So, the first gay church (FGC) in Malaysia has kicked off. Started by Rev. Ou Yang Wen Feng, the service held at Kuala Lumpur's Grand Olympic Hotel has sparked loads of protests, homophobia, 'Here We Stand'-ism, and the usual fire and brimstone (even before it got under way - but of course).
Christians - Malaysian ones, this time - will once again excel at something they should not be excelling at: Telling others how wrong they are.
It's wonderful we're not burning people anymore. But this doesn't mean we've stopped inflicting scars and throwing mud (or is it burning tar, as per Sodom & Gomorrah?)
Maybe now it's a great time to ask what the guy in Transformers asked his dad: What would Jesus do? How did the King of Kings/Lord of Lords treat the marginalised, the outcasts, the 'weirdoes', sinners, etc.?
I bet He'd lead a few anti-homo campaigns, right? He put up loads of "Gays Are Disgusting" posters, right? He made a lot of "Is Truth Being Compromised?" speeches, eh? He went around persuading as many people to ban homosexual gatherings in their communities, didn't He?
Sure He did. That was the point of His kingdom, wasn't it? To convince the already marginalised that they better get their act together lest the true know-it-all "insider" group is corrupted and society as a whole crumbles because of them.
Jesus would, I bet, tell someone he or she is on the fringes of hell REGARDLESS of whether this person loved God and loved his neighbour and enemy, huh?
Oh, He wouldn't? Sure? Well, what would He do? Hmm...let's put ourselves in the shoes of some revisionists and see what they think. Okay, now according to these liberals, Jesus would do about three things:
1. Jesus would make SURE that He fully understood the struggles and pain of the homosexual
2. Jesus would make SURE that THEY (the gays) fully believed that He cared for them, that these 'faggots' would have no doubt that He loves them - period, as evidenced in the way He talked to them, talked about them, served them, sacrificed Himself for them, etc.
3. Jesus would defend them in the fairest and kindest ways possible even as He made His stance about morality and the kingdom of God very clear.
Ah, all those points are just liberal horse-talk. Better to get back to the absolute truth and our belief in an all-holy, all-glorious God who doesn't tolerate homosexuality and other such abberations in His design. Didn't the Bible say that homosexuals will never inherit the kingdom of God (1Cor 6:10)?
