Ugandan pastors blast Rick Warren for opposing anti-gay law

so the purpose driven writer is pro-gay ?
what else is new under the sun ?

 

What people do in their bedroom is no business of the government.

 

maybe so. but when what they do in the bedroom is something they want to ram down society's throat it becomes public business.

 

When this deviant behavior becomes public knowledge, then it is the business of the government.

 

pinoy, you might consider rephrasing your post in context of this thread.

 

No it doesn't. If gay people want to advertise that they're gay, that's a free speech issue.

 

Sorry bad joke.















:laugh:

 

No it isn't. The First Amendment guarantees free political speech. It does not protect profanity.

 

Gay marriage is a very political issue.

Oh, Rev. Mitchell, I'm so much of a libbie that I'm opposed to gay marriage and think homosexual acts are a sin.

 

Do you live in a cave? The agenda is to make society accept homosexuality as normal and good.

Have you noticed that

...anyone who thinks homosexuality is immoral is called a "homophobe" and has "narrow views?"

...books and magazines extolling gay behavior are easy to buy or find at the library, whereas before, they weren't?

...there are programs in schools to teach children that homosexuality is okay (this has been going on for over 10 yrs. in my area) and that gay marriage is okay?

...the more extreme and bizarre fringe of the gay culture is now more acceptable or at least not as shocking to people?

....that many once conservative churches (not to mention the liberal ones) accept homosexual couples as members, and more churches are ordaining them as ministers?

 

The issue in Uganda isn't about debating homosexuality, it's about the practice thereof.

 

Since Uganda is not part of the United States we cannot apply United States law or logic to this situation. Uganda is a sovereign nation and they must do what they think is best. They should not have asked Rick Warren to endorse their law and they should not be surprised that he refused to do so. After all, their new law would not pass muster under the United States constitution.

 

That is the kind of unBiblical logic that the Apostle Paul, and God Himself, warned against (Jer 1:6-8, 1Tim 4:12). Besides, you are in no place to determine (judge) who can and who cannot have "solid foundational beliefs".

 

==As a conservative, I realize that any law that allows the federal (or state) government to regulate private behavior will be used against Christians. You like these laws when they are aimed at perverts, but any law that allows the government access to your personal business will be used against you (and me) as a Christian. These type of laws are nothing but a slippery slop towards big brother and government control/monitering of every aspect of your life.

Homosexuality is a sin, but I don't want the American federal government going around monitoring what consenting adults are doing in their bedrooms. These laws may go after homosexuals first but mark my word these very same laws will be used against home Bible studies, Christian parents, Christian home schoolers, preachers, and Christian bloggers.

The situation in Uganda has no impact on me or America. Uganda is a separate, sovereign nation, and they must make their own laws. However in the United States I don't believe any such law should be in place. I believe in freedom of conscious. Even when that freedom is abused by perverts and liars to do wicked things.

==And the power you wish the government to have will only be used to push the very agenda you are rightly warning against. We must stand up to the violation of state's rights by standing on the Constitution. The Federal government does not, in any way, have the authority to force states to accept gay marriage (Amendment X).

 

==Prove it. You used a Christian's youth against him. How is that any different from what Paul commanded Timothy not to let others do to him?
