Republicans for Family Values >> Theology Expert Says Obama ‘Grossly Distorts’ Scriptures to Support Homosexual Cause
” Presidential candidate Barack Obama has written in The Audacity of Hope-a book that perhaps should have been entitled The Audacity of Portraying Myself Messianically as the Herald of Audacious Hope-that he is not “willing to accept a reading of the Bible that considers an obscure line in Romans [about homosexual practice]to be more defining of Christianity than the Sermon on the Mount.”[1] He repeated this line in a campaign appearance in Ohio this past March. He stated that if people find controversial his views on granting the full benefits of marriage to homosexual unions, minus only the name, “then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount, which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans.”[2] These remarks by Obama represent a gross distortion of the witness of the Judeo-Christian Scriptures.”
