The reason I wanted to post this item (I apologize to everyone that I did not have a proper link) was because I knew we were heading down this road and it is very frightening to me. To think that a preacher could be in jeopardy for preaching what the Bible teaches us should give us all pause to consider the ramifications of where this could lead.

However, I consider the word "fag" a vulgarity and I try to maintain a higher standard in my communications. I believe we are to love people and speak the truth in love, as the Scriptures teach us. Please try and be a little kinder dear sir/madam.

"it is very frightening to me"

As it should be. They (meaning the liberals/socialists) have already either censored or "politically corrected" many great works of literature. They have raped our society and mocked our sacred traditions. They have murdered millions of innocents without a thought for the consequences. They have turned their attention to the corruption of our children and the removal of God from the public eye. It is not a stretch to think they will be working to outlaw the Bible. It is the one bastion of truth that stands impervious to their onslaught of decadence.

As for the words used to describe them, I refuse to use words that will dignify what they do. I will not call them "gay" because that is a word they have hijacked and made ugly, not to mention the fact that it is a misnomer. I don't believe they are in any way "gay" in the real sense of the word. I believe they are some of the most wretched and miserable creatures on earth. What they do is ugly and perverse, so I have no problem with using ugly words to highlight that fact. Calling them homosexuals, deviants and perverts is about the extent to which I can sanitize the words I use to describe them, and all the more as their militant, in your face demands for acceptance of the unacceptable and normalization of the abnormal mushroom and contaminate every part of our cultural discourse. Yes, God loves the sinner, but God hates the sin. God uses shame to bring sinners to repentance. We are talking about people who are proud of their sin, who wallow in it and want to spread it around and involve others in it. We are talking about individuals, many of whom God has given over to a reprobate mind. They will never turn back to Him. I'm not saying that is true of all homosexuals, but for those of whom it is true, they are a cancer on our land and our society and will destroy us as surely as Sodom was destroyed. If we would truly show them God's love, we would not in any way accept them in their sin, but always call them to repentence and warn them of the wages of their sin. "Tolerance" of their "lifestyle" is the ultimate hate crime because we see them on their way to hell and fail to warn them. Most people wouldn't think twice before warning someone who was about to step out in front of a fast moving vehicle because we would recognize the threat to the person's life and want to avert them from the danger, and yet we often seem to fail to grasp that an individual's eternal life is of even greater import, and yet somehow we hesitate to sound the warning, preferring to make them comfortable in their sin.

Fags I said, and fags I mean. Fag is a kind word; I could call them very nasty things, yet I refrain.
