Ex-Bob Jones president apologizes for 1980 anti-gay remarks
Washington Post ^ | March 23, 2015

“I’m sure this will be greatly misquoted,” Jones told The Associated Press in Washington in March 1980, “but it would not be a bad idea to bring the swift justice today that was brought in Israel’s day against murder and rape and homosexuality. I guarantee it would solve the problem post-haste if homosexuals were stoned, if murderers were immediately killed as the Bible commands.”

Jones said in his new statement that is not how he feels in his heart, but that he takes “personal ownership of this inflammatory rhetoric.”

What’s that they say about “Sorry” and bulldogs? He’s still white, Christian and heterosexual. The left can’t excuse that hat-trick.

I imagine it won’t be long in this country where that hat-trick earns a burning at the stake.

The rhetoric is already there if you look around and keep your ears open. Our lovely media feeds it constantly.

If I lived in a less lilly-white area, I’d carry constantly. I don’t anticipate the LGMBT whatever community to get violent any time soon, but I’d be reluctant to turn my back on a Muslim or an African-American yute if I liked in a city.

The thing is most Christians know this for what it is. No where does the Bible teach that we are to set up a theocratic state and “bring in the Kingdom”. Jesus never attempted it (he will of course upon His return) but told Pilot, “my Kingdom is not of this world…” Our own founders recognized this. Replacement theology (church replaces Israel) is largely the issue here. That teaching is totally bogus - however - more and more the left is going to use this kind of wacky stuff to attack real Biblical Christianity. Unfortunately today, they have lots of example to pick from.

White construction guy was killed about 2 weeks ago on a property I’d been doing some business on. He had gone to his boss to ask “permission” to CC on the job because the black gangs are out of control in that area of town.

Two thugs tried to break into his construction car and he was shot dead trying to stop them. CC means you carry on you, not leave it in your car.....

A good lesson learned I’d think.

Good grief. No leftist is going apologize for the millions of lies and deceptions and insults and treason they commit on a regular basis. Why bother?

The problem is Christians no longer warn about the wrath of God. Why go to Jesus for escape from His wrath when you don’t even believe His wrath is about to be unleashed? Take away the death penalty and that all get a trophy and you have taught that all are ok and there is no punishment for immorality.
