SDA Issues - Fake Adventists

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;
that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; ... Isaiah 5:20
* "Adventist Today" is NOT a publication of the Church, but rather of rebellious members

"Here is part of what Adventist Today published in an article on August 4, 2019 and quoted in its entirety:
The Bible does not condemn committed homosexual
relationships, because it never contemplates such a thing. I was impressed by this statement from pastor and psychologist Dr. Smuts van Rooyen: “If you go beyond proof-texting, you’ll see that what the Bible authors opposed is homosexuality as a means of idol worship. … Every reference to homosexuality in the Bible has to do with pagan worship, not to loving, monogamous, and faithful persons who seek to live out the implications of the gospel as a faithful heterosexual couple would.”
This has got to be one of the most anti-intellectual, clueless and misleading statements I have read in a long time. We expect atheists and militant homosexual activists to express this kind of blatant Biblical illiteracy.

The truth is that the Bible doesn’t condone homosexuality; it denounces it:
Leviticus 18:22, 23Leviticus 20:13, 15, 16Deuteronomy 23:17Deuteronomy 27:21Judges 19:221 Kings 14:241 Kings 15:121 Kings 22:46; 2 Kings 23:7Romans 1:24, 26, 271 Corinthians 6:91 Timothy 1:9,10; Jude 1:7.
Homosexuality is not sanctioned by God in any context, pagan or Christian.

Dr. Smuts van Rooyen, who is quoted above by Adventist Today, is a former Seventh-day Adventist pastor who was fired from Andrews University."
