U.K. GOV'T DEMANDS 'QUEER THEOLOGY' IN SEMINARIES
WND ^ | BOB UNRUH

Posted on 07/21/2017 11:12:59 AM PDT by NYer

The stunning document, released by Wilton Park, an agency of the Foreign Office, also recommends that the Bible be reinterpreted “to make it compatible with LGBTI ideology.”

The Barnabas Fund, an organization that supports persecuted Christians worldwide, was surprised and more than a little worried.

“The recommendations, if implemented, would massively reverse freedom of religion across the globe,” the group said.

“Once it is accepted that any ideology can be imposed on those who hold conscientious disagreement with it, a very significant backward step has been taken both in relation to i) Freedom of Religion or Belief and ii) human rights generally.”

The Christian organization issued its own report stating “the fact that Wilton Park is an executive agency of the U.K. Foreign and Commonwealth Office” is frightening.

“As such, unless disowned by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the publication of these recommendations by Wilton Park are in effect state sponsored advocacy of imposing serious restrictions on freedom of religion around the world.”

“Outlasting the Gay Revolution” spells out eight principles to help Americans with conservative moral values counter attacks on our freedoms of religion, speech and conscience by homosexual activists

“Understanding of key religious texts which appear to perpetuate discrimination should be improved by using well reputed scholarly texts to challenge accepted versions eg the story of Sodom and Gomorrah from Genesis Chapter 19. A good example of a thoughtful scholarly based discussion of this story is ‘Breaking Open: Sodom and Gomorrah’ a 2016 booklet by Soulforce Inc.”

Soulforce is an advocacy organization for homosexuals. Genesis 19 describes how God destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah because of their tolerance of homosexuality.

Catholic ping!

Sir Thomas More was martyred for telling that wacky Henry VIII that he would not go against Catholic teaching on marriage and divorce.

Henry VIII would not take More’s advice. Now you have his state run religion and this.

The appropriate response is the logical response. No one knows what is the origin of homosexual tendency. Condemnation of the tendency is not called for. Acceptance of the act, approval of homosexual relationships is not caped for

The advocates for indoctrination never give up. This reminds me of what Adolph Hitler did in WWII where he commissioned a group to totally rewrite the Bible to change the narrative.

Its all only going to get worse, and maybe Dreher is right and the only hope for Orthodox Christians is the “Benedict Option”.

No one knows what is the origin of homosexual tendency.

That is not correct.

From Romans 1:

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another.

And to think I just left an otherwise very nice “church” because it started teaching that homo sex is “ok. “. What’s happening to USA, U.K.?

Homosexual tendency is not the same as homosexual acts

Get over it

No different from sex outside of marriage which includes the use of birth control within a marriage

Getting to heaven is not a mob thing. Cultural acceptance of evil doesn’t behavior make the behavior moral

Cuck. Go on the offensive: “Be not overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good.”

Ok I give up. What does the “I” stand for in LGBTI? Do I even want to know?

I’ve lost track with all these new acronyms....
