Obama Critical of ‘Old Values’ About Homosexuality

President Obama and his family were recently spotted leaving St. John’s Episcopal Church, yet Obama recently delivered the keynote address to the Human Rights Campaign in which he criticized people who hold to “old attitudes” about homosexuality. Obama also praised the passage of the homosexual hate crimes bill in the House last Thursday and said he was preparing to sign the bill in to law once it passes Congress. As followers of Christ, we are to hate the sin and love the sinner, but I have to question Obama’s apparent “buffet-style” belief in God’s word. All scripture is given for inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, according to 2 Timothy 3:16. That’s all scripture, not bits and pieces that are suitable for anyone’s unbiblical beliefs.

Hate Crimes Bill in House Could Extend to Cover Homosexuality

Update:  the hate crimes bill passed in the House.  Now on to the Senate with the expectation that President Obama will sign it into law prior to his keynote address at the Human Rights Campaign dinner, a homosexual advocacy group.

The hate crimes bill currently being voted on in the U.S. House of Representatives has a particular nuance that disturbs some members of the GOP: its coverage is extended to protect sexual orientation. The law, first enacted after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., would allow for federal prosecutors to intervene in cases of violence against homosexuals based on their sexual orientation. GOP members consider the religious protections afforded in the bill “flimsy,” and worry that pastors could be prosecuted if the content of their sermons could be tied back to an act of violence against a gay person.
