Northern Ireland's first lady accused of hate crime
Iris Robinson, considered Northern Ireland's first lady as the wife of First Minister Peter Robinson, has been accused of "hate crimes" and is facing both a police investigation and the possibility of a civil complaint, according to reports.
A report in An Phoblacht, an online political weekly in Ireland, said Robinson had been invited onto the BBC Radio Ulster's "The Stephen Nolan Show" to talk about a recent physical assault on a homosexual by a team of thugs described by the reporter as "gay-bashing."
She condemned the violence, then described homosexuality as "disgusting, nauseous, shamefully wicked and vile," and said, "It's an abomination."...
1 John 5:16-17 . 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
Luke 12:47-48 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. SIN is NOT all the same...
While it is wrong to tell even a little “white” lie, for this makes a mockery of God who is Truth, this cannot compare to deliberately taking the life of someone created in God’s image. To equate a white lie with murder or alcoholism with infanticide is ridiculous. We can see that God does not regard all sin the same way in the laws of the Old Testament. We see, for example, that the consequences of stealing are not as grave as the consequences of killing.... Gal 3:24 the law was our schoolmaster...
In response to "still reforming"...I want to say that I agree that sin is sin is sin. But one of the things about homosexuality is that it is a sin against nature. Still a sin, yes, and God is no less able to deliver one from such perversion. But because it is a sin against what is natural (as opposed to sins like adultery or lying which aren't overtly against what is natural) there is usually an underlying rebellion indicating something very fundamental and critical has become "twisted" so that EVERYTHING else becomes twisted. Even to the point of skewing all truth beyond redemption (if that is possible). So I think it is the underlying rebellion that makes homosexuality stand out more.
Obviously Mrs Robinson spoke truth about sin and people will react strongly when confronted about sin. My concern though is when christians talk about homosexuality as if it is a SUPER SIN. I think we do a disservice to scripture and Christ when we isolate sins and speak against them very strongly, (rightfully so) but then do not speak out against other sins (gluttony, heterosexual sins- fornication, adultery, injustice) with the same zeal. This leaves the impession that Christians are more concerned about attacking gays than seeking to bring redemption in all areas of our culture. I would like to see all politicians speak about moral issues in a balanced way giving equal energy to sin that might even be in their party too. I pray for our polititans, especially the christians, that they would seek Christ above all, and be good ambassadors for His kingdom not just the United Kingdom. I pray they will speak truth in a loving and balanced way as well as boldly. May we show the world the whole gospel of Jesus, not just a moral gospel. I know it is must be very difficult to be a Christian polititian and I wish all the best for Mrs. Robinson.
The Sodomites and liberal left are mobilising calling for her blood. He that is in her is greater than he that is in the world.
Please find it in yourselves to email this woman on the DUP website to encourage her to standfast on biblical teachings. What other MP would have the strength and conviction to speak out against the filth that is undermining our society.
It isn't so long ago that Prime Minister Blair sent the corrupt sodomite Mandelson to Northern Ireland as Northern Ireland Secretary.
"She condemned the violence, then described homosexuality as "disgusting, nauseous, shamefully wicked and vile," and said, "It's an abomination.""
The lady of course, is absolutely correct. But todays evil society is clearly attacking and trying to muffle the Law and the Word of God. Which is a bit like trying to stop the wrath to come.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. (Jude)
