One can scarcely hear a traditionalist/conservative criticism of modern times, especially when the subject is homosexuality, without hearing about how dire the situation is for the institution of the family. On and on, they opine about how there’s a concerted effort within the pro-gay community to destroy the family. They bolster their case by quoting [...]
I discovered the article that will be the subject of this rebuttal through a Facebook friend’s post. It never ceases to amaze me how absolutely certain the non-affirming community is on this issue. Their beliefs reek of a lack of biblical study, or at best, an utter failure to study objectively; yet they present their [...]
I’m sitting here watching Gods and Generals, a prequel to the movie, Gettysburg. It’s amazing to me how much the struggle during those days kept reminding me of today’s struggle for gay rights. Southerners so often used the Bible to draw strength and justification for their cause, despite Scripture’s clear and unambiguous teaching of principles [...]
“I know!” Who in creation hasn’t heard and said this simple sentence? Knowing seems inherent to human nature. We discover something new, we learn it, and then we know it. Whether concepts, objects, processes, places, or people, we find comfort in knowing them. In life, we can know a thing, yet still keep ourselves open [...]
From the most conservative to the most liberal, Christians are huge on talking about love. From the pulpits to the small groups, it’s probably the single most often used word in all of Christendom… and for good reason. Love is, in fact, the single word that’s supposed to characterize—better yet, define—the Christian faith. But, for [...]
I’m not a fan of PayPal. In fact, I rather hate the service. Okay, maybe “hate” is a strong word. But, they have a history of suspending people’s accounts for no legitimate reason. Check out PayPal Sucks for people’s horror stories. But this time, it worked in our favor. Apparently, they’ve suspended a few anti-gay, [...]
The latest article to come to my attention was posted by a gentleman by the name of Denny Burk. It’s not very theological in its content; however, the specific subject matter deals with a main article here on the website, titled “Gay Christians?” (located in the navigation menu). So, I thought it appropriate to offer [...]
The vast majority of Christians have no idea what truth really is, but this doesn’t have to be you. Learn what truth is, and how to discover it for yourself! (Hint: It’s NOT what you read in your Bible!)
Allegiance
Sep 6
When one thinks of allegiance in a religious context, thoughts generally run to the question of what higher power or transcendent belief system a person subscribes to. For example, some might consider themselves allegiant to Buddhist philosophy, or to Christianity, or they may consider themselves allegiant to a person, e.g. to Jesus Christ, Mohammad, or [...]
What If I’m Wrong?

There are ultimately two fundamental positions regarding homosexuality: 1) that it is contrary to God’s purpose and law, and is, therefore, sinful, and 2) that it is in keeping with His purpose and is the moral equivalent of heterosexuality. These two points of view are diametrically opposed to one another. There is no reconciliation. There [...]
