Forging a pro-gay, pro-life alliance

On October 8, 2004, writer and homosexual, Brian O’Leary Bennett wrote an article titled ‘Forging a pro-gay, pro-life alliance,’ in which he argues the point that, (as he believes,) those who are pro-life, should also be pro-gay. His main point is that he believes that someone is born gay, like someone is born with blonde hair or with brown skin. I disagree with many of his points in this article.

One point I disagree with is his statement that people are born gay. “…his broken promise to unborn gay and lesbian children. Paragraph 4” This reference is mentioned many other places in the article. A child is not born gay, homosexuality is a choice. Tony Horton, a former gay, has a website titled ‘Christians No Longer Gay Living for God.’ On his website is a quote saying “…Change is possible. No one is born gay. It is a perverted choice one makes. Why would God make anyone homosexual then bar them admittance into the kingdom of heaven? (www.thebible.net/cnlglfg/)” These kinds of beliefs go back to bible times; In 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 it says “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders

In Romans 1:27 it states “In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. The man said, ‘This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘women,’ for she was taken out of man. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanders nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. Chapter two describes how God created Adam from the dust of the ground and how woman was created from one of Adam’s ribs; “Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.

Also, in the book of Genesis is the story of Adam and Eve. ” How can someone be on an unchristian crusade against something that is unchristian? In Leviticus 18:22, it says “Do not lie with a man as one lies with a women; that is detestable. ” This explains how as Christians we have a responsibility to watch out for other people and fellow Christians and help them realize that they are sinning and help them through it, so that we fulfill the commandment in Matthew 28:19-20; “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you…” and bring all nations to Christ. They must be put to death, their blood on their own heads. ” This means that God views the acts of homosexuality as a sin, and therefore ‘unchristian.

Galatians 6:1-2 says “Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently… carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the way of Christ. If that is what they were, then after believing in Christ they were able to change and not make those choices anymore. It also states that they “received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion,” meaning that God punished them for their choices.

Another point that he has that I do not agree with is his statement that 4 pro-lifers are on an “unchristian crusade against lesbians and gays. God created male and female to become one flesh and one spirit.
