# SERIES: FROM COUNTERFEIT LIGHT TO CHRIST ## ROSARIO CHAMPAGNE BUTTERFIELD — EPISODE 22, PART 4: SCRIPTURE AGAINST THE COUNTERFEIT --- Rosario Butterfield was a tenured professor of Queer Theory, a committed lesbian activist, and a skeptic who viewed Christians as "intellectually impaired." She tried to toss the Bible in the trash — she really tried. But the Bible kept confronting her. Here's what Scripture says about the worldview she once championed. --- **1. GOD CREATED MALE AND FEMALE** 📖 **Genesis 1:27** — *"God created man in his own image... male and female he created them."* ⚠️ **The Lie:** Gender and sexuality are socially constructed and fluid. ✝️ **The Truth:** God created humanity as male and female — this is a creation ordinance. **Rosario's former life:** She embraced the LGBTQ+ movement's view that identity is self-defined. Now she says: *"Do you have lesbian neighbors? No. You have neighbors — beloved image-bearers who have fallen into lusts of the flesh."* --- **2. HOMOSEXUALITY IS AN OUTWORKING OF SUPPRESSED TRUTH** 📖 **Romans 1:18-27** — *"They exchanged the truth of God for a lie... God gave them up to vile passions. Their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature... men burned in their lust toward one another."* ⚠️ **The Lie:** Homosexuality is a morally neutral expression of human diversity. ✝️ **The Truth:** It is a consequence of humanity's rebellion against God. **Rosario's former life:** She had always "dodged" Romans 1 — but she couldn't avoid it forever. Reading it caused her to think: *"For the first time in my life, I wondered if I was wrong."* --- **3. ALL HAVE SINNED** 📖 **Romans 3:23** — *"For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God."* ⚠️ **The Lie:** People are basically good and don't need a Savior. ✝️ **The Truth:** Everyone — regardless of identity — is a sinner in need of grace. **Rosario's former life:** She once believed she was "very wonderful, gay, and sinless... and in no real need of a Savior." She now testifies: *"My sin was unbelief — refusing the free offer of the gospel."* --- **4. REPENTANCE IS REQUIRED** 📖 **Acts 3:19** — *"Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out."* ⚠️ **The Lie:** You can be forgiven without turning from sin. ✝️ **The Truth:** Repentance and belief go together. **Rosario's former life:** She warns against a "half-gospel" that offers forgiveness without transformation. She came to Jesus *"open-handed and naked... with no dignity upon which to stand."* --- **5. YOUR BODY IS NOT YOUR OWN** 📖 **1 Corinthians 6:19-20** — *"Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit... You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body."* ⚠️ **The Lie:** Your body is self-owned — do whatever feels authentic. ✝️ **The Truth:** Your body belongs to God and must be used for His glory. **Rosario's former life:** She believed her body was her own to use as she pleased. Now she states: *"Homosexuality is a sinful deed of the flesh, not a permanent feature of any Christian's life."* --- **6. IN CHRIST, YOU ARE A NEW CREATION** 📖 **2 Corinthians 5:17** — *"If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away."* ⚠️ **The Lie:** Identity is fixed and cannot change. ✝️ **The Truth:** In Christ, your old identity passes away — you become someone new. **Rosario's former life:** She once believed her lesbian identity was permanent. Now she testifies: *"Conversion to Christ did not initially change my sexual attraction... What changed immediately was my heart and mind."* --- **7. THE BIBLE HAS THE RIGHT TO INTERROGATE YOU** 📖 **2 Timothy 3:16** — *"Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction."* ⚠️ **The Lie:** The Bible is a human document to be deconstructed. ✝️ **The Truth:** The Bible is God's Word — it has the right to interrogate your life. **Rosario's former life:** She read the Bible seven times trying to refute it. But *"the Bible got bigger inside me than I was."* She now says: *"The Bible knows you better than you know yourself."* --- **8. THE CROSS IS THE ONLY HOPE** 📖 **1 Corinthians 1:18** — *"The word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."* ⚠️ **The Lie:** Salvation comes through activism and social justice. ✝️ **The Truth:** Salvation comes only through the Cross. **Rosario's former life:** She devoted her life to political activism. Now she says: *"The only way to peace with God was through the Cross — the one Jesus died on and the one I was called to carry."* --- **THE BOTTOM LINE** The world offers identity without accountability. Christianity offers identity in Christ — with transformation, forgiveness, and hope. Rosario lost everything but the dog. But she gained Christ — and that was worth it all. *"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes."* — Romans 1:16 --- **Follow Rosario's ministry: @RosariaButterfield** **#FromCounterfeitLightToChrist #RosarioButterfield #UnlikelyConvert #Testimony #JesusSaves #QueerTheory #GabPro #Christian #WakeUp**
