Hi:
It has come to my attention that your customer charity giving
vehicle will no longer be sending donations to the Family Research Council
(FRC). The information I have is that
you took the FRC off your giving list because the radical, left-wing Southern
Poverty Law Center (SPLC) listed the FRC as a hate group (homophobic).
The FRC is a highly respected organization, with a
Christian world view. It was begun by
well-known Christian leaders like Dr. D. James Kennedy and Dr. James Dobson to serve as
an advocate for Christian values, particularly in Washington D.C. It is an error to classify the FRC as a hate
group because they speak out against homosexuality and same-sex marriage. The issue that true followers of Jesus Christ
have with the LGBT community is with the behavior, not the person. The teachings of Jesus are clear. We are to love others as we love ourselves.
True Christians regard the Holy Bible as the Word of
God. It is the guide for faith and
practice that trumps (no pun) all others.
The Word of God teaches us that God proscribed our use of the gift of
sex to sex within marriage, and that from the beginning He created man and
woman to be partners in life and marriage.
God's word strongly condemns homosexual behavior in both the Old and New
Testaments.
Speaking against homosexuality, without advocating harm
to anyone, is not "hate speech " as it has been defined by the
courts. Americans have been guaranteed
the freedoms of speech and religion by the First Amendment to the Constitution.
