If people find that controversial, then I would just<br \/>\nrefer them to the Sermon on the Mount, which I think is, in my mind,<br \/>\nfor my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans. That&#8217;s my<br \/>\nview. But we can have a respectful disagreement on that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Well maybe he is thinking of the Sermon on<br \/>\nthe Brokeback Mount.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\"><a\nhref=\"http:\/\/www.getreligion.org\/?p=3240\" target=\"_blank\">As<br \/>\nGetReligion notes<\/a> several news outlets<br \/>\ntry to figure out what part of the Sermon on the Mount he was<br \/>\nreferencing and they came up with a different scripture.<br \/>\n&nbsp;Seems that they might have asked his campaign that question.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Barack takes the &nbsp;same strange<br \/>\napproach that several others have taken. &nbsp;That is support of<br \/>\ncivil unions and not same-sex marriage. &nbsp;There is not much<br \/>\nsupport of same-marriage within the black community and surely he knows<br \/>\nthis. &nbsp;But this position as a self-proclaimed Christian is<br \/>\nthat&nbsp;he is denying that homosexuals can get married so he must<br \/>\nbe endorsing homosexual fornication. &nbsp;Yeah there is a lot of<br \/>\nscriptural references in support of fornication. This surely can&#8217;t make<br \/>\nhomosexual activists happy since they claim that homosexual couples are<br \/>\nexactly the same as a heterosexual couple and in effect Obama is<br \/>\ndenying this. &nbsp;Or maybe they understand that this is just<br \/>\npolitical talk and accept that he is being disingenuous on this issue.<br \/>\n&nbsp;In fact just three days ago he said in a long letter to the<br \/>\nhomosexual community.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article\">&#8220;As your President, I will use the<br \/>\nbully<br \/>\npulpit to urge states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in<br \/>\ntheir family and adoption laws,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;I personally believe that<br \/>\ncivil unions represent the best way to secure that equal treatment. But<br \/>\nI also believe that the federal government should not stand in the way<br \/>\nof states that want to decide on their own how best to pursue equality<br \/>\nfor gay and lesbian couples &#8212; whether that means a domestic<br \/>\npartnership, a civil union, or a civil marriage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">I am shocked, &nbsp;shocked I tell<br \/>\nyou. &nbsp;To one audience he says one thing about homosexual<br \/>\nmarriage and says something different to another. &nbsp;Just ignore<br \/>\nthis and repeat the mantra &#8220;change we can believe in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Even stranger though is Obama calling the<br \/>\npassage in Romans that addresses homosexuality as obscure.<br \/>\n&nbsp;Rather ironic for a Protestant to call anything in Romans<br \/>\nobscure considering Martin Luther&#8217;s pretty much building Protestantism<br \/>\nfrom his faulty interpretation of an &#8220;obscure&#8221; passage in Romans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article\">Obama also defended his backing of<br \/>\nabortion rights.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[W]e should prevent it as much as possible by making sure that young<br \/>\npeople are engaging in responsible behavior and that we are encouraging<br \/>\nthe kinds of good decisions that prevent unwanted pregnancies and that<br \/>\nwe are encouraging adoption as an alternative,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But I think<br \/>\nthat at the bottom line is that in the end I think women, in<br \/>\nconsultation with their pastors, and their doctors and their family,<br \/>\nare in a better position to make these decisions than some bureaucrat<br \/>\nin Washington.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s my view. Again, I respect people who may disagree, but I<br \/>\ncertainly don&#8217;t think it makes me less Christian.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Yes support of the murder of the innocent<br \/>\ndoesn&#8217;t make someone less Christian. &nbsp;So much for &#8220;Whatever<br \/>\nyou do to the least of them, you do to me&#8221; or from the Sermon of the<br \/>\nMount &#8220;Blessed are the merciful.&#8221; &nbsp;Yes mercy is ripping apart<br \/>\ninfants in the womb with medical instruments. No support of murder of<br \/>\nthe innocent doesn&#8217;t make him less of a Christian, it makes him a bad<br \/>\nChristian who supports an intrinsic evil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">He is also once again taking up the<br \/>\n&#8220;trusting women to make their own decision&#8221; tact as he has done before.<br \/>\n&nbsp;Though I consider it ironic his bringing up a bureaucrat in<br \/>\nWashington when it was Judges and not the American people who brought<br \/>\nus legalized abortion in the first place. &nbsp;Hey let us let all<br \/>\nwomen who are currently in prison for murder or for any other crime<br \/>\nsince surely we can trust women to make these decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes like Nixon doing Disco is just like Democrats quoting scripture. &#8220;I believe in civil unions that allow a same-sex couple to visit each other in a hospital or transfer&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-punditry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3159"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3159\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
