CNN's Don Lemon Tells Us What God Thinks, and Yes, It's Unhinged
Red State ^ | 03/15/2021 | Nick Arama

CNN has said a lot of crazy things over the past four years.

But one of the things that makes CNN special, in a bad sense of that word, is how imperial their hosts are; from Jake Tapper to Brian Stelter, they think they dictate the truth.

But Don Lemon may have taken the cake with his comments today. He apparently knows the mind of God and is telling us what God thinks.

Lemon was on The View with Meghan McCain discussing the comments made by the Pope about same-sex unions, as my colleague Streiff wrote about earlier today. Basically, the Pope was saying, according to that report, that the Church couldn’t bless same-sex unions. Not exactly breaking news, but a long-term Catholic stance.

Lemon, apparently the arbiter of religion now, said that the Catholic Church and other Churches really need to reexamine themselves and their teachings, because that is not what God is about.

CNN's Don Lemon reacts to the Vatican declaring that God cannot bless same-sex unions:

“God is not about hindering people or even judging people,” he exclaimed. He then went on to say that Jesus said, “Judge not lest ye be judged.” He then further dissed the Catholic Church and other religions suggesting that their views were due to them being somehow racist or not getting out and knowing others.

How many ways was this comment completely screwed up?

First, as we mentioned, there’s that CNN thinking — only they can expound on the truth. Imagine Lemon here is actually dictating to the Catholic Church and other churches, and then unfairly suggesting they’re racist in the bargain.

Second, not sanctioning same-sex unions in the Catholic Church is actually up to them, whether you agree with the decision or not. It isn’t about making a judgment on any person but on the question of whether they will recognize same-sex unions.

But perhaps the most astonishing thing is Lemon is going to tell us what God thinks and God isn’t about judging people? Really? When did God tell Don that? He’s mixed up Jesus’ comment about people not judging others and equated that to God not judging others. But what’s implicit in Jesus’ statement, “Judge not lest ye be judged,” is that there is a final judgment. Who does he think is making that judgment? Hint: it isn’t Don Lemon.

Of course God judges, he does that throughout the Old and New Testament if we’re talking about Catholic understanding. There’s that whole Heaven and Hell thing, remember? How does that happen? Maybe he needs to study what the Catholic Church or other Christian Churches actually think before trying to dictate to them or dictating the mind of God?

The Bible verse most often and most infamously yanked out of context by lefties, Matthew 7:1. Absolutely not about refraining from exercising judgment.

I seriously doubt Ms. Lemon is capable of reciting the Commandments and what they mean. He has absolutely no business other than sowing confusion among the confused.

Leviticus 18:22. Your arms are way too short to box with God Lemon. God does judge. Everyone. You as a sodomite will be judged most harshly.

We are to judge righteously and the same as we want to be judged. Even Jesus called two groups offspring of vipers. Sounds judgmental to me.

Once again, I will let the Bible speak for itself

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who [d]suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is [e]manifest [f]in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and [g]Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like [h]corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their [i]women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the [j]men, leaving the natural use of the [k]woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, [l]sexual immorality, wickedness, [m]covetousness, [n]maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 [o]undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, [p]unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

"God is not about hindering people or even judging people."

If he is presuming to speak for God he should know that the biblical punishment for being a false prophet is death.

“God is not about hindering people or even judging people.”


Then what is this Judgement Day I’ve been hearing about since I was in Sunday School?
