Tolerance for Sin?

Those who commit or tolerate sin wish others to tolerate
rather than condemn their sin. The head of the Richmond
County Democrat Party writes of tolerance for partisan and
illegal actions by Obama out of respect for the office of
the President of the United States. The reader only has
to read his letters and guest columns from 2001-2008 to
expose his hypocrisy.

The same hypocrisy is rampant among “pro-choice” and
“pro-homosexual” advocates. They ask for tolerance while
murders and sodomies are committed. But true believers
are to expose “deeds of the flesh” listed in Galations.
We are warned of the death-spiral waiting for those who
practise sin.

Consider a secular defense of marriage between a man and
a woman. The Census collects far more information than
it is legally required to collect. Consider their data
on poverty and unemployment. A significant sample of 75
million families reveals that families headed by a man
and a woman are least likely to be poor. A single parent –
even if college educated - is much more likely to be poor.
A girl who gets pregnant and drops out of school usually
condemns herself to a lifetime of poverty. She will be a
parasite on productive Americans – but she can vote for
politicians who offer her help – food, rent, health care,
money, etc.!

It is not sin for a man to prefer the friendship of men or
for a woman to prefer the friendship of women. It is sin
when the sexual barrier is crossed. This no different than
a married person having sex with anyone other than their
spouse. Both homosexuality and adultery are equal
abominations to the Lord.

As we turn away from our Judeo-Christian foundation, we
lose the moral anchor which has allowed us to be a nation
of laws and thereby prosper. Now everyone wants to be like
God deciding right and wrong and doing what is right “in
their own eyes.” That should sound familiar.
