Is Lewis Hamilton under a rainbow curse?

Lewis Hamilton's LGBT Rainbow Helmet

(Stop Press: The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Italy on Sunday 21st May 2023 which we refer to in the video was cancelled owing to extensive rainfall and flooding which has to date tragically taken 14 lives. Please pray for those caught up in it all.  The next F1 Grand Prix took place on Sunday 28th May 2023 in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Lewis came fourth. )

Sir Lewis Hamilton used the occasion of last weekend’s 2023 Miami Grand Prix to blunder into the Florida sex education debate. So let’s look at that debate, at Lewis’s descent into wokeness and how since he went on that path his racing career appears to have stalled. Watch our video (you are reading the transcript):

According to the BBC: ‘Florida governor Ron DeSantis is set to widen a law barring public schools from teaching about sexual orientation and gender identity to all grades.’

The law is officially titled the ‘Parental Rights in Education Act’. It was passed in 2022 and currently applies to public, or state, schools from kindergarten, only up to ‘third grade’, which is 8-9 year-olds.

Extension of the law

In April 2023, the Florida Board of Education approved an extension of the ban to all grades, primary and secondary.

Mr DeSantis and other Republicans who support the law, and the extension, say it shields children from inappropriate content that does not belong in schools. They argue that parents, not teachers, should be holding discussions on topics like sexual orientation and gender identity with their children. The Bible supports them. In the Old Testament, in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter six, the Lord tells his people this about his laws:

Deut 6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Bring up your children in the Lord

And of course the New Testament agrees. We read in the Gospel of Luke, chapter two and verse fifty-one that the Lord Jesus was subject to his mother and father, while the Apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesians also in chapter six:

Eph 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Parents, the Bible tells us, are responsible for their children’s education, not teachers, not sex educators, not LGBTQ+, or whatever the latest version is, activists.

Florida Commissioner of Education Manny Diaz Jr said in a tweet: ‘Students should be spending their time in school learning core academic subjects, not being force-fed radical gender and sexual ideology.’

As expected, Democratic President Joe Biden has called the law ‘hateful.’ Gay and Trans activists in the State and indeed across the US are also furious.

Rainbow Flag on his helmet

And into the shallow mud of opposition has now waded our own national treasure Sir Lewis Hamilton to campaign for homosexuals and trans activists against parents and decency.

‘It’s not good. At all,’ said our Lewis. ‘I stand by the LGBTQ community here and hope they continue to push back.’

Push back against parental rights and responsibilities, eh? Mr Hamilton said he would race in Miami with a rainbow flag in support of LGBTQ rights on his helmet.

‘It is no different to when we were in Saudi,’ the Mercedes driver added. ‘It is not the right direction and not the right message.’

Oh dear, Lewis, in two places in the book of Proverbs we read:

Prov 14:12 (c/f 16:25) There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

‘I am here and hoping that just by showing up with my helmet I will be continuing to support the LGBT community and showing I stand with them in solidarity. I hope they continue to fight against it,’ he went on

Oh, Lewis. ‘Showing up’ with his rainbow helmet. It was, no doubt, the least he could do. But seriously, with his words and his helmet Lewis is trying to change opinion. He is interfering in another nation’s internal affairs. just as we see Western governments and foundations and sportsmen like the gay Tom Daley doing all over the world. And of course there is a spiritual dimension to Lewis’s intervention, coming inevitably from his secularist worship of a false woke god. The Lord’s Prophet Jeremiah said:

Jer 23:26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

Sex Education is ‘Vital’

Sir Lewis went on: ‘My sympathy and thoughts are with the people here in Miami. It’s not them making the decisions, it’s the people in government and that’s the issue.’

Really? Only last year Ron DeSantis beat his Democratic challenger Charlie Crist by over 19 percentage points. The Florida Governor specifically campaigned on the culture war and against the ‘woke’ values of Sir Lewis Hamilton and his celebrity friends.

You know, we are constantly told by the education establishment here in the UK that sex education is always age-appropriate, that it is essential to help children understand the modern world and that parents have nothing to worry about.

But now Lewis has given the game away. Sex Education is actually designed to promote homosexuality and transgenderism to children. It is apparently an essential plank in the armoury of gay and trans activists. It is, in the words of our own Director of Ofsted Amanda Spielman, ‘vital’ for children to hear the gay and trans ideology in Relationships and Sex Education. ‘Vital’, that is, for the woke cause. And it seems it is ‘vital’ for them world-wide.

That explains Plan International and the ‘gender-queer’ Comprehensive Sexuality Education toolkit that that Western-funded NGO tried to sneak into Rwanda.

See our article HERE →

It explains concerned parents being excluded from school board meetings across the United States. But there is a judgment coming. The Bible says:

Eccl 5:8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.

Seven World Titles

Back in the previous decade, it seemed as if the Lewis Hamilton / Mercedes partnership was unstoppable in Formula One. He won his first world championship in 2008 with McLaren.

He joined Mercedes in 2013, winning his second championship the following year. He won again in 2015.

Lewis lost the 2016 title to his team-mate Nico Rosberg, but went on to win four in a row from 2017 to 2020. Seven world titles equalled the record of Michael Schumacher. In our house, we cheered and prayed for the fresh-faced boy from Stevenage all the way.

But something changed during 2020. On 25th May, George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, was murdered while being arrested in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by Derek Chauvin, a 44-year-old US police officer. The fact that the policeman was white gave ammunition to a Marxist-feminist bunch called ‘Black Lives Matter’, led by three fiercely anti-family, anti-capitalist lesbians. I say, ‘anti-capitalist’ but they certainly prospered from the death of the Mr Floyd. Derek Chauvin has since been convicted.

Going ‘woke’

In the wake of the murder, Lewis demanded his Mercedes be painted black and he started doing the knee business to show his support for the wealthy anti-family Marxists. Then in 2021 he switched his attention to homosexuality. He commissioned what Pink News described as ‘his intersex-inclusive Progress Pride flag helmet’ for the inaugural Grand Prix in Qatar, which he won. Why those born with the unfortunate intersex condition are dragged in, I have no idea, except for shameless political reasons, of course. The inaugural Saudi Arabia Grand Prix followed and Lewis won that too, also in his rainbow helmet.

Then followed the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Lewis turned up in his woke helmet for the third time in solidarity with homosexuality. Sodomy is illegal in all three countries. I suppose refusing to take part was not an option for a man with an eye on an eighth world title.

But look, here are three Muslim countries following the laws of God, which say, in Leviticus chapter twenty:

Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

You might object to that penalty, but in the UK there is no penalty at all for sodomy. Instead, it is promoted to 4-year-olds in school.

Bringing shame on the UK

Lewis was only calling attention to our national sin, bringing shame in Muslim eyes on the constitutional Christian country he represents. Moreover, his pro-gay virtue, or vice-signalling provides an additional reason to persecute individual Christians in that part of the world.

Anyway, the Abu Dhabi race was held on 12th December 2021. Coming into the race, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton each had 369.5 points. Lewis needed to win. He made a good start and led for most of the race. He appeared on course to win what would have been a record eighth World Drivers’ Championship. But as Jonny Cash sang, ‘You can run on for a long time, sooner or later God’ll cut you down.’ Or as the Bible says:

Prov 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

On lap 53 of the 58-lap race Nicholas Latifi crashed his Williams and out came the safety car. Max Verstappen went into the pits for a change of tyres. Lewis stayed out. A controversial and erroneous safety car restart made it a one-lap race. Lewis, with his old tyres, was a sitting duck for the Dutchman, who overtook the Mercedes driver in the last moments of the race, clinching the championship.

Three days later, on 15th December 2021, Lewis Hamilton was knighted by the then Prince of Wales for services to motorsports. Some consolation.

Troubles at Mercedes

The official who made the wrong decision was demoted, but the race result stood. And then it really started to go wrong for Sir Lewis, and for his team-mate George Russell. After a re-design, the Mercedes car which emerged for the 2022 season appeared to have both an engine deficit and suspension problems. From eleven wins and three more podium finishes (that’s second or third) in 2020 and eight wins and a further nine podiums in 2021, the best Lewis could manage last year was nine podium finishes and no wins at all. Since he started racing, there had never been a season when Lewis did not win at least one race.

The car, and Lewis, are faring no better in 2023, with just one podium finish in five races. Lewis finished 6th in Miami, with his Mercedes team-mate George Russell in 4th place. In fairness, in the drivers’ overall standings those positions are reversed.

An upgraded Mercedes is coming for the next race, Emilia Romagna in Italy on Sunday 21st May 2023. However, team boss Toto Wolff is only looking to ‘make inroads into Red Bull’s advantage at the front’ and to be ‘the best of the rest’.

‘We just need to manage everybody’s expectation because we’re talking so much about that upgrade,’ he said. ‘We’re not going to put it down on the track and then drive circles around Red Bull, but it’s going be a good baseline, I think.’

Nasty Piece of Work

How can a car which was so good, suddenly become so bad? Why has it become, in Mr Wolff’s words, such ‘a nasty piece of work’ from one year to the next? Why, for that matter, was Lewis on the receiving end of such a poor decision in Abu Dhabi after such an unexpected late crash in only his third outing in his rainbow helmet? Just what is going on? Is he now under a curse? Well, how can there not be a spiritual dimension to these extraordinary catastrophes? If you disagree, what are you saying? That God would not do that? Or that God could not do that? The Bible says in the book of Ecclesiastes:

Eccl 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

But then again, the Bible promises success to those who follow God’s ways, for example, to Joshua:

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

And to us all, in the very first Psalm, with a warning to Lewis and his LGBTQ friends:

Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psa 1:4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Pray for his repentance

We don’t pray any more in our house for success for Lewis Hamilton. We pray now for his repentance. By choosing to support the enemies of the Lord he has put himself in the camp of the ungodly, the sinners and the scornful. The Bible says, in the book of Numbers:

Numb 10:35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.

Will Sir Lewis Hamilton ever achieve that eighth world drivers’ championship and become the Greatest of All Time, or at least, the One with the Most Titles?

Or will he be like his friend the equally celebrity-woke Serena Williams, desperately chasing that one last title to, in Serena’s case, just take her level with Margaret Court, the Evangelical Christian derided by the press and the glitterati as ‘homophobic’? Serena never made it and has now retired. Margaret Court’s place in history is secure, as is her place in heaven. We read in the psalms:

Psa 146:9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

That is the kind of God he is. On one level, Lewis has entertained the people and made his money. He has enjoyed success. But ambition is built into all of us. It is part of being made in the image of God. I am sure Lewis wants that eighth title. What a pity he has turned his back on the God who gave him his gift and who could give him his final goal if he would only humble himself and repent. The Lord Jesus said:

Matt 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Yes, he is a God of judgment. But he is a God of mercy, and if your own life is being lived in rebellion from God, you too can turn from your wickedness right now, accept the Lord Jesus as your Saviour, your God and your King, and live to the full his risen life.

More scripture on pride…

2Chron 16:9a For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.
Psa 94:2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
Psa 119:21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.
Psa 138:6 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
Isa 2:12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
Jer 50:31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee.
Luke 1:51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Luke 14:11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Romans 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

‘Together in Love and Faith’ is a pro-gay booklet by Rt Rev Steven Croft, Anglican Bishop of Oxford. The Oxford Diocese sees it as supporting the pro-gay ‘Living in Love and Faith’ project which is currently tearing the Church of England apart, as David Virtue reports here.

Here, I dissect ‘Together in Love and Faith’  and discover it is as intellectually lightweight as every other bit of ‘gay theology’.

Support Christian Voice →

But firstly, I’ll just remind you the House of Commons debated a proposal from the Church of England bishops for ‘gay blessings’ in a debate on 24th January 2023.

House of Commons berates bishops

The homosexual MP Ben Bradshaw (Exeter) (Lab) asked ‘the Second Church Estates Commissioner if he will make a statement on the outcome of the meeting of Church of England bishops on equal marriage in the Church of England.’ HANSARD is HERE. And here is this message in VIDEO:

Firstly, Mr Bradshaw used the expression ‘equal marriage’. ‘Gay-marriage’ will never be ‘equal’ to God’s divine institution. It isn’t even ‘equal’ in civil law, because homosexuals have no way to consummate their ‘gay-marriage’. To file for divorce, they can only commit adultery with a member of the opposite sex. ‘Equal marriage’ is not just a fiction, it is laughable.

All the same, the ‘Second Church Estates Commissioner’, Andrew Selous MP, responded thus:

‘Last Friday, the bishops of the Church of England published a pastoral letter and draft resources that will enable same-sex couples to come to a Church of England church to give thanks for their civil marriage or civil partnership, and to have a service in which there would be prayers of dedication, thanksgiving and blessing for the couple. The bishops also apologised for the rejection, exclusion and hostility that LGBTQI+ people have faced in some of our churches. The bishops are united in condemning homophobia, and urged churches to welcome same-sex couples “unreservedly and joyfully”. I am pleased to speak for a Church that has the humility to apologise and admit when it has behaved badly.’

Our Lord endorsed creation account

However, if the Church of England has ‘behaved badly’ it is by not meeting homosexuals at their actual point of need and offering healing and deliverance. Rather, for Mr Selous, objecting to ‘gay blessings’ is a failure ‘to go forward’.

During the debate, if we can call one-way traffic a ‘debate’, Sir Chris Bryant MP asked ‘Did Jesus say a single word about same-sex relationships or marriage?’ This writer was not aware the Rt Hon Member for Rhondda had a theological bent, but we should observe that the answer, not that any MP ventured it, is ‘Yes, our Lord did speak about human sexuality and marriage.’ He endorsed creation and God’s holy institution both in Mark chapter 10 and here in the Gospel of Matthew:

Matt 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

Furthermore, as an MP might have said, but didn’t, becoming ‘one flesh’, in the full spiritual and emotional sense, of which sexual intercourse is the physical expression, is something a pair of gays or two lesbians can never do. It’s because they lack between them the essential God-given complementary bodily equipment. That, by the way, is why they can never consummate a ‘gay-marriage’.  It is also why ‘adultery’ must involve two people of opposite sexes.

Bishop’s offering has no science

A Christian Voice member very kindly and without any prompting (thank you, sir) sent this writer a copy of Together in Love and Faith. It was written in late 2022 by the Bishop of Oxford, the Rt Rev Steven Croft. It argues for full gay marriage in church. There are 49 pages of it, with some reference to scripture in pages 25 – 34.

The Bishop concedes in his offering that some New Testament texts ’lie at the foundation of the Church’s prohibitions against same-sex activity’.  Nevertheless, the Bishop says their number ’is not large’. Furthermore,  ’none of them is an extensive, intentional treatment of the subject’.  He completely ignores Matthew 19 and Mark 10 as if they do not exist. Of course he does. Our Lord’s words embarrass him.

In his epistle to the church in Rome, the Apostle Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, wrote:

Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

The bishop dismisses Roman 1:26-27 by saying ‘our science and knowledge of sexual identity and orientation has moved on’.  He actually means fashions and his personal prejudices, because there is not one single reference in his ‘Endnotes’ to the scientific literature on homosexuality. Steven Croft has not studied it at all, let alone in the length this writer did in his book The Sexual Dead-End.

Bishop Croft believes the Biblical witness against homosexuality is really only contained in these two verses of Leviticus:

Lev 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

So is God happy with bestiality, Bishop?

However, after quoting them, or at least the first, he sneers: ‘How many other commandments and regulations in Leviticus does the church keep and teach today?’

Well, we note the tables of affinity from Lev 18 and 20, forbidding marriage between close relatives, are still observed in the church. We also hope it would both keep and teach these commandments against adultery, child sacrifice and bestiality, which, coincidentally, we find either side of the injunction against sodomy in Lev 18:22:

Lev 18:20  Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour’s wife, to defile thyself with her.
Lev 18:21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
Lev 18:23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.

Furthermore, upon this verse in Leviticus stands Christian redemptive theology:

Lev 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

Ceremonial Law abrogated

A more considered look at the book of Leviticus sees that apart from that verse and chapters 18 and 20, which are of universal application, the clue to the purpose of the rest of the book of Leviticus lies in the name. It carries instructions for the ceremonial temple duties of the tribe of Levi.

Bishop Croft does not seem to know that the ministry of the Lord Jesus abrogated the ceremonial laws of Leviticus. He even quotes in full a moment in a drama called The West Wing, where one of the characters quotes a version of the ‘Dr Laura’ questions doing the rounds at the time. For example:

‘I know from Leviticus 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?’

It goes on (it really does go on) asking what penalties should apply today for sowing a field with different crops and wearing garments made with ‘different threads’ (it was wool and linen in Lev 19:19 – and Deut 22:11).

The idea of the questions is that the requirements of God’s law through Moses look silly and therefore that looking to the Bible for any questions of morality is silly. The questions fall down by making no distinction whatever between the judicial and moral laws of God, which in their general equity are still in force, and ceremonial matters of ritual holiness and the priesthood, which all passed with the sacrifice of Jesus.

The Genesis account

However, God’s design for human sexuality actually begins, not with Sodom, nor with Leviticus, but in the two Genesis passages brought together, as we saw above, by the Lord Jesus:

Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Right there is God’s creation of mankind as ‘male and female’ and his institution of marriage. The Bishop has to talk about marriage, but he finesses these scriptures to be more about fellowship than about God’s division of the sexes. He dismisses the Genesis 18 and 19 account of Sodom as concerning rape rather than homosexuality. He accepts scripture informs scripture but ignores, or does not know, what the Prophet Ezekiel wrote about Sodom:

Ezek 16:50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

He accepts that Jude 1:7 accepts that the sin of Sodom is, well, sodomy:

Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Less than scholarly

But that, for Bishop Croft, merely reflects ‘the tradition by this time’. The holy Apostle did not, you see, have the benefit of Mr Croft’s woke personal opinion that the sin of Sodom was rape and rape alone. Because, for Mr Croft, there is ‘an overall trajectory’ ‘within Scripture’. Moreover, he thinks people like him have authority to continue the ‘trajectory’ after the closing of the Canon. He gives what he hopes is a good example.  Scripture also endorsed slavery, he says, but we now know that slavery is wrong.

This is another example of his less than scholarly approach. What he calls ‘slavery’ in the Bible was bond servitude, which formed part of an ancient social security system. However, capturing and selling another human being, the core of what we understand as actual slavery, carries the death penalty in God’s law:

Exod 21:16 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

Mr Croft also cites Deuteronomy 23:17-18 and correctly identifies it as referring to ritual cult practice:

Deut 23:17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel. 18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

However, it would logically follow that if the Lord is cool with sodomy except when it forms part of pagan ritual, then surely he is also now happy with whoredom. Naturally, that is a clarification too far for the Bishop’s purpose.

Intellectually lightweight theology

All in all, Together in Love and Faith is an intellectually lightweight offering. Bishop Croft never engages with the mass of scientific literature on homosexual promiscuity despite speaking blithely of ‘faithful, stable, long-term same-sex relationships’ as if they are the norm rather than the exception in the homosexual sub-culture.

In fact, under that very heading (‘faithful … relationships’) he recalls a priest coming to him wanting to ‘marry’ his same-sex civil partner. We expect a declaration that this man and his civil partner had not been having ‘flings’ outside, which the homosexual literature reveals is common in male homosexual relationships. But there is nothing.  Does the bishop even know this happens in the gay world?

Finally, despite his degree in classics and theology, the Bishop dodges any examination of the Greek words malekoi and arsenekoitai. The Apostle Paul uses these to describe homosexual men in 1Cor 6:9:

1Cor 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

What Bishop Croft doesn’t want to tell you is that ‘malakoi’ means ‘soft to the touch’. It’s ancient Greek slang equivalent to the 1960’s word ‘pansy’ or the KJV ‘effeminate’. ‘Arsenekoitai’, translated as the second underlining above, is literally ‘man in bed’ and matches the Greek word in the Septuagint’s translation of Leviticus 20:13. The Apostle is plainly referring us back to Leviticus. Put them together and the highly-educated and well-travelled Paul means passive and active homosexuals.

Bishop Croft must know this but he fears to go into that kind of depth. Then again, what do you expect? Homosexual theology relies on a lack of intellectual rigour. We mustn’t look at the Bible, or homosexual lifestyles, too closely. As long as a ‘theologian’ can come out with something, anything, the gays will be happy.

PRAY: Pray the Lord will raise up those who will speak truth to the church. Pray for true Christians in the Anglican Church worldwide to stand firm on Scripture and sound doctrine.

READ: The Sexual Dead-End (by this writer).

ACT: Pastors and parents alike need to have sound doctrine before their churches and families come under attack.  Invite Stephen to minister on this subject or any of the matters raised by Christian Voice at your church.

Jamaica and Cultural Climate Change

Jamaica, along with the rest of the Caribbean and Africa, is threatened by what former UK Chief Rabbi Jonathan, Lord Sacks identifies as ‘Cultural Climate Change’.  HIS VIDEO HERE

By the grace of God, in this article you will see how Western evils like abortion and homosexuality are driven by a handful of activists in African and Caribbean countries imbued with Western vices. They are financed by wealthy Western governments and foundations with vast sums of money which should be funding proper health care or economic development.

Cultural Climate Change

So what is Cultural Climate Change? Unlike alleged weather ‘climate change’, this one is totally man-made!

Cultural Climate Change is characterised by a disregard for the sanctity of life and the divine institution of marriage. It leads to an ice age of falling birthrates, a rising sea-level of immorality, an increase in the temperature of intolerance to prophetic warning voices and a cooling of the altruism we need to bind us together. Civilisations in the past have been here and done this, Rabbi Sacks argues. Every one of them has gone down the rubbish-chute of history, driven out by a stronger monotheistic and monogamous force. The word of God says:

Proverbs 16:12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.

If you want your nation to be blessed, those who lead you must set Jesus as their King. Scripture clearly says:

Psalm 33:12  Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD;

Living in the Days of Lot

We can also say the West is now living in the Days of Lot. In the societies of Sodom and Gomorrah, immorality in the form of sodomy was not merely tolerated but encouraged by their legal and societal structures.   They also practised child sacrifice.  However, the West today goes one further. It uses government foreign aid programmes and immoral charitable foundations to export its immorality, funding local activist NGOs to spread Cultural Climate Change in their countries.

Psa 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

The West also employs diplomatic pressure. One forum where this can be seen is the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting.

Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting

In previous years, pro-homosexual nations and activists within them have attempted to promote assumed LGBT rights in and around the meeting.

Australia put down a pro-sodomy motion at the CHOGM in October 2011.  The United Kingdom supported it.  In June 2011, Prime Minister David Cameron told a reception he gave for gay activists at No 10 Downing Street that he intended to use UK foreign aid as a lever to force recipient countries to liberalise their laws on homosexuality.  His speech was reported in the UK homosexual website Pink News.  This writer’s reaction to it was reported in DominicaNewsOnline.  I said: ‘David Cameron needs to realise that the white man is not the fount of all wisdom’.

The Bible writers would surely call Mr Cameron a man ‘who did evil in the sight of the Lord’.

Commonwealth Secretary-General Baroness Scotland stands accused of cronyism and corruption.
Commonwealth Secretary-General Baroness Scotland stands accused of cronyism and corruption.

Her Majesty the Queen signed a new Commonwealth Charter in 2013, which declared: ‘We are implacably opposed to all forms of discrimination, whether rooted in gender, race, colour, creed, political belief or other grounds.’ The Western nations wanted ‘sexual orientation’ included explicitly in the Charter. They lost, and will now try to argue that ‘or other grounds’ includes ‘sexuality’.

In 2015, the CHOGM elected Baroness Scotland as Secretary-General. Her Ladyship said she would use her tenure to promote decriminalisation of homosexuality in Commonwealth countries. She is now embroiled in accusations of corruption.

In 2018, Prime Minister Theresa May told the CHOGM that laws against unnatural practices were ‘wrong’. Prince William has expressed himself to be heavily pro-gay. Yet the Bible says:

Lev 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. 

Division and Pushback

However, events around the UNFPA Nairobi Summit in November 2019, which promoted ‘Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights’ (SRHR: code for pro-LGBT and pro-abortion policies) together with Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), exposed deep divisions between nations already engulfed by Cultural Climate Change and those threatened by it.

The Nordic Nations, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark, were the primary funders of the Summit. Moreover, no end of blond young women activists attended the Summit. In contrast, African, Caribbean and Asian nations were dismayed by the Western attempts to promote immorality. Uganda and St Lucia stood with the US to condemn the UNFPA agenda. Norway then condemned what it saw as the ‘pushback’.

Christian Voice and Kenya Christian Voice were there. We handed out leaflets condemning abortion to those going in and our activities were noticed and made a real impact in the spiritual realm.

Freedom of Speech

There is, as mentioned above, a serious impact from Cultural Climate Change on freedom of speech and expression. Legalising homosexuality leads immediately to non-discrimination laws. The next step is a law mandating public authorities to promote ‘protected characteristics’. These include ‘sexual orientation’ and transgenderism. Scripture condemns such vanities:

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

The same public authorities, and other concerns and companies, use these laws to sack Christians and others who express misgivings about homosexual practice on social media. The church also begins to exercise self-censorship.

LGBT propaganda

The experience of the UK shows that legalising homosexuality also leads to the pretence of same-sex ‘marriage’. This, coupled with the public authority duty, leads to teachers corrupting primary school children with LGBT propaganda. Yet it is parents, not teachers, to whom God gives responsibility for children’s education:

Deut 11:18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, … 19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

There is a trampling on parental responsibilities for their children’s education, even though these are enshrined not just in the Bible but in human rights legislation. In Birmingham, the courts denied parents freedom of assembly to protest against LGBT propaganda in Anderton Park and Parkfield Primary Schools.

Transgenderism

Schools in the UK are now also hotbeds of the horrors of transgenderism. The idea placed in the minds of even small children that they are ‘trapped in the wrong body’ has become so fashionable the UK government even allow doctors to prescribe hormonal drugs, ‘puberty blockers’ which interfere with children’s natural development.

Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Deut 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Matt 19:4 And he (Jesus) answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female?

(P.S. There has more recently been a pushback against transgenderism, with the closure of the UK’s Tavistock Clinic. The UK government also want to ensure fairness in sports. But at this time of posting [January 2023], the Scottish Parliament had voted to allow anyone to switch gender, without so much as a doctor’s note. Meanwhile the UK government were proposing to criminalise anyone, even a parent, who voiced concerns over even a child’s intention to ‘transition’.)

The prize of Jamaica

J-Flag: Jamaican campaigning homosexuals
J-Flag: Jamaican campaigning homosexuals

Cultural Climate Change is being pushed in Africa and Asia and across the whole of the Caribbean.  However, Jamaica, the largest Commonwealth island in the Caribbean, would be a highly significant prize if judges and/or lawmakers could be browbeaten into legalising sodomy and abortion. There is money to be made, particularly from abortion.  Underneath is an anti-Christian population control agenda.  We shall explore that at another time…

Anyway, the propaganda appears to be working for now. An article in the Guardian in December 2018 was headed ‘Welcome to Jamaica – no longer ‘the most homophobic place on Earth.’

The article highlighted what it described as ‘the work of Jamaica Forum for Lesbians, All-Sexuals and Gays (J-Flag), the country’s largest LGBT rights organisation, which this month celebrates its 20th anniversary.’

J-FLAG

J-Flag Logo
J-Flag Logo

So let us look at ‘J-FLAG’. According to its website, J-FLAG has six directors and no fewer than thirteen full-time members of staff, including a ‘Senior Youth Programme Officer’, one Sean Lord. Foreign-funded NGO jobs are among the most lucrative in the developing world. A Scottish gay charity has just admitted its youth outreach programmes amounted to grooming and sexual abuse.

Its 2017 annual report boasted of its ‘gay pride celebrations’, public visibility in its clearing beaches campaign, support from private sector companies and of being heard sympathetically in Parliament. It states that the Minister of Justice, Hon. Delory Chuck, called for decriminalisation of anti-sodomy laws, only to appear to back-track.

The Minister of Health, Dr Christopher Tufton, demanded ‘stigma and discrimination’ against ‘minority groups’ be ended. Most worrying, the Minister of Tourism, Edmund Bartlett, it says, told a London summit that Jamaica welcomes ‘LGBT travellers’. The latter bring tourism money, it is true. But they also bring heightened use of narcotics, sexual health risks and the corruption of ‘sex-tourism’ as well-heeled foreign homosexual men try to hire local boys for sex. The tourist industry is proposing a pact with the devil.

J-FLAG is also promoting feminist group ‘We-Change’, a magazine, ‘Pride ja’, a disturbing youth ‘outreach’, and a transsexual group, ‘Transwave’. They boasted of a partnership between J-Flag and ‘the Youth Division of the (Jamaica) Ministry of Youth, Sports & Culture.’

Confusing accounts

J-FLAG accounts are difficult to comprehend, even when it publishes them. It seldom lists its donors, but we’ll come to that. Its 2014 annual report lists 5,000,000 on administration, 17,500,000 pn staff, and 22,000,000 on ‘program’.

Its 2018 Annual Report showed a rise to 9,306,240 on administration, 10,133,405 on staff, and 71,811,593 on ‘program’ (p29). It does not say what currency these figures are in, which is a gross omission. It may be Jamaican dollars, which would put the listed expenditure in the £500k bracket.

Stop Press: J-Flag’s 2021 Annual Accounts listed the following wealthy international donors:
• Astraea Lesbian Foundation (US-based)
• Comic Relief/Impact (UK-based)
• GiveOut (UK-based)
• Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS)
• MAC-AIDS
• Open Society Foundation (George Soros)
• The Commonwealth Equality Network (qv)
• The European Union
• The Dutch Embassy
• The Global Fund
• United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
• United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)

LGBT promotion in the Caribbean

What is certain is that all the money comes from the West. The 2015/2016 Global Resources Report listed ‘Government and Philanthropic Support for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex Communities’.

The top ten funders of ‘LGBTI’ funding for Latin America, South America and the Caribbean (p6) included Hivos (a wealthy humanist foundation in the Netherlands), the EU, Ford Foundation, Open Society Foundations (founded by George Soros), Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice and the San Francisco-based Tides Foundation.

Costa Rica is being deluged with Cultural Climate Change money, $5m in 2015/16, according to the report. But second is Jamaica, with $1,785,967 pouring in. As J-FLAG is about the only and certainly the largest LGBT CSO in Jamaica, the bulk of that money must be ending up in J-FLAG coffers.

Donors listed

J-FLAG’s 2014 annual report listed some of its donors (p 38 – [p42 in the pdf]): Digicell Foundation, European Union, FOSI, Foundation To Promote An Open Society (sounds like a Soros set-up), Human Dignity Trust, MAC-AIDS, Rights Now, Royal Norwegian, Sigrid Rausing Trust, US State Department, York University and VIIV Healthcare. (US State Dept. money for promoting sodomy dried up under President Trump only to restart under Joe Biden.)

Sigrid Rausing Trust admits, or boasts, of having sent £480,000 to J-FLAG over the years from 2009. They gave them £240,000 over three years starting in 2018. (Stop Press: Their current grant is £300,000 over three years from 2022./)

Last year, 2019, Astraea Lesbian Foundation gave J-FLAG £500,000.

Wealthy foundations

Astraea itself is supported by other wealthy US foundations including Arcus, Tides and Ford and has strong links to Open Society Foundations.

We see Astraea and Open Society supporting similar groups around the world, for example, South Africa’s Triangle Project (pp 39-43). Other ‘usual suspects’ also appear, such as the Germany-based Heinrich Boll Foundation.

The Edge Funders Alliance ran a conference in 2013 helpfully listing many of the Western NGOs and Foundations funding groups promoting immorality in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean.

Returning to J-FLAG, we find a UK homosexual charity, GiveOut, fund-raising for J-FLAG’s ‘Community Hub’, ‘Rainbow House’. GiveOut have also provided funds for J-FLAG’s Transwave as well as the ‘United Caribbean Trans Network’ (UCTRANS).

Abortion

Jamaica’s IPPF-funded FAMPLAN ’s logo carries worrying allusions to China’s infamous ‘one-child’ policy .
Jamaica’s IPPF-funded FAMPLAN ’s logo carries worrying allusions to China’s infamous ‘one-child’ policy .

Abortion is illegal in Jamaica except, obviously, to save the life of the mother. International Planned Parenthood run the Jamaica Family Planning Association, FAMPLAN. We read FAMPLAN is an advocate of sex education in schools. That will heighten demand for contraceptives, and when they fail, abortion.

In 2005 the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute published a paper about ‘declining international funding’ for Caribbean family planning associations. Like the Jamaican LGBT-advocacy industry, FAMPLAN is totally reliant on Western funding. It’s money was coming from US-based IPPF, from the Canadian International Development Agency ‘and similar International organizations’. It received no money from the Jamaican government.

In Kenya, Marie Stopes has been caught out providing illegal abortions in its network on clinics in the country. The abortions are heavily subsidised from the West, notably some £48m from the UK taxpayer. Marie Stopes does not operate across the Caribbean. If IPPF is providing that service, we have found no evidence of it at this time of writing.

Propaganda

Nevertheless, IPPF would be well set to make a lot of money if abortion were ever legalised in Jamaica, so we should expect pro-abortion articles in the press, presentations to Parliament and similar propaganda, or ‘advocacy’ if one prefers.

Indeed, we read On an IPPF website: ‘FAMPLAN is a key player within a coalition of civil society organizations advocating for legal and policy changes related to sexual and reproductive health and rights, including the rights of LGBTQI+ individuals and women who have experienced violence. FAMPLAN also focuses on the health and rights of young people, and has been leading a collaborative effort to revise and strengthen school-based sexuality education, and remove the requirement of parental consent for youth under 18 who want to access sexual and reproductive health services.’

Whenever we read ‘sexual and reproductive health and rights’ (SRHR) alarm bells ring. The expression was prominent at the Nairobi UNFPA Summit in November 2019. It is code for liberalisation of laws around homosexuality and abortion. And we note FAMPLAN want to paint parents of under-18s out of the picture where their children’s sexual activities are concerned.

Christian response

That particular IPPF webpage is no longer available, but IPPF’s ‘Famplan’ section boasts of its Youth Advocacy Movement HERE and says HERE that despite ‘cultural barriers and stigma’ Famplan has ‘made its mark’. It is a challenge to the church in Jamaica and to Christian youth in particular. The church needs to identify these strongholds of Satan and take prayer action against them.

As well as confront evildoers, Christians are called to offer up:

1Tim 2:1 … prayers, intercessions, … 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority;

And above all to witness to their Members of Parliament and all others in public life.

Christian Voice is enabling Christians both in the UK and overseas to pray for and to speak Biblical truth to those in power.  To support our work, click here!

Mass Resistance

Moving back to the LGBT agenda, Brian Camenker of US-based Mass Resistance was able to present a speech at a pro-family rally in Jamaica in 2013 hosted by Dr Wayne West.

According to the MassResistance website, ‘Camenker outlined — point by point — the progression that followed once homosexuality was legalized everywhere else — and would surely happen in Jamaica. After legalization comes: gay pride parades; non-discrimination laws; homosexuals’ adoption of children; the homosexual agenda in schools; forcing “gay marriage” on society; public funding to deal with increased homosexual-related social problems; the transgender agenda; large-scale loss of free speech; ban on counseling for kids with homosexual issues; and attacks on churches.’

Russian response

Under President Putin, Russia has been moving to a more pro-family and pro-life stance. It is one of the reasons Russia is now so hated by Western liberals.

In 2015 Russia banned Open Society Foundation from any activities in the country. Indeed, Russia now bans all organisations funded from abroad seeking to undermine the nation’s morals and corrupt its young. In 2013, Russia brought in a federal law ‘for the purpose of protecting children from information advocating for a denial of traditional family values’. Known as the ‘gay propaganda law’, this measure has already proved highly effective at preventing gay activists presenting homosexuality as a norm, or holding gay pride parades. Amnesty International and Western liberal opinion are appalled.

P.S. (Jan 2023) Yet even the UK now demands transparency around the activities of foreign powers. The Foreign Influence Registration Scheme (FIRS) was introduced to the National Security Bill by a government amendment in October 2022. The aim is to deter foreign power use of covert arrangements, activities and proxies, ‘where those activities are directed or carried out by entities established overseas or subject to foreign power control’.

John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Jamaica! Stand firm!

In the face of all the well-funded international pressure to bring Cultural Climate Change to Jamaica, we should be failing in our Christian prophetic duty if we were not to issue a warning to the people of Jamaica of their need to stand firm.

This ministry is therefore available to brief those in authority, diplomats, law-makers and pastors. We were present in Nairobi in November 2019 and are currently working on submissions to members of parliament in Kenya.

In Jamaica, it seems one necessary measure is to compel NGOs and CSOs which receive money from overseas to list each such donation in their annual published accounts. Russia’s example is one that has much to commend it as well.

The CHOGM 2020

H.E. Paul Kagame President  of Rwanda
H.E. Paul Kagame President of Rwanda

Looking ahead to June 2020 and Kigali, delegates from Africa, Asia and the Caribbean should be aware at least one pro-LGBT NGO has achieved affiliate status at the CHOGM. The‘Commonwealth Equality Network’ will ensure the presence of LGBT activists in Kigali. It lists 47 of its ‘member’ LGBT groups across the Commonwealth HERE. An article in the Independent in April 2018 also listed homosexual activists from the UK, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Barbados, Malawi, Tonga, Belize, Malaysia, Seychelles and Australia. Clearly, the Commonwealth white nations are funding all the others.

The UK government may well be on ‘best behaviour’ in June 2020 as Boris Johnson focuses on trade deals. That provides an opportunity for Caribbean, African and Asian nations to put together a pro-family, pro-life resolution. High Commissioners in London could prove instrumental in deciding whether such an approach is feasible, and if so, in organising it, and if not, pondering what else should be done.

The hosting country has great influence, not least in speeches welcoming delegates. It would be helpful if President Paul Kagame could remind assembled nations of the need to respect traditional values, for example.

(P.S. The inordinate ‘lockdown’ response to Covid saw the 2020 CHOGM abandoned.)

Research

More research should be done on the funding of pro-LGBT and pro-abortion NGOs, and this ministry stands ready to do whatever the Lord calls us to do to combat the global menace of Cultural Climate Change which threatens to destroy us all.

In particular, we are able to help and even set up pro-life and pro-family groups in the Caribbean. We are already responding to Christians who are establishing Christian Voice affiliates in Africa. This is a movement to stand for righteousness and pray for those in authority whose time is long overdue. Every Christian has a duty to offer up:

1Tim 2:1 … prayers, intercessions, … 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority;

And to inform their Members of Parliament and others in public life. And to expect miracles:

2Cor 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;

READ ALSO: Gen 19:24; Deut 4:40; 1Sam 2:20; 1Kings 15:12; 2Chron 20:12; Psalm 2:2-4, 33:12, 103:17-18; Isa 3:9; Ezek 16:49-50; Mark 9:42; Luke 17:29; Rev 7:14-17.

PRAY: For leaders in Jamaica and all the Caribbean, African and Asian members of the Commonwealth to stand firm on God’s word for human life, made in God’s image, and for the family as God has ordained it. May God pour out a blessing on those nations who fear his name and keep his righteous laws according to his promises.

NHS to Fast-track Surgery for ‘Trans’ Patients

NHS SCOTLAND
National Services Scotland
Image: NSS

Scotland’s NHS service is planning to fast-track irreversible surgeries for people who believe they are the opposite sex, according to the Telegraph.
A report by the service claims ‘barriers’ to gender reassignment surgery need to be removed and operations made more widely available. These operations include mastectomies, breast implants, and genital reassignment, as well as hormone treatments.
The document also claims the new plan can ‘benefit’ patients who identify as a different gender.
Furthermore, the report includes a suggestion that GPs rather than specialists be allowed to send patients for procedures. It says a single opinion is enough to refer for surgery in most cases.

Mental health issue

The group that wrote the report named it SPATH (Scottish Pathway for Trans Healthcare) in an apparent attempt to link itself to WPATH. World Association for Transgender Health(WPATH) is a group that advocates gender surgery for adolescents.
Firstly, the report states that counselling or psychotherapy examining gender identity is not a prerequisite for any gender-affirming healthcare. This means that people could be sent for operations without any interrogation of alternative reasons for gender dysphoria.
Additionally, It adds that no one is expected to describe their sexuality or current gender identity in stereotypical ways in order to access gender-affirming healthcare.
‘Access to hormones and surgeries can act as a prophylactic measure against distress. A person who identifies as a different gender can have persistent gender incongruence without distress and can still benefit from gender-affirming hormones or surgeries.’

Quick Fix?

Image: For Women Scotland

A director with the For Women Scotland campaign group (FWS), said surgeries on healthy bodies should not be seen as a quick fix. Trina Budge added that there was no proof they resolved gender dysphoria.
‘This now appears to be a service to fast-track surgeries selected by the patient, to satisfy how they wish to look, rather than any clinical attempt to address a mental health issue’, she said.
Meanwhile, Nicola Sturgeon’s government has urged Lady Haldane(Judge) to dismiss a case brought by FWS.
The campaign group insists it is quite clear that UK legislation allows a male to become legally female.
FWS argues that the change which the government hopes would boost the number of persons identifying as a different gender, is unlawful under the Equality Act.
However, Ruth Crawford, KC, representing the government, believes that a person born male could be legally seen as a woman under the 2004 Gender Recognition Act.

‘Very troubling indeed’

The plans to enforce these rules in Scotland follow approaches advocated by a group called the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH).
The organisation assert that it is unethical for medical professionals to stop children from receiving the treatment if they want to stop developing into the wrong sex. WPATH also suggests the age at which children should be able to receive such treatment should be lowered to 14.
Dr David Bell, a whistleblower at England’s Gender Identity Service for children(GIDS) even said it was ‘very troubling indeed’ to see the Scottish moving in this direction.
‘We have an ethical duty towards young people and adults not to treat things at face value,’ he added.
Christian Voice in several articles has said in accordance with the Bible that healthy people require no medications.
Mark 2:17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Is it not harmful to society that young people will as a result of these new treatments make decisions that will have an adverse effect on their lives?

State-endorsed form of ‘social transition’

A spokesman for NHS Scotland said the organisation would soon submit its final recommendations for a new treatment to SNP ministers.
‘This new protocol draws upon the widest appropriate evidence base and relevant clinical data,’ he added.
Subject to Scottish Government approval, it will replace the current arrangements. This will date from 2012 and determine gender reassignment pathways throughout NHS Scotland.

The Issue

Aside from the cost of living crisis, the treatment of gender and sexuality in children and adolescents is still a topic of public debate. The first shock came from psychoanalyst Dr. Marcus Evans, who served on the board of Tavistock Gender Identity Development Services (GIDS).
The consultant quit his job after denouncing that doctors were subjected to censorship at the clinic.

They expressed concern, for example, about the hurried procedures that resulted in ‘inadequate clinical assessments’ and premature interventions on young patients.
Dr. Evans also revealed that many of his colleagues were under attack from activist groups to keep the issue secret.

The Big Regret

The case of a 26-year-old female(now Sam) who underwent a double mastectomy and hormone therapy to become male is worth reading.
The young lady, decided to pay for private therapy sessions when she began to question her gender identity at the age of 21. This follows a two and a half years wait period for an NHS appointment.
She was initially thrilled to have had a private appointment, and after an online self-diagnosis was given the go-ahead to begin hormone therapy and undergo a double mastectomy.
Just two years after the hormone treatment and a double mastectomy, she began suffering health complications. The young woman realised a full gender reassignment surgery was not the answer.
By the time her initial NHS appointment came through, it fully dawned on her she had made a mistake and tried to seek help to re-transition.
After two years of taking hormones, she began to suffer vaginal atrophy and decided to opt out of the gender reassignment surgery. She has transitioned back to living as a woman.

Other Cases

The story above is not an isolated case. As reported on our website, the stories are piling up of young people who change their gender and eventually regret it. A related organisation referred to as Detransition Advocacy Network was formed to bring them together.
Meanwhile, hundreds of young adults are turning to the organisation. They are protesting that hormone treatment has not solved their problems. At the same time, the number of minors who turn to GIDS is increasing exponentially. In 2009, there were 77 children and adolescents. Ten years later, there are already 2590 referrals per year.
What has caused this increase? Ideology? Interest? Or just a greater awareness of gender dysphoria?
The Telegraph wrote that 35 doctors resigned from the GIDS, much like Dr. Evans in order to resist pressure from the campaign group Mermaids.

Scriptural and Scientific Evidence

The Bible in different chapters has made clear God’s intentions for mankind. Any attempt to alter God’s creation will eternally not bring peace except in the place of repentance.
Mark 10:6-7 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female…For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife.
Genesis 5:1-2 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him… Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Dr. Paul McHugh, a professor of psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, says that ‘transgendered’ men do not become women, nor do ‘transgendered’ women become men.
Research online maintains that sex reassignment does not adequately address the psychosocial difficulties faced by people who identify as transgender. Even when the procedures are successful technically and cosmetically. In cultures that are relatively ‘trans-friendly,’ transitioners still face poor outcomes.
The Guardian summarised the results of a review by Birmingham University’s Aggressive Research Intelligence Facility(ARIF).
ARIF concludes that none of the studies provides conclusive evidence that gender reassignment is beneficial for patients.

Read and Pray

Levi 18:22; Levi 20:13; Isaiah 26:3; Psalm 29:11; Psalm 119:165; Psalm 127:3; Mark 7:21; 1 Corinthians 6:9; 1 Timothy 1:10; 1 Peter 5:7.
Pray for our nation and the leaders
Pray for our children and the future
Pray for those who have realised their mistakes and are trying to make things right.
Pray for every individual and group speaking up against legalisation of same sex relationships and gender reassignments.

National Trust Quick Vote is ‘Corrupt’

National Trust logo

National Trust logoFollowing Saturday’s National Trust Annual General Meeting held on 5th November 2022 in Bath, Christian Voice today criticises the Trust over a new voting practice we describe as ‘corrupt’.

The National Trust is Britain’s top conservation charity, so its woke posturing and virtue-signalling matters and affects our spiritual and cultural climate. To avoid criticism of its wokeness, this year the National Trust introduced a controversial mechanism known as ‘Quick Vote’ this year. Members voting online were invited to tick the ‘Quick Vote’ box to vote for all the candidates for Council the Trust recommended and against the resolutions it disliked. ‘Quick Vote’ was even presented as ‘Option 1’, ahead of proper voting.

We have now framed a Resolution against Quick Vote for debate and vote at the 2023 AGM. We know our petition against Quick Vote will be voted down, ironically by their use of Quick Vote, but that will make our point even stronger, to the glory of God.

If you are a National Trust Member, please pray into this matter, then Download, Print, Sign and Return the Resolution by clicking the yellow button below:

Support Christian Voice →

QUICK VOTE USED AGAINST RESOLUTIONS

There were six resolutions in all. They included a policy resolution to stop banking with Barclays and another to pull the Trust back from a tunnel project for the A303 at Stonehenge.

Christian Voice proposed two resolutions, one to cease wilding and wetting projects on Trust farmland, the other to stop the Trust parading in gay pride. The latter topped the yes vote for policy resolutions. But it made no difference with Quick Vote in the mix.

Two management resolutions were proposed by pressure group Restore Trust. They were firstly to appoint an ombudsman for the Trust, and secondly to prevent the chairman skewing the vote on resolutions with ‘discretionary’ members’ proxy votes.

EVERY MEMBERS’ RESOLUTION VOTED DOWN!

But they were behind the curve. Overnight, the Trust had moved the goal-posts. In the event, as the headline over an article in the Daily Telegraph put it, the ‘Annual General Meeting featured (an) unusual moment when every resolution proposed by members was voted down.’

Discretionary proxy votes this year were down by a factor of ten from last year. In 2021 the chairman cast around 20,000 block votes against each resolution the Trust objected to. This year, 2022, that was down to around 2,000. But hiding in the ‘No’ vote were the Quick Votes. The Trust did not disclose the number of Quick Votes. They simply included them in the ‘No’ vote, making it appear as if the resolutions lacked much more popular support than they did.

Based on the figures below, Restore Trust probably won the popular vote on the Chairman’s use of discretionary votes.  It is shameful that the National Trust used both discretionary votes and Quick Vote to vote down that very resolution.  Furthermore, our resolution on the Trust’s participation in gay pride possibly came close to securing half of the popular vote.

QUICK VOTE SKEWS COUNCIL ELECTIONS

It was worse when it came to the Council Elections. Last year, a candidate needed between 34,402 and 43,536 votes to be elected. This year, however, with Quick Vote tilting the table, the winning candidates secured between 63,771 votes and 72,963.

The Restore Trust candidates scored between 28,205 and 46,612 votes. Not one of them was elected. Under last year’s members-only voting system, at least three, possibly four, would have made it.

Quick Vote appears to have raised the bar for election by an average of almost 30,000 votes.

FULL BREAKDOWN CHALLENGE

Stephen Green, National Director of Christian Voice, proposed the wilding and gay pride resolutions. Today he said:

‘I have already challenged the National Trust to disclose the full breakdown of voting, separating votes cast by ‘Quick Vote’ from those cast in the popular vote in both the Council Elections and the Resolutions. Let’s see if the Trust can follow Biblical principles of honesty and transparency. I remind them:

Matt 10:26b there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

‘Then I call upon the National Trust to declare elected to Council those candidates who took the first seven places in the popular vote alone. Candidates only sneaking in because of Quick Vote lack all credibility and legitimacy.

‘In the past, the Trust Chairman used to cast proxy votes for Council Candidates. The Trust stopped this corrupt practice only very recently. It has now returned, called ‘Quick Vote’ instead.’

A COUNCIL OF YES-MEN

‘Under Quick Vote, if your face doesn’t fit, you won’t be elected to the Council. No outsider need even apply any more. Quick Vote is a stitch-up. And if Council members want to be re-elected, they will know not to rock the boat, because now they must be a ‘recommended candidate’ to secure the Quick Vote.

‘It is clear the Trust have introduced Quick Vote to entrench the status quo. In future, no Members’ Resolution critical of the Trust will ever be passed. The Trust don’t trust the members to vote the right way or elect the correct people to the Council. They are now plainly trying to eliminate dissent and build a Council of time-servers and yes-men. Quick Vote is designed to prevent accountability.’

CHAIRMAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED

René Olivieri
René Olivieri, Chairman of the National Trust, cast all the ‘Quick Votes’ against the members’ resolutions and for all the Trust’s recommended candidates.

‘The new Chairman, René Olivieri, was appointed in a fanfare as a safe pair of hands after the disastrously woke Tim Parker. But Mr Olivieri is entirely culpable for casting every single ‘Quick Vote’ to support the Trust’s establishment line and candidates. Brought in as a breath of fresh air, he has become just as corrupt as the rest of the National Trust Board. René Olivieri should be ashamed of himself.

‘Quick Vote is also now being used by a great many building societies, trying to avoid proper accountability just like the National Trust. The Building Societies Members Association (BSMA) is particularly critical of ‘Quick Vote’. In a list of desired changes, BSMA says: “All underhand practices such as the infamous ‘Quick Vote’ and tick boxes hidden in the small print should be banned”.’

John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

STOP PRESS 11/11/2022

We have today heard from ‘Jo’ in ‘Governance’ who says the Trust won’t disclose the numbers:

‘Following the weekend’s AGM, the Trust will not be issuing any further details in respect of the breakdown of voting.
‘The voting results as published are already broken down into the number of specified votes and the number of discretionary proxy votes cast. Only the discretionary votes are cast by the Chair. Using Quick Vote means members specify how their vote is cast – and these are therefore counted in the specified votes declared in the results.
‘For the avoidance of doubt, the Chair has no rights in respect of casting votes on the Council elections. A discretionary voting option is not available for the elections.
‘There is no governance requirement to break down the results further.’

Indeed the couple of thousand ‘Discretionary’ Proxy Votes were cast at the Chairman’s discretion against all the Resolutions the Trust disliked. But so were the Quick Votes, in much larger numbers, AND they were cast for the Trust’s preferred candidates as well. It is just not true that the members ticking the Quick Vote box ‘specified’ how their votes were to be cast, resolution by resolution, candidate by candidate. They allowed the Trust to vote for them.

This lack of honesty and transparency in revealing the number is worse in its way than how Quick Vote has skewed, not just the resolution voting, but the Council Elections, as one might say, for everyone, for ever (or until it is ditched). This corruption is going to reflect very badly on the National Trust. Not only have they brought in a dishonest voting system, but they won’t even disclose how many votes it was responsible for! On any measure, the whole affair is disgraceful and will be seen as such.

Biological realities hit women’s rugby

3

Shaunagh Brown

An article on the BBC website has set out the biological realities of women’s rugby while calling for action to mitigate them.

England women’s player Shaunagh Brown declares ‘Deciding to have a baby would end my rugby career’.

No children with the women

She goes on: ‘A couple of seasons ago, Harlequins men won their first Premiership title for nine years. After the match, there were so many kids on the pitch celebrating with their dads.

‘As I watched the lovely scene, it hit me that if my team – Harlequins Women – won our Premier 15s final a couple of weeks later, nobody’s children would be on the pitch.

‘Why? Because nobody had any.

‘I am currently with England at the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand and we have one mum in our team: Marlie Packer.’

Oddly enough: ‘Marlie did not give birth to her son.’ Er, how did she manage that? Use a surrogate?

Marlie Packer is not ‘a mum’

Marlie Packer
L-R: Marlie Packer, Oliver, Natasha.

No. Shaunagh is too woke to admit it but Marlie’s ‘her son’ is not actually hers.  Oliver is the child of her lesbian live-in lover Natasha. Ms Packer is quoted on the RFU’s website saying: ‘My team mates know that I’ve had a baby that my partner has carried.’ The expression ‘I have had a baby’ is truthfully only uttered by a mum who has actually given birth. Marlie Packer is fooling herself. She has not ‘had a baby.’ Natasha has.

The common sense view that a mother is one who has physically brought forth a child is endorsed by the Bible, both in the Old Testament:
Song 8:5 Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee.

And in the New:
Luke 1:57  Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.

Not just small men

But back to the topic. Shaunagh explains: ‘As a woman in rugby, it is the norm that you do not get pregnant until you finish your career.’

She is engaged but putting off marriage and/or starting a family until her playing days are over. She will also have to be aware of women’s biological clock.

‘I am 32 now. You have to stop playing contact rugby as soon as you get pregnant so that would at least be nine months out of the game.

‘Then you add on however long it would take me to get back after and at that age trying to get back to the highest level of rugby does not feel like a realistic goal.’

She is calling for ‘Good maternity policies’ which will ‘make you feel like you belong as a woman in rugby.’ The RFU ‘is bringing in a new policy that will offer us much more support as England players.’

She concludes: ‘We are women. We are different. We are not just small men. We have different needs.’

Women’s cricket

Why is maternity such a big topic? It’s because sports authorities, and above all the media, are obsessed with promoting women’s team sports. If it isn’t cricket, it’s football. If not football, rugby, even rugby league. But not hockey. Women’s hockey needs no promotion.

With the new ‘Hundred’ cricket format both the women and the men play matches against the same opposition on the same ground hours apart. The women go first, so the men have the prime spot and more TV coverage, despite the pretence that both sexes are equal.

And of course, the boundaries for the women are brought in and the balls they use are slightly smaller and lighter. Girls cannot hit the ball as far as the blokes and it’s nice for spectators to see sixes scored. The downside is that not as many 2’s are run in the women’s game, for two reasons. Firstly, there are not so many gaps on a smaller pitch. Secondly, men can run a lot faster between the wickets as Welsh Fire women’s bowler Alex Hartley explains on the BBC website.

Women fly economy

British Airways aren't flying the England Rugby women to the World Cup in New Zealand.
British Airways aren’t flying the England Rugby women to the World Cup in New Zealand.

For the women’s rugby union world cup, the pretence at equality fell apart at the airport. British Airways is ‘the Official Airline Partner to England Rugby’.

When the deal was struck in 2018, the airline and the RFU boasted that BA would fly the ‘men’s and women’s squads to tournaments around the world.’ A statement at the time read: “The partnership will see British Airways fly the England Men’s and Women’s teams to matches all around the world, including to Rugby World Cup 2019 in Japan and Women’s Rugby World Cup in 2021.”

However, this was before New Zealand were named as hosts of the women’s tournament.  It was also shunted to 2022. BA does not fly to New Zealand.  The women flew by Emirates, with, no doubt, a lengthy wait for transfer in Dubai. Moreover, whereas the men always fly business class, the women went economy. Why is that? GiveMeSport.com explain: ‘the RFU have stressed the women’s side is loss-making and that the organisation is limited in what it can invest in.’

Railing against creation

The Premiership Rugby website describes Shaunagh Brown as a ‘trailblazer’. She is also ‘a former discus, hammer and shot-put thrower for England’.

Of course women athletes face the same problems trying to schedule child-bearing. The difference is athletics is not a contact sport. Women can continue to compete while pregnant. So are women rugby players asking too much? Is Shaunagh Brown railing against creation itself? After all, the Lord Jesus reminded his hearers:
Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

Is Shaunagh really picking a fight with God Almighty? The rugby unions can offer no end of advice on how to resume training after childbirth. But she is still a woman and the reality is, women carry babies and women give birth.

Men can carry on playing professional rugby into their late thirties, as we read here. Women who want a good shot at conceiving cannot sensibly do that.

Bodily exercise

Therefore, bearing in mind playing longevity and the extra marketability of men’s rugby, and clubs are more likely to invest in their men players rather than their women.

As the RFU admitted, women’s rugby makes a loss.

Obviously it’s good for the nation’s health if women are exercising. At the moment, twice as many men take part in physical activities as women. Christians are often reminded of the words of the Apostle Paul to Timothy:
1Tim 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

But that is a matter of priorities and the word ‘little’ means for the little time we are here. Moreover, that word was written by a man who thought nothing of walking from Jerusalem to Damascus and who used sports and training metaphors constantly:
1Cor 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

Why the push for women’s sports?

So why the manic enthusiasm for women’s sports? Here is one Annie Bell desperate for some kind of women’s sports dividend from the triumph of the England women’s football team. They are called the ‘lionesses’ by the way. Whatever next? Are gender-specific words like ‘actress’, ‘seamstress’ and ‘manageress’ due for a comeback?

Lev 19:35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.

Here is CNN complaining about pay for women in sport while Anya Alvarez in the Guardian thinks she has spotted a disparity in the marketing budgets for men’s and women’s teams and players. Is that as unfair as she suggests? Digiday quotes one Ari Chambers, social creator at HighlightHER, saying: ‘Investment could be there if people are willing to believe that women can be profitable.”

Feminist ideology vs the market

No doubt the push to promote women’s team sports so avidly stems not from concerns over the health of the population but from feminist ideology. There will be some of the same thinking that sees it necessary to dragoon girls into Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects. Above all, clubs and national bodies, even advertisers, and especially media outlets, will not be spurning the opportunity of a nice bit of virtue-signalling.

Of course, we are bound to proclaim the Lord Jesus is God, not the market:
1Cor 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

Nevertheless, if more people will pay more money to see testosterone-filled men crashing into each, hoicking cricket balls into the sky or making football passes that reliably find their intended target than the women’s version, then at some stage that is what ruling bodies and advertisers alike will have to confront. There is no real problem here, no injustice which scripture can condemn, only God-given gender realities and, if left to themselves, market forces.

So for heavens sake, Shaunagh Brown, regard your feminine biology as a gift from God, not an obstacle to your career.

Prov 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

BBC and Daley Weaponise Games

Tom Daley with Jamaican swimmer Michael Gunning in ‘Tom Daley: Illegal to Be Me’.

No sooner have the Commonwealth Games closed than the BBC is hosting Tom Daley on Tuesday 9th August 2022 in an hour-long BBC1 pro-sodomy promo, as the Guardian reports here.

The British diver called for the Games not to be held in any country which maintains criminal sanctions against sodomy. He did not put it quite like that. He expressed it as countries where it is ‘illegal to be me’. Of course, it is not illegal to be Tom Daley anywhere in the world.

What is against the law, in those countries where the responsible authorities still listen to the voice of historical Biblical Christianity, is for men to commit unnatural acts with other men.

Please sign our petition against Tom Daley’s campaign.

Here is the story in the Daily Telegraph.  They have disabled comments.  But to be fair, it’s reasonably balanced, with academics pointing out the fallacies in his arguments.

The Biblical position

The Bible is clear that no nation should legalise sodomy:
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

God sets down a challenge to nations to choose his ways of life rather than death:
Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

Men, left to themselves, will always go wrong, thinking they are doing good:
Proverbs 14:12 (cf also 16:25) There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for institutionalised sodomy:
Genesis 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

And the Psalmist warns every nation to follow God’s ways:
Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

The Tom Daley Campaign

Tom Daley and others carrying 'Pride' flags into the Commonwealth Games
Tom Daley and others carrying ‘Pride’ flags into the Commonwealth Games

Despite those clear warnings, the Commonwealth Games opened with Mr Daley parading in, with half-a-dozen others, carrying a ‘pride’ flag. The old pro-gay rainbow job has now morphed into a flag with ‘trans’ chevrons.

So was Tom Daley also promoting the unfairness of men, otherwise known as ‘trans-women’, participating in women’s categories in sport and grabbing women’s medals?

Yes, he was. In June, according to the BBC, ‘Tom Daley says he is “furious” at his sport’s world governing body for voting to stop transgender athletes from competing in women’s elite events.’

The Bible demands equity and fairness. Tom Daley has lost that, with so much else.

Sodomy inflicted as punishment

There were supposed to be 35 people carrying these flags, one for every Commonwealth country where sodomy is still illegal. Furthermore, his campaign is orchestrated and a while in the planning.  As part of it, Mr Daley secured a pleasant trip to Jamaica to make the BBC film.  Whilst there, he hung out with gay Jamaican swimmer Michael Gunning and a group of other gays in a gay bar. So much for ‘oppression against gays’ in Jamaica.

Moreover, a Jamaican academic explained to Tom Daley that under slavery, some slaveowners would sodomise their slaves as a punishment. That aspect of colonialism, she explained, has left Jamaicans at odds with the ‘white man’s vice’. We see how the Christian-informed laws in the legal systems of so many Commonwealth countries affirm traditional African values. And now Tom Daley, and those responsible for the Games Opening Ceremony, berate African and Caribbean countries for their God-given laws in a naked show of neo-colonialism and, frankly, racism.

Yet the Bible is clear. God’s laws are neither hateful nor onerous:
1John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Tom Daley’s Personal Life

Tom Daley (Left) and Dustin Lance Black (right) held a 'baby shower' party last weekend.
Tom Daley (Left) and Dustin Lance Black (right) held a ‘baby shower’ party.

It is said ‘the personal is political’ and of no-one is this more true than of Tom Daley. It appears Tom turned homosexual after the death of his father. His ‘partner’, Dustin Lance Black, is in the same age-bracket as his late father, as we reported here.

Self-deception is built in to homosexual circles. Homosexual men and women have to convince themselves they are doing no wrong. Denial of reality extends out from there. Messrs Daley and Black, like many other gay and lesbian pairs, are adamant that they have ‘had a baby together’. They posted a picture from the ‘baby shower’ showing them clad in identical sashes. Both claimed: ‘Daddy to be’. The truth is, as our story pointed out, only one of them is the father.

The Lord Jesus said:
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Thank God for forgiveness, healing and deliverance in the name of Jesus. However they got into it, no-one, not Tom Daley, not Dustin Black, needs to stay gay.

Where now for the Commonwealth?

Where does the Daley campaign leave the Commonwealth Games? What indeed does it mean for the whole Commonwealth? A few years back, no Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting was complete without depraved Western countries trying to force a pro-gay resolution through. Happily, the African and Caribbean countries would have none of it. It seems that neo-colonialist brow-beating has recently gone quiet.

In our ‘Daley Baby-Shower’ article linked above, we also reported on the Daley campaign during the 2018 Heads of Government meeting. We reported: ‘Daley went off on his rant, according to the Guardian: “There are 37 countries where it’s illegal to be who I am out of all the Commonwealth so hopefully we can reduce that number between now and (2022),” Theresa May and Boris Johnson also joined in trying to force gay rights on the nations of the Commonwealth. The Foreign Secretary even promised Tom Daley he would raise the matter.’

The number appears now to have fallen from 37 to 35, solely due to pressure from Western government and Foundations and Western-funded activists in two of the nations concerned.

Ban pro-family nations from hosting?

But now Tom Daley wants pro-family nations banned from hosting the Commonwealth Games altogether. That will mean only the pro-sodomy white nations will host them from now on. Maybe Tom is not the sharpest tool in the box, but can even he not see how racist his proposal is?  His whole campaign is blatant racism.  The Games had its posturing opening. It had the relentless switch-off presence of the lesbian presenter Clare Balding. The BBC ran anti-Commonwealth clips and poems. It was enough to cause Brendan O’Neill, writing in Spiked Online, to call it the ‘Commonwoke Games.’

As it happens, no African nation has ever hosted the Games.  Jamaica hosted in 1966, Malaysia in 1998 and India in 2010.  Otherwise, it has been the white nations all the way.  Australia leads the way with five events.  Melbourne in 2026 will make that six.  Miriam Moyo is Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) regional vice-president.  The best she could manage was “Definitely, Africa will host these Games one of these days,” as she told BBC Sport Africa

But with the cost of staging the Commonwealth Games coming in for Birmingham 2022 at a staggering £778m, maybe African countries have other priorities.  Plainly, the Tom Daley ‘campaign’ is just for show.  He is merely using the Games to advance his gay rights agenda.  It may be enough for now for African sports committees  to warn Australia against following the UK and ramming the worst of ‘diversity’ down athletes’ throats in their opening ceremony.

Commonwealth nations look out

Thank God African and Caribbean countries are beginning to wise up to immoral Western pressure. They are beginning to resent strings attached to aid and trade. Ghana is now moving ‘Beyond Aid’ and other African nations are starting to pass laws forbidding pro-gay propaganda. The days when they were willing to be bossed around by white people with a superior, colonialist attitude are coming to an end.

British athletes, opinion formers, media, politicians and younger members of the royal family are all intent on a pro-gay and (contradictory) pro-trans agenda. What if that resulted in African and Caribbean nations pulling out of the Commonwealth Games altogether? Could it even result in the end of the Commonwealth itself? The agitators would probably not care. The BBC appears to hate the Commonwealth. But how its demise would sadden Her Majesty.

The promises of God of blessing for those nations which follow his ways remain:
Psalm 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

Please pray for the United Kingdom to repent and turn back to God. Pray that Commonwealth nations will follow the ways of the Lord.

Who’s pro-life in the Tory Election?

Houses of Parliament
Houses of Parliament

Houses of Parliament
Houses of Parliament

One question in the Tory Party election which you won’t see asked by the mainstream media is which, if any, of the candidates is pro-life and pro-family.

Be sure news people know about it.  They will be doing their best to advance pro-abortion candidates and doing down any seen as pro-life.  They know it matters.

What does the Bible say?

Indeed defending innocent human life is as important to our United Kingdom as the shedding of it is to the realm of Satan.  The Bible says, in Exodus 23 and verse 7:

Exod 23:7b The innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

We read in Proverbs chapter six and verses sixteen and seventeen that the Lord hates the hands, like those of the abortionists, that shed innocent blood.

The Lord evicted the Canaanites from the Promised Land because they practised ritual sodomy and child sacrifice. He later judged the people of Israel for doing the very same thing. From Psalm 106 we read that just like us, they forgot to serve the Lord:

Psa 106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, 38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

MPs’ voting records

Liz Truss
Liz Truss

In the Christian Voice office we record how MPs vote on a range of issues.

So I am able to tell you that on 9th July 2019, both Liz Truss and Tom Tugendhat voted ‘Aye’ in the House of Commons to a measure to impose both abortion on demand and gay marriage on Northern Ireland. Rishi Sunak, Penny Mordaunt and Kemi Badenoch all abstained.

On 30th March 2022 the House voted on an amendment to the Health and Care Bill to keep Do-it-Yourself abortion permanent.

Tom Tugendhat
Tom Tugendhat

This measure was brought in during the Covid Lockdown to enable women to receive abortion pills by post. It was a temporary measure.

We should always, by the way, be suspicious of government ‘temporary measures’. They have a strange habit of sticking around.

’Pills-by-post’ open to abuse

Under this one, women did not need to see a doctor as the 1967 Abortion Act requires, they just rang up.

It was open to abuse on the time limits, women could be pressured into it by parents or a partner, there had already been complications and at least two women died. Nevertheless, the House of Commons voted on 30th March to make this temporary measure permanent.

Kemi Badenoch
Kemi Badenoch

Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss and Tom Tugendhat all abstained. Penny Mordaunt voted for it. Only Kemi Badenoch voted against, together with Suella Braverman, who was eliminated yesterday.

Candidate analysis

You may care to know that thirty-five Conservative MPs voted ‘No’ to abortion and gay-marriage in Ulster in 2019 AND to pills-by-post back in March. They included Suella and her campaign manager Steve Baker.

In fact members of this group of thirty-five pro-life MPs have been very likely to declare themselves in the leadership race for Suella, then for Kemi, then for Liz, then for Tom, then for Penny – and for Rishi, hardly at all.

Penny Mordaunt
Penny Mordaunt

It shows some MPs at least see this as a defining issue.

Sitting on the fence

Out of the five remaining candidates only Kemi Badenoch is remotely pro-life. Liz Truss and Tom Tugendhat are pro-abortion and pro-sodomy, Penny Mordaunt is pro-abortion and pro-trans.  Ms Mordaunt told the House of Commons on two occasions that ‘trans-women are women’.  See Sky news story here.

Meanwhile, the devout Hindu, Rishi Sunak, sits on the fence. And yes, religion is important.

Rishi Sunak

How will a man who cannot understand where the UK has come from know where we should go, which is to our knees in repentance before King Jesus?

Prayer points

So pray in to this, and let us see what the Lord will do in the series of televised debates coming up over this weekend. As the word of God tells us to pray for those in authority, let us pray for those seeking it:

1Ti 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
1Ti 2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
