Just one more liberal trying to interpret the Bible in order to make his lifestyle, and others, acceptable. Its the PC version with no accountability to God or his Son. The danger in this is the movement to make their interpretation the acceptable one, as all others will be considered hate speech.
Great more hetrosexual bashing from the man who dislikes America.
The Nazis did more than that. They took over the Protestant churches (except for a persecuted remnant that did not bow to the anti-Christ). The Nazis tried to make the churches become little more than outlets for Nazi propaganda. A lot of real Christians who resisted this were sent to prison or concentration camps. For decades the authority of the Bible had been downgraded, so a lot of church leaders were well-prepared to let the Nazi pagans destroy what was left of Christianity.
Someday this guy is going to be out in his backyard getting drunk on cheap wine when he spies a hammer, and the rest is history.
Happens a lot in this class of human being.
The appointee, Harry Knox, a self-professed Christian 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." He has also said that Obama's decision to invite the Rev. Rick Warren to say a prayer at the Inauguration "tainted" the ceremony.

Knox said “... 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.”
Well Mr. Knox, how about if came directly from God’s mouth.
Read it and weep Mr. Knox.
Leviticus 20
1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying...13 If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.
22 You shall therefore keep all My statutes and all My judgments, and perform them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you out. 23 And you shall not walk in the statutes of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they commit all these things, and therefore I abhor them.
Deuteronomy 28:
15 But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:
27 The LORD will strike you with the boils of Egypt, with tumors, with the scab, and with the itch, from which you cannot be healed.
58 If you do not carefully observe all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name, THE LORD YOUR GOD,
59 then the LORD will bring upon you and your descendants extraordinary plaguesgreat and prolonged plaguesand serious and prolonged sicknesses. 60 Moreover He will bring back on you all the diseases of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cling to you. 61 Also every sickness and every plague, which is not written in this Book of the Law, will the LORD bring upon you until you are destroyed.
Now Mr. Knox consider this before you use the argument that Jesus negated the Old Testament Law remember what Jesus said
Matthew 5:
17 Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
And yes Jesus did fulfil the law in the sense that he executed the law: but he also admonished us in the next verses that the law would not be destroyed until all is fufilled, that being his crucifiction. Since Jesus was the Son of God he was the only person capable of fulfilling the law. Jesus then goes on to say
19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
So you can see Mr. Knox, that Jesus did fulfill all that was required of the law so that we could be saved by his grace, but in no way did he say that the abominations that you and the rest of your kind commit continually, even though you know they are sin, are ok to be continuted.
I hope you take your Bible back to where you bought it, and ask for a new one, because it is obvious that there are chapters missing out of the one you read.
Yassir Arafat notwithstanding.
Of course this is based on the current cultural definition of “Christian,” which is basically anyone who isn’t a Muslim or Jew, and thinks that Jesus was a swell guy.
Day after day the Obama admin is chipping away at the bulwark of democracy----all the solid enduring institutions that make us the nation we are, are being targeted for destruction.
THE NOTRE DAME OUTING IS RAHM'S PLAN TO CREATE CHAOS AMONG RELIGIONISTS............
The calculating, conniving Rahm trots out Obama anyplace where he can create chaos. Obedient Oba mechanically marches out on a round of public events, pressers, travels........robotically reading his speeches from a teleprompter. Rahm's motto is " A Rolling Obama Keeps His Numbers Up."
O's not running a gov't. He's running a reelection pastorate for worshipful Dems.
Messiah of the Church of Whatever Works For Me.
One can be a homosexual Christian or an active homosexual—but never both.
This thing thus speaks from the grave and is best ignored.
We need to marshall Black churchgoers to this abomination. Keep in mind Obama ran on his opposition to same-sex marriage.
Obama's base----Black churchgoers----vehemently oppose same-sex marriage----some switched to Republican in past years on that issue alone.
I always remember an essay Camille Paglia wrote—THE JOY OF PRESBYTERIAN SEX—condemning liberal churches and asking “Why do they even call themselves Christians when they don’t believe what the Bible clearly teaches?” We all know Camille is not a Christian, but she is intellectually honest as a historian (she emphasized that homosexual “marriage” has zero historical support and that those who want to do so should embrace Paganism instead of trying to subvert Christianity).
The Bible warns about self professed Christians like you....
I suppose too many people will "have to see it to believe it!"
Scary thought.
I’ve always been of the mind that those food cautions in the Bible came from the fact that shellfish and pork both spoiled fast in the dessert and was put in to keep people from dying of food poisioning in the days before refrigeration. I could be wrong and if I am then I’ll be there right next to you.
