Linda Harvey: Jesus might marry a man

Linda Harvey, a host of the Ohio based Christian radio station WRFD has warned that the passing of same-sex marriage laws might cause Jesus Christ to marry another man.

The Christian radio host this month said that same-sex marriage encourages children to have gay sex and that gay people aren’t human and should therefore not be protected under the US constitution.

Now discussing the fact that under the implementation of same-sex marriage in some states have caused the words ‘bride’ and ‘groom’ to be replaced with ‘person A’ and ‘person B’, the host considers what would happen if Jesus came back to earth.

She began :”On official marriage documents, the words ‘bride’ and ‘groom’ were going to disappear.  When advocates of homosexual marriage say how would two men or two women being allowed to marry change your marriage, here’s one way.  Nonsense like this starts showing up and the legitimacy of man-woman marriage is automatically on defense against pretenders to the throne.”

She warned: “Homosexuality, far from being marriage, is always a grave sin in Scripture.”

Switching to Jesus, Mrs Harvey said: “A Christian concept that illustrates the unchanging standard of man and woman as the model for marriage: in the New Testament, Jesus is referred to several times as the ‘bridegroom.’ And when he returns, he will return as a bridegroom seeking his bride: the church, which is the body of all believers, also called the Bride of Christ.  It’s a beautiful analogy.

“What happens to such a concept in a same-sex marriage?  Does Jesus as bridegroom seek another groom?  No, that would be a twisted and frankly offensive spin on a profound and marvelous concept.”

She concluded: “As Christians, we must never accept the idea of same-sex marriage.  It certainly doesn’t work as sound Christian doctrine and it will be shown before long not to work as revolutionary secular law either.”

It may have something to do with the Christian attitude of being the only correct religion, and that their beliefs must nd accepted by everyone, no matter what the situation. Most other religions/belief systems promote toleration or the many paths to one place thought. My personal belief system doesn't even allow for "preaching" but does allow me to answer questions if asked. Christians hand out pamphlets in the park...

Not saying all Christians are intolerant or pushy, just that so many (of the out spoken ones, mostly) are.

Quoting blondekosmic15:

Pema, do you ever post anything about your own religion Buddhism or other religions than Christianity!?

[sweet-a-kins]

Do you ever not personally insult someone that posts things you don't agree with?

How about the actual content of the Op, this hate filled bigot made these statements publicly. Why shouldn't they be discussed?

According to we this does represent her religion, does it represent yours?

I do post things about Buddhism. They are always ignored.

Are there many people making silly statements on the radio using Buddhism as their reasoning?

I could make the assessment that she never posts anything except for abortion stuff. But that would be rude to do so.

Is it rude if it's accurate?

[Pema_Jampa]

Yes. It's not my place to say that and I can practice self control and not comment on a thread if I do not like the topic or opinion.

I doubt buddhists are saying the stupid things that are in this post.

or, even more annoyingly, on your parked car when you're away, or in your mailbox (illegal) or on your porch (littering), or in lieu of a tip, or to kids on Halloween against their  parents wishes . . .
