Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital

An Insidious Threat

Apr 16, 2019

 

Last week we told you about one of the most dangerous bills to ever come out of Congress.

HR 5, the so-called 'Equality Act,' forces the adoption of a radical LGBT agenda that threatens every church, school, college, and religious organization in America. And appears likely the bill will pass in the House of Representatives.

HR 5 directly endangers not only our mission at Faith & Liberty, it threatens our very existence!

This bill elevates "sexual orientation and gender identity" to the same level of protection as race. What you cannot do legally regarding race, you will not be able to do legally regarding LGBT, and there is no exemption for churches and religious organizations!

If HR 5 becomes law, it will --

  • Allow men in women's private area, like bathrooms, showers, dressing rooms, shelters, and more. Again, this also includes every church!
  • Allow boys and men to demand to be with women in overnight events where housing or hotels are provided for sporting, academic, or mission trips.
  • Cause non-complying churches, schools, and nonprofits to lose tax-exemption.
  • Cause colleges to lose accreditation, which will be the death of Christian schools.
  • Allow men pretending to be women (and vice versa) to demand the right to teach in churches, schools, and daycare centers.
  • Ban counselors from providing and everyone (including adults) from receiving any counsel to overcome unwanted same-sex attraction, behavior, or identity. This bill literally sets the stage for banning the Bible, which offers the power to free those wanting to turn away from homosexual conduct.
  • Require churches to allow same-sex weddings if the church is open for weddings between a man and a woman.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the spiritual, social, and moral damage our nation will face if HR 5 becomes law.

And remember, there is NO RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION to this bill! Shockingly, HR 5 expressly states that the free exercise of religion is not a defense.

Ministers of the Gospel and people of faith cannot sit idly by while this insidious legislation makes its way through Congress!
