: Please read the attached article. Sounds pretty accurate. http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=28290
>>> According to Perry and the MCC's official website, for over 2,000 years, Christians including myself, have been interpreting the Bible wrong. <<<
Actually Perry and the MCC said nothing like that. BTY, JFYI, the christian church didn't rally start to condemn homosexuality until the 6th century. Did it take them 6 centuries to realize what arsenokoitai meant?
Then Bennet goes on to say *sarcastically* -
>>> The Bible is full of errors, from being copied, recopied and translated over and over again? <<<
This is a partial truth. Only a fool would say the bible does not have copyist errors. Bennett seems to be purposely twisting things around here.
>>> That homosexuality is not a sin in God's eyes ? but a twisted teaching of homophobic, misguided infallible men? <<<
That makes no sense. Misguided AND infallible? And again, that is partly true. God does not see homosexuality as a sin.
>>> * That all "so-called" references to homosexuality in the Bible actually refer to other terms ? not homosexuality at all?
* That Sodom and Gomorrah were not destroyed because of homosexuality ... but because the people didn't feed the poor and needy? <<<
Part true. I will duscuss Sodom in another thread.
>>> That Jonathan and David are the most famous gay lovers in the Bible ? a biblical story of hot, passionate gay romance, kissing, jealousy and sex? <<<
This seems to be true: "Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son-in-law a second time." ~ Sam. 18:21

>>> In the immoral days in which we live, homosexual men and women are grasping for every possible straw to get acceptance for their destructive, aberrant lifestyle.<<<
Fertilizer! How in God's name are homosexual relationships (NOT "life styles") destructive? It's not enough to simlpy assert it, one needs to show evidence to support ones claim.
This seems to be more of an irrational attack based on some terrible past experience Bennett went through.
>>> The secret gay agenda has infiltrated the media, Hollywood, the public schools, the government and, yes, now even religion. How sad to say homosexuals have gone as far as to try and hijack and pervert biblical Christianity and the Gospel of Jesus Christ ? all in the name of "gay sex." And America, we've let it happen.<<<
Secret gay agenda? Take the time to think about how ridiculous that sounds... it sounds like some paranoid conspiracy on the X-files- its not even as absurd as saying "monkies are planning on takig over the world to eat our brains".
There is NO "secret" gay agenda... the "agenda" is only to reach the goal of acheiving EQUAL, NOT SPECIAL, rights.
>>> As a man who once lived as a homosexual, my heart continually breaks for those lost in the web of the "gay" deception <<<
What deception?
>>> ? a life of sadness, loneliness, pain and even death. Yet a godly anger within me burns even more for those who have the gall and nerve to try and make my Lord and Saviour, the One who rescued me from the tentacles and grips of the homosexual lifestyle, into the "God of Gay." <<<
Homosexuals are sad, lonely, in pain and die from their relationships? Um, no, not really. How does one come up with such a conclusion?
A "godly" anger eh? I doubt that its godly in any way. Seems more like self-denial and self-hatred for what Bennett STILL is.
Bennett's whole article is just a lot of big talk without presenting any serious arguments.
I dont think its accurate in any way except for some of the sarcastic parts!
