5-star rating for Spiritual THE BIBLE tells me that a documentary film on DVD
For The Bible alone is to take as deep Christian parents and their children if the child is in the closet and announced his sexual preference. The story is from the perspective of five normal, real, said adult children of homosexual life and their families. The families struggle with love for the child and the desire to compete for the right thing to Christian.
A literal interpretation of the Bible, for example, would mean that the child is bad, evil and sinful in the eyes of God. This DVD is important because it asks us to examine whether the Bible an excuse to try to, and is hatred of homosexuals. Several biblical scholars and prominent citizens talk about how a literal interpretation of selected phrases of the Bible leads to misinterpretation. One expert said: “There is nothing wrong with a 5 Class understanding of God, while you are in the 5th Class.
“OverviewThe film opens with shots of 1977, Anita Bryant, the Christian activist and former beauty queen, singer and celebrity of commercial products. Anita, we see the heart of the States against homosexuals. She is healthy, easy, full of his sacred mission, and very confident. Then a Gay Guy in a color of peace about them and throws a cream pie in the face. A friend sitting next to Anita recalls awarded cake pitcher. Visibly shaken, and sometimes crying, extends Anita typical Christian version of forgiveness. be the “father”, she says, “I beg your forgiveness, and we love him and pray for him released from his abnormal lifestyle, father. “The opportunity to witness such a perfect example of the ego-based act of forgiveness is reason enough to see this movie.
Anita came to a new mindset, and it is this: “I forgive the reality is a subtle act of aggression and hatred instead of love and kindness, which purports to be. The excuse most of us routinely, I am better than you, or you are the bad posture. Every child counts on the recognition of themselves as homosexual, how and when they told the parents, and what happened next. We met Imogene and Victor Reyes. Gene, her son, is now the first gay Episcopal bishop in New Hampshire. We comply with the Brenda and David Poteat, a lesbian daughter, Tonia have. David says that when his children were born, made a prayer to God. be “God, please do not let my son grow up to FAG and my dog. “So, ironically, tells us that God” does not. Is reversed.
“Dick and Jane Gephardt’s lesbian daughter, Chrissy, speaks of his concern that comes out, might spoil their campaign for the presidency of the Father. Phil and Randi Reitan’s youngest son, Jake, he realized he was gay when I was in high school. When he told his parents, “said Phil” has made me so much I felt I just had a death. “And finally, we meet Mary Lou Wallner. His lesbian daughter, Anna, committed suicide after he rejected and concerned about the reaction of his mother after his arrival. The five stories are emotional, but that’s history by Mary Lou, “which you complain, and her story stays with you long after the film is finished. Ana told her mother about his homosexuality when she was away at college.
Mary Lou wrote a letter saying to them: “Never accept … what you are doing is spiritually and morally wrong … and I always hate in you. “At that time was Mary Lou’s opinion is mainly influenced by the church she attended. After church, homosexuality was a sin was the sin of sins. After the death of his daughter, Mary Lou began to investigate independently homosexuality. It was found that homosexual men are 3-7 times more likely to commit suicide. They feel excluded. They feel as if God does not want. They feel there is no place for them in the church. “Now, instead of the Bible literally, I take it in the context of the time it was written. I think differently than I grew up. “Mary Lou still attend church, but not the same church.
RelevanceWe know that love does not attack, and we know that love is not alone. Therefore, if the words from any source in a manner that the trial and condemnation of our brothers and sisters, our interpretation of these words is justified be misinterpreted. The Bible has 6 or 7 verses that directly address homosexual behavior. Among these agencies are very selective in focusing attention on the message of love and focuses on a minor defect in the message. It can be seen as a small moon and say: The moon is the most important and relevant on a whole person. The word abomination, for example, is used in the Bible and is often cited as the eyes of God about homosexual activity.
“If a man lies with another man, who is an abomination. “But today, biblical scholars tell us that atrocities must again be in the context of the time it applied interpreted. Our current interpretation of the atrocities of the kind of extreme disgust, anger and hatred, but in biblical times, the atrocity was related to the breach of the undertaking, a ritual, like the ritual of marriage requirement. The Bible also says it is an abomination to eat shrimp. It is an abomination to mix cultures. It is an abomination to weave linen and wool together.
They All interpretations of the word abomination was forgotten selected by our attention, and ignored. Desmond Tutu, South Africa won the Nobel Peace Prize and a special guest in the film, said: “I can not imagine that God would punish you because you are black, not white.
I can not imagine that God would punish you because you are a woman, not man. And I can not imagine that God would punish you because you are homosexual, are not a heterosexual. “Film has won many deserved ConclusionThis independent film / documentary awards.
Anita Bryant Pie in the face when the heartbreaking story of the suicide of Anna Wallner, flame and keeps the attention. It is an attractive, authentic representation of what a gay Christian in this millennium. But more importantly, for the Bible I therefore invite the audience to stop playing with homosexuality as the reason for the closure of the love that is our truth. Do yourself a favor and see.
