Gay Friendly Christians
Christianity Today Doesn't Want to Ban Gay Marriage!
by David J. Stewart | October 2005 | Updated October 2014
The “gay” agenda is without a doubt one of the hottest (if not the
hottest) issue facing Americans today. Never before in American
history have so many homosexuals been so prevalent in society. A
recent study in 2011 showed that an estimated 9,000,000 Americans are
“sodomites” (the Biblical name for a homosexual). Never
before in American history have so many homosexuals been in positions of
power. Whereas homosexuality was once illegal and shunned as a
disgrace in society, today it is readily accepted as an “alternative
lifestyle” and a “right.”
There is debate amongst statistics researchers over whether crime is increasing or decreasing in the United States. The truth is that crime is increasing, depending on what you define as crime. Crime Is Getting Worse: Violent Crime In America Increased 15% in 2012 (people are desperate, even stealing food trucks). Certainly, abortion is cold-blooded murder in God's eyes, despite what our nation's Godless U.S. Supreme Court may say. Certainly, feminism is the horrible crime of rebellion in God's eyes, and God will hold every disobedient wife accountable in eternity. Furthermore, homosexuality is a vile sin, just as is adultery and fornication. Long before homosexuality and lesbianism were mainstream problems in America, sexual immorality flourished in our sinful culture. Before the hippie movement of the 1960's, there was the 50's Rock 'N' Roll, completely sexual in nature. War was the best thing that happened to our nation in the 1940's, when people were compelled to attend church to find comfort during those difficult times. America has been spoiled by postwar prosperity. Americans have forsaken God, and our churches are quickly dipping-their-sails in sinful compromise, going-along-to-get-along with the sinful agendas of our time. Satan is corrupting the Bibles, castrating their masculinity to satisfy the satanic gender-inclusive agenda of this sick lesbian and feminist generation. John Wesley said, “What one generation tolerates, the next generation will embrace!” There is a satanic agenda to corrupt the churches, compelling them to tolerate the homosexual community, so that the next generation will embrace them in sinful compromise and apostasy, forsaking the Holy God of the Bible and His Holy Word in the King James Bible. Whereas psychologists and psychiatrists were once trained to deal with homosexuality as a “problem,” today they are instead required to help homosexuals accept who they are. Whereas the Word of God condemns homosexuality as a vile SIN which brings the judgment of God (Romans 1:24-32), society today is increasingly embracing homosexuality as a normal and acceptable way of life. This is just another indicator of the apostate times we are living in. Lesbian and sodomite judges are already persecuting the churches, and it will only get MUCH WORSE in America! God's judgment is upon our nation, by giving us enough rope to hang ourselves!
We are Living in Some Very Dark Times! Very few people realize just how far Americans have sunk into the abyss of evil. As a nation we have allowed the murder of over 55,000,000 little babies through torturous abortion. As a nation we sat back and watched Terri Schiavo being tortured to death through dehydration and starvation. As a nation we have allowed our reckless government to murder over 1,455,000 innocent Iraqis in a bloodbath based upon the lies of a corrupt and evil White House administration. As a nation we have allowed drunken drivers to continue killing millions of innocent people, yet have failed to do anything about it (like outlawing the public promotion and sale of alcohol). As a nation we have allowed homosexuality to flourish to the point where Christians are now being arrested for speaking out against homosexuality. Unfortunately, there are not enough Christians obeying the Scriptures by speaking out against homosexuality (Psalm 94:16). Thus, homosexuals WILL get their rights and sin-fighting Christians WILL be persecuted. Halliburton is presently building concentration camps in the U.S.! You can be guaranteed it will be the protesters, patriots, Constitutionalists and Christians who are put into them!!! We will all be wrongly convicted as “domestic terrorists.” Are you aware of the recently created term “Christian Terrorism”? According to Wikipedia.com:
But isn't it interesting in light of all the Alabama churches burned to the ground in 2006, that no mention was ever made of “terrorists” setting the fires? So if you block an abortion clinic, you're a terrorist; but if you burn a church to the ground, then you're just an arsonist. The Ku Klux Klan has become synonymous with hatred for homosexuals. The Klan is purposely and falsely labeled as “Christian” to associate Bible-believing Christians with the group. The truth is that the KKK is a Satanic organization founded by Albert Pike, Leader of the Freemason Luciferian-worshipping lodge. You can expect that government authorities in the near future will be labeling ALL TRUE Christians as terrorist criminals. This will be easy to do simply by comparing
them to professed pseudo-Christian groups such as the KKK. In fact,
Wikipedia gives
a listing of “Christian terrorist” groups on their website. The
term “Christian terrorism” is frightening indeed. You can also
expect that preaching against homosexuality in public WILL become
punishable as hate-crime. The next Democrat to take office WILL
pass similar legislation here in America. There are already laws on
the books in Canada that prohibit preachers from using the Bible to
criticize homosexuals. Christians who preach the
Word of God WILL go into detention camps. In the near future they will be
tortured and executed, as now in Nigeria, North Korea, Sudan and other
devil-controlled nations. Christianity Today and Gay Marriage Satan is infiltrating the churches through today's apostate evangelical televangelists, like Billy Graham, who boasts that he has many homosexual friends. Rick Warren also befriends gays, having said publicly that he won't expose them. There was a recent article published in Christianity Today magazine by Chad W. Thompson. The article is titled "Banning Gay Marriage is Not the Answer." Mr. Thompson stresses that Christians are often quick to condemn homosexuality, but fail to reach out in love to the gay community. Although Thompson's words are eloquent and his motives seemingly good, it just doesn't work that way. I've met enough homosexual people in my life to know that they are generally hostile towards God, the Bible, and Christians. Why? Simply because God has clearly stated in His Word that homosexuality is an abominable sin (Leviticus 20:13). Homosexuals have every reason to hate the Bible and anyone who preaches the Bible's message against homosexuality. Jesus didn't condemn people, the Word of God does that. However, Jesus did preach the Bible. In John chapter four we find Jesus speaking with a Samaritan woman. Half way through the conversation He informs her that she is an adulterer (John 4:18). Now that wasn't a very nice thing to do (was it Mr. Thompson?). The Bible is God's Word and has already condemned ALL humanity. Jesus didn't come into the world to condemn anyone simply because the Word of God had already condemned them (John 3:17,36). Jesus came to this world offering a solution to man's sin debt. Jesus paid the price for our sins with His very own blood. Yet, Jesus needed to point out to people the FACT that they are sinners. You can't get saved if you don't come to the realization that you are a sinner. If you're not a sinner, then you wouldn't need a Savior. The truth is that Jesus always preached the truth in love, but you need to have BOTH Mr. Thompson's approach is to reach out to homosexuals in love, but without the truth (or by watering down the truth). It's amazing how so many people are quick to focus on Jesus' love for sinners, but always seem to miss those little phrases like in John 5:14... GO AND SIN NO MORE... LEST A WORSE THING COME UNTO THEE. Jesus didn't avoid the sin issue, we can clearly see that in John 2:15..."And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables." Mr. Thompson's approach would have been for Jesus to quietly walk into the temple and get to know the greedy people first. The truth is intolerant Mr. Thompson. 1 + 1 will always equal 2. You can try to say that 1 + 1 = 3 if you'd like, but it will never be the truth. Homosexuality is a sin, and the homosexual community will NEVER listen to our message of love (anymore than they'll listen to our message of judgment), just so long as we continue to refuse to accept their sinful lifestyle. We must preach the message of sin. The law of God is against all flesh. We are all sinners in need of salvation. Thank God, I found the Lord Jesus Christ as a teenager and trusted upon Christ to forgive my sins and save me. Homosexuals can be forgiven and saved. God doesn't hate anyone, and neither do I. God loves homosexuals; but hates the sin of homosexuality! Here is one of Clad Thomson's recommendations for "reaching out" to the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered) community...
Is this what Christianity has come to in America... passing out pizza at gay parades? What does the Bible say about "building relationships" with the ungodly...
Is that the approach that the Apostle Paul took? Lets take a look at Acts 20:20,21 to find out...
Our message needs to be one of repentance from unbelief towards God, of turning in faith to the Saviour for the forgiveness of SINS. The whole purpose of the atoning work of Christ was to save us from our SINS. The sin issue MUST be addressed. Too many believers are trying desperately to break away from the "SIN" issue when trying to reach people for God. The mention of "sin" does offend people, often greatly. Howbeit, we must not stop preaching that Bible's message that we are all sinners deserving of hell (Romans 3:10,23; Revelation 20:15). It is the Gospel of Jesus Christ that saves a person...
America Has Gone Apostate! The way to reach lost sinners is with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Gospel is the "power" of God that brings salvation. If a person won't listen to the plain and simply Gospel of Jesus Christ, then they don't want to get saved. I agree with Mr. Thompson that we need to get out amongst the lost sinners we are trying to reach, but we mustn't trim our message for the sake of being accepted. I am so frustrated by Christian people who dip their sails (what they really believe) in an attempt to reach others for God. The homosexuals don't try to hide who and what they are, neither should we. I am a born again Christian. I am against all forms of sin (as every Christian should be). I am against homosexuality, bisexuality, fornication, adultery, immorality, et cetera. I make no apologies for the truth. I make no apologies for what I believe. If I have to hide my true beliefs and dip my sails to reach someone for God, then I am trying to reach them under false pretenses. This weak-kneed Christian generation that we live in is trying to kowtow with the wicked to reach them for God. The results are tragic. The whole concept of "Christian rock" is based upon this faulty reasoning. There is no such thing as "Christian rock." The FACT is that all rock music is straight from the pits of hell, there ain't nothing "Christian" about it. America has become so apostate that lesbians and homosexuals are now pastoring churches and working in the ministry (Satan's ministry). Should it be surprising that Christianity Today doesn't want to ban gay marriages? Not at all, they're going downhill fast. In fact, they also endorse Harry Potter's witchcraft. We're supposed to be standing firmly against the wickedness of our day, not rubbing shoulders with the wicked in an attempt not to offend them... let them be offended! The truth usually offends people. God is wearied with this truthless generation of believers. Gay marriages should be banned! I don't even have to give you Scripture verses to tell you why gay marriages are so wrong. How can a child properly develop their own sexual identity when they are missing a mother or father? A boy growing up with two mothers is going to be very confused. He needs a father. This is common sense folks, not rocket science. The Word of God is clear on this matter, God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. I sincerely believe that Chad Thompson's article at Christianity Today is sincere, but gay marriage should be banned. I agree that Christians need to reach out to homosexuals with God's love, but reaching out MUST be done in TRUTH, not compromise. At the end of Mr. Thompson's article, he says...
Mr. Thompson's article is no doubt a big hit with the homosexual community because it permits gay marriages. So following Mr. Thompson's faulty reasoning, we should permit other forms of sin as well in an attempt to "win the hearts" of the wicked. Thus, we shouldn't speak out against the adulterous and murderous movies spewing out of Hollywood (Hollyweird), rather we should pass out pizza and try to win their cold and stubborn hearts to God. They will laugh in our faces and spit on us. The way to reach the wicked is with the power of God, the Gospel (Romans 1:16). 1st Corinthians 1:17 declares... "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect." It's the simple Gospel that brings a person to God.
Please don't misunderstand me. We read in Jude 1:22 that compassion is the only way to reach some people for God. Whereas the letter of the law killeth, it is the Spirit of God that giveth life. I am not saying that we shouldn't do everything possible to express God's love to lost sinners. I am not saying that we should be unkind or rude. I am not saying that we shouldn't love people. I AM saying that the wicked and the righteous will never coexist in harmony... "An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked" (Proverb 29:27). A person who is a homosexual has already sunk to the bottom of the ladder of sin (Romans 1:24,26). Yes, God still loves them, wants to save them, and cares about them; but most of them are set in their wicked ways (which is why God gave them up in the first place). In other words, Christians are wasting their time trying to kowtow with homosexuals...they are not going to get saved just because we are cooperative with them. Again, I'm not saying that we should be unkind, not at all. I am not saying that we shouldn't try to reach homosexuals for God. I AM simply saying that we shouldn't condone any of their wickedness in an attempt to win their hearts. Gay marriages SHOULD be banned. If that offends gays to the point where they'll refuse to get saved, then that is their problem. We are commanded by God to preach the truth, never compromisingly for any reason whatsoever. I'm just saying that we shouldn't back down from the direct truth that HOMOSEXUALITY IS A SIN.
Someone whom I greatly admire, Michael Marcavage (www.repentamerica.com), recently went to a Phillies ball game. At the game (with park permission), he displayed a large banner throughout the game which read "Homosexuality is a sin, Christ can set you free." Now that's the way we should preach the truth. Everyone at that ballgame was presented with the issue of SIN, and the solution which is in the SON, Jesus Christ. In my opinion, Mr. Thompson's article is nothing less than a carnal Christian's endorsement of gay-marriage. Banning gay marriages IS the answer for millions-upon-millions of little children who are going to grow up missing a father or a mother. What are the "Christians" at Christianity Today thinking? It's bad enough that homosexuals are coming out of their closets left and right, it even worse that most of America's Christians are hiding in their own closets. Come out! Come out! Come out of your closet oh Christian! Come out! Cry aloud against the SIN of homosexuality. If you are a homosexual, God loves you and so do I. I did not write this article to slander or degrade homosexuals, but rather to remind Christian believers that there is NO middle ground on this issue. Homosexuality is a sin and must never be accepted by Bible believing Christians. To do so is apostasy. Jesus may have been a friend of sinners, but He certainly did not condone or partake of their their sins. Gay-marriage must be banned. Too many Christians are becoming "gay friendly" (meaning that they don't hate homosexuality and are increasingly becoming acceptant of homosexuality in society). Notice that I said hate "homosexuality," NOT homosexuals. We are to love everyone, but love does not mean that we should stop hating sin. Our love for God and the Word of God MUST come first. As true believers, we must stand uncompromisingly against the works of darkness, against the works of Satan, against gay marriages. Kindest regards, David J. Stewart END Dr. James Dobson of Focus On The Family endorses Gay-Marriage Right's Bill I do NOT hate anyone, I simply hate what God hates... EVIL. If the shoe fits, wear it. If something on this website offends you, then so be it. I do not say this to be unkind, but because you need to know the truth! America is going to Hell because of sin. We are losing our nation! We are losing our liberty and freedoms! We are losing our manufacturing jobs in America! We are losing our rights to privacy! Do you think this is a coincidence? To the same degree that the American people continue to walk into the dark depths of wickedness, to that same degree America is headed for imminent destruction! Woe unto America, for we truly have become The Great Satan!
