-- Statistics show that 25% of unmarried "born
again" Christians are living together. This
reveals an apparent hypocrisy in condemning
homosexuality, while not condemning heterosexual
immorality. Sad to say,
co-habitation is on
the increase and its participants also include
the Catholic and Christian community.
BFA believes there
is also a need to condemn not only adultery in
its blatant form of cheating on a spouse, but
its camouflaged form by easy divorce to pursue
second and third marriages.
This has been done by those who describe
themselves either as Catholic, Evangelical and
even more startling the born again Christian.
"There is no doubt
that
homosexuality is immoral before God, we see that
in the scriptures,
but the very same scriptures hate the immorality
of unbiblical divorces and cohabitations. God
does not wink at sin just because it's a
heterosexual committing it" says Phil Magnan,
Director of Biblical Family Advocates.
"Apparently heterosexuals are setting the
example for the homosexual community thinking
that if you are 'loving and monogamous,' it must
be acceptable before God."
"How can we as Christians have any moral
credibility before God and man when we are
practicing the very thing we condemn in the form
of immoral marital practices? Until we show as
much hatred for our own sin in our churches and
demand repentance we will continue to destroy
the sanctity of marriage, even more than same
sex marriage proponents. We have not been a very
good example of morality or godliness before God
and man."
BFA is pleading
with the Christian community to begin times of
repentance and reflection as we take up the
banner of morality and righteousness in Christ's
name.
If the Christian community cannot show true
repentance and transformation in their own
churches, how will they be able to offer
Biblical and loving help to those who wish to
escape their own bondage of sin?
