"It is one thing to talk
about 'fairness' when it comes to allowing gays and lesbians to marry; it is
quite another to claim biblical authority for such relationships.
President Obama cited the
'Golden Rule' about treating others as you would like to be treated, but in
doing so he ignored the totality of Scripture and the Lord Himself, who alone
gets to set the rules for human behavior.
The president says he is a
'practicing Christian.' It is difficult to be one while simultaneously holding
a low view of the Bible, which his position on several social issues might
suggest. ...
I recently wrote that it is
becoming increasingly difficult for people who believe the Bible is God's Word
to impose their beliefs on those who disagree with them. But it is something
altogether different for those who disagree to claim the Bible doesn't say what
it says, in effect calling God a liar.
President Obama apparently
hopes there are sufficient numbers of biblical illiterates -- and he could be
right about this -- that either won't notice his sleight of hand, or don't
care. ...
People are free to accept or
reject what Scripture says. What they are not free to do is to claim it says
something it does not."
