ABC's 'Nightline' Accused of Snubbing Truth About Homosexuality

By Jim Brown
June 4, 2002

(AgapePress) - A pro-family activist who appeared in a Nightline town
hall meeting on homosexuality says the ABC News program failed to
address the health risks associated with the dangerous and sinful way
of life.

The Nightline town hall meeting from Roanoke, Virginia, capped a
weeklong series titled "A Matter of Choice." Phil Whitaker, director
of outreach for the Family Foundation of Virginia, was invited to
participate in the program. Whitaker says the show was framed to look
like the responses from the audience were spontaneous, but in fact
they were not.

He says show producers knew the perspective each respondent was
taking, and the timing of those responses was pre-selected by the
Nightline staff.

"In my initial comments to [Nightline host Ted Koppel], I really tried
to raise some of the pressing health issues and family stability
issues that I think are relevant to the homosexual agenda issue -- and
although he said [they] would come back to that, they never did,"
Whitaker says. "So those issues got glossed over entirely, and that
really disappointed me."

Whitaker says ABC wanted to focus only on the controversy between the
Church and the homosexual community. He says the tone of the
broadcast, and the message from the speakers, left the viewing
audience with the false impression that most Roanoke churches are open
to and accepting of the sin of homosexuality.

"They continually played up how normal, how mainstream [homosexuals
supposedly are]," Whitaker says. "The individuals they interviewed
from the homosexual community were certainly educated, well spoken,
well behaved, intelligent people. You did not see any of the more
radical element from the gay-rights agenda present on the program at
all."

According to Whitaker, the broadcast was nothing more than another
effort by the Disney-owned network to promote and legitimize
homosexuality.

So the next time Nightline does a program on Christianity, to be fair they

the KKK so that Americans can have a true picture of "Christians".

I'm sure after the program was over, MILLIONS of Americans went out to

There is nothing sinful about homosexuality, there is no sin of
homosexuality in the bible.

Thank you for posting.

The notion of promoting homosexuality is not preposterous. In fact,
promoting things like homosexuality is exactly what Romans 1:32 warns
that unrepentant sinners will do.

Homosexuals should keep in mind that the good news of the gospel is not
about how God despises same-sex sexual relationships. 1 Corinthians
6:9-11, in fact, shows that certain members of that early Church had
been involved in same-sex sexual relationships but had been cleansed in
the name of Jesus.

Indeed, return to God, believing in his Son Jesus in faith, and have
eternal life.

It is totally and completely preposterous. Please list a number of
ways in which homosexuality can be "promoted" and contrast that with
how heterosexuality is "promoted"

Your religious beliefs and dogma are totally IRRELEVANT to civil
rights - for further information, look up "separation of church and
state".

Thank you for posting.

If your assertion about the death penalty punishment for unlawful sex
was still true then Paul should have had the sexual offender of 1
Corinthians 5 put to death. However, Paul just had this man kicked out
of the Church. So did Paul screw up?

Centainly not. Paul, under the guidance of Jesus' Holy Spirit, actually
satisfied the intent of the Law by simply having this man kicked out of
the Church. Indeed, God commanded the Israelites several times in
Deuteromony, verse 13:5 for example, to "purge the evil from among you".
And 1 Corinthians 5:13 shows that this is exactly how Paul justified his
judgement on this offender.

Note that since both incest and same-sex sexual relationships are
forbidden by Leviticus 18:7,8 and 22 respectively, Paul could just as
well have used an unrepentant homosexual for the example of 1
Corinthians 5 which really addresses sexual immorality in general.

Homosexuals should keep in mind, however, that the good news of the
gospel is not about how God despises homosexuality. 1 Corinthains


6:9-11, in fact, shows that certain members of that early Church had

formerly been involved in same-sex sexual relationships but had been


cleansed in the name of Jesus.

Indeed, return to God, believing in his Son Jesus in faith, and have
eternal life.

Hmmm,

This thread reminds me of this email I was sent awhile ago. Maybe you've
seen it?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a US radio personality who dispenses advice to
people who call in to her radio show.

Recently, she said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an
abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any
circumstance.

The following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a US resident, Jim,
which was posted on the Internet.

It's funny, as well as informative:

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law.

I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge
with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual
lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly
states it to be an abomination.

End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other
specific laws and how to follow them.

1. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a
pleasing odour for the Lord-Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbours. They
claim the odour is not pleasing to them.

Should I smite them?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus
21:7.

In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her
period of menstrual cleanliness-Lev.15:19-24. The problem is, how do I
tell?

I have tried asking, but most women take offence.

4. Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female,
provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend of mine
claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify?

Why can't I own Canadians?

5. I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2
clearly states he should be put to death.

Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an
abomination-Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality.
I don't agree.

Can you settle this?

7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a
defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses.

Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair
around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27.

How should they die?

9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me
unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different
crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two
different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse
and blaspheme a lot.

Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole
town together to stone them? (Lev.24:10-16)

Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do
with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can
help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Your devoted fan,

Jim

You got to be JTEM using another name.

Fornication (zanah) harlot, go a whoring, whoredom.
Fornication (ekporneuo) to go a whoring.
Sodomite (qadesh)  which means a male temple prostitute.
Abusers of themselves with mankind (arsenokoite) one who lies
with a male as with a female, sodomite, (qadesh) male temple
prostitute.
Effeminate (malakos) of a male who submits his body to unnatural
lewdness, of a male prostitute.
A high place (ramah) a place of illicit worship.

You are trying to say that fornication is an act of having
sex while unmarried, but that make no sense when it is a act of going
whoring, when you are married. This can be clearly pointed out in
the usage of the word fornication by Jesus himself:

Matthew 5:32 "But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away
his "wife", saving for the cause of "fornication", causeth her to commit
adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth
adultery."

Now if fornication was having sex outside of marriage, instead of
the idolatrous act of having sex for the purpose of worshiping
other gods, then Jesus would not be talking about putting
away a "wife" for the cause of "fornication". If it were a "wife"
having sex in the modern sense of the words, it would be adultery,
not fornication, yet both words are used in the same context,
clearly a "wife" can commit fornication and the modern usage of
the word is mistranslated.

You can copy and paste this all you like, it will only add to the count
of blasphemy against you The context is 1 Cor 6:8-20 worshiping
other gods by prostitution.

You could not even tell us where Romans was written at could you?

Thank you for replying.

With respect to how idolatry is related to sexual immorality, Romans
1:25-27 shows that sexual immorality is a consequence of idolatry.

Return to God, believing in his Son Jesus in faith, and have eternal
life.

Yes, the rituals of the Law concerning animal sacrifices, slavery, and
other things are a typical smokescreen rebutal for those who are
themselves slaves to homosexuality.

But those who let Jesus' Holy Spirit reveal the true meaning of the
Scriptures to them can tell you that Hebrews 10:1-18 Jesus' death on the
cross was the ultimate sacrifice. The bottom line is that Jesus wiped
out the need for further sacrifices.

1 Corinthians 7:21 and 23 says for slaves to acquire their freedom if
they can do so and to not become a slave to men.

Consider that Jesus was almost made unclean by an unclean woman as Luke
8:43-38 shows. But between Jesus' power to heal and the woman's faith
the woman was healed and Jesus remained clean. Indeed, it was as if the
unclean woman had never touched Jesus. So consider that if Jesus is in
your heart then a little faith can also prevent you from becomming
unclean. Otherwise, Galatians 2:6 indicates that no one can be
justified by the Law anyway.

I wouldn't regard any of the Lord's freedmen (1 Corinthians 7:22) as
slaves. You may get the Lord's attention for doing so but probably not
the kind of attention you want.

Who are you to question another of the Lord's servants (Romans 14:4)?
Indeed, Romans 14:5-6 shows that one man might regard certain days as
holy while another man considers every day the same.


>

But Jesus clarified such things with respect to the Law and the Prophets
in Matthew 7:12. Jesus said do to others as you would have them do to
you.

The Lord said in Acts 11:9 not call anything unclean that He has
purified. 1 Corinthians 10:27 later says to eat anything put in front of
you. The Lord also inspired to Paul to write to eat anythings sold in
the meat market in 1 Corinthians 10:25.

Again, Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice so there is now no need for
true, repentant Christians with impairments to make any kind of
sacrifice now anyway.

At least you're in good company. Acts 18:18 shows that Paul also got
his hair cut.

Having learned a lesson from the bleeding woman above, you know that you
just have to have Jesus in your heart and, using a little faith, you can
play football. But don't think you're going to win all the time.

Again, plan A, being justified by the Law obviously won't work for him.
He should pick plan JC, being justified by faith in Jesus Christ.

Why not follow the example of Paul who upheld the real intent of the Law
by simply having a sexual offender kicked out of the church as 1
Corinthians 5 shows. Otherwise, Leviticus 20:11 shows that this sexual
offender should have been put to death. Messy.

I study the Word out of necessity. Otherwise, you hear so many Bible

about anything anyway.

Malachi 3:6 shows that the Lord does indeed not change. However, Jesus
indicated in Matthew 5:17-18 that the Law and the Prophets may indeed

And once again you lie and blaspheme the bible. Bet you cannot
even quote who first said that, blasphemer.

Adam Clarke's Commentary:
Romans, 1
Verse 23. They changed the glory, &c.] The finest representation of
their deities was in the human figure; and on such representative
figures the sculptors spent all their skill; hence the HERCULES of
Farnese, the VENUS of Medicis, and the APOLLO of Belvidere.
And when they had formed their gods according to the human shape,
they endowed them with human passions; and as they clothed them
with attributes of extraordinary strength, beauty, wisdom, &c., not
having the true principles of morality, they represented them as
slaves to the most disorderly and disgraceful passions; excelling in
irregularities the most profligate of men, as possessing unlimited
powers of sensual gratification.

Verse 26.   For this cause God gave them up. Their system
of idolatry necessarily produced all kinds of impurity.
How could it be otherwise, when the highest objects of
their worship were adulterers, fornicators, and prostitutes
of the most infamous kind, such as Jupiter, Apollo, Mars, Venus.

Verse 27. Receiving in themselves that recompense, &c.] Both
the women and men, by their unnatural prostitutions, enervated
their bodies, so that barrenness prevailed, and those disorders
which are necessarily attendant on prostitution and sodomitical
practices.
 

So much for your homosexual thingy.

And the lying blasphemer speaks again, there is no sin of homosexuality
in the bible only of idolatry, using your body which is the temple of
God against God to worship other fertility gods as Baal-Molech and
Venus.

1 Cor 5 shows nothing, but in your child's bible.

No, in context, something you know nothing about, it shows having
sexual rituals to Molech (Baal) is a idolatrous sin, it is treason.
The way you pray to fertility gods is to have sex to them, to give
your seed to them, that is why the verse about Molech is right before
Lev 1:22 and the context, something a lying blasphemer like you knows
nothing about, is Lev 18:21-24, Lev 20:2-5, 13, 15-16. But then
you would actually have to read the bible wouldn't you. God forbid.

I agree with what this author is saying. Indeed, he and I are saying
the same thing but in different ways, this author providing some more
specific examples pertaining to idolatry practices of ancient times for
the most part. But we are tempted by different idols now. Can't you
see this?

Return to God, believing in his son Jesus in faith, and have eternal
life.

Thank you for replying.

But consider that God put the ball into our court by commanding us to
_obey_ the Laws as Leviticus 18:4 shows. Indeed, we have the choice to
either obey laws like Leviticus 18:22 or to disobey it, sinning against
God and our own bodies if we choose to disobey it.

Since the context is Lev 18:21-24 and Baal-Molech has not been
worshiped for around 1600 years the verse no longer has any meaning.
Only to those with a perverted agenda of using the bible as a shield
and a weapon of mass destruction against intersexual children and
homosexuals. Why do you insist in harming children? Hermaphrodites
cannot help being born with both sexes and that anyone they have as a
mate will be a same sex relationship.

It you little bible thingy that child's bible has the word homosexual in
it, it is a child's bible made for public consumption, the word
homosexual was not coined until 1892 so why is it in your little
bible thingy? They had no need to coin the word homosexual until
now, because no one saw same sex relationships any different than
opposite sex. There was same sex marriages in the church until
the 19th century, there is same sex love and same sex marriage in
the bible. Your little theory of a sin of homosexuality in the bible
is modern urban myth.

Reason, you have a perverted agenda, and it does not include truth.

The difference is you assign these acts to homosexuals not to those
that worship the fertility gods as Baal-Molech and Venus, they were
no more homosexuals for doing their religious duty to a fertility god,
than are today's christians cannibals for drinking the blood and eating
the body of Christ. Both are doing a religious duty not an act
of cannibalism or homosexuality.

You're not being honest with yourself with respect to these Leviticus
verses. Baal was a supreme male divinity in some ancient cultures so do
you see why homosexuality becomes an issue here? And Romans 1:25-27
doesn't single out Ball-Molech but refers to idols in general.

You're risking your salvation on a word that doesn't even belong to the
language that the original text was written in. And this is perhaps why
the original texts give a simple, working definition of homosexuality in
the first place.

Return to God, believing in his Son Jesus in faith, and have eternal
life.

And what is the difference? There were lots of fertility gods, it singles
out many in Rom 1:23 you just refuse to accept it.

You are delusional, it is you who is risking your salvation on that word
by assuming that in the last 300 years where homosexuality became a
sin to them in the bible, that they are right, and the 3100 years prior to
that, that they were wrong. There was same sex marriage in the church
until the 19th century.
