What Happened to Leviticus 18:20?

January 27th, 201208:57 AM ET

By Kae Am

A friend of mine who read my recent articles pointed to this website. The author lists some hatred from a pseudo-Christian. There is this false belief that heterosexuals are somehow immune from sexual sin or that heterosexuals will go to Heaven just for being the way they are. While some people take this false belief to concl...

I had a post written condemning the hate of Westboro and discussing homosexuality, but I wanted to wait until the moment felt right to publish it. I have written a very recent post about GLBT equality, and I do not want to post about the same topic so soon after the previous one (unless the topic is celibacy, of course). Well, after reading a recen...
Is there GLBT equality in the eyes of God? The Sacrifice of Jesus and Multiple Contexts for Leviticus 18:22

There is this false belief that somehow heterosexuals are immune to sexual sin or are somehow automatically assigned to Heaven, just for being heterosexual. With this false belief in mind, some people conclude that homosexuals should also be assigned to Heaven, just for being the way they are. Both groups are prone to sin. Both groups can go to eit...
Tim Tebow and the Heavenly Gain

January 16th, 201205:49 AM ET

By Kae Am

Tim Tebow lost the football game, but that has no bearing upon what is truly significant - God's message of love and salvation. God has His reasons for what happened last Sunday. Perhaps Tebow needed to be humbled due to his many successes. Perhaps the numerous fans needed to realize that Tebow is not some idol but is merely ...
Two Problematic Quotes from the Experiment Pastor

January 14th, 201204:20 PM ET

By Kae Am

There are some things about what Ed and Lisa Young have to say that I like, and there are some things they say that I do not like. Take this one quote: "The sexual revolution [in society] started in the 60s – but it was an Illusion that caused some serious pollution. God's revolution is about pure sex." Now, I like the phrase that the 1960s...
Pastor Ed Young's Bed in the Church: Discussing Sex within the Church

January 13th, 201206:59 AM ET

By Kae Am

Well, this is indeed a bit strange. With God all things are possible; with humans, all manner of eccentricity is possible. Texas Pastor Ed Young and his wife are having a "bed-in" at their church, meaning that they will hoist a bed onto their church roof and stay in that bed to discuss with their congregation the joys of sex and problems of ma...
Empowered Woman: Mandisa as Ester in "Born for This" or Lady Gaga's striptease in "Bad Romance"?

There's a time to hold your tongue Time to keep your head down There's a time, but it's not now. Sometimes you gotta go, uninvited Sometimes you gotta speak when you don't have the floor Sometimes you gotta move when everybody else says you should stay No way, no, not today These are lyrics from the song "Born for This" by Mandis...
The Controversial Red Herring

January 02nd, 201207:57 AM ET

By Kae Am

Many new problems and controversies confront contemporary Christianity. The controversy regarding homosexuality is quite new. However, homosexuality itself is as old as biblical times. To understand how to handle this issue, we should look at what the Bible says. In today's culture, one side claims "this is just the way we are," while the other sid...
