Preacher Matt Powell is no True Christian™!
On the surface, Powell seems to be in tune with the mind of God regarding homosexuality, at least according to this article.
“As far as homosexuality goes, I believe the Bible puts the death penalty on it,” Powell said.
Examined carefully, though, that statement turns out to be some weak tea. Why would anyone who has read the Bible equivocate with the expression, "I believe" when there are numerous verses throughout God's Word that clearly lay down the law on capital crimes such as homosexuality?
Even worse, however, is Powell's declaration that he, "believes in humane executions."
Does this supposed preacher of The Word believe in "Godly" executions, or some vague "humanist" standard?
Ultimately, what we believe or don't believe is of no consquence to Almighty God. He was Lord and King of Everything before we were created. Billions of people on this planet do not believe in Him at all. Does that make Our Lord and Savior less real?
God saw fit to enscribe stoning as His execution of choice in His Holy Word and He spelled out quite clearly which offenses of His Law are punishable by death. Start suggesting alternatives on the first and you may as well regard the second as mere suggestions as well.
When are people going to wake up and stop saying stupid things about morality and criminality that they claim are supported by the Bible?
If you claim to be a preacher of God's Word, then make certain that what you preach squares with God's Word. Don't play fast and loose with the words of the Bible. They are scripture, not jazz.
2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Leviticus 18:22
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination
Leviticus 20:13
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
I have highlighted the word "blood" in black (ironically) to emphasize God's position on the means of putting to death those who enage in gay sex. When's someone's own blood is splashed over their dead body, the likelyhood that they were licked to death by kittens is remote.
So, to all those so-called followers of the Bible like Matt Powell, just read the words on the page. God doesn't need you to extrapolate on subjects in which He has made Himself abundantly clear.
