The real issue is : Is homosexuality right or wrong. If wrong then why are people who believe this persecuted, ostracised, shunned , often denied academic advancement, degrees, positions, and appropriate honours for their accomplishments? If homosexuality is right or even neutral then why get in a flap about McCarrick et al? There is really no criticism that is serious except possibly misuse of time.
The message that needs to be told by laity, teachers, parents, religious and clergy is homosexuality and other perversions of the true purpose of sexuality is wrong, is evil and unless repented will lead to hell fire. Hell actually exists. Jesus believed it, taught it and went there for three days.
Here are some reasons why homosexuality is wrong:
1. The Bible says so.
2. The Church says so.
3. Natural Law says so.
4. Homosexual ( and Lesbian ) Acts are exploitative and are intrinsically bullying.
5. Homosexual acts are an expression of cruelty and hatred.
6. Since it is a perversion of sexuality the practitioners are never satisfied. It creates an appetite that cannot be met.
7. It is the philosophy and expression of the culture of death.
8. It does not create life but expresses and creates death, decay and limitations of growth.
9. It encourages a death mentality in other areas such as drugs, including and especially marijuana.
10. It creates a sense of lawlessness and rebellion for their own sake.
To teach that the act of homosexuality is wrong is very much part of the Gospel. The Gospel means Good News. If homosexuality is a sin then the person can repent, seek God’s forgiveness and eventually get rid of the habit and the desire. Like other sins the temptation may be there for a long time. Deliverance may be sudden and complete for some.
If people are told that they can’t get rid of homosexuality they are bound for life. If it is a condition like having pink skin then there is nothing to do but accept it or try to enjoy it. But God clearly says in the Old and New Testament that homosexuality is a sin. There is a cure for sin. It is accepting the price that Jesus paid at the Cross. Ergo the Good News is homosexuality is a sin. Christ is the cure for sin. Homosexuality can be cured by Christ. Pass on the word. Even say it from the pulpit and in the classroom. Gay

Jordan Peterson makes sense, some of the time
JMJ
April 08, 2018
I am on page 182 on Jordan Peterson’s 12 RULES FOR LIFE. I decided that I would read every word of his 370 page book before I wrote a word of criticism or praise.. Sorry I can’t stand it. I promise truly to myself and to the world that I will finish the book but , like one of his favourite yin and yang symbols nonsense and sense flows in and out of book in stark contrast to each other.
Some of his favourite words are myth, symbolic, millions or billions of years et c et c. But the one sentence that gagged me up to the point I had to grab my aging DELL was “ in the great and fundamental myths of ancient Egypt , the god Horus, often regarded as a precursor to Christ .......
I do not know about Horus but I do know about Christ. Not only that I know Christ.
In the Baltimore Catechism The first question is Who made you?A. God made you. It proceeds Q. Why did God make you? A...to know, love and serve Him and to be happy with Him in Heaven forever.”
Jordon’s problems start with not knowing the first few pages of the Catechism, or of Genesis or of the first pages of the Gospel of John. It’s like he arrived late in class and only got the fancy stuff that makes you sound erudite. He knows the actual words of the Bible very well . He even quotes the Book of Wisdom and Protestants don’t even know that one exists. But he can’t read without surfing. It’s like he says “ if I start really reading this Book and concentrate on It I’ll start really Believing in It. Then I’ll start talking as if Jesus Christ is real. Then my persona as an academic and intellectual will be lost and gone forever. Even my friends and allies will insist that I’ve gone too far.
Peterson knows the importance and significance of Genesis but because he is thoroughly entrenched in the Religion of Evolution he can’t take it straight. Everything to him has to be a myth that evolved through millions of years , that is a compilation of an amorphous committee spread throughout eons of continents, cultures and vertical time zones.
Then poof, Jordon starts making sense. When he’s faced with “ a two year old monster “ (his words) he gets it right. In short if there is a power struggle the adult better win. He even has experienced real cold. I think his home town is in the same latitude as Brabant Lake. Maybe he thinks that reality should be part of the debate on the myth of global warming. He gives us a real, useful and painful picture of a friend who lost his grasp of reality and thus lost his life by marijuana.
He is obsessed with real evil, the evil in us, in the world, in history but he has no coherent explanation and I think he knows it. If Genesis is only a compilation of myths then Genesis has no answers. But Peterson cannot accept that Genesis does have the explanation of evil. Perhaps he would use the old saw “but that is too simplistic.” Why a great many people read and listen to Peterson is because they are simplistic enough to trust their instinct on logic and illogic.
What is wrong with Peterson’s book is what is wrong with evolution which is an unscientific dogma without proof, that answers nothing. Evolution cannot explain evil and good. It can’t even explain why it matters. Evolution can’t explain why people sing and create music. Evolution can’t explain worship and why we need to worship. Evolution can’t explain evolution.
Jesus, Jordan, is Not androgynous . He is a real Man. When St. John says “ In the beginning was the Word”, he is saying that Jesus is the Word and the Creator. He is a real being who really exists, creates , lives. As the Baltimore Catechism states, our job is to know Him. Gay
