It’s one thing to support gay marriage. It’s quite another for a
professed Christian to bear false witness about Christ to make the
point. That is why Joe Carter doesn’t mince words in an open letter to President Obama. Carter writes:
Implying that Jesus supports same-sex
marriage—and there really is no other way to interpret your statement—is
nothing short of blasphemous.
No, Mr. President, Jesus does not
support same-sex marriage. Even a liberal Christian like you should not
be able to make such an historically and theologically absurd claim with
a straight face. The history of Christian thought on sexual ethics from
the time of the stoning of Stephen to the Stonewall riots has been
consistent that engaging in homosexual behavior is strictly and clearly
prohibited by God’s Word…
To imply that Jesus would support
same-sex marriage is contemptible. I realize it probably won’t hurt you
come election time—too many Christians are more concerned about saving
your seat in the Oval Office than they are with slander against our
Savior—but I encourage you to repent of your blasphemy. Continue at Denny Burk
