With each passing year, advocates of the LGBTQ+ agenda are more vocal and more aggressive in advancing their cause while denouncing those who object. As has been his custom, President Biden issued a proclamation on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex Pride Month. His proclamation stated, “Advancing equality for the LGBTQI+ community is a top priority.”
Is this the last word because churches are becoming more accepting, because “drag queens” are allowed to read stories to children, because world governments, or specifically, a U.S. administration, makes it a “top priority”? Instead, what we should be asking is: What does the Bible say?
Joining Crosstalk to answer that question was Pastor Rick Rogers of Calvary Baptist Church in Sturtevant, Wisconsin. He’s a chaplain for law enforcement, is a former director of the Alpha Women’s Center and also previously served on the Board of Baptists for Life of Wisconsin.
Pastor Rogers began by noting how God has ordained 3 institutions: The family (Genesis 1), human governments (Genesis 9) and the Church of Jesus Christ. These were ordained for godliness, law and order. This is where Satan has been attacking the hardest. Pastor Rogers noted that if you dismantle those three, you’ve dismantled the foundation of the calling we have from the Lord. In other words, it’s a war against the natural order.
What about those who believe this is a genetic issue? If that’s the case, how can God condemn it? Pastor Rogers communicated that there are some things in genetics you just can’t prove and this is one of them. We see this by the fact that no “gay gene” has been found.
With all of the debate that goes on over this issue, is it possible that God and the Bible are ambiguous about it? Find out for yourself as Pastor Rogers looked at the Adamic Covenant, Romans 1, 1 Corinthians 6, the growing LGBTQ militancy and much more.
In the end, this subject is not about rights, inclusion, diversity, feelings and emotion. It’s about what God’s Word says. Discover what that is when you review this important edition of Crosstalk.
