Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter told Marc Lamont Hill of HuffPost Live that he believes that Jesus would approve of gay marriage.
“I believe he would,” responded Carter to the question, Would Jesus approve gay marriage? “I believe Jesus would [approve of gay marriage]… I don’t have any verse of scripture…”
“No, no, no, just intuitively, yeah,” Hill agreed.
“I believe that Jesus would approve of gay marriage, but I’m not—that’s just my own personal belief,” Carter continued. “I think Jesus would approve of any love affair that was honest and sincere, and was not damaging anyone else. And I don’t think that gay marriage damages anyone else.”
Jesus clearly defined marriage when he said, concerning divorce, “But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” Mark 10:6-9
Besides Carter’s sheer ignorance of scripture, his point exposes his naivety concerning the need for children to have parents of both genders, the undermining of the marriage institution in society and its destabilizing effects, and of the gay agenda to take society’s morals away from scriptural norms in other areas as well. Think French Revolution.
“Likewise also, as it was in the days of Lot…” Luke 17:28

Friday July 10th, 2015 at 07:33 AMHow pathetically ignorant is Carter ! Just imagine what the future holds from now on. We;the true children of God are going to be persecuted because of hate speech laws when we speak up for God and Bible truth concerning the abomination of homosexuality

Sunday July 12th, 2015 at 03:07 AMMany of the so called Christians are no better idea of what the Bible is all about. They are ignorant of scriptures. They go to church for chanting and dancing. This leads them to ruin!

Thank you Pastor for great work you are doing.
