Churches that accept societys dogma on marriage and sexuality may think of themselves as affirming, but the global church sees them as apostate. Meanwhile, it is the height of imperialistic narrowness for a rapidly shrinking subset of white churches in the West to lecture the rest of the world including those places where Christianity is exploding in growth or where Christians are being martyred on why they are wrong and how everyone else in Christian history has misread Scripture regarding the meaning of marriage.
The people of Sodom and Gomorrah speak to us from the grave, are we listening?
I’m surprised that the homos aren’t demanding that the bible be re-written to remove all references to Sodom and Gomorrah and verses pertaining to homosexuality being an abomination. Next they will probably say Jesus was gay abd that was the reason he and Peter hung out so much together and why he never got married. Not meant to offend anyone; just stating how far the Left will probably go if they aren’t reigned in.
Tomorrow is a whole new day.
They will allow us to keep the name “Christian” but the Human Rights Campaign will be issuing the legal version of the Bible.
God forbid that the perverts ever get around to publishing a “gay” Bible..but sadly it almost seems bound to happen..given current realities.
So long as the Catholic Church allows homosexuals within its ranks, it will continue to bend to the demands of homosexuals and suffer the consequences. Religious acceptances of homosexual relationships cannot be demanded but they will reach a detente because too many immoral people have shown up on the courts to legitimize homosexual “marriage” and that 1-2% of the population has been given a platform in the media to demand rights to their perversion while the public is caught in between—hard to say no when the church itself is filled with homosexuals. Heck, even when found abusing children, homosexual priests are protected, what’s a little homosexual marriage in comparison?
There will come a time when Christians will be forced to change. The gay militia have already forced their perverseness on society.
They will never stop. Enough will never be enough.
“Christians must change to except sodomy!”
-but what about islam?
“Islam is...oh look, a squirrel”
If it does, the left then will find the next point of resistance, and like gay “marriage”, criminalize that.
There is no amount of appeasing the world or the prince thereof.
They will settle for nothing less than the elimination of Christian values and God’s laws.
> God forbid that the perverts ever get around to publishing a gay Bible..but sadly it almost seems bound to happen..given current realities.
It would be an abomination given the sanctity and history of the bible, the generations handing down the history carefully by word if mouth until writing was invented, the care and guarding of it was taken to preserve it down through the ages by scribes and religious men if great faith whomgave their lives for it, the vetting of the current chapters in it, etc...but none of this matters to a group of people who want to change it so they can have sodomite sex, faux marriage, and still say they’re going to heaven..../s
“For I am the LORD; I change not.”

Reminds me of a line attributed to Groucho Marx. "I would never join a club that would have me as a member."
Two observations:
1. The Church is not a club for the righteous. It is a hopsital for sinners.
2. Homosexuality is not the only sickness that needs healing.
Truly, that is happening. One testimony of that truth:
This book gives a good general history of Christianity in China, with plenty of detail and interviews with current followers of Christ in that nation.
Recommended.
I recently spoke with someone at Ligonier Ministries, a parachurch organization. Their publications are being prepared for distribution in China, along with John MacArthur's study Bible.
South America and Africa are indeed witnessing explosive church growth, too.
The Holy Spirit is still changing hearts.
America, too, needs a revival.
Pray for it.
As they become ever more single focused..so must we!!
an Utterly post modern Bible,,,would not BE a Bible at all.
It’s not “the Church” that’s on the offensive here, as your two observations inherently assume.
That’s falling for the left’s “victory through victimhood” framing.
The left is on the offensive to criminalize Christianity. Surely you realize that.
Homosexuality just happens to be THEIR “club” to be USED ON the righteous.
If not homosexuality, it would be beastiality or child sacrifice - at whatever point Christians resist, that resistance will be criminalized.
If we reject the miracles, how can we possibly believe in the resurrection? What is easier to believe: a lame person cured or a three-day dead man raised to life?
The Queen James Bible has been out for quite some time.
