[QUOTE]Originally posted by Calabooz: [QB] ^I see your point. Here is what they had to say about their beliefs: [QUOTE][b]We have been excluded because we have moral opinions based on our faith, and we feel sidelined because we are Christians with normal, mainstream, Christian views on sexual ethics," added Johns. "We are prepared to love and accept any child. All we were not willing to do was to tell a small child that the practice of homosexuality was a good thing.[/b][/QUOTE]Now, they say they have "mainstream" christian beliefs on sexual ethiccs. Then they say that they *would* love any child, however, what if that child ended up being homosexual? I suppose they might stick up to their promise of loving any child, however they would not tell that child that homosexuality is ok, i.e., they are not ok if they practice homosexuality. This may lead to several things: [list] [*]Child may end up hating themselves to the extent where they have thought of suicide [/list] [list] [*]Child may grow up thinking that their attractions are wrong, and then may stay "in the closet" for a long period of time resulting in some negative effects [/list] [list] [*]Child may grow up to be just as homophobic as the foster parents, which society really doesn't need [/list] Now, just what are "mainstream and normal" Christian beliefs? They are as follows" [QUOTE]Then there is homosexuality which likewise is condemned in Scripture. The Apostle Paul, writing by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, declares that [b]homosexuality "shall not inherit the kingdom of God"[/b] (I Corinthians 6:9; 10). Now Paul does not single out the homosexual as a special offender. He includes fornicators, idolators, adulterers, thieves, covetous persons, drunkards, revilers and extortioners. And then he adds the comment that some of the Christians at Corinth had been delivered from these very practices: "And such were some of you: But ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God" (I Corinthians 6:11). All of the sins mentioned in this passage are condemned by God, but just as there was hope in Christ for the Corinthians, so is there hope for all of us. [b]Homosexuality is an illicit lust forbidden by God.[/b] He said to His people Israel, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination" (Leviticus 18:22). "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them" (Leviticus 20:13). In these passages homosexuality is [b]condemned as a prime example of sin[/b], a sexual perversion. The Christian can neither alter God's viewpoint nor depart from it.[/QUOTE] http://bible.org/article/homosexuality-christian-perspective I think that gives a pretty good idea on the "mainstream" christian beliefs. So, I do agree with you Booki, they should not be allowed children on the basis of their "normal mainstream" christian beliefs. [QUOTE]Which makes them no different from Nazis and therefore the reason why they SHOULDN'T be allowed to foster children. If they want to damage children with disgusting evangelical brainwashing, they should do it to their own unfortunate children.[/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
