That church attack unfair

THE EDITOR: Justice Frank Seepersad has criticised the Presbyterian Church for its silence on the same-sex issue.

Like any writer with a point to prove, he selectively quoted from the Bible to show how Jesus “embraced the prostitute.”

Jesus also saved a woman from death by saying that “He who is without sin cast the first stone.”

However, what Seepersad failed to mention was that Jesus told that same woman to “go and sin no more” (John 8: 3-11).

Jesus also healed a man who was sick for 38 years. Sometime later he saw the man in the temple and told him: “Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee” (John 5: 5-14).

Here hangs the whole argument of the same-sex issue.

The Bible states that Jesus ate with sinners. His whole purpose was given when He said that “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Mark 2:17).

We are varying our concepts of what is right and wrong to accommodate specific agendas.

Seepersad should be advised that Jesus never changed a sin from being wrong to being right.

Jesus loves the members of the LGBTQIA community just like any other people. Does this mean he approves of their same-sex union perspective?
