Obama’s Christian Appointee Says Bible Teaching on Homosexuality Is ‘Not True’
CNSNews.com ^ | April 08, 2009 | Fred Lucas

Posted on 04/08/2009 4:25:15 AM PDT by Man50D

President Obama has named to his faith-based advisory council a self-professed Christian who holds that the New Testament's teaching that homosexual behavior is unnatural and wrong--which is found in St. Paul's letter to the Romans--“is not true."

The appointee, Harry Knox, has also said that Obama's decision to invite the Rev. Rick Warren to say a prayer at the Inauguration "tainted" the ceremony and that Pope Benedict XVI is a "discredited leader."

Harry Knox, a professed gay Christian who is director of the religion and faith program at the Human Rights Campaign, a homosexual rights group, was named to President Obama's Advisory Council on Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships on Monday. The advisory council gives federal grants to faith-based organizations.

Obama’s Christian Appointee ...???

Hmmmm, seems to me Barack has a real problem with historic Christianity. He seems to find "Christians" that only use their bibles for door stops and not for actual study.

Keep in mind Knox was appointed by someone who supports abortion and infanticide.

Obama seems compelled, in an OCD kinda way, to remind everybody that, “I won,” as often as he can.

And what’s up with him pushing homosexuals into our faces all the time?

Perhaps he’d like to take that up with the Bible’s author....

It has nothing to do with homosexual rights. It is one of many methods socialists have been using to destroy our Democratic Republic. One method is to destroy the foundation of society, the family.

As stated from the Communist Goals read into the 1963 Congressional record. Note goal 26.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

3 For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will reject the truth and chase after myths.

2 Timothy 4:3-4

Homosexuality and Natural don't equate. Without even saying it is wrong, you can't say it is “Natural”. Unless, nature doesn't want the species to procreate.

I don’t think Obama gets this from assiduous study of Commie literature (though he was versed enough in it at Harvard). It’s something that comes naturally to the schemes of fallen man.

I don’t think there is such a thing as a ‘gay’ Christian.

Yeah right. Here's just one verse on the subject:

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, (I Corinthians 6:9 NASV)

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, - New King James Version

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, - King James Version

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders - New International Version

Don't you know that evil people won't have a share in the blessings of God's kingdom? Don't fool yourselves! No one who is immoral or worships idols or is unfaithful in marriage or is a pervert or behaves like a homosexual - Contemporary English Version

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality - English Standard Version

No matter what version you use the meaning is clear. The Greek is ἀρσενοκοίτης (arsenokoitēs) - a compound of (ἄρσην a male; κοίτη a bed), the literal definition of arsenokoitēs is: one who lies with a male in a bed as with a female. Koitēs is the root of the Latin Coitus which means intercourse. It is a sexual term. There is just absolutely no getting around the meaning of this verse DESPITE what the perverted would seek to mistranslate. It is specific.

In other words for this fake heretic masquerading as a Christian to be correct he's going to have to trash I Cor. 6:9. But then again we know he's doing that with the entire Scriptures don't we???

Correct. These folks have started a new religion and still don’t know what to call it or themselves.

Not surprising for a Mudslime. By the way, when are he and the lovely Michelle going to get the dog they promised their kids???

I am interested in “conversation” with anyone that is looking into Bible prophecy and today’s events.
