\u2014Says<\/a> of transgender people: \u201cThe reality of human sinfulness explains why there are those who are deeply troubled and confused about something as fundamental as their gender and self-identity. The brokenness of the world also explains why there are entire ideologies, theories and systems of thought constructed by sinners in order to justify their sin.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Believes<\/a>: \u201cThe New Testament reveals that a homosexual sexual orientation, whatever its shape or causation, falls out of line with the Creator\u2019s purpose for humanity. All sinners who are saved by the Lord Jesus Christ know the need for the redemption of our bodies\u2014including our sexual selves. But those with a homosexual sexual orientation face another dimension to this reality: they also need a fundamental reordering of their sexual attraction. About this, the Bible is clear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Predicts: \u201cFinding a biological causation for homosexuality may also lead to the discovery of a \u2018cure\u2019 for the same phenomenon.<\/a>\u201c<\/p>\n

\u2014Says: \u201cIf a biological basis is found (for being gay), and if a prenatal test is then developed, and if a successful treatment to reverse the sexual orientation to heterosexual is ever developed, we would support its use as we should unapologetically support the use of any appropriate means<\/a> to avoid sexual temptation and the inevitable effects of sin.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Said the repeal of the discriminatory \u201cdon\u2019t ask, don\u2019t tell\u201d would \u201cpresent a clear and present threat to the religious liberty of those who wear the American uniform<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Claimed: \u201cThe earthquake in Haiti,<\/a> like every other earthly disaster, reminds us that creation groans under the weight of sin and the judgment of God.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u2014Compared gays to people suffering from cancer<\/a>: \u201cLiberal churches have redefined compassion to mean that the church changes its message to meet modern demands. They argue that to tell a homosexual he is a sinner is uncompassionate [sic<\/em>] and intolerant. This is like arguing that a physician is intolerant because he tells a patient she has cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n
