Amateur theologians show their ignorance.

 

All these liberal amateur theologians are beginning to get on my nerves. Steve Blanck of Mesquite is just the latest to twist, misquote, and misinterpret the scriptures to fit his own political agenda.

 

Steve says that he's searched the gospels and can't find where Jesus hated homosexuals. On that, we can agree. He can search the epistles and the Old Testament, though, and easily find where Jesus hates homosexuality. Steve says that "Jesus hated bankers and loved all others." On that, we can't agree. I can't even imagine where Steve came up with something so ludicrous. Guess he missed that part about God so loved the world. Or maybe I missed the part that says God so loved the world except for bankers -- and He hates them and can't wait to send them to hell.

 

Steve wants to know why we're so hung up on what happened in Sodom and Gomorrah. The answer is very simple, Steve. God thought it important enough to put it in the Bible. That means He has a message in it for us. I suspect that the message is not so much the sin itself, but the attitude toward the sin -- a failure to repent and the arrogance to think we can flagrantly violate God's laws and encourage others to do the same without consequence. We are in the era where evil is called good and good is called evil. Have you read that part, Steve?

 

I have to conclude that Steve has seldom, if ever, picked up a Bible. If he has, he certainly has some comprehension problems, and he is in no wise qualified to tell us what Jesus would do.
