Speaking at the Human Rights Campaigns annual Washington, DC dinner, Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Kaine butchered the Bible and made one of the most twisted arguments for same-sex marriage that youll ever hear. Yet the very article laying out his arguments described him as a devout Roman Catholic. How can this be?
Putting aside the obvious question of how Kaine could serve on a presidential ticket with the radically pro-abortion candidate Hillary Clinton indeed, he has already been challenged for saying he is both a traditional Catholic and a strong supporter of abortion Kaine raised further eyebrows when suggesting that the Catholic Church could one day change its position on same-sex marriage, just as he has done.
In support of his viewpoint, he cited Pope Franciss oft-quoted comment about gay Catholics (Who am I to judge?), failing to realize that the Pope was not sanctioning homosexual acts and relationships but rather saying, If someone is same-sex attracted and wants to be part of the Church, who am I to judge?
This is very different from saying, If two men are in love and want to have a romantic and sexual relationship, who am I to judge?
But I am not a Catholic, nor can I predict where the Roman Catholic Church will be in five or 50 years.
What I can say with certainty is that Sen. Kaines use of Genesis 1 to buttress his support of LGBT activism amounts to scriptural malpractrice.
He said, I think its going to change because my church also teaches me about a creator who, in the first chapter of Genesis, surveyed the entire world, including mankind, and said, It is very good.
And, he added, Who am I to challenge God for the beautiful diversity of the human family? I think were supposed to celebrate it, not challenge it.
Seriously? Kaine is going to Genesis 1 to argue for same-sex marriage, along with the larger LGBT agenda?
Allow me to give a helpful hint to the senator: Sir, although you will find no support for your position anywhere in the Bible, the worst place you can go to argue your case is Genesis.
It is in Genesis 1 that we see the importance of gender distinctions, as God creates humankind as male and female not as male, female, and an infinite number of variations, including agender, bigender, and third gender, along with multi-gender options like ambigender, bigender, blurgender, collgender, conflictgender, cosmicgender, crystagender, deliciagender, duragender, demiflux, domgender, fissgender, gemelgender, gendercluster, genderfluid, gendersea, genderfuzz, genderfractal, genderspiral, genderswirl, gendervex, gyaragender, libragender, ogligender, pangender, polygender, and trigender.
Is this what Kaine was referring when he spoke of the beautiful diversity of the human family that we should celebrate?
Genesis 1 states the exact opposite.
It is also in Genesis 1 that God blesses His human creation with the words, be fruitful and multiply, and it is only heterosexuals, by design, who can do this. Thats why, to this moment, no homosexual couple has ever been blessed by God with the ability to procreate by themselves.
This sets the pattern for the rest of the Bible, where the only marital relationships blessed by God, without exception, are heterosexual, with the male and female being uniquely designed for one another biologically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Accordingly, it is based on Genesis 1 that Paul explains in Romans 1 that homosexual acts are contrary to nature meaning, contrary to Gods intended, natural plan for men and women.
And it is based on Genesis 1 that Jesus explains in Matthew 19 that marriage, as intended by God from the beginning, is the lifelong union of a man and a woman.
Does Sen. Kaine now have insight into Genesis 1 that not only escaped his own Catholic Church, but Jesus and Paul as well?
As for Kaines argument that when the Creator surveyed the entire world, including mankind [He] said, It is very good, meaning that homosexuality and bisexuality and more are all good he seems to have forgotten that very good was Gods description of His creation before the fall, when sin entered the world.
After the fall, His assessment changed dramatically to this: The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually (Genesis 6:5).
So much for the very good assessment applying to human nature today!
As expressed by Jesus, what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander (Matthew 15:18-19).
And note carefully that the Greek word for sexual immorality, porneia, is used in the plural here, referring to all sexual acts outside of marriage, which Jesus defined as the union of one man and one woman (see Matthew 19:4-6).
So, the very thing that Sen. Kaine wants to celebrate, the very diversity that he claims God established in creation, is the precise opposite of what God intended for His creation, as stated clearly in Genesis 1 and reaffirmed throughout the rest of the Bible, from Moses to Jesus to Paul.
Mrs. Clintons running mate would do well to submit his thinking to the Scriptures rather than twisting the Scriptures to fit his thinking.
It is the senator who must change, not the Word of God.
Jesuit. If they’re not crazy when they go into the seminary, they make them crazy while they are there.
What does a Catholic do when a Pope acts crazy and does and says crazy things?
Not like we get to vote.
is he a Jesuit?...
Is Biden?
Sure, he’s devout alright.
I’m sure his personal acts of piety are right up there with St. Louis or Thomas Moore.
Here is what Franklin Graham has to say about this:
Tim Kaine is hoping that the Catholic Church will turn its back on Gods Word and accept the sinful political whims of our culture. He says he has evolved in his beliefs about same-sex marriage and homosexuality. Well, his thinking, nor societys deteriorating moral attitudes, change the truth of Gods Holy Wordit never changes or evolves. Romans 1:18-32 is a picture of where we are todaytake a couple of minutes to read these verses. I appreciate the Catholic Church remaining very strong on moral issues through the years, and I pray they will be immovable on the teachings of the Bible. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever (Isaiah 40:8).

Romans 1: 18-32 NIV (read it and weep, Timmy) ......
Gods Wrath Against Sinful Humanity
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world Gods invisible qualitieshis eternal power and divine naturehave been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creatorwho is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know Gods righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
I struggle with that very same problem as well.
What does a Catholic do when a Pope acts crazy and does and says crazy things?
Not like we get to vote.
I find that so-called Christians who espouse idiotic ideas such as these know bupkis about what the Bible says.
I bet Tim Kaine is a sodomite. I bet he turns out just like Jim McGreevey.
Tim Kaine Liar/Jesuit/CIAOperative with Dark Past http://tinyurl.com/z5dwel4
Good read.
I read a Jesuit tract that sounded more like the Koran than a Christian writing. Scary stuff like “kill all non believers.”
Hillary is a “devout Methodist”, too!
Except when she talked about her Methodist faith at the Dim convention, it was all about “social justice”, with NO mention of Jesus Christ!!!!
I guess her Methodism strongly resembles Kaine’s Catholicism!
PHOOEY to both of them!!!!
He defined himself as roman catholic....not Christian. There is a difference.
I think your link is nutty.
“What does a Catholic do when a Pope acts crazy and does and says crazy things?”
Write down your concerns and nail them to the church door.
Or just use the mind God himself gave you, know that he is wrong and teach the kids this, never accept it when “leaders” say you are wrong....and endure for a better day.
Another JPII is out there somewhere.
I’ll wind up nailing my finger to the door :)
