We Christians have been indirectly dragged into AWARE’s leadership coup. All because a group of Christian women who is against AWARE’s view on homosexuality and lesbianism.
Yes, the practice of homosexuality is biblically wrong. You can easily check this up in the Bible. I don’t support homosexuality but homosexuals are still people we have to accept and befriend them. It’s like “hate the sin but love the sinners”.
But, to stage a "coup" and taking over leadership in such a planned manner is like tricking Eve into eating the fruit of Knowledge of good and evil. This was what happened. Accordingly, the planner knows that AWARE’s annual general meeting usually has a poor turn-out (about 29 in one AGM according to her words) This is in ST report on April 25 page A22.
Jesus Christ was also against the ways of the Pharisees and the religious leaders during His time. On many occasions He spoke against them: “Woe to you! Scribes and Pharisees …”. But never once did He plan to take over the offices of the temple and Synagogue. Not only did He receive death threat, He died for it.
Yes, when Aware plan for such leadership takeover, likewise death threat is no surprising.
When we see something wrong, speak up! Talk about it! Write about it! Talk about the issues but don’t stage a division. God unites, Satan divides. Do things in the light, not in the dark.
The church during the 16th century also faced a lot of corruption. Martin Luther, who was a Catholic Monk and professor at Wittenburg in Germany spoke against it. His famous 95 Theses landed him in “hot soup”- imprisonment, assassination and expulsion from the church. Being branded as Protestant, that was how we Christians came to be.
