Statist Abuse And Leninist Tyranny

State of Victoria Threatens Citizens

Victorian Preachers Could Soon be Imprisoned for Preaching Biblical Sexuality

Murray Campbell

As a Victorian, I have a moral obligation to report to authorities personal knowledge of alleged child abuse. As a pastor of a church, I have both a moral and legal duty to report knowledge of or suspicions of child abuse. Mandatory reporting is a social good. Even without the legal requirement, one’s natural concerns for a child’s wellbeing would automate contacting the police.

In Victoria, under new laws being proposed by the Andrews Government, I can be imprisoned for 12-18 months, for speaking up against the psychological and physical trauma inflicted upon children by gender warriors and dangerous medicos who work to change a child’s gender or sex.

Last year the Victorian Government revealed plans to ban conversion practices. While the original issue was gay conversion therapy, the scope has been broadened to include any and all sexualities, including transgenderism. In November, I exposed the biased and flawed reports upon which the Government is basing its definition. I also noted at the time that the proposed definition of conversion therapy is so broad that it includes normal Church preaching from the Bible where topics of sexuality are mentioned. Indeed, a Christian wedding could also fall foul for Christian Churches define marriage as exclusively between a man and a woman. In what would be an extraordinary attack on Christianity, an Australian State Government is arguing that Classical Christian teaching is harmful and can be banned.

Earlier in January, retired Judge of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia, Stuart Lindsay, wrote an article where he alerts Victorians to another serious implication of Government’s planned laws.

Sex Slavery and the Islamic State

by Mark Durie

Middle East Forum

Why does Islamic State's enslavement of women seem to appeal to potential recruits, and why is it not challenged more vigorously by mainstream Muslims? Jamie Walker, Middle East correspondent for The Australian, asked two critical questions in a recent article that discussed the involvement of two Australian citizens, Mohamed Elomar and Khaled Sharrouf, in Islamic State sex slavery. In 2014 Elomar purchased sex slaves, of whom four, all Yazidis, later escaped to a refugee camp, where the ABC caught up with them and interviewed them. Elomar had also boasted on Twitter that he had "1 of 7 Yehzidi slave girls for sale" at $2500 each.

Walker's questions were "why this debased appeal seems to be gaining traction with Islamic State's target audience, which increasingly includes women, and why it's not challenged more stridently in the public arena."

The Islamic State has given its own answer to the first question.

A Shame We All Must Bear

The Apostles Creed is arguably the most universal of all Christian creeds and confessions.  It is an organic creed, by which we mean that it was not written or constructed by any ecclesiastical body or one author or group of authors.  Very early in the history of the New Covenant, church congregations, separately and also co-operatively, developed what was called a rule of faith.  A rule was a summary of the salient points of Christian doctrine  and understood to be an accurate reflection of apostolic teaching.

It turned out that the the rules, as developed and used in churches from Italy, to North Africa, to Persia were pretty much all the same.  Over time the rules became the Rule--a commonly held statement of faith,  authenticated not so much by any ecclesiastical body, but by universal acceptance and use.
