Speak For Yourself , Not For Jesus

Yesterday President Obama said he was in favour of same sex marriage and in the interview implied Jesus would be as well . Now here is the thing that really rubs me the wrong way . If the President wants to endorse or say he does not oppose same sex marriage and the redefining of an institution that goes back thousand of years ,he is free to do so . However implying that Jesus Christ would in anyway be involved in promoting the legitimization of  sexual sin is wrong and blasphemes our Lord .

For over almost 2000 years the Church has stood against sexual sin , be it sex outside the bonds of marriage , adultery , bestiality , incest and homosexuality . No where will one find any example in the gospels any words of Jesus that would hint or indicate He would condone what the word of God condemns . Jesus knew the scriptures , inside and out , He knew what the Torah taught concerning sodomy and same sex activities . He spoke often of upholding all of the Old testament  , calling it the word of God and how it cannot be broken . It simply does not exist and to hint or imply Jesus would be all right with wilful sinning and its promotion leaves me totally baffled .

However like many the President cheery picks words like love , do unto others to justify his delusional view of the Bible and a Jesus of His own making . By ignoring the whole of scripture and pulling brief sayings out of context one can make the Bible pretty much endorse anything . But the bottom line is very simple , the scripture leaves no wiggle room , sexual sin is anything outside of the covenant if marriage between a man and woman. Whatever Bible the President has most be like a Etch a Sketch , just shake it and any things you don't like disappear. His Jesus is a clay Jesus , that he molds in the way he likes .

These are going to be very tough times to hold to a biblical view of sexuality . To publicly say the homosexuality is sinful and any union between a man/man or woman/woman is evil in the sights of the Lord , is not going to be easy. You will be labelled as a homophobe , narrow minded and intolerant . Be ready to defend and speak with both meekness and boldness .


Excellent Book to read concerning this issue is Same Sex Controversy by James White & Jeffrey D. Niell
