Who has a right to speak out about homosexuality after the Orlando Gay Bar massacre, and what should be said?

One-ism or Two-ism? Question 26: God
26. What does paganism say about God? The pagan conception of God varies somewhat. For some, there are many gods—not to be confused with a triune God—which are either dead humans, or nature spirits, or beings like humans but more powerful.

One-ism or Two-ism? Question 20-22: The Lie
20. How many truths do pagans say there are? Pagans generally hold that there is one basic truth or reality behind all the various versions of monism out there.

Clearly, no current political party has any right to lay claim to being the G.O.P, “God’s Own Party.” Traditionally, believers (myself included) have sought to avoid taking a public political stance in order both to respect the political choices of fellow believers […]
Cultural Warts or Faithful Servants
by Dr. Peter Jones | August 20, 2020According to recent polls, most young people “have graded Christianity, and so far, the grades aren’t looking good.” Young believers do not want the name “Christian” because of “the baggage that accompanies the label.” We all have baggage, but there is something very fishy going on here.
