A Profile In Courage: One Senator Says Homosexuality Is A Sin!
Senator to ‘gay’ lawmakers: ‘Homosexuality is a sin’
Activists blast state legislator for citing Scripture against same-sex unions.
When Colorado’s Legislature considered granting benefits to same-sex partners, one lawmaker took a stand, calling homosexuality an “abomination” and a sin the government should not condone – and now “gay” activists have countered with a full-fledged attack.
Sen. Scott Renfroe, R-Greeley, stood before the state Senate Feb. 23 just before it passed SB 88, a bill granting insurance benefits to homosexual partners of state employees. He read scripture to lawmakers – including the bill’s openly “gay” sponsors, Democrats Sen. Jennifer Veiga and Rep. Mark Ferrandino.
“I oppose this bill because of what my personal beliefs are,” Renfroe said. “I think that what our country was founded upon was those beliefs also.”
He told the Senate God created woman as a helper for man and commanded his children to “be fruitful and multiply.”
“I think that goes back to this whole picture of family that God created us for, and we need to honor that,” he said firmly. “Homosexuality is seen as a violation of this natural created order.”
“Ye shall not lie with a man as one lies with a female. It is an abomination,” he read. “If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act, and they shall surely be put to death. Their blood guiltness is upon them.”
Then he continued with Romans 1:18: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.”
“That’s what we’re doing here,” Renfroe said. “We are suppressing the truth. The truth is what the family was created for in the beginning – that is a husband, a wife and children. That is why we are here, and this [bill] goes against that.”
“Obviously we have sin — we have murder, we have, we have all sorts of sin, we have adultery, and we don’t make laws making those legal, and we would never think to make murder legal,” he said. “I stand in my belief that this is wrong, and we should not condone it as a government.”
We, as a people, for reasons of political correctness, fear of homosexual activists and because we have allowed The Supreme Court to make the Judeo-Christian God persona non-grata in the affairs of this nation and in the public square; by our failing to resist evil like homosexuality, the courts and some state legislatures are granting the state and our national imprimatur to what is a gross evil, which evil is destroying the family, robbing our children of their Christian heritage and bringing this country down as a once great nation.
All the economic and other problems we face, in prior times with national prayer and dependence upon Nature’s God, we would have found a rational way to solve them; but now we have told God to butt out of our affairs and we are reaping the whirlwind of that fateful decision; and like every great fallen empire before us that has fallen into the ashheaps of history, a center piece of our national depravity is our acceptanec and even official approval for homosexuality and the disgrace of homosexual marriage (Civil Unions).
