Re: Article on Pride Fest, June 9.
It is not something for Lethbridge to be proud of. Instead it should make us weep and mourn for several reasons.
1. That we live in a society where the Bible and prayer is banned from most schools so young people are no longer taught about responsibility. A picture of all of us is found in Psalms 81:11-16. Our hearts are desperately wicked. Mine, too, but that does not mean we can do what we like.
2. That this group of people distorts the truth of the Bible to their own purpose. God gave His law by Moses, specifically the 10 Commandments. The seventh commandment reads “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” Read Leviticus 18 and 19 for an explanation of what that means.
And to write as if we do not have to pay attention to what Paul wrote is very wrong. It is also part of the inspired Word of God.
Even though they claim the government has no business in the bedrooms of the nation, the government is still responsible to uphold the Law of God in public life.
What we see today, though, is people are not willing to heed what the Bible teaches. Neither are they satisfied with the freedom to do evil in their bedrooms, but they try to justify themselves by demanding public recognition. How sad.
Another reason to mourn is city council so readily gave their consent. For by their consent, they have scorned the feelings of the majority of citizens, and become partakers of the evil. How sad!
