Quote Scripture correctly on issue of homosexuality

On May 31, 2012
Paul Richgels

To the editor:

Satan sometimes speaks to man by the misapplication of Scripture. We saw this happen when President Obama applied the Golden Rule to support his position on gay marriage.

Christ showed us the way to respond is to quote Scripture correctly (Luke 4). For God’s view on gay activity refer to Deuteronomy 22:5, Leviticus 18:22, 20:13. If we are to apply the Golden Rule to the sin of homosexuality, then what about bestiality, cannibalism, and pedophilia? (Leviticus 18:23, 20:15-16). I hope all would say, “ NO.”

I urge all Catholics to strongly oppose the homosexual agenda or it will go the way of abortion and become the law of the land until God has finally had enough (Leviticus 18:24-23).

Paul Richgels, De Forest
