech" and "correct-thought" advocated by the dystopian intelligensia.  Just because lots of people think homosexuality is right, doesn't make it right.  Moral truth isn't determined by the majority opinion or what year it is.  Saying "Most believe it is okay, therefore, it is okay," or "But this is the 21st century!  Homosexuality is just another lifestyle" doesn't mean it is okay. Nevertheless, to more...

English: Gender symbols, sexual orientation: heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality. Česky: (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) People talk about  homosexuality  in terms of sexual orientation -- you know, the "way they are oriented regarding sex."  That got me thinking.  What do you do with those who have a different "truth orientation"? -- you know, the "way they are oriented regarding truth."  I think that the homosexual proponents should be consistent and advocate civil rights to those who have a different truth orientation; that is, they should support the legal protection of liars. Is this ridiculous?  If so, why?  Both sexual orientation and truth orientation are "natural" to the person, aren't they?  Both sexual orientation and truth orientation are behaviors , right?  Shouldn't both groups of people be free to love whom they want and lie to whom they want?  Shouldn't both be free to express their...

Español: Intercambio de anillos entre los novios (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Agenda, the homosexuals want acceptability, recognition, and approval. Homosexuals want others in society to think like them (and behave like them?).  They are working hard to change moral, social, and political opinion to be more in line with what they want.  They are not content to be what they want to be.  They want others to accept them.  They want others' opinions to change and conform to their ideology and behavior.  What gives them the right to try to change society into what they want it to be? Animal kingdom:  Homosexuality occurs in the animal world; therefore, it is natural. Saying that homosexuality is natural because it occurs in the animal kingdom does not mean it is morally correct.  Animals also eat each other alive, devour offspring, etc.  Should we imitate those things as well because the animals do it?  Of course not. From an evolutio...

English: Gender symbols, sexual orientation: heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality. Česky: (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Does the lifestyle of homosexuality benefit society ?  Now, I'm not talking about how homosexuals can attain their sexual jollies and make themselves feel good. I'm talking about the benefits to society as a whole.  How would the proponents of homosexuality answer the question? Well, to find out. I asked this question on the CARM forums and received many interesting replies. I cited several of them and provided responses. 1.  "Why does homosexuality have to benefit society? How does red hair benefit society? Or white skin?" Homosexuality is a lifestyle, a behavior. Lifestyles and behaviors can have beneficial or harmful effects on one's self and others. We know this is true because the homosexual community has a high degree of diseases such as AIDS which affects their own health and even the help of others, i.e., contaminated t...

In the attempt to defend permitting homosexuals to marry (i.e., man to man and woman to woman), proponents of homosexual marriage ask how such marriages would personally affect those who are opposed to it.  This is worth answering, and I believe there are two areas we need to look at in response. Philosophical Concerns How does a murder in another state between two people living in a trailer park in the middle of nowhere, among people whom we have never known and who don't know anyone we know, affect us personally?  It doesn't, but because it has no effect on us personally this doesn't mean that we should ignore the moral issues associated with  murder  and not condemn such actions.  Murder is morally wrong , and when any moral law is broken we are all ultimately affected and we know that if such actions were to increase, society would be affected...no matter where you are. Am I comparing homosexual marriage to murder and saying they are related or ...
