Soulforce, freedom for lesbian gay bisexual and transgender people from religious & political oppression through the practice of relentless nonviolent resistance.
the battle has already begun and the war has just started...
Twenty-two Equality Riders of Soulforce Q, which is the young adult division of Soulforce paid a visit to Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Chairman of the Southern Baptist Convention's Council of Seminary Presidents, & Board Member of Focus On The Family.
Their mission was to have President Mohler apologize regarding several of the statements which he posted on his blog. He's come to admit, scientific findings are proving that sexual orientation is in all probability biological ~vs~ behavioral.
Yet, Mohler has a remedy for that...
"If a biological basis is found, and if a prenatal test is developed, and if successful treatment to reverse sexual orientation to heterosexual is developed, we would support its use as we should unapologetically support the use of any appropriate means to avoid sexual temptation and the inevitable effects of sin." Later he adds, "We can and must insist that no scientific finding can change the basic sinfulness of all homosexual behavior."
Wow, and this is a man of God who teaches the Most High doesn't make any mistakes, that he is the author and finisher, he's the maker and creator of our very being. If it's scientifically proven that sexual orientation takes place in the womb, (basically upon conception) then I don't understand how anyone, especially an individual who is this firm believer in his word, could possible suggest that we tamper with God's creation, because this is how God made us.
Now, I personally equate what Mohler is saying with the argument against sexual reassignment surgery. The belief, if you are born a man it goes against the word, the law of God to reassign your gender to be female (MTF or FTM). Well, if inside of the womb my sexual orientation was created to be lesbian, then for a prenatal treatment to be given to reassign my sexual orientation would only be tampering with God's perfection by Man. There is no difference. Is he saying, that God made a mistake?
Grant you, for argument sake, that sexual reassignment involves genitalia reconstructive surgery. However, I still don't see the difference. Man is tampering with God's creation. I guess it's better to tamper with the fetus in the most purest of state. Harm it, rearrange it, reshape it and mold it to fit societal thoughts and beliefs.
Because, if Mohler really believes what he is saying then as a 'fetus' you're already living in sin, dying and going to 'Hell'. You don't stand a chance with him. Aren't you glad God is not like this? I am.
President Mohler not only wouldn't retract his comments but he didn't meet with the young adults.
Twelve of the twenty-two non-violent and peaceful Equality Riders were arrested.
