Some would claim I am guilty of heterosexism if I do not embrace the practice of homosexuality or the teaching of the homosexual lifestyle to children in school.
Then, does it follow that I am also guilty of some form of “racism” if I do not embrace thievery, alcohol or drug abuse, adultery, cheating, rape, pedaphilia, or murder (to name a few) or the teaching of these practices to children in school?
All of these practices are harmful. It is for that reason that God’s Word consistently warns against them and calls them wrong. Vibrant civilizations have always warned against them and called them wrong.
What, you say? A person with homosexual tendencies is born that way? Cannot the same be said about the person who is an alcoholic or prone to violence? Thus, the practice of self-control. Restraint. Setting of boundaries. All for a person’s own good as well as the good of his neighbors. If someone is looking for help in practicing self-control and — in fact — putting the old, harmful ways behind, tell them to give Exodus International a call. This group offers the same hope for “recovering homosexuals” as Alcoholics Anonymous does for “recovering alcoholics.”
It is bold and progressive to demean me with words like heterosexist. No matter. I am going to refrain from embracing a dangerous lifestyle even while I embrace the person struggling with it.
