An open letter to Mr. Obama:
I don't know how you can profess to be a Christian and still support homosexuality. My Bible calls it an abomination. Lev. 20:13 says "... if a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable and must be put to death." Rom. 1:26-27 (32), " ... God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relationships with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversions." Although they know God's righteous decree that they who do such things, deserve death, they continue to do these things and they who approve of those who do such things are equally guilty. 1 Cor. 6: 9-10, "... Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexuals ... will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were, but you were washed, sanctified and justified when you came to Jesus." (So you see, you can overcome this sin).
You said that your children were friends with children from a homosexual couple. I also lived next to a same-sex couple and we were good friends but I certainly never endorsed their life style. You also said that Jesus would be pleased with your socialist views of taking from the rich and giving to those who have not. In this poor economy, I know that there are many who have lost jobs and cannot find work and these people deserve help but there are many more that sit back and wait for the government to take care of them. God also said that by the sweat of your brow you will eat until you return to the earth, Gen.3:17-19.
I am 88 years old and I worked most of my life, even while in high school, from age 15 to 74 1/2 years old and at a variety of jobs. I am now a member of our local Mifflin County 9-12 Tea Party and we must not fail at the polls in November to replace you, Mr. Obama.
