Since 1968, homosexual activists have increasingly challenged the traditional biblical view of homosexual behavior. The homosexual Christian movement, as it is called, began nearly 30 years ago when Troy Perry, a former Pentecostal minister and a practicing homosexual, founded the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches (UFMCC), the first pro-homosexual denomination. To date, the UFMCC has grown from one church with an original congregation of 12 to more than 300 churches with 42,000 members. Homosexual activists have since formed other denominations, such as the National Gay Pentecostal Alliance (NGPA), and have been active within many mainstream denominations.

Homosexual activists within the church are demanding that homosexuality be accepted and struck from the list of sins the church holds its parishioners accountable to.

ACTIVISM WITHIN THE CHURCH
Last updated 8/12/00

Mel White, a homosexual activist who operates a group called Soulforce, was quoted in the July 3 edition of Time magazine discussing denominations' stance on homosexuality: 'We don't debate anymore. You change your policies, or we're going to split you apart and leave." (from FNIF 7/17/00 "Pope Stand Against Homosexuality" by Lara mcGovern)
It is clear here that their plans are to split the church, which is contrary to what God would want. Paul wrote in 1Cor.chapter 1 vs10; "I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought." (New Internation Version)


HOW DOES THIS MOVEMENT IMPACT THE CHURCH

Source: "The Bible and Homosexuality", by Ben Irwin, FRC pocket policy.


SAMPLE TEACHING OF THE MOVEMENT:

Romans 1:26-27
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselve the due penalty for their perversion.
(New International Version)

Concerning the above scripture, Soulforce, a well known homosexual movement within the church teaches that; Paul was unaware of the distinction between sexual orientation, over which one has apparently very little choice, and sexual behavior, over which one does, and that Paul knew nothing of the modern psychosexual understanding of homosexuals as persons whose orientation is fixed early in life, or perhaps even genetically in some cases. For such person, having heterosexual relations would be acting contrary to nature, "leaving," "giving up" or exchanging" their natural sexual orientation for one that was unnatural to them.

Christianity teaches that Paul was inspired by God to write scripture, therefore it was not just Paul penning the book of Romans but God himself, through Paul. Soulforce is saying that man in all his knowledge and technology has found out something God did not know and must not believe the Bible to be the true word of God.
