Melissa’s Cozy Teacup

Or, don’t get your scripture from t.v. The ladies on The View were discussing the bible this morning, and of course, getting it wrong. Whoopie said there was nothing in the bible that spoke out against homosexuality. She must not have ever read Leviticus or Romans. Just because it’s not in the ten commandments, doesn’t mean it is ok to do. This is where our country is, and will continue to head, in the direction of skewing the bible and twisting scripture so that it mimics our life style instead of the other way around. We are to conform into the image of Christ, not distort the image of Christ to justify our sin.

So, Whoopie, here is what the bible says about homosexuality. It’s not genetic.

Romans1:26-27

Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

Leviticus 18:22

22 ” ‘Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.

Here is a very good piece written by Terrence P. Jeffrey on Obama’s ‘Christian’ views. If you do not now what Obama has said, please take a moment to read this and be a bit more informed on what this man thinks and believes, especially if you are a Christian who is thinking about voting for him. Remember, when you vote for someone for president, you get all of their ideals and beliefs. If you agree with 10% of what he says, you are still getting 100% of his changes however unjust or unconstitutional they may be.
