Take a listen. It\u2019s only a couple of minutes. She compares gay love to the kidnapper\/rapist Ariel Castro\u2019s rape and torture of his victims. Ya.<\/p>\n<p>The argument goes like this: the bible tells us what is sexually right. It also tells us what love is. A pedophile might say he loves his victim. But that\u2019s not biblical. So when a gay person says he loves his partner, that is the same kind of love the pedophile is speaking about because it\u2019s not biblical. Therefore gay love is wrong. Ya.<\/p>\n<p>Have these people ever heard the word \u201cconsensual\u201d when it comes to love? No.<\/p>\n<p>Lutzer also talks about the confusion we are passing on to our children because of same-sex marriage, etcetera. Perhaps the confusion is coming from trying to chain our children to an ancient worldview, sexuality and morals?<\/p>\n<p>He also talks about what true love is according to the bible and the traditional church. But many people don\u2019t see the bible or the church as a shining example of what true love is.<\/p>\n<p>I suggest that it is not only fruitless but unnecessary for the LGBT community to go to the bible for chapter and verse advocacy or support. <em>Unless<\/em> we are using the broad hermeneutic of love and justice! <em>Then<\/em> one can find total advocacy and support for equality, freedom and love.<\/p>\n<p>Like this cartoon: there\u2019s no bible anywhere in the picture.
