ANOTHER PASTOR DEFENDS HATING GAY PEOPLE
viagra canada recipe times;”>
This past Saturday 20 September 2014, the Editor of the Nassau Guardian, wrote an editorial responding to Dr. Myles Munroe’s response to the unsuccessful “Gay Pride” celebration in Grand Bahama. The Editor’s response prompted the following response from yours truly:
Dear Mr. Dean, General Manager & Editor,
The Nassau Guardian
Sept. 21, 2014
Your editorial, “Gay Hysteria in the Bahamas,” in the Sept. 20, 2014 edition of your prestigious paper is quite interesting, to say the least, and quite confusing and enlightening at the same time. It well illustrates the prevailing current practice of stating assumptions as both main premises and final conclusions, thereby actually making them both false and illogical, especially when dealing with the issue of your editorial – homosexuality.
For instance, your assumed conclusion was that Dr. Myles Munroe’s verbal response to the Gay Pride issue was based on or at least, evidence of his “fear” of the homosexual and LGBT community. Why did you come to that conclusion, based as you say on his words? He simply voiced his opinion, which, ironically, you seem to at least imply that we should all have the right to express in our “secular democracy”. He did just that, and you called him “the leader of the band of the terrified” because of it. You implicitly labeled him as one who both “hates” and “fears” homosexuals – and all because he stated his “democratic right” that you so boldly profess to uphold.
Does this mean that you, and those of the LGBT COMMUNITY as well as otherwise, who disagree with “the traditional straight” position do so because they fear heterosexuals and are therefore “heterophobic?” Your assumed premise leads to these false conclusions. If its anyone who is arousing “gay hysteria,’ it is surely you, sir.
You, inadvertently, I’m sure, also validated and illustrated Dr. Munroe’s proposition that the equation of homosexuality to race and the civil rights movement is absolutely a false and improper use, logically speaking, of categories (Categorical fallacy). They just don’t belong to the same issue. Thus, all of your comments in that regard are mere verbiage lacking coherence and adds nothing to the subject except to confirm what you are trying to deny.
How I long to see – and perhaps, even be engaged in – some really substantial, truth-focused, fact-based discussion on this vital, current and relevant issue.
You sir, are in a wonderful position to lead such a discussion. You have a “bully pulpit.” I implore you to use it in a trustworthy, intellectual and “righteous’ manner.
Again, by way of emphasis, your underlying premise that those of us who hold a different view on homosexuality hate and fear homosexuals is decidedly erroneous!
We do of course, hate the sexual activity their way of life is based upon (sodomy), but we do not -at least I don’t- hate them! I hate sodomy as much as I hate fornication, adultery, incest, etc. but like our God, I/we love those who commit these evils nonetheless, and seek to show them, as we do everyone else in this fallen world, the redemptive love of Christ. His Word assures us that sinners of ALL stripes can be cleansed through His redemptive sacrifice. Here are His precise words to this end:
“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you

I have much more to say on this issue, but due to the limitation of this venue, that will have to wait for another time.
Thank you for your indulgence. You are appreciated for your service to our Bahamian Community.

Sir, your headline description me is absolutely erroneous. If there is anyone who promotes “hate speech,” it is you sir. If you objectively Compare your letter with mine, you will readily see that is true. We ( CHRISTIANS) seek to follow Jesus and His a Father (YHWH) re. hatred for sin while having love for the sinner. You use the “gun powder” word, “homophobic” simply for the purpose of invoking hatred from your readers toward those who disagree with your opinions. By doing this, as mentioned in my quoted letter, you automatically and according to your misguided logic, label yourself and those who agree with you, “Heterophobic.” Why not let’s dialogue about the issue itself. Is homosexuality basically and at its core, a choice of a particular way of engaging in a sexual act (sodomy), rather than an inherent, biological, usual/normal and genetic expression of a human being? Yes, there are genetic “mishaps” that result in “unusual” or “unnatural” results in a person’ life, but these are the exceptions, and in most cases, they can be corrected with proper care. It would be a travesty and a defiance of logic to call or recognize Thess exceptions as the norm. Let’s stop calling names to avoid dealing with facts and deal with them accordingly. I value your considered fact-based, logic and emotion-controlled response. SELAH!
