Kazakhstan passed an anti-LGBT propaganda law in 2025. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev frequently condemns the Western-funded international campaign to impose LGBT ideology on other countries. “For decades, so-called democratic moral values, including LGBT, were imposed,” he stated in a speech to the National Congress last March. “This was done by international non-governmental funds and organizations.

. . . Critical theory can be seen as having its own understanding of creation and reality, its own understanding of sin and the human dilemma, and its own understanding of redemption, history, and eschatology. This is not to say that critical theory is somehow covertly Christian. Rather, it is to suggest that critical theory... Continue Reading

The Reformed Church, and including Roman Catholics, have upheld the position that there is only one people of God in the Bible—the Church.  The Church includes both Gentiles and Jews.
