1 | Why the spotlight on gays? | Prov 6:16 | Hank | 142408 | ||
Nelson - You ask two questions. You ask, "Why is there such hatred for homosexuals?" -- Is this a fact? Is there actually rampant and widespread hatred of homosexuals? I ask this because I am not so sure there is. For example, I am a member of a large church congregation, a Southern Baptist Church, and I am keenly unaware of any actual hatred of homosexuals among the congregants. We surely do believe that a practicing, impenitent homosexual is engaging in a sin which the Bible calls a perversion and soundly condemns. But I believe it would be inaccurate to say that we literally hate homosexuals, even though we abhor what they do. .... Your second question is, "Why is our society today so focused on homosexuality?" Perhaps it should be made the subject of inquiry to consider who is doing the bulk of the focusing. Is the spotlight not more in the hands of the homosexual than in the heterosexual community? Which is the more pro-active group and which group is waving more flags, making more noise, making more demands, insisting on special treatment and the enactment of special laws, including but not limited to redefining marriage, favorable to their own agenda and purposes? The spotlight has been turned on homosexuals, yes. But who turned it on? And who keeps its glaring beam burning incessantly? --Hank | ||||||

I encourage everyone to read this book; "Homosexuality and The Politics of Truth" by Dr. Jeffrey Satinover (ISBN# 0-8010-5625-X). He provides a well written discussion on a physical, psychological and spiritual point of view in regards to this behavior. He chronicles how the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1971 removed this illness from its list; even though evidence was overwhelmingly showing otherwise. Eyeopening for all believers who should reach out and share that healing and deliverance waits those caught in all sexual sin. "And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of God." 1 Corinthians 6:11 Thank you Lord Jesus! |
