What the Bible Really Says About "Gays" - Garner Ted Armstrong - August 1977

Garner Ted Armstrong

TWO, four, six, eight! Gay is just as good as straight!" chant militant gays on the warpath for full legal acceptance of their life-style. Some homosexuals carry placards declaring, "God Loves Gays," and claim the gay life-style is neither deviant nor immoral. One gay activist recently said it was all right to be a "gay Christian" because Jesus Himself never spoke out against homosexuality. While most churches and pastors still hold to the opinion that homosexuality is a sin and offense against God and society, growing numbers of clerics feel "new insights" might compel a reexamination of this view. A Jesuit priest, speaking at a recent conference on the church and the homosexual, said: "There is no clear condemnation of the homosexual condition, and no universal condemnation of homosexual activity to be found anywhere in the Bible." Another priest, an admitted homosexual. said on another occasion : "I see my homosexuality as a gift from God." - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
