Christian theologian speaks out on homosexuality
- OneNewsNow - 7/22/2008 12:00:00 PM
VANCOUVER - Dr. James Innell Packer, a noted Canadian theologian, author and a Board of Governors Professor of Theology at Regent College in Vancouver, as well as an executive editor of Christianity Today, recently addressed the contentious problem of homosexuality and same-sex unions in the Anglican church. The Anglican Church has come to a cross-roads because of the issue of same-sex "marriage," with a massive split in the Global Communion looking increasingly inevitable.
Dr. Packer opened his remarks with a statement explaining why this issue is of such great importance in the Anglican Church today. "In brief," he said, "because it involves the denial of something that's integral to the Christian Gospel.

God bless J.I. Packer.

You know they've essentially kicked him out (defrocked) of that particular branch of Anglican church, for his stances on this.

He isn't the only one defrocked for holding orthodox interpretations. Another reason that the ECUSA needs to repent or be cleaned out of the apostate from leadership.

Gay bishop Gene Robinson 'must be sacked' to save church from schism
The first openly gay bishop in the Anglican Communion must be sacked to save the worldwide church from schism, leading bishops from the developing world have demanded.
By Martin Beckford, Religious Affairs Correspondent
Last Updated: 12:31AM BST 23 Jul 2008
Rt Rev Gene Robinson's election by liberal Americans has caused deep divisions and exposed the 80 million-strong Communion to "ridicule", according to the head of the church in Sudan.
The Most Rev Daniel Deng Bul claimed his statement was backed by 200 other bishops from 17 other "Global South" provinces in Africa, Asia and South America.

Christian therapist under fire for email response
Ed Thomas - OneNewsNow - 7/23/2008 12:10:00 PM
Since the day California began issuing marriage licenses for same-sex couples by order of its state Supreme Court, one Christian marriage and family therapist says it's been an even rougher experience than she anticipated just standing up for her faith in her own profession.

It's finally started.
'Bible' lawsuit may be sign of things to come
Jeff Johnson - OneNewsNow - 7/25/2008 10:50:00 AM
Pro-family advocates say Christians should get used to legal harassment such as the lawsuit a homosexual activist recently filed against two Bible publishers.
Bradley LaShawn Fowler of Canton, Michigan, does not like the fact that the Bibles produced by Zondervan and Thomas Nelson Publishers both accurately convey God's prohibition against homosexual behavior. So he is suing in federal court, seeking $10 million from Thomas Nelson and $60 million from Zondervan.

Anglican leader seeks moratorium on gay bishops
By RACHEL ZOLL, AP Religion Writer
1 hour, 3 minutes ago
NEW YORK - Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, struggling to hold together the troubled world Anglican family, urged church leaders gathered Sunday in England not to consecrate another gay bishop, saying the fellowship will be in "grave peril" without a moratorium.
In his final speech at the once-a-decade Lambeth Conference, Williams said Anglicans need "space for study and free discussion without pressure" about whether to accept changes in traditional biblical understanding of same-sex relationships. He also asked churches to refrain from adopting official prayers for blessing same-gender unions.
"If the North American churches don't accept the need for moratoria, then to say the least, we are no further forward," Williams said at a news conference ending the 20-day assembly in Canterbury. "That means as a communion we continue to be in grave peril."

Brandon should not be charged with anything, so what if he killed that sicko larry?
that sicko "hit" on him, and perhaps that demonic homophile did it many times, not just once.
The school authorities should have punished that larry freak for his demonic behavior against Brandon. That would have prevented the shooting.
Brandon did the right thing, he defended himself from a predatory homophile who was intent on raping him.
It was not an execution but an act of self defense.
I will pray for Brandon, i hope and pray he gets acquited for any and all charges.
He shoudn't be persecuted like this, he should declared a hero being being willing to defend himself.
BOYCOTT HALLMARK!!!
BOYCOTT MACDONALDS!!!

Hate crime laws are nothing more than another ploy of the secularists and the homocrats to promote their immoral anti-Christian agenda.
All hate crimes laws should be abolished, people should be punished on the basis of their beharior and not on their thoughts or beliefs.
Motive should not increase the penalty of the crime, but motives may be a mitigating circumstance.
the problem with these hate crimes nonsense is that one murder victim becomes more important than another simply because the other victim is in a protected class. and the punishment for one murder is much more than the other murder just because the victim is in a protected class, that is simply stupid, and immoral.

There were many, many more options available instead of execution. How did this help? 
It wasn't an execution, it was self defense. It helped just as any shooting in self defense helps, it protected the innocent from their predators.

If we want to win the culture war, then we must demand for the criminalization of all sexually deviant behavior, whether its homophilia, pedophilia necrophilia etc, and there should be no parole for people who engage in sexually deviant behavior.
Would that include heterosexual immorality (engaging in sexual relations when you're not married, adultery, prostitution, pornography, etc.)?
We'd better build more jails.... 
yes, but technically heterosexual immorality is not considered sexually deviant,
Lots of church-goers are breathing a sigh of relief, LOL.
Sodomy laws have already been struck down and any that remain are unenforceable. Same with adultery. The military continues to have regs against adultery but they are rarely enforced. Laws already exist re: sex offenses against children and sexual assault. Same for pornography and prostitution.
I doubt anyone would be relieved, like i said, heterosexual immorality should also be criminalized, because it is still grave and serious immorality.
So what if immoral anti-Christian courts strike down righteous anti-immorality laws?, that means nothing because those laws can be reinstated and reimposed, all it takes is for Christians to demand that laws against homophilia fornication and adultery be reinstated and enforced strictly, for such laws to be reinstated and enforced. We should attack all officials who promote evil and destroy righteous laws, through any means, by the vote, impeachment, sue them, boycott them, attack them publicly as demon coddlers, even civil disobedience.
Its about time Christians went on the offensive in this culture war, no one wins on defense alone, offense is the key.
All Christians should remove their children from public schools, this would shut down the demonic public school system and shock their satantic humanistic administrators.
All Christians should demand and defend their right to oppose and discriminate righteously against anyone who is unashamely guilty of sexual immorality.
If other people want to accept homophiles , let them, but we Christians should be left alone by anyone and everyone should we decide to oppose and discriminate against sexual deviants though any and all non-immoral means.

Christians threatened with arrest at N.Y. “gay pride” event file suit
ADF attorneys represent Christians prevented from sharing faith at Elmira city park
Wednesday, August 20, 2008, 8:45 AM (MST) |
ADF Media Relations | 480-444-0020
ELMIRA, N.Y. —Alliance Defense Fund attorneys filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the city of Elmira after police prohibited a group of Christians from expressing their beliefs at a recent event celebrating homosexual behavior.
“Christians shouldn’t be discriminated against for expressing their beliefs,” said ADF Senior Legal Counsel Joel Oster. “Police cannot threaten to arrest Christians at a city park for sharing their viewpoint at an event open to the general public. Respecting their free speech rights is not optional.”

McInerney is accused of shooting the Oxnard youth as students worked on English assignments in a classroom at E.O. Green School in Oxnard
I do not see self defense exhibited in an English class while doing schoolwork. He lashed out in uncontrolled anger and murdered the kid. Did things happen in the past? I am sure. Was enough done? Doubtful. Should people have the right to kill others for psychological abuse? Should I have murdered my ex-wife? Should I kill the pastor who betrayed my confidence? Where do you draw the line? There are other avenues of protection that don't end with a dead body.
I doubt if your ex-wife or pastor ever tried to sodomize you multiple times.
the schools apalling failure at protecting brandon from attempted sodomy by that sodomite larry, is a perfect example of why the public school system should be abolished.
Also, think about it, if this were a case of some unpopular weird kid attempting to rape a popular pretty female student many time, and she responding with gunfire which led to the death of the said perverted unpopular weird kid, there would be no case, it would be declared justified self defense.
The only reason there is even a case here is because the homophile mafia is trying to put brandon under the guilottine in order to promote their immoral satanic agenda.
These demons will forcibly sacrifice anyone and everyone just to get what they want, and what they want is a homocracy, where they are held up above the "straights" , the "breeders", where they are given special priviledged positions in govt and society, over and above heterosexuals and especially conservative Christians, because of their "special" " orientation" , where they are free to go after any "chicken" they might happen to demonically desire, without fear of being shot at by their prey, all this under the cloak of "tolerance" and "diversity".
We shouldn't let them win, all Christians should support Brandon, we should support his right to self defense and his right to use lethal force to defend himself from being "hit" on by any and all homophiles of any kind.

May the grace of God give you peace and lead you away from hate.
When fecal matter exudes from a Christian's mouth, is it no wonder people are not receptive to the Gospel? When Jesus taught love, His followers are promoting violence.
Silvername, if you are without sin, buy yourself a rifle and go to the local gay bar and shoot everyone in there. Every single one of them. In the head. And as you are covered in their blood, smile and pat yourself on the back for a job well done.

Silvername, while I'm sure Brandon felt threatened - shooting and killing his classmate was absolutely not the answer, and IMHO, is indefensible. If Brandon is convicted of the crime, he should pay society's price for it. I pray that he comes to a true understanding of what God's grace really means.

I'm not even going to quote the rest of it. HHV5, I know you were being sarcastic, and meant it as a joke - but even jokingly advocating violent behavior is a violation of the TOS.

I didn't intend it as a joke -- I'm merely illustrating the logical extension of Silvername's violent hate.
I'm sorry I didn't have the diplomacy to word it as nicely as "support his right to self defense and his right to use lethal force to defend himself from being "hit" on".
People like Silvername make me livid, especially when their words have the unfortunate power to turn people away from Christ and His example of love.
When nonbelievers see Christians defend murder as "self-defense", what will they say about God? What will they say about the faith we practice? What kind of example are we setting?!

Yes, shooting sinners is the way to go.
