Next step–church gets bulldozed for refusing to obey homosexuals
Should the government have the power to tell the church what to teach and what not to teach?
Hell, yeah. And that’s just what the “human rights” industry in Australia intends to do . (I had to remove the link as it no longer worked. PD)
In fairness it must be pointed out that some members of the government say this is going way, way too far and that the Tasmania Anti-Discrimination Law must be amended to keep far-out wackiness like this from happening.
You see, a single man who insists he is a woman–he’s also a Green Party candidate for Parliament, surprise, surprise–says church teaching offends him, so it must be changed. His target is the Roman Catholic Church, which earlier this year issued a pastoral letter entitled “Don’t Mess With Marriage.”
The church’s teachings on marriage, an institution ordained by God Himself, have remained the same for thousands of years.
Now they are to be changed because some lost soul demands it.
Here in America many individuals have been ruined, destroyed, not because of anything they did, but because they didn’t take part in a same-sex “wedding.”
Organized Sodomy has become powerful enough to do that. And it seeks more power still.
So far in Australia, attempts to rein in the “human rights” gang have been defeated by a coalition of left-wing members of Parliament, surprise, surprise.
Believe this: The secular tribe will never rest until the Christian religion is destroyed. That is their goal. They wish to remove Christianity as the biggest obstacle between them and total domination of the human race. Their pushes for “gay rights” and transgender nonsense are only tactics.
Had enough yet, folks? There’s more coming.
This is a judgment from God, but we have not yet learned to recognize it as such; and we are very, very far from the repentance that will save us.
Thank you for the news update, Mr. Duigon!
More reporting on the fascism of the LGBT political bunch. This is going to happen all over the globe in every Christian practicing country. Eliminating Christianity is the goal of the militant LGBT activist
i can’t believe God means to let them win.
We, as Christians, know God wins. But that hasn’t stopped Satan from trying. An article from Reuters, Dec. 17, reported that a Boston-area Roman Catholic girls’ high school violated a gay man’s rights by revoking a job offer when they learned he was married to another man. So, it’s discrimination when gays are involved, but forcing a Christian to abandon their values isn’t? Upside down world. Satan is on a rampage because he knows his time is nearly up. Come, Lord Jesus!
Boston is the very heart of darkness.
BTW, there is already a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling–yes, I said 9-0–upholding any church’s right to hire or not to hire personnel for the church school, because such personnel function as ministers of the church. Nine to nothing! They couldn’t even get Ginsburg to agree that the government should be able to tell the church who can be a teacher in its school.
So why are they even bothering? I guess because “gays” now feel they can demand and get any damned thing they want.
And the current landscape would indicate they can and do. They even went so far as to usurp a perfectly good word that once meant to be happy.
Not to mention God’s covenant sign.
More true in 2018 than even in 2015 and not just a problem in Australia…
Ultimately, I see this as the Achilles’ Heel of organized religion. If I adhere to a strictly Biblical viewpoint, I have a lot of latitude as to how I express this. I can avoid things that the Bible tells me to avoid, but not feel the need to confront people whom choose to act differently. In fact, the Bible instructs us to have respect for others, even when they believe differently. 1 Peter 3:15: “but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect”. I am not biblically obligated to protest against the choices and actions of others, even if these are unbiblical in nature.
Some years back, I had a Muslim coworker. When I was hired, he was somewhat concerned as to how I would treat him, and he and I had a discussion regarding these matters. He felt that he was worshipping the God of Abraham and I left it at that, encouraging him to always seek to worship the God of Abraham. Within his social and religious circle, he has little freedom of operation; changing beliefs is very difficult under such circumstances, but if he sincerely wants to worship the Creator, tne God of Abraham, there is no doubt in my mind that he will do the right thing, if his circumstances change.
How do I know this? Well, I see it happening all around me. Persons stuck in certain restrictive denominations are weighing the beliefs of these denominations agains what they can directly learn from scripture, and making their choices accordingly; according to the Bible. One of the most dramatic examples of recent memory was an Amish couple, who broke free of their church, with significant social consequence, but were determined to adhere to scripture, and not the traditions of humans. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this sort of thing becoming more and more common, over time.
You can’t go wrong following Scripture. A lot of the later man made trappings are not necessary.
Completely. I’ve recently investigated some certain sects (no names will be mentioned) and concluded that many of these religious organizations operate much the same. The nouns may differ, even the adjectives, but the verbs tend to be similar. In other words, come up with a story to explain one’s theological outlook, and then use it to control adherents, even if it causes harm to these adherents.
What is common? Collection! They collect money, they collect information which they use to intimidate believers, and they collect ever more power, over their adherents.
Likewise, retribution is something commonly held by many religions. If you list the sins prohibited in most religions, unsurprisingly, not practicing blind adherence to the manmade rules of the religious organization becomes the prime sin, of all sins. Obey the human leadership, and they will turn a blind eye to sins taught from the Bible. Question the legitimacy of the church leadership, and there will be trouble.
Those who have power over others do not relinquish it easily.
