Loving my past lovers
Of late, I have been thinking a fair bit about the way that I first came out of the gay world and how I now feel about the men whom I had slept around with. There were so many of them I have lost count, but that does not diminish how I now feel about...
Can you be gay and Christian and go to heaven?
Can you be a profession Christian and, at the same time, a practising homosexual and still go to heaven? If a person is once saved, are they always saved, regardless of how (pure) they live their lives? These are significant questions, and they have been on many people’s lips over the past week around the globe...
Free men choosing to live as slaves
It has long been a standing question of whether or not a person can be gay and Christian. It is the position of Liberty Christian Ministries that homosexual practice is not healthy for those tho participate in it, either physically, emotionally, psychologically, mentally, socially, or spiritually. Its affects go beyond the mere individual and permeate through the rest of...

Was Jesus silent on homosexuality?
One of the many common arguments as to why homosexuality is ok, is because Jesus was supposedly silent on the subject. It’s an interesting, albeit weak, argument. Others are somewhat like it: Jesus never said anything about it explicitly. Why? Because Jesus doesn’t care about what people do with their bits and bobs when having...
From the pastoral worker (Oct. 11, 2011)
So often you hear it being said, “Being gay feels so natural to me, I must have been born this way”. A lot of people nod their heads at this because a great measure of their attraction seems innate. But does that mean that it is innate simply because it has been a part of...
Does a long-term gay relationship make it right?
Christian Man A (Jason): The Bible says that being gay is wrong. Gay Man B (Stephan): OK, prove it. Jason: Gay relationships are so promiscuous and they don’t last very long. There are also the health risks involved with gay sex. Stephan: Yes, for those who are living that club/bar/party life. But not everyone is....
Poor gay marriage argument by retired gay Australian judge
On August 31 2011, former Australian judge Michael Kirby (pictured left, admiring a picture of himself) argued in The Australian (“A union to make believers of us all”) that gay marriage is innocuous, and just something that civilised people do.

God is love: so can I love whomever I want?
Not long ago, I spoke at Sydney University on the issue of sexuality, and the convenor of the group drew up a list of questions which often get asked on the issue of homosexuality. I will attempt to answer them as thoroughly and faithfully as possible. Many questions of the questions revolved around the nature...
What if I am ‘born gay’? – 1
It is a question on many people’s minds and the follow-up questions typically tend to be “If I am born this gay does it legitimise or normalise my choice to be an actively gay person? If that is true, then is it also true that God therefore cannot judge me for living my life as...
