A Ministry in the Silent Void of Unconcern

Bible Truth For You is a ministry that enthusiastically embraces the Christian Fundamentalist perspective; that is, we believe that every word of the Bible is literally and totally true and are from God, accurately and faithfully recorded and preserved in the Received Text, which has authority over every person's life. God commands people to repent of sin, trust in the atoning work of God the Son Jesus Christ, believe and receive him as God. we are to be born anew in a new life by God the Holy Spirit and enter into a new and loving relationship with God. We should master his teaching from the Bible, pray, forsake the evil ways of this world, submit to God in all things, strive to live in purity and holiness, and live lives of love, empathy, charity, mercy, and understanding to all men, ministering God's truth so that they may be saved from destruction.

We do not embrace either right or left wing politics, capitalism or socialism, conservatism or liberalism, or any other system that has been invented by men. We advocate obedience to clear directives in the Bible from God for the conduct of every life and encourage every Christian to examine whether his beliefs are scriptural or merely very strong personal preferences. We believe that no Christian should ever elevate his preferences up to the same level as biblical doctrine or seek to teach or preach such opinions to others as God's Truth; such an act would be a sin before God and a denial of the gospel.

Fred Nile calls for State to stop funding Mardi Gras

Published 22 February, 2012 | By The Editor

SYDNEY, Australia – The Rev Hon Fred Nile MLC, Leader of the Christian Democratic Party, has called on the NSW Government to end State-funded apartheid based on sexual orientation and invest funds that would otherwise have been spent supporting the 2012 Sydney Mardi Gras Festival into infrastructure and services for the benefit of all.

“Our Premier has given personal assurances that his Government will provide significant support for the Sydney Mardi Gras. They will support the festival through funding, by paying the wages of attending Emergency Services personnel and by exempting the parade from the usual charges associated with running such events, said Rev Fred Nile.

“The justification for this, according to the Premier, is that the event provides ‘significant direct economic impact’. What the Premier fails to mention is that a ‘significant’ part of that ‘impact’ is retained within the homosexual community itself. Why should the majority suffer so that a minority can prance semi-naked down our streets – to watch illegal hardcore porn in public? Why isn’t the Government spending the much needed funds on Health, Education, Emergency Services, Transport and Energy Infrastructure? We call on the NSW Government to end this economic apartheid, this discrimination against the majority of hard working citizens who happen to be born heterosexual”, stated Rev Nile.

Rev Nile also submitted the following questions on notice to the Minister for Finance, the Hon Greg Pearce:

– Does the Minister acknowledge that the O’Farrell Government made a pre-election commitment to a greater degree of governmental transparency than that demonstrated by the former government?

– If so, will the Minister provide details of how much the Government and Destination NSW plans to spend in advertising and support for the 2012 Sydney Mardi Gras?

– Does the Minister acknowledge that the alleged revenue raised through the event is predominantly retained within the homosexual community?

– Can the Minister explain why the funds are not being invested for the benefit of all in Health, Education, Emergency Services, Transport or Energy Infrastructure?
