This Chick-Fil-A thing is Confusing!

Jesus never really spoke about homosexuality; he did say to “love your neighbor as yourself.” Paul seems to be talking about it and seemingly spoke about it in Romans 1:18-32, although many theologians would agree that he was quoting Wisdom of Solomon 13-14, which is an Apocryphal book and most evangelicals do not use the Apocrypha in their canon. So, I am completely bewildered by all this stuff. I get upset with the politicizing of this Chick-Fil-A matter on both sides. I think the Chick-Fil-A guy has a right to do or say whatever he wants, and anyone who has a different view has a right to voice it out; however, I do not really see the theological foundation for it. If people want to eat a lot of Chick-Fil-A, I think its ok, but watch out for the excess of food because that may be a sin. Moreover, the sin of Sodom was that “she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy.” Homosexuality is nowhere on this list. If you want to see this just read Ezekiel 16:49-51 which reads as follows:

“Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty and did an abomination before me. So I removed them, when I saw it. Samaria has not committed half your sins. You have committed more abominations than they, and have made your sisters appear righteous by all the abominations that you have committed.”

I think that if one gets a mean response from someone it is usually because one is being mean first…of course, there is an exception to every rule. I personally, will try to love everyone because the Scriptures do say that we are all sinners, and none of us are good. In fact, Psalm 14:2-3 says:

“The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.”
