Scott Lively, the founder of Abiding
Truth Ministries and the president of Defend the Family
International, has warned that acceptance of gay rights signals the
end of society, media watchdog RightWingWatch.org
reported.
During a speech titled The Global
Threat of Homosexuality last month at the Resurrection Life of
Jesus church in Sacramento, Lively urged attendees to reject the
notion that homosexuality was “just another sin.”
“I want to just attack this idea that
people have raised that homosexuality is just another sin because
that's not true and the more that we embrace that, the more that we
accept that as a concept, the more distant we are from understanding
the warning that God gives us when we see this phenomenon in our
society,” Lively said.
Lively added that the rainbow flag, a
symbol of gay rights, was a warning from God.
“When you see the gay pride parade
going down the street in the major cities, what banner are they
flying over them? They're flying the banner of the rainbow. What is
the rainbow? The rainbow is God's covenant with man never to destroy
the Earth by water again. … So there's an enormous warning there.”
“They parade their sin like Sodom.
And they do it under the rainbow banner almost as if they're saying,
'God, you can do nothing to us,' because they don't believe that
Sodom was destroyed because of homosexuality so they aren't learning
the lesson from that.” (The video is embedded in the right panel
