[Vision2020] Jesus at a Gay Wedding??

[Tony]

Here is Nick's "gem" of a letter devoid of its self absorbed focus:

Jesus loves all people regardless of their orientation.  The mainstream 
Christian community has never taken any other position.

If Jesus were here today in the flesh, he would hang out with the masses and 
not likely single out one group or another for particular attention.  He 
would advise tolerance for those on the right as well as those on the left. 
He would accept and love all people even as he may not approve of their 
behavior.

He would tell anyone who hated themselves for any reason that they were 
created in his father's image and should attempt at all times to conform 
their behavior accordingly.

He would, I bet, assure the church that its position with regard to sin, 
that one should hate the sin but love the sinner, was fair and just.

If a "transgendered" person were to demand acceptance, he would likely 
advise against the barbaric contemporary practice of personal mutilation 
championed as self realization by today's left.  He would likely perform a 
miracle whereby the maladjusted individual would be restored to their 
pre-mutilation state, free of the self loathing and misidentification which 
they had labored under.

And I'll bet you would find him at church praying for those who had died of 
AIDS as a result of engaging in the inappropriate and unnatural practice of 
anal intercourse.

                                            -30-

There.  Now can we all stop pandering to the homosexual community and tell 
them the truth?  Smugly congratulating ourselves as we send yet another 
sympathy card to another grieving family hardly constitutes either love or 
compassion.

Saying what needs to be said,    -T
