Swiss Gay Group Files Criminal Complaint Against Catholic Bishop for Old Testament Speech

A gay rights group has filed a criminal complaint against a Roman Catholic bishop after he quoted Bible verses calling for gay people to be killed and said the passage made clear what Church policy was on homosexuality.

Vitus Huonder, the Catholic Bishop of the city of Chur in eastern Switzerland, made the speech on 31 July, during a debate on marriage and family organised by the German Catholic Forum in Fulda, Germany.

According to Swiss media reports, Huonder, 73, read out a passage from Leviticus 20:13: "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." His reading was followed by applause, before Huonder continued: "Both of these passages alone suffice to clarify unambiguously the church's position on homosexuality," according to a statement released by Pink Cross, an umbrella association for Swiss gay groups that is filing the complaint.

Pink Cross, supported by the Swiss Lesbian Organisation, argues that these comments amount to "inciting people to crime or violence," and handed a lawsuit to the public prosecutor of Canton Graubünden in eastern Switzerland on Monday. If found guilty, Huonder faces up to three years in prison.

OBEY GOD!
SEND 'EM TO HELL !

Homosexuals aren't "born that way".
They had to "Earn their REPROBATE MIND" by refusing God ~ not once, ~ not twice, ~ but THREE times!

You need to not only read, BUT STUDY this link
I especially agree with its last paragraph.

" The Church NEVER can and NEVER will give satisfaction—and the homosexualist knows it, for he knows the words against him are INERADICABLE—to the declared and impenitent homosexual,the person who, through an act of the vermiculate will,has identified his person with a sin,whether HE DEMANDS ACCEPTANCE OF HIS SINthrough "love," or VINDICATIONTHROUGH IDENTIFICATION OF HIS PERCEIVED ENEMIES AS BIGOTS. Whether HE PRESENTS HIMSELF as an object of love or indignation,what HE DEMANDS in either case IS ACCEPTANCEnot of the person,but OF THE SIN-bound and SIN-DEFINED person. HE DEMANDS the declaration of SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY thatTHERE IS NOTHING OBJECTIVELY DISORDERED about this BINDING OF MAN TO SIN,and ASSURANCE that THIS MONSTROUS AMALGAM can indeed ENTER the kingdom of heaven. This can NEVER HAPPEN among Christians UNTIL THEY ABANDON Christianity,WHICH IS AT WAR WITH EVERY SIN,and whose indelible constitutionplaces ALL PERVERSIONS of the perfect manAT THE MUZZLE of its canons. "

There will be NO HOMOSEXUALS ( NOT ONE ) in the afterlife.
They WILL BE ASHES UNDER the soles of your feet ! ! !

TO TOLERATE HOMOSEXUALS IS EVIL.

This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For it is written:

“ For whosoever shall commit ANY of these abominations,even the SOULS that commit themSHALL BE CUT OFF from among their people. ”

Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.

It was given by our Heavenly Father

Someone once asked

"Why are they

all so angry?"

The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE".

rep·ro·bate

ˈre-prə-ˌbāt

1. Not enduring proof or trial; not of standard purity or fineness; disallowed; rejected.

Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them.

Jer. 6

2. Abandoned in sin; lost to virtue or grace.

They profess that they know God, but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate.

Titus 1

3. Abandoned to error, or in apostasy. 2Tim. 3.

And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

will we OBEY

"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."

Note that Leviticus 20:11 likewise indicates that a man who sleeps with his father’s wife must be put to death. But that’s not what happened to the man who committed incest with his father’s wife in 1 Corinthians 5. Just as Matthew 18:15-17 shows us that Jesus taught that a congregation is not to have anything to do with unrepentant sinners, Paul accordingly told the Corinthians church to expel the sexual offender from the congregation instead of killing him.

So thanks to Jesus' death and resurrection, New Testament churches evidently handle sexual offenders differently than the ancient Israelites were commanded to.
