So Now We Have 'Gay Theology'?!
First, it was Matthew Vines and his book, God and the Gay Christian. Now, a much more prominent "Christian" "comes out" publicly shouting down anyone who tries to present the truth. Well-known "evangelical" recording artist and social commentator, Vicky Beeching has just revealed that she is "gay." In a recent TV interview on British TV, she appears opposite evangelical attorney Scott Lively who attempts to present God's view on homosexuality. Beeching refused to hear his side, repeatedly interrupting right over the top of Lively's comments. Finally, the moderator “ran out of time.” (Watch video on the WND website: www.wnd.com/2014/08/christian-music-sensation-comes-out-of-closet/)
Lively has written extensively on the subject and recaps the history of the rise of the "gay" steamroller. He notes that, after the 1969 Stonewall riots, homosexual activists focused the movement to take down the opposition of any American institution that opposed them.
One of the first to fall was the American Psychiatric Association that bought the lie that homosexuality was no longer a "disorder," but a normal expression of sexuality. Since that first victory just 40 years ago, every other major opposing group has been conquered, including the Boy Scouts just a year ago.
The only organization left is fundamental, bible-believing churches. Most of the liberal, mainline denominations have caved, assisted by new Bible versions gutted of their truth on the subject.
Vines' book claims that Sodom and Gomorrah was only an incident of gang rape, not "sodomy," and that Leviticus 18 is old, outdated law. (This is the same chapter that forbids: incest, adultery, child sacrifice and bestiality.)
Neither Vines nor Beeching will tolerate questioning their basic assumption that they were born "that way;" that's how God made them. Sadly, many "evangelicals" have bought this lie. Even the pope has come out okay with being homosexual, just don't act on it.
Vines discounts the Old Testament statements, claiming that only recently has it been scientifically "discovered" that there are other "orientations" (genders) than male and female.
Lively is sounding a warning what to expect: “All of their battle-hardened activists and enormous resources are all directed at the church,” he says.
And church leaders have not been preparing for the upcoming attack, often ignorant of the issues. Beeching threw down the challenge in the London interview: “What Jesus taught was a radical message of welcome and inclusion and love. I feel certain God loves me just the way I am, and I have a huge sense of calling to communicate that to young people,” she said. The battleground for this lie is our young people.
But is her god the God of the Bible? When you “feel certain” of something, does it make it true? Devout Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, even Mormons “feel certain” about their gods, but they do not match the God of the Bible.
Her god is the same benevolent old grandfather doting on his precious children who can do no wrong. Sure, the God of the Bible is LOVE, but reject the gracious guidelines for His kingdom and righteous judgment becomes His only alternative. The key biblical concept here is called “affection.” Homosexuals talk about “attraction” and “orientation,” as if they have no control. But in his letter to the Colossians, the Apostle Paul instructs us to “SET your affections on things above, not on things on the earth.” God assumes we have control and requires that we use it.
Solomon’s proverb (4:23) commands: “Keep your heart with all diligence...,” again assuming we are not helpless with our affections locked into an “orientation.”
To counter the imminent attack, the church must first arm itself with God’s preserved words in English, the Authorized King James Bible. Modern versions have compromised His words, giving the enemy ammunition to create doubt in God’s viewpoint. Then we must speak the truth in love (Eph. 4:15) to our young people, guiding them in guarding their hearts and shepherding their affections away from the lie that God created more than two genders.
