Ugandan pastors blast Rick Warren for opposing anti-gay law

I can't answer for JohnV, but there should be no legal consequences for homosexual activity between consenting adults.

 

Even pedophiles?

Tripe. There is no such commandment.

Tripe.

Tripe. God has not given man the freedom to make immoral choices. That is not liberty, that is bondage.

Warren is simply pandering to Sodom.

 

. . . Why not?

 

No, they don't.

 

Are you familiar with RW's "P.E.A.C.E." Plan? Google it. RW has a grand plan for partnering with the "chief influencers" (and not necessarily Christians) in certain villages in some African countries to make things better. The problem is that it's not based on spreading the gospel as far as I know.

As far as I can see, this whole Ugandan mess with these pastors is a result of RW's plans to do his thing in Africa.

 

Because the role of government should be limited. In the United States, we are governed by the Constitution. I know you have no respect for the Constitution or rule of law, but in the real world we use it as a guide for our government as interpreted by the courts. In Lawrence v. Texas the Supreme Court ruled a Texas sodomy law unconstitutional.

 

You're on the right track, but limited to what?

We haven't been governed by the Constitution for decades.

If you understood what "the rule of law" means, you would agree with me.

I'm well aware of Sodom's perversion of the Constitution.

 

I am familiar with it, and have no problem with it. Members of our church volunteers at a local food bank, and the Gospel is not shared there. We are called to help others as believers as well as share the Gospel.

 

I've always held the position that private activities of individuals in the privacy of their own homes should not be regulated, or at least requlated with extreme caution. But debates of what should and shouldn't be regulated in the US isn't the issue of this thread. I certainly don't think it should be illegal for a person to take the Lord's name in vain in the privacy of his own home, even though taking the Lord's name in vain is expressly forbidden in the Commandments.

The thread here isn't about that. It's about the Ugandan legislation, which goes so far over the deep end to persecute people, that no discerning Christian should support it. Evef if one takes the position that the Ugandans can legislate as they see fit, there can be no reason to take issue with Warren's outpoken opposition to it.
