May 29 2013 By virtueonline Texas Evangelical Pastor Decries Dispensationalists' Support for Israel

Roberts, who previously adhered to dispensationalist theology - and support for the state of Israel - now rejects both dispensationalism and U.S. support for Israel.

"Take your people over there until they become embarrassed they were on the wrong side," Roberts advised to church activists confronting support for Israel in churches.

May 28 2013 By virtueonline HOMOSEXUALITY: Mutable or immutable?

Of course, some homosexual apologists find the genetic excuse exculpatory. Therefore, they need it for the rationalization of their behavior: if I am this way by nature, how can I help what I do? However, the alcoholic could use the same justification for his drunkenness. In neither case does the inclination neuter free will or responsibility for actions.

May 25 2013 By virtueonline The Boy Scouts' folly: Putting sexual morality up to a vote

Pursuing godliness and virtue is not a democratic exercise but a walk of obedience. Truth is transcendent; it is not decided by polls or votes. (Two men or two women will never truly be "married.") We all fall short and hence need a Savior, but absolute Truth never changes. God - not man -- sets the standard for proper living.

May 19 2013 By virtueonline UK imams and Muslim leaders speak out against Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill

We are concerned that this radical change to the institution of marriage will impact on what is taught in schools. Muslim teachers will be forced into the contradictory position of holding private beliefs, while teaching a new legal definition of marriage. Muslim parents will be robbed of their right to raise their children according to their beliefs, as gay relationships are taught as something normal to their primary-aged children.

May 18 2013 By virtueonline Muffling the Clarion Call - Harry Covert

This brings me to what appears as the muffling of the Clarion call. Have traditional Christian believers, teachers, priests, rectors, vicars, Bishops, Archbishops and those with other high-faluting titles turned to deaf ears and forgotten biblical teachings in these days?

It is shocking that those trying to get away with "progressive" Bible teaching and preaching have been left alone to wreak havoc on the unwashed and unchurched to destroy Christian ministries throughout the land.

May 17 2013 By virtueonline Notable Protestants Defend Marriage

"Moral Majoritarianism" remains the most common approach "at the populist level." Moore summarized the position as "We are standing with the silent majority of Americans, thus we can move this and sway this politically." One assumes, "Most people are like us" (made more winsome by the loud yet truly small 1960s counterculture).

"Justice was served to Kermit Gosnell today, and he will pay the price for the atrocities he committed," said Ilyse Hogue, president of Naral Pro-Choice America. "Anti-choice politicians, and their unrelenting efforts to deny women access to safe and legal abortion care, will only drive more women to back-alley butchers like Kermit Gosnell."

Leahy reportedly has prepared amendments that would recognize same-sex companions. The letter from these church leaders pledged they would be "strongly opposed by many in our communities who would be otherwise sympathetic or even enthusiastic about the benefits of immigration reform."
