Today I read the "Letters to the Editor" section on the newspaper. The heading is "Jesus set no bounds when he invited us to love one another." My heart sank when I read the first letter:
Contrary to the three letter-writers who expressed their opposition to same-sex love, the Bible does support all love, period.
The fact that a woman can fall in love with another woman, or a man with another man, is the lived experience of gay people worldwide.
Although we gay people are a minority in the human population, we are still part of God's good and diverse creation. And all love finds its source in God, our creator. Jesus Himself did not discriminate when he issued the invitation to "love one another."
Since all love knows no boundaries, the heterosexual majority does not have any monopoly on loving.
Anger and disappointment filled me as I read. How dare this person twist God's words... How dare him use God's very words in the Bible to put Him down! Genesis 1:27 says that God created both male and female. In verse 28 continued with God blessed to be fruitful and increase in number. This writer twisted God's creation by having a relationship with the same sex. This not only failed our purpose on reproduction, it's also against all the other commandments on love between husbands and wives. The Bible never gave directions for husbands to love their husbands as their own body. That's disgusting! This person also misinterpret "love without boundaries" that Jesus instructed us to do. He does not understand that this instruction tells us to love all mankind as brothers and sisters and to serve others without boundaries. Not the type of intimate relationship love that this person interpreted as.
God's words are being twisted slowly by the sins of this world each and everyday. The sad part is that there are so little to we can do to fix this. My wish is that one day God's glory and words may once again rule the earth.
*If I was to post this opinion onto the newspaper, I may get sued by being prejudice and end up in jail.*
