AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY
By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Aug 6, 2009 in AM Missives, Current Issues, Emergence Christianity, Emergent Church, Features, Homosexuality/"Christian"
Apprising Ministries showed in Queer Theologian Rev. Dr. Bob Shore-Goss On What The Bible Really Means Concerning Homosexuality that, when it comes to the issue of having sexual relations with another of the same sex i.e. homosexuality also being a viable lifestyle for the Christian, “evangelicals” who affirm this sinful and deviant lifestyle e.g. “pastor” Jay Bakker, ELCA “pastor” Nadia Bolz-Weber and Tony Jones, are first going to by-pass the Bible altogether of they’re going to reinterpret it via lifeless arguments from old liberal theology.
I also pointed out that I’ve not been covering this issue because I’m homophobic, or hate gay people, etc. What I’ve been trying to do by bringing all of this madness to your the attention is to show you the critcal issue at the heart of the issue of GLBTQ people because of the inroads made into mainstream evangelicalism of the postliberal cult of the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church—now morphing into Emergence Christianity—(EC).
When all is said and done a core doctrine of the EC from its initial hatching in Hell was a reimagined version of so-called “Christian” mysticism, which is actually a highly existential i.e. feelings-oriented Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM). In order to make this fly the EC imbedded itself into mainstream evangelical seminaries and denominational leadership structures of in order to re-educate pastors through relentless propaganda coming out of evangelical publishing houses.
How could someone like me with but a high school education figure this out? Easy; I listened to the Spirit as He tried to warn the mainline denominations through e.g. Dr. Walter Martin (1928-1989), who held four earned degrees. Circa 1985 Martin told us how Satan injected his poison into the mainline of the visible church:
There is a progression that takes place in liberal theology: It begins with a corrupt bibliology, a corrupt view of the nature and the inspiration of Scripture. They have a corrupt theology because once you are picking and choosing from the Bible what you want, your theology has to suffer from it, because your human reason is corrupt… every major theological seminary that has turned from orthodox Christianity began with disbelief of Biblical doctrine. There wasn’t a single exception.
This corrupt Bibliology then lead them to the next step. Their theology began to be touched by it, their view of the Cross, the Virgin Birth were both immediately questioned; then came the miracles of Christ… And finally they had emptied the Gospel of all its content; they were simply using the outward shell so that they go on collecting money from the people and the churches; because they knew that if the people in the pew knew that they were apostate, they’d throw them out. So the strategy was hang on to the trust funds; hang on to the money we’ve got; hang on the properties we control, and we will gradually educate the laymen into this new approach to theology.
And then finally we will take control of everything. The gradual process of feeding you theological poison until you become immunized enough so that you don’t know what’s happening to you. And when you wake up to what’s happening to you, it’s too late they’ve got everything. That is not a baseless charge, I stand prepared to prove that the Cult of Liberal Theology in the United States has deliberately and consistently followed this methodology to entrap, control and dominate the denominations and the churches of the United States and our educational institutions.

EC leaders learned from their evil forebears; they knew that in order for it to advance one of their pet projects, the affirmation of unrepentant practicing homosexuals, the EC would have to level the same attack against Sola Scriptura. And with the issue of homosexuality we are able to light up the night sky with the Word of God so that you should be able to see the advance of enemy forces because its sinfulness is as clear as it gets in Scripture.
As I stated in Will Rob Bell Now Follow Tony Jones Out Of The Closet, as in also publicly affirming unrepentant GLBTQ people as Christians in right standing before God, it’s my opinion that the “moratorium” on discussing the issue of homosexuality suggested by Emergence Christianity guru Brian McLaren was largely a ploy in order to buy more time for the Emerging Church to further penetrate mainstream evangelicalism. And penetrate they have.
With this sad backdrop I now point you to an excellent, and quite thorough, look into the Bible by my friend Chris Rosebrough of Pirate Christian Radio to see what God has said on the subject of sexual relations with a member of the same sex . As Rosebrough tells us in this program we’ll “spend some time in the Biblical texts, really looking at this exhaustively.” And we’ll look at the questions:
What does the [Bible] teach on this matter? What has God said to us? And what is the clear interpretation of these Scriptures? Does God basically not care who you have a committed relationship with—male or female—irrespective of whether or not you’re male or female, or does He truly condemn homosexual sin?
