It was one thing for President Obama to call for the legalization of same-sex marriage.
But it was quite another to say that it's Jesus who causes him to embrace this position. This reminds me of what he said a few months ago, on the issue of ObamaCare and the like: Jesus made him do it. I addressed that issue in another recent column.
On May 9, 2012, President Obama told Robin Roberts of ABC News that his position on gay relations has now evolved to the point that he thinks "same-sex couples should be able to get married."
Speaking of himself and his wife, the president said: "We're both practicing Christians and obviously this position may be considered to put us at odds with the views of others; but, you know, when we think about our faith, the thing at root that we think about is, not only Christ sacrificing Himself on our behalf, but it's also the Golden Rule, you know? Treat others the way you'd want to be treated."
It's certainly true that the Lord sacrificed Himself for us. And it's certainly true that Jesus was the first to articulate the Golden Rule. "Do to others as you would have them do to you, for this sums up the law and the prophets" (Matthew 7:12).
But there's a flaw in the Theologian-in-Chief's understanding. Citing the Old Testament, Jesus said, "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh" (Mark 10:7-8). One man. One woman.
Today people sometimes say that Jesus never condemned homosexuality. But He did when He condemned pornea (from which we get the word pornography). In Matthew 15:19, Jesus condemned a host of sins, one

No, as it is against His commandments.
No, as it is against his (our) Father’s Torah.
NO
Jesus Christ kept the WHOLE LAW. That included the law against a man lying with a man as with a woman and vice versa. He would not have taught people to break that law either. - Obama’s skating on thin ice trying to teach that even one jot or one tittle should be ignored. - O’s a vile man. I pray for him as Scripture teaches, but must admit it’s not looking good.
Approving unnatural use of sex organs would not be on bucket list of Jesus.
“We’re both practicing Christians.”
Well Barack,when you’re doe practicing and actualy understand what the Bible really says-ya’ll give us a call.
My computer is acting very weird today. I retract my comment because the writer is different from the one I was ridiculing. Sorry.
I would never except the charges if he called me, he always calls to collect.
Jesus said, ‘Fear Him (The Father God) who has authority to cast one into hell’. Messing with Gods Word and principles is a dangerous place to be yet so many choose that erroneous path. Yikes...
Sodom and Gomorrah tells it all.
Well folks it looks like the NAALCP goats have chosen to bow down immorally to King BOZer0 instead of the everlasting King Jesus. Choose ye whom you will serve.
Since sexual relations are designed for procreation, and you have to actually employ some means for it NOT to result in procreation, those sexual relations that will NEVER result in procreation cannot be put on the same footing as those that do. So the societal norms that involve procreation, and the families that result cannot be used to justify a sexual union that can't ever have the same results.
Now folks might say, But what about older people, or people who are sterile, for some reason, and can't have kids? Wouldn't that be the same as homosexual marriages in that they can't produce children of their own? No, because if those folks' biology was working properly, they COULD produce children. Even if all the parts in homosexuals were working perfectly, people of the same sex will NEVER be able to create a child together.
Just sayin'
Methinks they need more practice.
