Apple Removes Christian App For Being Anti-gay by TheSaxophonist: 6:55am On Dec 30, 2018
Apple has removed a Christian ministry’s app from its store after LGBT supporters said the app was “dangerous” and “bigoted.”

Living Hope Ministries created the app about three years ago.

The gay rights group, Truth Wins Out, however, filed a petition at Change.org saying the app was “hateful.”

“The app falsely portrays being gay as an ‘addiction’, ‘sickness’, and ‘sin,'” the petition said.

After the decision, Truth Wins Out executive director Wayne Besen said Apple did “the right thing.”

“We thank Apple for exemplifying corporate responsibility and taking swift action to remove a dangerous app that stigmatizes and demeans LGBT people,” he said.

Ricky Chalette, executive director of Living Hope Ministries, however, says the ministry is “saddened” about the decision to remove the app.

“Regardless of their decision we will continue to make the app and our services available to those who seek them,” he said.

“We are a ministry that for nearly 30 years has helped individuals resolve their feelings they deem incongruent with their faith,” he said. “We help people deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ through Bible study and accountability. We walk with them to align their lives with the teachings of Jesus Christ.

The App is a christian app, for Christians.

Well then the Christian app should have focused on its Christian stuff instead of denigrating the LGBTI community. If they never mentioned the LGBTIs, those ones wouldn't have sued.

Why would God allow the spirit of the Antichrist to rule his creation? This is like allowing Shekau to be the president of Nigeria. It seems like a very bad decision to me. What am I not understanding?

Then, why do hypocritical Christians complain when it is evident that the Antichrist must rule. This same Christians sing, dance and party with worldly music and things, move with evil and diabolical polictians, and do all the bad things that worldly people do, yet shout here and there about Antichrist... Everybody is an Antichrist for hypocritical Christians, even the Pope who is epitome of Christianity... Most Christians are simply deranged

Let's set the record straight. A Christian is different from a church goer. What makes a person a Christian is living a life pleasing to God not man. A Christian is a person that is different from the world. Hence your assertion about Christians are wrong as those are church goers
