Acknowleding the strides that genetic science is making in identifying and isolating genetic abnormalities, defects and diseases, Mohler embraces this advance in medical science as yet another tool in the war to root out and cleanse sin.”

I am at a loss for words.  It looks like gays NEED special protection from that kind of “Christian” thinking… it’s eugenics all over again..

Think of it as stopping someone from stoning a woman for being socially unacceptable. [I’ve heard a story to that effect.]

The ONLY reason the SBC opposes this legislation is due to their inordinate preoccupation with homosexuality, which they use as leverage to gain political and social clout.

This is today’s equivalent of Christianity’s condemnation of the early astronomers who dared posit that the earth revolved around the sun. [which took some five centuries to correct]

The absurdity of ‘Dr’ Mohler’s statements are evident to anyone whose age has not numerically surpassed his IQ.

Matthew 7:1-5 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”

Obviously here Christ tells us to judge, but reminds us that we will be judged in the same manner with which we judge others.  You can read the following verses to realize that Scripture is clear in the fact that Christians should judge.

Continued in another post…

John 7:24 “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”

1 Cor. 2:15 “But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.”

All Scripture referenced came from the NKJV.

I do agree that many judge in unbiblical ways, but that does not change what is right and what is wrong.  Logically carried out the way of thinking outlined in the previous comment would excuse all wrong behavior.

Thanks.

One needs wise discernment when proclaiming how others should live and love, and frequently the wisest voice is the silent one.

How do you know that I haven’t walked in your shoes?  You don’t, and I don’t think you care if I have or have not.  This arguement can hold true for any behavior and therefore it is not logical to hold such a view.

Silence helps to ease a guilty mind, the facts make one realize his/her shortcomings and wrong doings.  I am not trying to change your mind, I am just asking that you don’t use Scripture in the wrong context just to advance your position.

Thanks.

‘Logic’ may be a road you shouldn’t go down! Don’t try to pass off ‘faith’ as ‘fact’; the two are NOT interchangeable.

“..the facts make one realize his/her shortcomings and wrong doings.”

Which ‘facts’ would those be? You have cited none.

“ I am just asking that you don’t use Scripture in the wrong context just to advance your position”
