She is proposing a £4.5 million ‘action plan’ aimed at making society ‘more inclusive’ for homosexuals, bisexuals and transgenders. They make up the media’s so-called ‘LGBT community’. And part of the ‘action plan’ is to brand any course of treatment or healing for same-sex desires as ‘abhorrent’.

As the Bible says:

Proverbs 29:27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

The initiative follows a major Government survey to which more than 108,000 LGBT people responded. The rest of the population, 99% of us, knew nothing about it.

The survey found out of the 1% of the population who are sadly L or G, as many as 2% had undergone conversion therapy and a further 5% had been offered it. That, clearly, will never do.

The action plan states: ‘We will consider all legislative and non-legislative options to prohibit promoting, offering or conducting conversion therapy.’

Avoid holding hands

The survey showed LGBT’s claim to experience ‘prejudice’ on a daily basis, the Government said.

More than two thirds of those who took part in the survey said they avoided holding hands with a same-sex partner in public for fear of a negative reaction. 23% said work colleagues had reacted negatively to them being LGBT. So not everyone has been steamrollered by the LGBT juggernaut.

LGBT hate incidents had been experienced by 40% of people in the survey. More than nine in 10 of the most serious offences went unreported, says the Standard. But a ‘hate incident’ could be someone like me objecting to repellent homosexual propaganda in Lloyds Bank, or a mother not being too pleased about dirty boys holding hands in front of her children.

The Prime Minister said: ‘We can be proud that the UK is a world leader in advancing LGBT rights, but the overwhelming response to our survey has shone a light on the many areas where we can improve the lives of LGBT people.’

Will DUP support the plan?

Arlene Foster's DUP have kept Theresa May honest over Brexit. Can they do the same in respect of the LGBT action plan? — Arlene Foster’s DUP have kept Theresa May honest over Brexit. Can they do the same in respect of the LGBT action plan?

Mrs May’s administration depends on the support of the Democratic Unionist Party. The DUP has remained a shining light in Northern Ireland, preventing ‘gay-marriage’ and abortion reaching the Province. Can the DUP shut down this ludicrous and freedom-sapping initiative?

Mrs May went on: ‘I was struck by just how many respondents said they cannot be open about their sexual orientation or avoid holding hands with their partner in public for fear of a negative reaction.’

‘No one should ever have to hide who they are or who they love.’

Does that include paedophiles and serial adulterers? Mrs May needs to understand that many of us, from strong religious convictions, seriously object to homosexuals flaunting their perversions in public. She continued:

‘This LGBT action plan will set out concrete steps to deliver real and lasting change across society, from health and education to tackling discrimination and addressing the burning injustices that LGBT people face.’

LGBTs matter more than others

The plan aims to investigate ‘LGBT abuse online’; as if no other form of abuse online is anywhere near as important. It also wants to improved ‘mental healthcare for LGBT people with a focus on suicide prevention’. That means other suicides, like those of young men in general, do not matter as much.

Lev 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

It will also say that society is to blame for suicides among homosexuals, not the disorder of homosexuality itself.

Inevitably, it will step up gay propaganda in state schools under the guise of ‘combating homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying’.

Finally, a national adviser on reducing LGBT inequality will be appointed as part of the initiative. And a BBC internal survey just found 10% of their staff were ‘that way inclined’. That’s five to ten times as many as in the population. Homosexuals are also over-represented in Parliament and academia. There is no ‘LGBT inequality’ in our law or in our public institutions. Just in the public mind.

Pastors may not pray?

And of course there will be the ban on ‘gay conversion therapy’. The psychological profession’s regulation bodies already prohibit their members from offering any such therapy. In the 1970’s activists such as Peter Tatchell browbeat the psychiatric profession into removing homosexuality from any list of disorders.

Therapist Lesley Pilkingon was struck off by her professional body, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She was targetted in a sting operation by activist Patrick Strudwick, as he boasts in the Independent here.

But what if someone goes to their pastor and asks for prayer to rid themselves of unwanted same-sex desires? What if the pastor suggests a Christian healing ministry? Will ministries, even churches, that take a Biblical view on sodomy and lesbianism be banned? What if the pastor or a friend of one seeking healing offers to cast out a demon?

Attack on basic freedoms

Let us be under no illusion. This is an attack on freedom of speech, freedom of choice, freedom of association, and inasmuch as Christianity forms the backdrop to a desire to be free from same-sex desires, or constitutes an element of the healing process offered, on religious freedom.

And why is such a ban being proposed? Simply to protect the fragile sensibilities of homosexual activists:

Firstly, the mere thought that someone could be dissatisfied with being homosexual and want to change is politically incorrect.

Secondly, the very idea that someone could actually change is politically inconvenient.

Thirdly, the concept that human sexuality is not rigidly determined at birth is at odds with the gay agenda.

Fourthly, the idea that there is something inherently wrong with sodomy and all things gay may not be entertained.

Gay Conversion Therapy ban criminalises ideas

There are people walking away from the homosexual lifestyle? How very dare they.

Homosexual activists cannot get over the fact that many ordinary people view same-sex desires and those outwardly expressing them as abnormal, unnatural, deviant and pathological. In particular, they cannot abide the church not honouring their perversion. But it never can:

Mark 10: 6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

And becoming one flesh in the Bible’s full emotional, spiritual and physical sense is something a pair of gays or two lesbians can never do.

So to be blunt, Mrs May is going to try to criminalise ideas. And that way lies tyranny. Another part of George Orwell’s nightmarish 1984 vision is in place. Here come the Thought Police.

Ruth Davidson is having her baby, not ‘theirs’

By

27 April 2018

Ruth Davison and Jen Wilson with their dog. Pet-owning is apparently much higher amongst lesbians than the general population.

Ruth Davidson, the leader of the Scottish Conservative Party, is 13 weeks pregnant with her first child.

‘Parents to be’

You can just about trust the Guardian to report on this story:

‘The 39-year-old said she and her partner, Jen Wilson, were delighted to be expecting a baby in October after undergoing IVF treatment.

‘Davidson said in a statement: “Like all new parents-to-be, we are excited and daunted about the months to come. Mostly, we are just overjoyed at the prospect of starting a family together.”

‘Politicians of all parties congratulated the couple on Twitter. Theresa May described it as wonderful news, and Scotland’s first minster, Nicola Sturgeon, joked: “The baby box is on the way”, a reference to the Scottish government’s scheme for new parents.’

‘Dreamed of starting a family’

Jennifer Wilson is a marketing assistant. She is 36 and originally from Co. Wexford in the Republic of Ireland. She came to the UK in 2003. The Sun newspaper says her emigration was because of ‘social attitudes’. ‘She “never really felt she could be completely herself”.’

The two have been ‘together’ for more than three years. That is close to being a reasonably long time in lesbian circles. They live in Edinburgh and plan to gay-marry.

According to the Independent, Miss Davidson said: “We have always dreamed of starting a family.”

Ruth Davidson could not ‘live a lie’

Miss Davidson had a previous lesbian affair, says iNews. She had ‘a long term partner who I’d discussed marriage and children with’. But the woman ‘dumped’ her.

She told a Scottish radio programme she did not want to be gay. However, although claiming to be a Christian, and knowing the Bible, her language is not the best, in this interview at least.

Furthermore, she does not say she ever sought prayer, healing or deliverance from her ungodly desires. She said she had to ‘make a decision’. ‘You’re going to live a lie for the rest of your life or you’re going to trust yourself. That’s what I had to do.’

Lies and pretence

But speaking of lies and pretence, the woman who could not ‘live a lie’ is living a bunch of lies. The first is that a homosexual relationship is normal or natural. Secondly, that being gay-married is anything other than a counterfeit of the real God-given thing. Thirdly, she is embracing the fiction that both her and Miss Wilson are ‘having a baby’ or ‘starting a family’. They are not. Only she is having a baby. Jennifer Wilson is a bystander.

Moreover, this is not a baby born into a loving marital relationship. It is not a baby conceived as the result of a one-flesh union between male and female. It is a baby concocted in an IVF lab for purely selfish and/or gay campaigning reasons. Yes, Ruth Davidson may well feel maternal. But if she has decided to be a lesbian, she has set herself steaming down a sexual dead-end.

A word about IVF

IVF has been used to enable couples who are in a one-flesh union to have children. Our misgivings about it arise because healthy embryonic human beings are killed as by-products. At the same time, we understand very well the heartache of not being able to conceive naturally.

It seems ironic and unjust that Nicola Sturgeon, at one time the only one of three female Scottish party leaders to be heterosexual, has been unable to conceive. Our hearts and prayers go out to her and her husband, even if we cannot stand her politics.

But an inability to conceive naturally is not remotely the case here. Ruth Davidson has gone down the IVF route because of her distaste for natural sexual relations. Either that, or because it would neither have been personally nor politically expedient to go ‘between the sheets’ with a man.

And who is the father of the growing baby? Did some student sell his seed? Is the father even a Conservative? Is he straight or gay? Will he have any involvement in the child’s life? Amid all the gushing, no-one in the mainstream media is so much as asking these questions.

We know Ruth Davidson is the mother

Unlike the creepy Tom Daley / Mr Black case, we know who is at least one actual parent. It’s hard to conceal pregnancy. But as her child grows up, what will Miss Davidson tell him or her? Will the pair maintain the fiction that they are both its parents? And how is a child expected to grow up normal in such an dysfunctional environment? (Let alone in the Black/Daley household?)

Ruth Davidson has been touted as a possible future leader of the Conservative Party as a whole. It is a party which celebrates sodomy and everything gay. The Tories passed the act to allow homosexuals to gay-marry. They corrupt the nation’s children in state-sponsored sex education. Above all, Conservative politicians have plunged headlong into the world of ‘post-truth, post-shame’. Given all that, Ruth Davidson would sadly be an ideal fit.

Take away the wicked

But to take on such a role would be to aspire to be the Queen’s minister. Let us pray against such an eventuality, but even more for repentance for all in authority. Let us pray for righteous ministers to surround the Queen with these words from the mouth of God:

Psalm 94:20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?

Proverbs 25:5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

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

Tom Daley and Dustin are not ‘having a baby’ – as Commonwealth says ‘No’ to gay rights

By

Stephen

-

25 April 2018

21

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

Failed Olympic Diver Tom Daley and his American screenwriter father-figure Dustin Lance Black are not ‘having a baby together.’

According to the Metro newspaper, the two held a ‘baby shower’ over the weekend (April 2018). That’s when you invite your friends around, feed them and receive gifts for your baby.

And in this case, you wear the sort of vulgar sashes and head wear normally seen on a hen night.

When the pair told the world in February, Pink News was shocked they received abuse. ‘It turns out that in 2018 a lot of people still aren’t happy about two men having a baby together. Earlier today Olympic diver Tom Daley and Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black announced they are having their first child,’ gushed the homosexual rag.

Post-truth, post-shame

No, they are not having ‘their’ first child, Pink News. Nor are they ‘married’. Nor is either of them the ‘husband’ of the other, as the BBC also claimed. All this language is self-delusional at best. At worst, it is yet another example of our ‘post-truth, post-shame’ society. Our leaders and media don’t know what is true any more and they don’t care.

Here is the uncomfortable truth. One of them is having a child born by a paid surrogate mother. Despite the identical sashes saying ‘Daddy to be’, the other has no relation to the baby at all.

Furthermore, this child is either a fashion accessory or a gay rights campaign. Either way, it stinks. Which one of them provided seed to artificially inseminate the mother? Or, did they, no, stop, there is a danger of too much information. They won’t say, in any case. They will pretend the child is ‘theirs’.

And they will, in fact did, hold up an ultrasound picture of the baby in its mother’s womb, whoever she is.

‘Breeding machine’

Which prompted the homosexual magazine ‘Advocate’ to ask if women have become mere ‘breeding machines’ for celebrity dirty boys. Sorry, gay couples. (Well, what they do is dirty by any reasonable standard, and inherently unsanitary.)

In any case, Advocate poses a fair question. They quoted columnist Richard Littlejohn. He asked: “But where’s the mum, the possessor of the womb which features in this photograph? She appears to have been written out of the script entirely.” Mr Littlejohn went on: “We are not told her identity, where she lives, or even when the baby is due. She is merely the anonymous incubator.”

Daley, 23 and Black, 43, got gay-married in May 2017 at Bovey Castle in Devon. Daley’s own father sadly died in May 2011. I venture his son would never have turned gay had Robert Daley still been alive. In fact, Pink News reported Mr Black revealed Daley is still attracted to women. He said: “I don’t know if I’ll be in trouble for this; his head still turns for girls.”

Who is the mother? And just who is the father?

In a radio broadcast, Black tried to say there would be loads of women in the child’s life. But that is not the point. A baby needs its mother AND its father. At some stage he or she will ask after his or her mother. And an inquisitive child will want to know which of the charlatans is his actual, true father. What will Black answer a growing child then?

God’s way is for children to be born of a loving union between man and woman. Such a relationship as the Bible describes is conspicuously absent in this case:

Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Commonwealth says ‘No’ to Tom Daley

If there is a silver lining, it is that Tom Daley’s pro-sodomy calls to the 2018 Commonwealth Heads of Government went unheeded, at least in the short term. He won gold with Dan Goodfellow in the synchronised diving at the Commonwealth Games. Daley pulled out of the individual event. He will be diving next in Russia in May. The Star reports he is afraid to go. Apparently, Russians collectively and the Russian Federation not being cool with sodomy is ‘scary’.

Goodfellow was sidelined as 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.

Sadly, Belize, the Seychelles, Nauru and Mozambique have all recently decriminalised sodomy. The matter is before the courts in Trinidad and Tobago, Kenya, Botswana and India. Sri Lanka has referenced ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity’ in its draft constitution. All these cases have been brought as a result of behind-the-scenes agitation from the UK. Moreover, the homosexual activists in the various countries have been funded from the UK, the EU or the US or from individuals such as George Soros and his Open Society Foundations. There is no indigenous locally-funded pro-gay activist group anywhere in the developing world, so far as we can make out.

Exodus 23:8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

Thank God for local opposition

Bishop Dr. Victor Gill and his wife Tracey Gill.

Thank God for local opposition. Indy100 quotes Trinidad bishop Victor Gill who condemns pressure from the UK to decriminalise same-sex acts as “neo-colonialism”. He voiced concern that “children should not be indoctrinated in school that homosexuality is normal”. We have experience in the UK that this is exactly what happens when sodomy is decriminalised. The bishop went on: “Once the law is removed and it becomes legally right, then it will be right to be taught, then they want equal opportunity for services and so forth’.

But the final communique of the 2018 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting made no mention of ‘sexuality’, ‘diversity’, ‘sexual health’ or ‘reproductive health’. (The latter is code for abortion.) ‘Transgender’, let alone ‘gays, ‘lesbians’, or ‘homosexuality’ did not merit a mention either. Sadly, feminism, aka ‘women’s economic empowerment’, featured. African nations have not yet noticed that the idea that only women and youth can be trusted to run businesses and increase wealth is deeply racist. ‘Women’s economic empowerment’ is yet another fashionable cause in the UK’s neo-colonialist agenda.

The wickedness the UK tries to force on other nations, added to our own rebellion against God’s laws, on top of our warmongering, is bringing the judgment of God on this nation. Pray for repentance in the Cabinet.

The wickedness of the United Kingdom

By

Stephen

22 March 2018

14

It is good Christians are gathering for prayer tomorrow in London. Brexit negotiations are at a crucial point. As always, it is the spiritual dimension of the EU which is vital to bear in mind. This link has all the short but (I hope) informative videos I made two years ago about the Tower of Babel, the Woman on the Beast, Satan’s Seat in Rome, and the EU’s original design as a revived Roman Empire.

But let us pray believers will also pray for repentance for Her Majesty’s Government. Because coming out of the EU, good as that is, will not solve the UK’s spiritual problems. Britain is deep in sin.

Gay Marriage

The United Kingdom leads the world in trying to force developing nations to accept ‘gay marriage’. At home, our Governments’ ‘sex education’ model promotes deviant behaviour among the young. Transsexualism is the latest fad, challenging God’s creation itself. It is child sexual abuse. And the Church in the UK tolerates it.

We are put to shame by Christians in Africa who would never accept the homosexual agenda in their schools. One of the reasons our politicians so hate Russia’s President Putin is that he instigated that nation’s anti-propaganda law, which forbids promoting homosexuality in Russia. What a total contrast with the UK, where to voice any kind of opposition to the gay agenda is to lose employment or be thrown off a university course.

And overseas, the United Kingdom has blood on its hands. I don’t where you are, but although I want to see souls saved into the Kingdom, I also believe it is good when people simply dwell in peace. The UK and US started a bloody civil war in Iraq. That led to the displacement, murder and loss of livelihood of hundreds of thousands including the majority of that country’s Christians. The same happened in Libya. On top of its lack of concern for those lives, our Foreign Office consistently fails to stand up steadfastly for Christians in Egypt or Pakistan. Let alone Saudi Arabia, one of our ‘gulf allies’.

United Kingdom helped start war in Syria

Christians Celebrating Christmas in liberated Aleppo December 2016.

Latterly, our Government took against President Assad of Syria. Together with the US and George-Soros-funded Avaaz, we helped start a civil war in Syria. That caused wholesale loss of life and destroyed homes and businesses. It led to the rise of jihadists, not just those of Islamic State. Christians have been persecuted and and waves of migrants unleashed across Europe. Make no mistake, neither the UK Government nor its client jihadists care anything about Syria’s Christians. Nor do they care about its Druze community or Assad’s own Alawite minority.

Only the Russians stood with Bashar Al-Assad and Syria’s Christians. Yes, they were defending their Mediterranean base, but only the Russians saved Syria from a blood bath. They continue to help defeat the very same Islamists whom our government finance, to our national shame. So there’s another reason why our politicians hate President Putin.

I just thank God the United Kingdom is in no position to affect events in the far east. South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in has, for my money, shown more statesmanship than the lot of them. Let us pray for his peace initiative and that North Korea’s Christians may see light at the end of their dark night. The ambitious might even pray for repentance for North Korea’s Kim Jong-un. Imagine if he came to faith!

Ukraine destabilised by the EU

Then there’s Ukraine, where a Soros and EU-funded coup deposed a Russian-leaning elected president and threw a whole nation into turmoil. We showed here the role the EU and George Soros played in destablising Ukraine.

Eastern Ukrainian ethnic Russians naturally looked east for protection while Crimea took the opportunity to return to Russia. The affair was a financial disaster for Ukraine, not that the UK cares about that, and a setback for Western interests.

One fears any political solution will need clearer heads than have been in evidence recently. Even now, we hear the EU is trying to force Ukraine to accept gay rights so they can still join the EU! Why don’t they leave Ukraine in peace? Because the Eurocrats are empire-builders opposing the Lord and his Anointed. That sort never give up, do they?

The strange Salisbury Affair

Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in a restaurant minutes before they were found slumped on a bench, supposedly infected by nerve gas.

And lastly, the strange Salisbury affair. There was never any nerve agent on the streets of Salisbury as our article showed but what led to Mr Skripal and his daughter being found comatose on a bench? What did DS Bailey find in their home? If there was no break-in there, did Yulia bring something in her luggage from Moscow? And if inadvertently, how was a poison triggered?

Somebody in Whitehall knows, but they aren’t saying. It’s far easier to rush to judgment, throw accusations about and look tough disrupting international relations and the cause of peace.

And the latest developments, with a fractious Russian press conference and Boris Johnson comparing President Putin to Adolf Hitler, and you begin to wonder at the sanity let alone the spiritual condition of those who lead us. Frankly, none of those in power is wondering where his or her next meal is coming from as they survey the ruin of their business in Salisbury, Damascus or Kiev. They are sitting down in comfort.

Lord, show us what can we do!

It will be natural to call out to God to send a revival, or repentance, and we should. But let us also ask the Lord in prayer what we can do in the midst of such home-grown national wickedness. I remember pointing out in this YouTube nanosermon, ‘The Prayer Meeting’, that our Father does not receive many prayers like that, and when he does receive them, he opens his heart to us.

2Chr 20:12 O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee. (KJV)

Turn the Tide Christian Freedom Call

By

27 February 2018

Jim Shannon MP will lead in a debate prompted by 'Turn the Tide' — Jim Shannon MP will lead in a debate prompted by ‘Turn the Tide’

MPs Jim Shannon and Norman Lamb are leading a debate on Christian freedom in the House of Commons on Thursday.

Westminster Hall will stage the debate at 1.30pm. The title is”Freedom of religion or belief.”
Earlier this month Barnabas Fund published a booklet entitled ‘Turn the Tide’ to which we provide a link here. (All our links open automatically in a new tab.)

Magna Carta vs Louise Casey

The booklet shows the history of religious freedom in our jurisdictions. It quotes Magna Carta: ‘”The English Church shall be free, and shall have its rights undiminished, and its liberties unimpaired.” So says the very first clause of Magna Carta, the “great charter” signed by King John and the barons of England on 15 June 1215. Only four of the Magna Carta’s 63 clauses have remained part of English law to this day. This is one of them.’

It goes on to show a Government review carried out by Dame Louise Casey struck against the Magna Carta principle. Christian Voice carried an earlier article on the Casey Report. ‘Turn the Tide’ says: ‘The report defined “extremism” as views “at odds with the views of mainstream society.” It gave examples from various religions include “newer Christian churches” and stated that “all such instances undermine integration and should be challenged.” Elsewhere the Casey Review made clear that it considered such views to include traditional views of sexuality. Dame Louise recommended “a new oath for holders of public office” indicating that this should express support for “British values.” Elsewhere in the report she included support for LGBT ideology as part of British values.’

Test Acts

The booklet reminds us that Parliament abolished various “Test Acts” between 1719 and 1871. It says: ‘These “Test Acts” required anyone wanting to become a school teacher, magistrate, local councillor, MP or university student to publicly assent, often by swearing an oath, to a particular set of beliefs. The law thus excluded Nonconformist Christians and Roman Catholics from any of the above positions.’

But in an astonishing display of anti-Christian prejudice, Dame Louise wrote: ‘While many people in the UK appear to be seeing religion as increasingly less important and, in some cases, less of a force for good, for others, religion is very important in their daily lives. Within this latter group there appear to be some who are keen to take religion backwards and away from 21st Century British values … on issues such as …sexual orientation.’

‘Turn the Tide’ contends that the courts and tribunals are upholding a new set of surreptitious Test Acts, brought in with no parliamentary scrutiny.

Cases cited by ‘Turn the Tide’

‘Turn the Tide’ cites the following recent cases in support:

In 2015, academics at Sheffield University expelled Felix Ngole from a social work course because he previously posted comments on Facebook supporting a Biblical view of marriage.

This is a new “University Test Act” it says – Sheffield University requires social work students to support same-sex marriage. And that is a religious or quasi-religious view.

In November 2017, Cherwell School in north Oxford suspended Christian teacher Joshua Sutcliffe.

Joshua Sutcliffe with Andrea Williams of Christian Concern

His offence was inadvertently to include a girl pupil who claims to be a trans boy in an approving ‘Well done, girls.’ Mr Sutcliffe had immediately apologised, saying it had been a mere slip of tongue.

‘Turn the Tide’ goes on: ‘However, later the pupil’s mother complained that the comment was discriminatory. Mr Sutcliffe was removed from teaching and made to work in the staffroom while an investigation took place. He was then suspended for an indefinite period after the school said his “misgendering” breached its equality policy.’

In a third case, it says: ‘Andrew McClintock, who had served as a magistrate for 18 years on the South Yorkshire bench, was forced to resign after requesting to be “screened out” of cases involving children for adoption with same-sex households.’

Preaching cases more doubtful

When it comes to street preaching, ‘Turn the Tide’ is on less stable ground. Yes, Michael Overd and Michael Stockwell were convicted of public order offences in Bristol magistrates court in February last year. Indeed, the prosecutor told the court ‘that publicly quoting from the King James Bible “in the context of modern British society, must be considered to be abusive and is a criminal matter.”‘

But our brothers saw their conviction overturned in the Crown Court later that year. No street preacher, properly advised and represented, has ever been convicted of a public order offence in our jurisdictions.

Nor is the case of Pastor James McConnell compelling. He was indeed ‘prosecuted for a theological critique of Islam in a sermon he preached in his church’ in Belfast. The sermon appeared on YouTube. According to the Guardian, Pastor James denounced Islam as “heathen”, “satanic” and a “doctrine spawned in hell”. Charges came under the Communications Act. But the court cleared Pastor James ‘after a three-day trial in a verdict that upheld the right to offend under the principle of freedom of expression.’

‘Turn the Tide’ calls for ‘a new law’

The DUP's Chief Whip and Defence spokesman Jeffrey Donaldson supports a new law — The DUP’s Chief Whip and Defence spokesman Jeffrey Donaldson supports a new law

Barnabas Fund is calling for a new law ‘which positively affirms all seven aspects of freedom of religion that have developed over the last 500 years in the UK.’ It has the written support of Sir Jeffrey Donaldson MP on the back page of ‘Turn the Tide’.

‘Turn the Tide’ says it will need to include ‘freedom from being required to affirm a particular worldview or set of beliefs in order to hold a public sector job or stand for election; work in professions such as teaching, healthcare and law; study at school, college or university; or give parental care to a child.’

Andrew McLintock lost his case to have his freedom of conscience recognized when practising as a Justice of the Peace. The Employment Appeal Tribunal ruled against him.

Similarly, Christian prison worker Barry Trayhorn lost his case at the Employment Appeal Tribunal in 2017. That was over his right to quote the Bible on homosexuality in a prison chapel service.

In 2009, as the Independent reports, Christian registrar Lillian Ladele lost in the Court of Appeal. She contested a ruling that she had not been discriminated against by being disciplined after she refused to conduct same-sex civil partnerships. And she lost.

Do we need a new law?

Whether we actually need a new law is open to debate. The same judges will interpret any new law who are ruling against Christian freedoms on a day to day basis in our courts and tribunals. It may be that a law could be drafted in such a way as to compel judges to uphold freedom of religion. However, they might simply invoke the higher cause of ‘human rights’ and strike it down.

In 2013 both the Christian Institute and the National Secular Society became concerned at the number of Public Order Offences the police and prosecutors were bringing against Christian street preachers. The Christian Institute were concerned on the matter of Christian freedom. The National Secular Society were concerned from a freedom of speech point of view. They wanted to protect comedians such as Rowan Atkinson who would insult religions and the religious. They were also concerned about adverse publicity of police crackdowns on preachers.

As a result, the Institute and the Society joined forces. They successfully campaigned to have the word ‘insulting’ removed from Section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986.

The change has made not a scrap of difference to Christian preachers. The police are still arresting them. The CPS are still preferring charges. They are merely basing the arrests and the charges on the word ‘abusive’ instead. They are, as we point out above, still losing those cases.

But the heavy-handed police approach needs not a new law but smarter guidance from senior officers.

Support the MPs

Christian Voice intends to start taking these cases to the streets. We are now planning a witness outside Sheffield University and another outside Cherwell School. Watch this space.

But in the meantime, the Bible says:

1Tim 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Please email your MP via this Parliament website link and ask him or her to attend the debate in Westminster Hall on Thursday and support MP’s Jim Shannon and Norman Lamb. Above all, please pray for the debate for the light of Christ to shine through.

George Soros ‘There to make money’

Globalist financier George Soros provided funding for anti-Brexit Avaaz and has destabilised nations all over the world while pushing an anti-Christian agenda in Africa.

American billionaire George Soros gave a pro-EU campaign half-a-million pounds through his foundation, according to news outlets. (Note, all our links open in a new tab automatically).

Meanwhile, we have uncovered a video in which the financier shows a breathtaking lack of humanity and remorse. See below.

Best for Britain?

The Best for Britain campaign, which unashamedly advocates snubbing the Brexit referendum and remaining in the EU, received £400,000 from Soros-funded Open Society Foundation since the June 2017 election, sources told the Guardian.

Gina Miller founded Best for Britain. She took the UK government to court over the triggering of Article 50. The campaign is chaired by Lord Malloch-Brown, a leading political insider. Ignoring the 2016 Referrendum result, he says, ‘We, like millions of people, believe that Britain should lead, not leave, Europe.’ ‘Leading Europe’ is of course impossible for the UK or any other nation. The un-elected Commission, a self-perpetuating oligarchy, runs the EU.

Best for Britain’s CEO Eloise Todd said the group has ‘only one aim – to stop Brexit and do what’s best for Britain’. However, after touring European capitals in the spring of 2016, I concluded what is ‘best for Britain’ is to leave the EU’s revived Roman empire as fast as we can. This page on our website looks at the EU’s spiritual dimension and provides links to the videos.

George Soros made £1bn from the UK taxpayer

This scary sculpture of a woman holding the Euro aloft while men grovel at her feet is outside the EU Parliament building in Brussels.

George Soros made more than £1bn at our expense by betting against the pound on Black Wednesday in September 1992. By the grace of God his actions forced the British government to pull out of the European exchange rate mechanism. That decision in turn kept the UK from joining the Euro, so some good came of it.
Recdently, Mr Soros has made no secret he believes holding the EU referendum was a ‘fatal error’. The billionaire has refused to ‘butt out’ of the debate. Last week he pledged yet another £100,000 to Best for Britain.

He said: ‘Prior to Brexit, Britain enjoyed the best of all possible worlds. It was a member of the European Union without adopting the Euro.

‘Britain, outside Europe, will lose much of its global influence. Economically, Britain will suffer because 45 years of successful integration with Europe will go into reverse.’

Soros fears disintegration – and Russia

But the Independent reported his real fear just after the 2016 referendum. Firstly, George Soros is terrified the EU will break apart after a successful Brexit and he will lose his influence over European affairs. Last year we reported on the influence George Soros has amongst MEPs. Financially he could be disadvantaged as well.

Secondly, the financier revealed another aspect of his thinking in this quote:

‘To make matters worse’, he said, ‘the divorce process will preoccupy both Britain and Europe for years ahead, when they should be uniting to resist external enemies like Putin’s Russia and resolve the internal contradictions that made some people regard the EU as their enemy.’

Members of "Pussy Riot" staged a foul-mouthed tirade in a Moscow Cathedral. George Soros put up money for it. — Members of “Pussy Riot” staged a foul-mouthed tirade in a Moscow Cathedral. George Soros put up money for it.

George Soros hates Russia. Under Vladimir Putin the country has been returning to its Orthodox Christian heritage. It is Russia, not the West, which defends Christian minorities in the Middle East. We denounced the blasphemous Femen group and its Pussy Riot desecration of a Moscow Cathedral here. We also reported on them and on Moscow banning a homosexual parade. And who is now the world’s biggest funder of pro-homosexual NGO’s worldwide? The same man whose foundations, together with the US government, funded Pussy Riot and Femen? Click here to see if you guessed right!

George Soros links to armaments

Mr Soros is also talking up the alleged threat from Russia for financial reasons. Peace with Russia would remove the need for vast armies to be facing each other making money for armaments manufacturers.

The Panama Papers leaks, ironically funded by Soros, inadvertently revealed his links to the secretive Carlyle Group which invests heavily in armaments.

Other leaks show Soros maipulating news, whilst working against Russia and shoring up Hilary Clinton.

Ironically, although George Soros is the primary foreigner interfering in our internal affairs, the mainstream media persist in fingering Russia. In this article on the RT website, security analyst Michael Maloof goes further and points out the history of interference by the US and UK in the affairs on sovereign countries. Russian senators have listed one hundred examples of the US interfering in the elections of other countries.

Ex-CIA director James Woolsey has even admitted the US has interfered in elections in the past, but “only for a very good cause,” and when they thought rigging the vote would benefit democracy. See here.

Interfering in sovereign nations

Mr Soros founded the Open Society Foundation. Recently he announced he was giving all his wealth to the Foundation. Ostensibly Open Society promotes democracy and open accountable government around the world.

However, Open Society has a history of interfering in the internal affairs of sovereign nations. Its activists promote the causes of feminism, sodomy and abortion throughout Africa and Asia. The Soros front funded the so-called Arab Spring uprising.

The billionaire helped set up Avaaz, the clicktist anti-Brexit eco-warrior group. Avaaz sent agents into Syria with propaganda and communications equipment. Their involvement helped start the Syrian civil war, with help from the US and the UK. That displaced tens of thousands of people, the majority of the Muslims, who then flooded into Europe. Naturally, George Soros is all for Europe welcoming the Islamists in with open arms. Although Hungarian-born, he hates the Hungarian government for refusing to take the anti-Christian migrants in.

Soros also collaborated with the EU to fund the Maidan Square trouble in Kiev. The uprising drove Ukraine’s elected but pro-Russian president from power. The resulting violence has left people dead, businesses ruined and Ukraine in turmoil. The eastern Russian-speaking minority turned to Moscow for help. Gleefully, the EU then blamed Russia for the instability it started itself.

Even today at the Munich Security Conference all the talk is about Russian ‘meddling’. It should be firstly concerned with protecting civilian populations from Islamic terrorists. Secondly, it should be promising to end the interference by the US, UK and France in the Middle East. It is that, after all, which led to the rise of Al-Qaeda and then to ISIS. And that is not even to suggest those Islamist organisations were set up with Western encouragement in the first place.

George Soros ‘there to make money’ video

Finally, we shall make one thing very clear. The fact that George Soros is Jewish does not make exposing the evil he does ‘anti-Semitic’. Theresa May’s former chief of staff, Nick Timothy, has picked up on the same donation as we have here. He has been accused of “peddling textbook anti-Semitic tropes” in a Telegraph article he wrote. The accusations have come from Bonnie Greer and Owen Jones. Both are quite happy with the anti-Christian amoralism of George Soros as well as his anti-Brexit credentials. But at least Owen Jones is pro-Jewish. Bonnie Greer is boycotting Israel.

Finally, as trailed at the top of this article, and thanks to the off-Guardian website, we can see an extraordinary interview with George Soros. The interviewer challenges him on the social implications of betting against national currencies and driving millions towards poverty. This is his response: ‘I am basically there to make money. I cannot and do not look at the social consequences of what I do.’ Watch this astonishing video here.

Everywhere Soros becomes involved, destruction, death and degradtion run riot. Sometimes he makes money from the turmoil. At other times it is merely his hatred of Christianity and his fanatical obesesion with advancing democracy and perversion which drives him. We must pray fervently that his works are exposed and brought to ruin.

But let us also pray with compassion for the man himself. Pray he repents at finds salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ even at this eleventh hour of his life. He may never be able to undo all the evil he has set in train, but at least one soul would be saved from the fires of hell.

Ex-gay Voices are indeed Silenced

By

Ex-gay movie 'Voices of the Silenced' was due to be shown at Vue Cinema Piccadilly Circus.

A new Christian film about people who have walked away from the homosexual lifestyle will not screened in central London tonight, after a venue booking was cancelled, reports Premier Radio.

Producers hired a theatre at the Vue cinema on Piccadilly for a private screening tonight of ‘Voices of the Silenced’. But Vue Cinema bosses told them the event is being scrapped because it contradicts their ‘values’.

Six hundred people signed a petition urging the cinema chain to cancel the private showing of ‘Voices of the Silenced’. 125 guests had been due to attend the film, made by Core Issues Trust. Here is their film trailer.

Therapists ‘demonised’

Mike Davidson - demonised — Mike Davidson – demonised

The homosexual website Pink News claimed, ‘Nearly every medical body in the world has disavowed gay cure therapy.’ What it does not say is that they did so not because of evidence but because of gay activists turning up at their conventions and screaming at them.

On the Core issues Trust website, Dr Mike Davidson writes: ‘The work of demonising any therapist supporting clients wanting to move away from any unwanted sexual attractions is almost complete. Without research evidence, … there is now no professional body willing to support client autonomy and professional intervention for those who refuse to accept homosexual feelings as normal. Only the American Psychological Association has been brave enough to admit that research has not been done which proves that such therapy is ipso facto harmful and ineffective.’

Move out of unwanted homosexual practice

Pink News goes on: ‘The documentary, which compares the treatment of Christian gay ‘cure’ therapists with the plight of Jewish slaves in Roman times, was said to challenge the “myth… that people are born gay”.’

PinkNews accused Core Issues Trust of advocating for a ‘gay cure’. But Dr Davidson told Premier: ‘We are not saying that folk (who) identify as gay are sick.

‘What we are about are the rights and freedoms that people need to have respected when they want to move out of unwanted homosexual or other sexual practises – and that’s what the film does.’

‘Voices of the Silenced: Experts, Evidences and Ideologies’ features the testimonies of 15 people from eight countries who have moved away from homosexual activity.

The Christian Legal Centre, which is supporting the Core Issues Trust’s screening, says it is considering filing an injunction at the High Court, as well as taking action against Vue Cinemas under the 2010 Equality Act.

Ex-Gay ‘Voices of the Silenced’ are silenced

A still from Voices of the SilencedA still from Voices of the Silenced — A still from Voices of the Silenced

CEO Andrea Minichiello Williams said: ‘Ironically, the actions of PinkNews and Vue cinema illustrate the point of the film. The Voices of the Silenced are, in fact, being silenced.’

Lucy Northmore, group PR manager for Vue International, said: ‘The way we work is basically that all event bookings come through and get booked regardless, and then when we get the full content and review. We can make the decision at any time.’

The cinema only decided to drop the screening yesterday. Core Issues made the booking in November, she said. She said ‘we received the content on the January 22′. Vue only dropped the film when Pink News made waves. They then denied that was anything to do with it.

‘To assume that it was reviewed in reaction to the story is incorrect,’ said Miss Northmore.

‘Wicked Practice’

Homosexual peer Guy Black - 'hateful' — Homosexual peer Guy Black – ‘hateful’

Homosexual conservative peer Lord Black of Brentwood told PinkNews: ‘It is appalling that propaganda for so-called “gay conversion therapy” should be being screened here in London.’ Turning morality on its head, he described such therapy as a ‘wicked practice’.

Guy Black went on to call for conversion therapy to be made illegal in the UK. He described the film, a gentle documentary, as a ‘hateful film, fuelling homophobia and prejudice’.

In a statement to PinkNews, lesbian peeress Baroness Barker also turned truth on its head.

People who preach gay conversion therapy are zealots who are prepared to cause great harm to LGBT people in order to perpetuate their warped view of the world,’ she ventured.

Core Issues Trust chief executive Mike Davidson made headlines when he appeared on Good Morning Britain with Piers Morgan. The video is here. Piers Morgan expressed himself outraged, as we should expect. He told PinkNews his organisation was considering legal action against Vue.

Facebook video goes viral

Earlier this month, an ex-gay video on Facebook called for homosexuals to repent of their sexuality and seek healing. It has attracted 1.5 million views. US evangelical Christian group Anchored North posted the video. Pink News called it ‘shocking’. It is entitled ‘Love is Love’ and features a rainbow flag thumbnail.

The film features a woman who claims she was freed from homosexuality because she turned to God. Anchored North said: ‘It’s not gay to straight. It’s lost to saved.’ The film is on Anchored North’s Facebook page here.

A battle is raging in the US at the moment. Nine states – New Jersey, California, Oregon, Vermont, Illinois, New Mexico, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Nevada and Washington DC all ban gay conversion therapy. Activists have tabled bills in another 16 states. The remaining 25 do not have any plans to stop it. Both Donald Trump and Mike Pence support such therapy.

Ex-gay Film wars

Film ‘luvvies’ predictably gushed over a recent film slamming ‘gay conversion therapy’. The ‘Miseducation of Cameron Post’, starring one Chloë Grace Moretz, was awarded the grand jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival.

On the other hand, critics hated a film abour ex-gay Michael Glatze, ‘I am Michael.’ Glatze was an ‘out’ activist who is now happily married. The homosexual man Glatze ‘dumped’, Halifax (Nova Scotia) filmmaker Benjie Nycum made a further film ‘Michael Lost and Found’. It revolves about meeting Glatze and his wife at the home in Wyoming. Significantly, Nycom accepts that Glatze is genuiningly ex-gay and heterosexual. It is fundamental to gay ideology that no-one can change. Ex-gays must be either still homosexual really, or they never were.

Redemption in Corinth

But the Bible says there were ex-gay people in Corinth. The Apsotle Paul lists active and passive homosexuals alongside other sinners in his first letter to the Corinthians:

1Co 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.

Nevertheless, he immediately goes on to speak of the power of Jesus Christ to forgive, justify, sabtify and wash clean:

1Co 6:11 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.

To deny the ex-gay movement is to deny the Gospel.

Ofsted targets ‘fundamentalists’

By

Stephen

-

1 February 2018

22

According to the BBC, England’s chief inspector of schools is targetting what she calls ‘fundamentalists’ and ‘religious extremists’.

Amanda Spielman, head of Ofsted, says some community leaders see schools as vehicles to ‘indoctrinate impressionable minds’.

They use schools to narrow children’s horizons and ‘pervert education’, she says. Some schools even promote ‘extremist ideology’.

She is asking head teachers to confront those who foster what she terms ‘extremist behaviour’.

Ofsted on ‘Forms of liberalism’

‘Rather than adopting a passive liberalism that says anything goes, for fear of causing offence, schools leaders should be promoting a muscular liberalism,’ Ms Spielman said. She was speaking today at a conference held by the Church of England in London.

‘That sort of liberalism holds no truck for ideologies that seek to close minds or narrow opportunity.

‘Occasionally that will mean taking uncomfortable decisions or having tough conversations.

‘It means not assuming that the most conservative voices in a particular faith speak for everyone.’

She added: ‘Ofsted inspectors are increasingly brought into contact with those who want to actively pervert the purpose of education’.

Extremist ideology

‘Under the pretext of religious belief, they use education institutions, legal and illegal, to narrow young people’s horizons, to isolate and segregate, and in the worst cases to indoctrinate impressionable minds with extremist ideology.

‘Freedom of belief in the private sphere is paramount, but in our schools it is our responsibility to tackle those who actively undermine fundamental British values or equalities law.’

She is making the speech to support head teacher Neena Lall, of St Stephen’s state primary in east London. Ms Lall has tried to prevent children under the age of eight from wearing the hijab in class. Generally speaking, Muslim girls, although not all of them, wear the hijab after the age of 10. Ms Lall also tried to stop younger pupils from taking part in Ramadan fasting during school hours.

‘All forms of fundamentalism’

Tahir Alam, alleged "ringleader" of the Trojan Horse Plot of Muslims to take over secular schools, was also the co-author of a <strong><a href="https://www.christianvoice.org.uk/index.php/trojan-horse-plot-strategy-revealed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">72-page document revealing the strategy</a></strong>. See below — Tahir Alam, alleged “ringleader” of the Trojan Horse Plot of Muslims to take over secular schools, was also the co-author of a **72-page document revealing the strategy**. See below…

So far, so anti-Muslim, but naturally the Chief Inspector implied she also has Christian schools in her sights. Ofsted said Ms Spielman was not targeting the Islamic faith, but ‘all forms of fundamentalism’.

A Department for Education official said: ‘Extremism has no place in our society.

That’s why we changed the law and the requirements on schools so that they have to actively promote the ‘fundamental British values’ of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and the mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.

‘If there are any allegations of schools promoting ideologies or discrimination in the classroom, we will not hesitate to take action.’

What it means for Christians

There are two ways of looking at this story. Maybe it really is all about Islam. In this view, Ofsted is putting up a smokescreen with its ‘all forms of fundamentalism’ line.

Or perhaps Ofsted really have Christian schools in their sights. This view might make better sense. There have already been disturbing accounts of Ofsted inspectors marking down Christian schools.

The Independent reported in January 2017: ‘A number of Christian fundamentalist schools have been downgraded by government inspectors following an investigation by The Independent which revealed children at some schools that follow the Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) curriculum are taught that LGBT people are inferior and girls must submit to men.’ There are 26 ACE schools registered in the UK.

According to the Daily Telegraph, ‘Nine out of 10 schools linked to the Christian Education Europe network were deemed inadequate or said to be requiring improvement in their latest visit by the regulator in October 2016, despite most receiving positive feedback previously.

‘Criticisms included failing to balance lessons on the creation with teaching about evolution and not addressing other faiths in class in deep enough detail.’

Christian school forced to close

Ofsted forced Cornerstone School in Epsom to close

And in November 2015, as a local paper reports, Cornerstone School in Epsom was forced to close. Ofsted reported pupils at the small Christian faith school in Epsom had ‘a limited view of the world.’ They were not ‘open to the views of those who might have different beliefs than those offered by church members’.

In the Guardian’s article, Ofsted reported: ‘Pupils do not have sufficient opportunity to learn about and consider the lives of those who have a different religious faith or no faith.’

Headteacher Grahame Davies said: ‘The mountain of demands made by Ofsted meant that, after over 27 years as headteacher, I felt I was not the person to take the school forward.

‘Our unique setting means that this is much easier said than done, so the governors realised they had little option but to close the school.’

Parents’ responsibility

Teaching about creation has been one other way in which Christian schools have incurred the wrath of Ofsted. So is teaching Biblical morality and not giving room to condom-based sex education. The Bible shows the importance of sound teaching here, but it cuts both ways:

Prov 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Going further, parents have the responsibility for their children’s education:

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.

The New Testament reinforces that doctrine:

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

It follows that Muslim parents have the right to bring up their children as they see fit. Nevertheless, they should not do this at public expense. If they are delegating the duty, as is their right, they should pay for it themselves. Moreover, we should be clear. They may not teach murder or treason. However, teaching against the transient fashion of ‘equalities law’ may be a prophetic act, whoever does it.

Indoctrination

Muslims, however, prefer to have their cake and eat it. They put their children into state schools. When there are enough Muslim children, they make sure the school becomes Islamic. However, the State will certainly inspect schools which have public funding. Moreover, if it finds that a Muslim clique has taken over, Ofsted should take action. This was what happened in the Trojan Horse scandal in Birmingham.

But firstly, as is clear, even private schools are under the inspection regime. Secondly, Ofsted used the Trojan Horse problem to bring in the absurd ‘British Values’ idea, and try to compel all schools to become ‘liberal’ and ‘tolerant’ notably of perversion.

Amanda Spielman, head of Ofsted, says some community leaders see schools as vehicles to ‘indoctrinate impressionable minds’. But Ofsted itself wants to ‘indoctrinate impressionable minds’ – in all schools. It will do that with its own liberal values.

Ofsted express outrage at schools ‘promoting ideologies’. But every school does that. Ofsted mean ‘ideologies we do not share.’ We may feel a constitutional Christian State should insist on Christian ideology. But the elite are now overwhelmingly secularist, and they defend their privileged position by all means possible.

Home schoolers

German Social Services took the Wunderlich children because their parents were home-schooling them. Home-schooling is illegal in Germany.

Finally, home schoolers should be on guard. Ofsted and its Scottish and Northern Irish equivalents will not stop until home schooling is either outlawed or registered. The Biblical idea of parents educating their children is anathema to the elite.

They believe the ‘purpose of education’ is to make children uncritical servants of the state.

Radical Christians or New Agers often head such households. Either way, the elite see them as places of insurrection against the system.

Do not think a clamp-down cannot happen. Home schooling is illegal in Germany. Children will be taken away from home-schooling parents, as we reported here.

In 2009, an MP proposed outlawing home schooling in this jurisdiction. The move led to a huge petition, in which Christian Voice was involved. Our report on that is here. And local authorities have been known to take children into care because they are being home-schooled. You can find our report on such a travesty of justice in Medway here.

Be on high alert.

David Bryant: Injustice In Buggery Case

By

Stephen

-

24 January 2018

7

(Article Published in Christian Voice newsletter Summer Recess 2016)

A former fireman convicted of a sex attack and held in jail for four years had his conviction quashed in July 2016 in the Court of Appeal.

David Bryant, now 66, of Grove Road East, Christchurch, Dorset, was accused of committing an offence against a man named in court as Danny Day, who was a 14-year-old boy in the 1970s.

Mr Bryant was found guilty of buggery by a majority verdict of a jury in December 2013. He was jailed for six years in January 2014, but appeal judges later increased the sentence to eight-and-a-half years ruling that the original term imposed at Bournemouth Crown Court was ‘unduly lenient’.

MAJORITY VERDICT

Only a courageous and relentless campaign by his wife, who continued to believe in him, led to the evidence of Mr Day being called into question. The latter’s greed in demanding compensation on false pretences also saw his credibility evaporate.

Mr Bryant’s conviction was overturned as ‘unsafe’ by Sir Brian Leveson, Mr Justice Singh and Mr Justice Holgate in the light of the new evidence.

Mr Day alleged David Bryant carried out the attack with another man who was working as a fireman in Christchurch after they had invited the schoolboy to their fire station to play darts with them.
At a previous Court of Appeal hearing a judge said the alleged victim did not report the alleged incident until 2012 ‘after being motivated to come forward in the aftermath of the Jimmy Savile affair’.

CORROBORATING EVIDENCE NOT NEEDED

The need for corroborating evidence in sexual cases was abolished by the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 in order to secure more convictions in rape cases.

Any case of alleged rape or sexual assault may now be determined simply on the word of the accuser against that of the alleged perpetrator. It all comes down to which of the two is more plausible. In some cases, particularly where celebrities are involved, police name the alleged rapist hoping other accusers will come forward to bolster the case.

A senior police source said in connection with the disgraced ‘Operation Midland’: ‘You don’t have forensics, you don’t have cell site evidence in these kinds of inquires. What you are looking for is other witnesses who are giving similar accounts.’

In Operation Midland the police believed a serial liar known as ‘Nick’ and both ex-MP Harvey Proctor and Lord Bramall, former Chief of the General Staff, endured months of suspicion. The singer Sir Cliff Richard also fell foul of supposed ’historic’ accusations with no merit.

But barrister Matthew Scott, writing on the David Bryant case at http://barristerblogger.com, says juries may not reach a proper verdict in a case where no evidence is offered other than the testimony of an accuser.

DAVID BRYANT CASE: ONLY ACCUSER’S WORD

Mr Scott says it is a ‘fallacy … that a jury of ordinary men and women, or for that matter a bench of magistrates or a single professional judge, can be relied upon, without extraneous evidence, to discern beyond reasonable doubt when someone is telling the truth.

‘Unfortunately, as we have learnt time and time again, neither jury nor professional judge can do anything of the sort. Liars sometimes look shifty and nervously play with their hair; but so do people telling the truth, especially when defending themselves in the witness box under extreme pressure. At other times liars are utterly believable.’

In the case of David Bryant, there was no evidence save the word of Mr Day. The jury were unable to ‘spot the liar’, exactly as Mr Scott contends. He was believed. An innocent man spent over two years behind bars.

NOT BOXING CHAMPION

Mr Day waived his right to anonymity in a series of newspaper interviews after the conviction. But he was finally exposed as a liar after detective work by Mrs Bryant and a team of lawyers and private investigators, who worked on the case ‘pro bono’.

After David Bryant’s conviction, Mr Day launched civil proceedings against Mr Bryant and Dorset County Council, which ran the fire service.

In those proceedings he claimed aggravated damages because he said the assault had ruined his chances of appearing at the Olympics in 1984.

Mr Day claimed to be a boxing champion with a record better than Muhammad Ali. He said he had given up his place on the British boxing team at the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984 because of the trauma of the sexual assault.

PSYCHIATRIST REPORT

Mr Scott says: ‘Mr Day had made a mistake. His insatiable greed led to his downfall. Unlike his allegation of rape, where it was just his word against Mr Bryant’s, his claim of having been an Olympic standard boxer was demonstrably untrue. There was no evidence that he had ever so much as stepped foot in a boxing ring.

‘Then he relied on the report of a psychiatrist to prove the extent of his suffering. But this led to his medical records – inexplicably perhaps overlooked or ignored by the police in the original investigation – being examined. It turned out that, to use the language of Mr Justice Singh: “over a period from 2000 to 2010 the complainant in this case had to seek medical attention from his GP in relation to what can only be described as his being a chronic liar”.

‘When the case eventually made its way back to the Court of Appeal even the Prosecution conceded that the conviction could not possibly stand and Mr Bryant was finally set free.’

BIBLICAL STANDARDS OF EVIDENCE

Under a Godly system, a miscarriage of justice such as has happened to David Bryant could not occur. The scriptures show some basic principles:

Firstly, no-one shall be convicted on the evidence of only one witness. Two or three witnesses are required to establish a conviction. God’s eternal standard is especially important in capital offences, but it applies to all.

READ: Exod 23:7; Numb 35:30; Deut 17:06; Matt 18:16; John 8:17-18; 2 Cor 13:1; 1 Tim 5:19; Heb 10:28.

Secondly, perjury is punishable by the same punishment as would have been inflicted upon the innocent man were he to have been found guilty. The witnesses bear the primary responsibility of conviction.

READ: Deut 17:07, 19:15-20, 1Kgs 21:13; Est 7:10.

Corroborating evidence, forensics, CCTV, for example, can plausibly stand as a ‘witness’. But the testimony of a single individual will not meet the standard. It should not even meet the lower standard of ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ adopted by our courts.

INNOCENT SHOULD NEVER BE CONVICTED

It was a solid Rabinnic principle that the innocent should never be convicted even if that meant some of the guilty also went free. The English jurist William Blackstone expressed the ratio like this: ‘All presumptive evidence of felony should be admitted cautiously; for the law holds it better that ten guilty persons escape, than that one innocent party suffer’.

Matthew Scott writes: ‘What I cannot accept is that criminal courts should be asked to decide cases from decades ago which depend on the word of one complainant against one defendant.

Distressing though it may be for individuals who were sexually abused when they were children not to be believed, the danger that justice will not be done in such cases is simply too great.

‘In 2003 the then Lord Chief Justice, Lord Woolf, quashed a conviction largely on the grounds that there was no rational way of deciding who was telling the truth in a case which turned on which of two people was right about an incident that allegedly occurred about 30 years earlier:

‘“At the heart of our criminal justice system is the principle that while it is important that justice is done to the prosecution and justice is done to the victim, in the final analysis the fact remains that it is even more important that an injustice is not done to a defendant. It is central to the way we administer justice in this country that although it may mean that some guilty people go unpunished, it is more important that the innocent are not wrongly convicted.”’

PRINCIPLE ‘IGNORED’ BY THE COURTS

But Mr Scott says even this principle is being ignored by the Courts. The matter is left to juries, and for the court of appeal to put right any wrongs. But juries should not be expected to convict on one party’s word against another, and the court of appeal cannot be relied upon.

READ: Psalm 89:15; Prov 16:12, 25:5, 29:2,14; Isa 16:5.

PRAY: Thank God for the eventual acquittal of David Bryant and praise God for his wife who stood by him. But cry to God in anguish that such injustices are not rare in our land and are not easily put right.

Tim Farron: sodomy is sinful

By

11 January 2018

Tim Farron has said he regrets saying he did not believe homosexual sex was a sin during last year’s general election.

During the six-week long campaign, he was asked repeatedly about his religious beliefs and, specifically, about whether he believed gay sex was a sin.

After initially appearing not to answer the question directly, he said he did not want people getting the ‘wrong impression’ about his views, telling the BBC ‘I don’t believe that gay sex is a sin’.

Foolish and wrong

But yesterday, the ex-Lib Dem leader told Premier Christian Radio he had been ‘foolish and wrong’ and had spoken partly to try and get the issue of his faith ‘off the table’.

The committed Christian said the focus on his beliefs stopped him getting his message across during the campaign.

‘It was a little bit like having your main advertising hoarding permanently damaged and vandalised,’ he said.

Mr Farron stepped down as leader of the Lib Dems after last year’s election. He is now his party’s environment spokesman.

But in an interview yesterday with Premier Christian Radio, he said he now regretted not being honest with himself at the time. Furthermore, he admitted his answers had been motivated, partly, by political expediency.

Tim Farron under pressure

Asked whether he had felt under pressure to deal with the issue while touring the country, he replied: ‘The bottom line is, of course, I did.’

‘There are things – including that – that I said that I regret. There was a sense I felt I had to get this off my table: here’s a general election, a great opportunity for the Liberal Democrats… and all they wanted to do was talk about my Christian beliefs and what it meant.’

‘I would say foolishly and wrongly, [I] attempted to push it away by giving an answer that, frankly, was not right.’

Part of the difficulty he said he found himself wrestling with was the different understanding of what sin constitutes for Christians and non-Christians.

‘In the end, if you are a Christian you have a very clear idea of what sin is. It is us falling short of the glory of God, and that is something all of us equally share.

‘So to be asked that question is essentially to persecute one group of human beings because sin is something, Jesus excepted, we are all guilty of. But if you are not a Christian, what does sin mean? It is to be accused of something, to be condemnatory, and so we are talking different languages.’

Society tolerant – apart from …

Reflecting on his experience, he said he did not believe there was ‘a wicked agenda’ to marginalise or ridicule Christians. Nevertheless, there was a risk of society becoming ‘tolerant of everything apart from the things we don’t like’.

He added: ‘There are some who just can’t comprehend that somebody can have really strong convictions and be a Bible-believing Christian on the one hand and at the same time really passionately believing in people’s rights to make their own choices, which essentially is what liberalism is.’

Our only point of difference with Mr Farron is over his belief that his faith should not colour his political views. That is a form of pietism. It stands in contrast to a theonomic view that God makes laws, not man. For example, Jacob Rees-Mogg holds, with Tim Farron, a scriptural view on the sinfulness of sodomy. But Mr Rees-Mogg voted against gay marriage. Mr Farron voted for it.

More Credit to Tim Farron than Vince Cable

Nevertheless, we give Tim Farron great credit. He did wrong, he has admitted it. And full credit also to Premier Christian Radio for giving him a platform. Ours is not an army which shoots its wounded. His humility and repentance should encourage us all to stand full-square on the rock of faith, trust the word of God and proclaim the truth.

In addition, we know where Tim Farron stands. He has made himself perfectly clear. The one who comes out with no credit at all is Vince Cable, current leader of the LibDems.

@vincecable tweeted: ‘I strongly disagree with @timfarron’s personal views expressed today. @libdems have a long & proud record of fighting for #LGBT+ rights: campaigning to repeal section 28, equalising age of consent and legislating for equal marriage. I will continue to champion rights and dignity.’

Is Mr Cable stupid or just being deliberately obtuse? Tim Farron voted for all those things. He may well have been wrong to do so, but he did.

‘Dangerous’ and ‘offensive’

Back in November 2017, Mr Farron gave a speech to the Theos think tank. He said devout Christians are seen as ‘dangerous’ and ‘offensive’ in modern Britain.

Tim Farron said the idea that there was a ‘unifying set of British values’ was a ‘myth’.

The MP for Westmorland and Lonsdale said: ‘If you actively hold a faith that is more than an expression of cultural identity you are deemed to be far worse than eccentric.

‘You are dangerous. You are offensive,’ he said.

‘Being homosexual’ not a sin

We want to be very clear that ‘being homosexual’; in the sense of suffering from same-sex attraction, is not a sin. It is pathological and may keep someone from full communion with the Almighty, but ‘being’ that way inclined is not a sin. It is doing homosexual acts which is sinful and dwelling on them ‘in the heart’. There is such a fine line between temptation and sin, but temptation as such is not sin. The Lord Jesus experienced temptation, but never sinned:

Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Many of those who suffer same-sex attraction have been abused and then identify with the aggressor. A boy molested in a children’s home, for example, can then grow up thinking he is homosexual and experience those same desires. He needs the forgiveness of Christ, as we all do, but he also needs healing and probably deliverance. That being said, the word of God says plainly:

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

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.

An abomination

Moreover, we read in the words above that homosexual activity is an abomination. Verse 22 is the only time that word is used in Leviticus 18 and verse 13 the only time in Lev 20. The Hebrew word is ‘To’ebah.’ It means morally disgusting.

(By the way, the word for shellfish and other unclean foods, also unfortunately translated ‘abomination’ all through Leviticus chapter 11 in the King James Bible, is the Hebrew word sheqets.’ Sheqets just means ‘dirty’. Not that homosexual acts aren’t dirty as well as being an abomination. But the Bible doesn’t say that. We digress. But we see the difference.)

In response to those homosexuals who snarl, ‘So I’m an abomination, am I?’ we need to say having same-sex desires itself is not an ‘abomination’. Nor is any individual homosexual ‘an abomination’. That is, not until their doing becomes their being. There comes a point where your day-to-day sinful activity defines you. And we have to say that promoting such activity to school children is an abominable thing to do as well.

Moreover, I strongly believe that such depravity in mind or body provides an open invitation to the demonic.

God’s plan for humanity

Many people think Leviticus, or even the story of Sodom in Genesis 19, is the first time God speaks about human sexuality. But it isn’t. The Creator’s plan is for humanity to be formed around the societal institution of heterosexual love and marriage is revealed in the first two chapters of the first book of the Bible. In Genesis we read:

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 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

The Lord Jesus brought these two scriptures together in his answer to the Pharisees:

Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

And of course, being one flesh, in that full physical, emotional and spiritual sense, is something a pair of gays, or two lesbians, can never do. They lack the complementary physical, emotional and spiritual equipment.

Forgiveness, deliverance and change

We need to bring in some good news at this point. Yes, we know there are many routes into homosexuality, which we might define as an inability as an adult to relate emotionally and sexually to a person of the opposite sex.

Homosexual activity is sinful. Nevertheless, it is not an unforgiveable sin. Jesus Christ went to the cross so that all sinners might be forgiven. Furthermnore, the indwelling Holy Spirit, there for every believer, can heal and deliver.

So however someone became gay, they do not have to stay gay. There is a way out. Christ’s shed blood wipes away the stain of sin and releases believers from the power of sin.

It is do-able. Many men and women have walked away from homosexuality after realising that it was never God’s plan for their lives.

Why are the godless bothered?

Why is anyone who is not a Christian bothered about whether Christians believe homosexual activity is sinful in the eyes of God? To put it another way, why are we ‘dangerous and offensive, as Tim Farron suggests?

I suggest it may be because:

1 They are deeply intolerant of any view but their own,
2 They are totalitarian, wanting to impose their views on others,
3 Maybe they are worried God might exist and be right,
4 They know deep down what they (or homosexuals) are doing is wrong,
5 We challenge and disturb their cosy world,
6 The thought there is one higher than them to whom they are responsible annoys and terrifies them,
7 Because from sodomy being a sin to sodomy being a crime is just one theonomic step away.

Nevertheless, no atheist should be at all concerned that I and however many others think buggery and gross indecency should be re-criminalised and recent laws repealed in this respect. We are a long way from the corridors of power.

The traffic is all in the opposite direction. Children are being taught that sodomy is just great and the Government even want to increase the propaganda level. The Government want people to be able to change their God-given gender at will.

Rubbish chute of history

I, and our wonderful Christian Voice members, are just a voice crying in the wilderness, calling for national repentance, urging Christian to pray, and pointing out that every previous society which has passed this way has gone down the rubbish chute of history.

Moreover, every previous civilisation which allowed its family base to crumble and institutionalised sodomy has been conquered by a stronger, self-confident, monogamous culture.

Now, where would we look for one of those on our doorstep today?

Revoke Prince George Gay Prayer!

By

Stephen

-

4 December 2017

28

Provost Kelvin Holdsworth prayed for Prince George to be homosexual.

A renegade Scottish churchman has prayed for little Prince George to turn out homosexual.

We must come against this prayer in the power of the Holy Spirit. The people of God shall revoke the curse of the evil prayer by words of peace and righteousness and praying good for the young third-in-line to the throne.

Year-old blog post

The Very Reverend Kelvin Holdsworth wrote a blog post last year urging people to pray Prince George ‘to be blessed one day with the love of a fine young gentleman.’ Mr Holdsworth is provost of St Mary’s Cathedral in Glasgow. He is from the Scottish Episcopal Church, which voted to allow gay couples to gay-marry earlier this year. The BBC reported the story here.

Same-sex marriages in Anglican churches are banned in England and in Wales

In his blog post, Mr Holdsworth said that if Prince William’s four-year-old son married another man in the future it would help the Church of England become more inclusive.

‘A royal wedding might sort things out remarkably easily though we might have to wait 25 years for that to happen,’ he wrote.

‘Who knows whether that might be sooner than things might work out by other means?’

Royal wedding hijacked

Provost Holdsworth hijacked the wedding of Prince Harry & Meghan Markle

He tweeted the post again following the news of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s engagement.

‘This quote seems to be getting a lot of attention because it was picked up by a number of anti-gay campaigners in the Church of England,’ he said.

‘It is a shame that the happy news about the royal wedding has been hijacked in this way.’

(Which is a strange comment from one who hijacked it in the first place by retweeting a year-old post to make a pro-sodomy political point at the expense of Prince George off the back of Harry and Meghan’s forthcoming wedding.)

‘Unkind and destructive’

Gavin Ashenden, a former chaplain to the Queen and a Christian Episcopal Church missionary bishop, said the comments were not Christian.

‘To use prayer as a mechanism for wishing this on Prince George is an unkind and destructive thing to do,’ he told the BBC. It doesn’t have the prince’s best interests at heart, but uses him as a gender-political football to please 1.7% of the population.

‘What is especially odd and incongruous is the fact that it is suddenly OK to pray for someone to be gay, but totally unacceptable to pray for them to be free from being gay and to resume a sexuality that was in tune with their biology.

‘This seems not only contradictory but hypocritical.’

According to the Independent, Mr Ashenden told Christian Today: ‘It is an unkind and destabilising prayer. It is the theological equivalent of the curse of the wicked fairy in one of the fairy tales.

‘To co-opt the Royal children to service a narrow sexual agenda seems particularly tasteless.’

Bishop less than impressed

Susie Leafe, the director of the conservative evangelical group Reform, was also critical of Mr Holdsworth’s blog about Prince George. ‘I was very disappointed that he was prepared to bring a child in to this same-sex marriage debate,’ she told the BBC.

‘As a Christian minister he should pray for all people to come to know the love of Christ, rather than a fine young gentleman.’

Rt Rev Dr Gregor Duncan, Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway, indicated he was not at all pleased. He said: ‘The comments made by Provost Holdsworth were made on his personal blog.

‘As his blog indicates, the views expressed there are his personal ones.

‘They do not represent an official view of the Scottish Episcopal Church nor are they ones with which I would concur. I will be discussing this matter with Provost Holdsworth.’

Reality of homosexuality

The cover of King & King, a campaigning book for school sex education designed to groom children into accepting homosexuality as normal. Parents should be on their guard.

Gay activists maintain, contrary to the scientific evidence, that people are ‘born gay.’ They say it is impossible to change sexuality. If they are right, it is already determined whether Prince George is ‘straight’ or ‘gay’. The renegade provost would be praying for something which has already happened – or rather, not happened.

Some of us will acknowledge one can pray after the event, not knowing the outcome. The theology of that says the Lord knows we shall pray before we actually do, and he plainly has the capacity to change events according to the imminent prayer.

But the reality is that a combination of factors come into play in human development. As children grow up, many factors influence their young lives. Mothers have a role in leading their children to grow up normally.

It is especially important for fathers to affirm their sons in their maleness and their daughters in their femininity. Parents must also ‘recruit-proof’ their children by safeguarding them from predatory males – and some females – in the outside world.

Parents should also be on their guard for materials in school sex education designed to groom children into acceptance of homosexuality. The campaigning book ‘King and king’ is particularly pertinent here.

Identification with the aggressor

Tragically, many boys who would have grown up normally ended up in children’s homes in the recent past. There, firstly, pederast homosexuals got hold of them. Secondly, the boys identified with the aggressor. Look up ‘Stockholm Syndrome’. Thirdly, they grew up homosexual themselves, with the desire to repeat the pattern.

The inbuilt self-limitation of homosexuality is why gay men in particular have so many sexual partners. They are searching for affirmative maleness, but now sexualising it. They become involved in increasingly depraved sexual practice as they become immersed in the network. And, sorry Provost, but homosexual life is filled with more dirty boys than ‘fine young gentlemen’. That’s just the way it is. They are looking for what does not exist, a real man who will love a homosexual. And they are pressing a part of the anatomy perfectly designed for the extraction of water from bodily waste into a use our gracious Maker never intended.

Ex-gays in Corinth

But the good news is however anyone became gay they do not have to stay gay. Jesus Christ saves the lost, forgives their sin and transforms their lives. Christ can heal the underlying pathologies which arrested normal development. People, men and women, have walked away from the homosexual life and homosexual desires. Scripture says:

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.

Yes, there were ex-gays in the Corinthian church. But they were washed clean, sanctified and justified by the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus. Recognise also that the practice and thoughts of homosexuality can lay a person open to spiritual oppression. For some, healing may not be enough. Deliverance could be in order.

Prayer Warfare

Christian Voice members know how seldom we comment on matters to do with the church. As in ‘Never’. There are enough targets for prayer in government, commerce and the judiciary. So we shall not cast more aspersions than we have on Provost Holdsworth. The Lord knows his eternal destiny. Those leaving comments please respect this position as well. But firstly, his subject-matter has allowed us to set out the context. Secondly, we urgently need to invite the Lord’s people into a campaign of prayer warfare over this issue. Thirdly, we have been able to praise Rev Gavin Ashenden and the Bishop of Glasgow. They have made clear a prayer such as that of the Provost has no place in the Christian faith.

We should be comforted by these scriptures, from the book of Proverbs:

Proverbs 15:8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. … 29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Prov 28:9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
Prov 26:2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.

Pushing at a open door

Equally, the Provost’s prayer, even as a wicked incantation, has undoubtedly set in motion something evil in the spiritual realm. However, in countering it, let us realise we are pushing at an open door. Twice in the last century the Lord took a bad man out of the way and placed a man of God upon the throne of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Both King George V and King George VI had elder brothers quite unsuited to leading this United Kingdom through a time of war. God took Prince Albert by pneumonia. Edward VIII renounced the throne for the love of divorced Mrs Wallis Simpson.

Moreover, very recently, the wedding of William and Kate set the Parliamentary feminists in a spin. What if their first-born was a girl and a son came second? He would take precedence over her under the ancient rules of primogeniture. That, said the feminists, was unfair. Nick Clegg MP, the Deputy Prime Minister, introduced a ‘Succession to the Crown’ Bill. It changed the rule that the eldest son of a monarch would succeed to the throne. The Bill became an Act of Parliament on 25th April 2013. From that date, the eldest royal child would be next in line, male or female.

Hand of God on Prince George

Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge with their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Look how intently the Duke is looking at Prince George. There will be no bad influences in this family, in Jesus's name. — Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge with their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Look how intently the Duke is looking at Prince George. There will be no bad influences in this family, in Jesus’s name.

And then, to confound them all, the Duchess of Cambridge, as she had become, gave birth to a boy. To the dismay of the feminists, the nation welcomed George not Georgina.

So we believe the hand of God is already on this princely child. The Lord will ensure George grows up normally. There will be no undue influences upon him.

God knows parents are raising all children today against a background of pro-sodomy state dogma.

Nevertheless, pray the Lord will safeguard George as his father affirms his masculinity in his formative years.

Prince George will progress into true manhood, in Jesus’s name.

Finally, thank God for Gavin Ashenden, for Susie Leafe and for Dr Gregor Duncan. We pray for unity in the church of Jesus Christ and that all in leadership will heed Paul’s word to Timothy:

2Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Australia allows ‘gay-marriage’

By

Stephen

-

15 November 2017

Australia has voted for 'gay marriage' and gay activists are delighted. This march took place in Melbourne

Australia has voted overwhelmingly in favour of legalising same-sex marriage, reports the BBC.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics said 61.6% of people were in favour allowing same-sex couples to counterfeit marriage. 79.5% of voters took part in the non-binding postal vote.

Jubilant supporters celebrated in public spaces, waving rainbow flags and singing and dancing.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said his government would aim to pass legislation in parliament by Christmas.

‘[Australians] have spoken in their millions and they have voted overwhelmingly yes for marriage equality,’ Mr Turnbull said after the result was announced.

‘They voted yes for fairness, yes for commitment, yes for love.’

God’s first social institution

The word of God describes marriage as God’s first social institution:

'Vote No' campaigners stressed the family — ‘Vote No’ campaigners stressed the family

Genesis 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Moreover, those words were reinforced by the Lord Jesus himself:

Mark10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

Becoming ‘one flesh’ in the full emotional, spiritual and physical sense is something a pair of gays, or two women, cannot do. A pair of homosexuals can never engage in the defining act of marriage. So they engage in a variety of confected quasi-sexual activities, all of which are condemned in scripture:

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

So, despite what Mr Turnbull says, homosexals won’t have equality or fairness. Nature itself is against them. It won’t be committment, because their relationships are inherently transient. As for love, people – brothers, a father and son, comrades in arms – can love each other without feeling the need to press the part of the body perfectly designed for the extraction of water from bodily waste into a use our gracious Maker never intended.

How gender is taught in schools

Felix Ngole was expelled for calling gay ‘marriage’ a sin on Facebook and an English court upheld it.

Australia’s No campaign put the focus on the definition of family. They also raised concerns about how issues like gender will be taught in schools.

Their concerns are well founded. England and Wales allowed homosexuals to get gay-married in 2013 under David Cameron’s Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act. Theresa May described the measure recently as one of her greatest achievements. Scotland followed in 2014. Only Northern Ireland holds out against the tide of sodomy.

Consequently, since 2013, students and local authority workers have been harassed by the authorities for expressing traditionalist, Christian views. Many have been thrown off courses or lost their jobs.

In addition, the earlier Equality Act 2010 laid a duty on public authorities to advance homosexuality and transgenderism. A public authority is anything from a fire brigade to a hospital to a government department to a school.

Taken together, the UK’s Equality Act and Britain’s ‘gay marriage’ Act have given the green light to activist head teachers and Stonewall’s gay activists to groom schoolchildren into positive views of a lifestyle characterised by disease, degradation and early death. The Apostle Paul wrote to the church in Rome:

J D Unwin discovered that no civilisation which allowed its family structure to crumble escaped going down the rubbish chute of history.

Romans 1:27 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.

Sex and Culture

In his book Sex and Culture, anthropologist J.D. Unwin, warned that loose sexual mores would lead to cultural decline in the West.

The website EthikaPolitika says: ‘After a careful evaluation a variety of civilizations—including the Romans, Greeks, Sumerians, Moors, Babylonians, and Anglo-Saxons—a clear pattern emerged for Unwin: a perfect correlation between sexual fidelity and civilizational flourishing.

‘Though each civilization’s success correlated with strict sexual ethics, attitudes toward sex became increasingly liberalized and loosened. The consequences of the myth that sexual activity and its impacts could be confined to the private sphere soon became apparent. Premarital, extramarital and homosexual relationships proliferated and individuals began placing their individual desires over the common good. An increase in promiscuity corresponded to a subsequent decrease in the social energy required for civilizational maintenance and innovation. Ultimately, each civilization became less cohesive, less aggressive, and less resolute.’

Unwin said: ‘These societies lived in different geographical environments; they belonged to different racial stocks; but the history of their marriage customs is the same. In the beginning each society had the same ideas in regard to sexual regulations. Then the same struggles took place, the same sentiments were expressed, the same changes were made, the same results ensued. Each society reduced its sexual opportunity to a minimum and displaying great social energy, flourished greatly. Then it extended its sexual opportunity; its energy decreased, and faded away. The one outstanding feature of the whole story is its unrelieved monotony.’

Where ‘gay marriage’ is legal

In the whole of Africa, only South Africa, under a constitution drafted by Westerners, allows homosexuals to get 'gay-married' — In the whole of Africa, only South Africa, under a constitution drafted by Westerners, allows homosexuals to get ‘gay-married’

Australia has joined not just Great Britain, but Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, some states of the United States and Uruguay.

Russia and Eastern Europe, Africa, apart from South Africa, and Asia, apart from Taiwan, are holding out.

Furthermore, many of those nations make the commission of unnatural acts a criminal offence.

Those countries which have legalised what Almighty God describes as an abomination, and then devalued God’s institution of marriage, are heading for judgment and disaster.

Unwin concluded: ‘Civilizations in this liminal phase then collapsed from either 1) an internal anarchic revolution, or 2) conquest by invaders with greater social energy.’

Now who could those ‘invaders with greater social energy’ be in Europe, Australia and the Western world in the twenty-first century?

Only hope is in repentance

There is however hope for each individual homosexual, as scripture speaks of them, and many other sinners, finding forgivness and release from the power of sin:

1Corinthians 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.

Moreover, there is hope for Australia, Britain and the rest of the decadent West, but only if Christian men will rise up and proclaim the crown rights of King Jesus, calling for and praying for national repentance.
