For those who insist there is no "gay agenda" among believers in Christ, check out this brazen website called Gay Christian Online which features, not Scriptures, but photos of "Ben" the webmaster in every available inch of spare space - including half naked representations that show off his physique....
At first glance, one wonders why the site is called "Gay Christian Online" because Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ) and Scriptures are basically nowhere to be found. However, it is clear that the site is all about "Ben" the webmaster and his megalomaniac desire to be noticed. The man definitely idolizes himself.
The entire site seems to be filled with "fluff" and opinions that suggest "It's okay to be gay because Jesus loves you just as you are." He has even seen fit to post: "All Scriptures quoted herein are KJV modified gender neutral".
"Gender neutral"? "Modified"? When did Yahweh ever give us the right to modify the Bible? We at The Refiner's Fire asked Ben how he would modify the following:
Revelation 22: 18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, may God add to him the plagues which are written in this book. 19 If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. 20 He who testifies these things says, "Yes, I come quickly."
Of course, Ben never responded to our question. As a matter of fact, he blatantly ignored every question we posed and ultimately blocked our e-mails altogether. During our brief correspondence with him, however, it immediately became clear that he knows next to nothing about the Bible - and he quickly accused us of demonstrating "un-Christian" and judgmental behavior because we dared to question him. At first, Ben tried to placate us into thinking his website was attempting to lead people to Christ, and even insisted, "Once saved, God can deal with people in their sexuality, and bring it and them into agreement with God".
However, we quickly learned Ben's agenda is not to get others "saved and into agreement with God" but to show them it's "okay to be gay" - as seen the following correspondence forwarded to The Refiner's Fire by someone who had written to Ben to discuss the fact that he had come out of the "lifestyle" and was now a true follower of Christ. This was Ben's exact response, word for word:

hello,
thanks for writing me, and sharing. i appreciate it and you.
you are at war between your head and your heart. it is your heart which is the real deeper you, and it is there also that god, christ, and the holy spirit reside. your brain is just a computer that spits out what has been programmed into it. for whatever reasons, or whatever your background, your brain has received information and programming that being gay is wrong.
meanwhile, you heart, your real inner person wants to be and express itself. the two do not match. the goal of the christian is to retrain the brain to agree with the heart, and with christ living in your heart. the way you do that is by applying the single commandment given by christ, his law of love. if the idea, thought, belief, belief system, teaching, theory, choice, behavior, activity, action is love, then it will lead to your edification, build you up, and will be positive, healthy, and responsible for you to do and be. if not, then you should not do or be it.
most of life is not black and white, not singular and all the same, not robot clone copies. life is colorful and diverse. what determines if most of life is right or wrong is how you choose to use it, walk in it, be it. a person can be straight sexually, but not walk in that sexuality in ways that are love, ways that are edifying, positive, or healthy. if a person walks stupidly in his straight sexuality, no one seems to say in response that ALL expressions of straight sexuality are therefore wrong in all cases, all ways, all the time. but, that is what people do about gay sexuality.
you can walk in gay sexuality in ways which are love, or ways that are stupid. it is your choice. the same is true for everything else in your life. the key is to listen to jesus, follow his example, and use his law of love to make everything about you shine, be positive, healthy, responsible, and love. learn how, day by day, to walk in all aspects of your being, including your sexuality, in love. retrain that brain of yours to agree with your heart, bring your total self into harmony and balance by walking in love.
peace, ben

Does the above sound like someone who wants people to be "in agreement with God"? Our question is: what qualifies Ben to counsel homosexuals, in the first place? And exactly WHAT is Ben trying to do with his confusing and hard-to-navigate website that features half naked photos of himself? He is certainly not trying to bring people out of the lifestyle!
We attempted to reason with him, quoting Scriptures that clearly outline God's condemnation of homosexual sex and any other kind of immorality. We indicated that, by choosing to enter into "gay sex" he was deliberately going against the Word of the God, and that the Bible specificially tells us there is no sin sacrifice for willful and deliberate sinning.
We told Ben that, if he wants to engage in homosexual sex, then he must leave God and the Bible out of it because the Scriptures are clear that one cannot be Christian and actively gay at the same time. NO sexual immorality of any kind - be it hetero or homosexual - is condoned by God, no matter how much one attempts to twist the Bible. And since he is telling others that it's "okay to be gay and Christian" this means that, on Judgment Day, he will be held accountable for leading others astray....
We urge our readers to not only pray for Ben, but to take a good look at his ungodly site, and then write to webmaster Ben to let him know what GOD says about homosexuality! .
