Below is Eternity’s interview with Matt Prater, Pastor at New Hope Baptist Church and Vision radio presenter in Queensland. Matt challenged Kevin Rudd about same sex marriage on ABC’s Q&A [this past]…Monday September 2. John Sandeman interviewed Matt for Eternity….
Matt, what was your main concern in going on Q&A?
I felt a bit like Daniel in the lion’s den. It was a pretty hostile crowd. But I was able to share my view and I just think it is good to have a healthy robust discussion about this topic….
As for my question””I have just noticed so many Christian people disillusioned with Kevin because he has changed his view on what the Bible says about marriage and his quoting the Bible out of context. I said to him “Really, we have to get back to Jesus.”
Christianity is all about Jesus. And what did Jesus say about marriage? If this is what Jesus says about marriage, its good enough for me.
Read it all (and check out the links as well).
Reporting of this exchange in the UK press made it seem as if Rudd triumphed effortlessly. The old slavery comparison etc.
Looks like Rudd is going to get the boot in this week’s Oz elections according to the reports from there.
