Former Navy Chaplain Gordon
Klingenschmitt has condemned President Barack Obama's inaugural
speech for mentioning gay rights.
Obama cited Stonewall, the birthplace
of the gay rights movement, and stated that “if we are truly
created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be
equal as well.”
In an email to members of his Pray in
Jesus Name Project, Klingenschmitt, who has previously said Obama is
ruled by approximately 50 demons, criticized the president.
“Every kid deserves a mom and dad. We
must defend traditional marriage,” he
wrote.
“Sadly, Obama equates sin with
holiness, confusing lust with love, thereby confusing the demonic
with the Holy Spirit, when Satan can never be equal with God. There
is one reason homosexual sodomy will never be 'equal' to traditional
marriage: Satan will never be equal to God.”
“To discern selfish lust from
selfless love, and the evil spirit from the Holy Spirit is critical
to discerning whether sin can ever 'equal' holiness, in human
morality. Because every form of sin (including heterosexual sin) is a
defiant human act of rebellion to God's commands, then sin is also an
invitation to allow demonic rule, always without exception.”
“Thus 'equality' for Obama is the
same as making Satan equal to God, because he declares the demonic to
be godly, when in fact nobody can serve two masters. Allowing sin to
rule our national policies is an open rejection of Almighty God, and
an open invitation to the devil, to manifest in our hearts.”
Klingenschmitt made national headlines
when he challenged the military's rule on inclusive prayers during
events which include a multi-faith audience such as ship
commissionings and change-of-command ceremonies. A born-again
Christian, Klingenschmitt demanded the right to pray “in the name
of Jesus” in public settings. He was honorably discharged for
insubordination.
