ArchivedHomosexuality: QuestionsI don't deny this, however, Christianity is not the only religious faith that says homosexuality is sin. I can attest from personal experience that much of the "homophobia" in the church is due more to lack of education, political aspirations of some in the political religious right, and the efforts of gay activists to redefine social and cultural mores established over millennia of civilization. Gay activism is using the same propaganda techniques used by the political religious right and then claiming foul when the encounter any opposition. The ex-gay movement is just one area they argue against with lies and a vehemence that belies their desire for understanding, when in fact the ex-gay movement is gay activisms unsought ally. Ex-gays have to teach ever-straights the truth about the development of gay desires in order to gain acceptance for themselves in any church. Morality cannot be legislated with any degree of success. Sexual orientation is none of the governments or the churches business and until the church faces their own lack of responsibility for the decline in heterosexual morality this debate will continue. Instead of finger pointing it is time both sides of this issue communicated with understanding for each other’s viewpoint. I personally oppose legalizing gay marriages, however, I do not oppose equal access under the law for ALL Americans regardless of race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. We live in a democracy, not a theocracy. We are a nation “of the people, by the people, and for the people” and gay men and lesbian women are people, not some sub-human species worthy of extermination. Christian’s are taught they do not have the right or authority to judge anyone outside the Body of Christ: We have every right even an obligation to counter gay theology (which teaches error, personal interpretation “2 Peter 1:20-21 20 But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. NAS” and heresy) with Biblical truth however those outside the church are God’s responsibility. We are also directed to teach the gospel and the U.S. Constitution gives us as much right to free speech as it does gay activists and it also forbids our Government from making laws that establish any religion that would include New Age, which by definition is a religion. |
