Al Mohler, the president of the
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, has
equated homosexuality with cancer.
In a op-ed posted at LifeSiteNews,
Mohler blames “pervasive school curricula” for undermining the
Christian worldview and promoting “homosexuality as a legitimate
and attractive lifestyle option.”
“Inevitably, the schools have become
crucial battlegrounds for the culture war,” he
wrote. “The Christian worldview has been undermined by
pervasive curricula that teach moral relativism, reduce moral
commandments to personal values, and promote homosexuality as a
legitimate and attractive lifestyle option.”
Liberal churches “argue that to tell
a homosexual he is a sinner is uncompassionate and intolerant. This
is like arguing that a physician is intolerant because he tells a
patient she has cancer. But, in the culture of political
correctness, this argument holds a powerful attraction. Biblical
Christians know that compassion requires telling the truth, and
refusing to call sin something sinless. To hide or deny the
sinfulness of sin is to lie, and there is no compassion in such a
deadly deception.”
