Former lesbian explains why she signed the Nashville Statement on gender and sexuality
Christian Today ^ | 09/04/2017 | Anugrah Kumar

Speaker and author Rosaria Butterfield, a former lesbian, explained why she signed the Nashville Statement, which was released by a broad coalition of Christian leaders, including J. I. Packer and Francis Chan, articulating God's design for human identity as male and female.

"I stand with biblical orthodoxy, which is inseparable from God's creation mandate and definition of gendered personhood found in Genesis 1:27," Butterfield wrote in an article for the website of The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, as a reason for signing the statement.

"I signed the Nashville Statement because my conscience compels me so, because the promises of liberty on the world's terms are false and deceptive, and because many who currently claim to have Christ's forgiveness and salvation must be called to account for leading good people astray with false promises and filthy lies," she continued.

"I signed the Nashville Statement because the wolves are prowling, and the lions are roaring, and because they are bold and proud of their heresy, and because you must be warned."

Although many try to claim homosexual life style is okay with God the Scriptures says otherwise. If one believes in the Bible then they must adhere to its teachings. Even homosexual activity is condemned by the Quran and the Torah.

Ditto, saw a video of a speech she gave, bought and read her book.

A great testimony.

The old cultural Christianity is dying. Almost by the week we see the Lord making it plain who are His sheep and who are the goats.

You see it clearly. Tragically, most don't.

They're too busy putting up bounce houses for their kiddie's VBS entertainment.

>>who knows what?
 
Well sure -- communication between 1st and 2nd base was an essential element of America's former favorite passtime.
 
But that was before...
 
psy·cho·sis
sīˈkōsəs/
noun
  1. a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality.
"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
 
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
 
The first stage being "demoralization". It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.
 
Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion.  Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science.  Members of parliament, representatives of business circles. 
 
Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups:  those who would tow the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public manipulation;  [and] those who refuse the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated OR executed physically, come Revolution.  "
--KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov
--Soviet Subversion of the Free Press (Ideological subversion, Destabilization, CRISIS - and the KGB)

My disappointment with the Nashville Statement is that having started by saying marriage is "...a covenantal, sexual, procreative, lifelong union between one man and one woman, as husband and wife..." there is not a single word against or condemnation of divorce.

Sure, but this concerns the policies that are forced upon us, not private activity.

What brought your attention to the article?

Converts are almost always the most fervent advocates, no matter the direction or the subject matter.

True; they expose the lie about “born that way” and “it’s natural”...

It's why Jesus converted Saul into the evangelical Paul. Saul started out as one of the greatest persecutors of the Body of Christ, and he ended up becoming Jesus's most powrful advocate.
