CHRISTIAN DUO WON’T TELL FOSTER KIDS HOMOSEXUALITY IS OK. DENIED FOSTER KIDS.

The British couple professes Christ as Savior and the Bible as their moral code. Therefore, they are denied taking care of foster children though in the past they have cared for foster care.

The social agency says the couple is biased and cannot be trusted, per Daily Mail’s David Wilkes.

This is outrageous discrimination against Christians. It must be stopped. It is taking liberalism to the devilish limits and then some. Where is the logic in being so mean to Christians and their biblical ethic?

“They are devoted foster parents with an unblemished record of caring for almost 20 vulnerable children.

“But Eunice and Owen Johns have now been stopped from continuing their good work because they refuse to tell children as young as ten that homosexuality is an acceptable lifestyle.

“To do so, they say, would go against their Christian beliefs. The devastated couple was rejected as foster parents by their council under the gay rights laws which came into force last April.

“The Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) makes it illegal for any business or organization providing a public service to discriminate against anyone because of their sexuality. The council says its fostering panel felt it would not be complying with the regulations if it placed a child with a couple who could not comply with the Act.

“The Johns’ case comes at a time when there is a chronic shortage of foster parents, who work on a voluntary basis. Around 8,000 more are needed nationally.”

These liberal agency personnel are simply not caring persons. They are into political correctness and have no real heart for taking care of boys and girls. They have an anti-Bible agenda and will see to it that those adhering to God’s Word are stepped on.

“The couple, who have four grown up children of their own, first became foster parents in 1996 and provided weekend respite care for 18 children over the next four years at their home in Derby.

“They gave up fostering when a catering business they ran became too time-consuming.

“They then re-applied to provide weekend respite foster care to children aged under ten when they felt they were able to devote themselves fully to the task again.

“Mrs Johns, 59, a Sunday school teacher, said: ‘We started going through the assessment and were told that there was new legislation. They were asking “What would you do if a 10 year-old child came home and said they had been picked on because they were homosexual?”

“’They said, “Do you know you would have to tell them that it’s ok to be homosexual?” But I said I couldn’t do that because my Christian beliefs won’t let me. Morally I couldn’t do that, spiritually I couldn’t do that.’”

At the same time Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams underwrites sharia, the Muslim so-called justice and legal system, as proper throughout Britain.

The Muslims push and shove to get their killing cultic ways. The Anglican leader supports the slice-and-dice of Islam.

But do we hear anything from the Archbishop in defense of biblical believers who are denied caring for foster children? I doubt it. It won’t surface, and everyone knows that. He’s in the liberal camp with agency personnel who despise Christians.

“The Johns are also being backed by the Mayor of Derby, Pauline Latham, who said: ‘I think they should be allowed to foster children, particularly when we are crying out for foster parents all the time.

“’In my view it is completely wrong. I just think the rules are getting really ridiculous.’

“Around 80 more foster carers are currently needed in Derby, the council estimates.

“Religious campaigners say Mr and Mrs Johns are the latest victims of an equality drive which puts gay rights above religious beliefs.

“Stephen Green, director of Christian Voice said: ‘The fostering service is in danger of losing an experienced Christian couple all for the sake of worshipping at the altar of diversity.’

“Sara Bolton, Derby City Council cabinet member for children and young people, said: ‘This is an unfortunate case. But these laws are in place for the good of the children in our care.

“’We need to treat everybody fairly because we’re looking after vulnerable children and therefore we need to keep strictly to the legislation and the policy.’”

ANTI-HOMOSEXUAL PASSAGES IN THE BIBLE

Leviticus 18:22: “You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.”

Leviticus 20:13: “If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.”

Romans 1:18-32: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. . .For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools. . .

“Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. . .

“For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire towards one another, men with men committed indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

“God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice. . .without understanding. . . and, although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.”

I Corinthians 6:9: “Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
