In the twenty first century there has been a phenomenal increase of same-sex marriages.  It been legalized in Massachusetts, Iowa, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and DC despite failed attempts to vote it down.  Same-Sex marriage has also been established in the Netherlands (2001), Belgium (2003), Spain (2005), Canada (2005), South Africa (2006), Norway (2009),  and Sweden (2009).  And the battle to legalize same-sex marriage rages on both in the United States and indeed worldwide.
Here are some other developments around the world:
● The judicial system in Nepal has mandated same-sex …

A friend on facebook sent this link to me. The British actor apparently thinks he is doing something significant by ripping out a page in the bible which explicity condemns the homosexual activity he is enslaved to.  It shows how the real problem is not us, but a hatred of God’s word. A story right out of Romans 1. It also makes me wonder what would happen if McKellan would rip pages out of the Koran or desecrate the Torah. And would he publicly brag about that.
In a Q …

Will the Antichrist be a homosexual? One Alaska pastor believes the scriptures reveal  more than we think about the coming evil one.
Says Pastor Harmon of Independent Baptist Church in Wasila in a May 25th op-ed:
In answering this question, it is important to assert the question does not originate with me, lest someone out there think that I am bringing some new doctrine out to bolster the political climate. But as the study of Bible prophecy includes verbiage as to the behavior of the one called “that Wicked” by Paul in …

The fight we help to lead against gay christian doctrine is nothing new to the church. It has, through the centuries since its founding on Calvary by Christ, fought valiantly against many forms of false Christian-oriented doctrines.
As we began taking a closer look at a first century heretical sect called the Nicolatians, there emerges a convincing picture that the doctrine and deeds of the Nicolatians bare a striking resemblance to modern gay church theology. What’s more, the “allies” of the gcm, whom we have cited here such as Bishop Carlton …

As GCM Watch reported earlier here and here, gay christian researcher John Boswell set out to prove that the church was historically “tolerant” to homosexual unions. Liberally using what has been called “strained exegesis”, he formulated a religious fallacy in which he argued those unions were “normal” and comparable to those of the contemporary gay community.  The gay christian movement consequently built on that particular tenet, but contrary to the voices of esteemed early churchmen. Those voices were exceedingly vocal and intolerant of any homosexual activity among self-professed followers of Christ. The record shows …

Yesterday, we explored the life, impact and tragic legacy of gay historian and intellectual John Boswell as well as the impact of his most controversial book Christianity, Social Tolerance and Homosexuality. Today we continue by further exploring Boswell’s impact on gay christianity.
Regardless of the stated purpose for writing the book, it was received by the heretofore voiceless gay christian movement as somewhat of a holy relic. We’ll call it CSTH worship because unlike any of his other books, this one catapulted him into savior status in the eyes of the gay christian movement. …

John Boswell’s life was tragic and short, but his revisioning of homosexuality in the Christian context became the basis of theological argument for much, it not all of, the gay christian movement.
His life was tragic because although he retained an enormous gifting of intellect, he used it to subvert Christian teaching on homosexuality. It was equally tragic because despite his stellar intellect, it did not protect him from contracting AIDS and eventually dying from it in 1994 at age 47.
Many of the arguments for the compatiblity of homosexuality and …

Proponents of gay christianity go through great lengths to present opposition to homosexuality, solely as a product of biblical misinterpretation. But there were other prominent, non-Christian voices in antiquity on record against the act. Voices like that of Psuedo-Lucian, a native of Samosata on the Euphrates, born around 120 A.D. He was the most famous of ancient Satirists, greatly influencing both ancient and modern …
