The sin of Sodom wasn’t ’sodomy’
02.28.10 | Permalink | 29 CommentsWell I didn’t say so. The prophet Ezekiel did:
“Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.” [Ezekiel 16:49]

Christian Post’s report of the Rony Tan ex-gay service in March 2009
02.25.10 | Permalink | 6 CommentsHere’s Christian Post’s report of that fateful miracle service [mirrored] on 2 March 2009. The title truly deserves an “Epic WTF Award”. Christian Post has since removed the story from its website but I think it’s good that we archive this. Can there be any misunderstanding or misinterpreting of what Rony Tan said that evening at [...]
