Article

I have hastened to write this article in response to the report of today’s debate in Stormont on the subject of ‘Conversion Therapy’. The position taken by the Free Presbyterian Church on this issue was set forth in an email circulated before the debate.

“At stake is the basic teaching on conversion to Christ. The motion before the Assembly does not define what conversion therapy is. The term conversion therapy is left deliberately broad by LGBT activists. There could be a move to count praying with someone who has asked for prayer on these matters as “conversion therapy”

The BBC report of the debate is most disturbing for it is clear that there is error both on the side of those opposing “conversion therapy”. and the DUP who is supposed to be defending gospel liberty.

As I say at the end of the article: “What darkness has descended upon our Province, once seen as a bastion of gospel truth. It is that no more!”
Please pray that this article will be read and do what you can to circulate it abroad. Read more…

Mr Jim Allister QC, MLA, (leader of the Traditional Unionist Voice party) speaking during the debate in the Stormont Assembly, Belfast on 20th April, where he opposed a motion to ‘Ban Conversion Therapy – in all its forms’, proposed by members of the Ulster Unionist Party. It was passed with the support of Sinn Fein/IRA and other Nationalists members.

There is a supportive intervention by Mr Jim Wells MLA.

The terms of this motion must be seen to include a call for a ban on the preaching of the gospel in its fulness!

Were the renowned evangelist, W P Nicholson, still alive I have no doubt he would have applied the epithet he so often used of those he upbraided for their modernistic attacks upon the Word of God with their ‘so-called’ advanced scientific knowledge and views, against Sir David Attenborough.

I cerainly will use that same nickname of the well known and much admired English broadcaster and natural historian. His television programmes are exceedingly interesting though blighted and spoiled by his oft-stated and laughable atheistic and evolutionary views.

The BBC has announced a new documentary by him. The announcement has the headline: Sir David Attenborough’s New Doc: ‘Humans Are Intruders’. Read more…
