Somebody just doesn't understand- a misguided protester

Today a friend of mine posted a link to this picture on digg and facebook. I had to comment. This photo originally ran with an article in the Wall Street Journal online edition. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124329389315852597.html

The reason my friend "dugg" this photo was the sign the protester in the background is holding which reads "Jesus had two dads why can't I?" Attached to the posting of the photo on digg is the caption "Take that Pope." How clever. I suppose now they'll get that nasty, closed-minded old guy in Rome to admit that he was wrong and gay is ok after all.

I think it is fair to assume that the protester had in mind that Jesus had two fathers, his earthly father, Joseph, and his Heavenly Father, God. Too bad she missed the entire point. To equate Joseph and God to a gay couple is not only completely misleading, it is also blatantly blasphemous and utterly offensive.

The Lord God himself gave us this command in Leviticus 18:22 (New International Version) "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable." and in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (New International Version) "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."

It is clear that homosexuals “marrying” is not God’s will, and would be, in fact, sinful since the God condemns both homosexual acts and desires. And for those who say that the Bible never directly condemns homosexual marriage, my response is that whenever the Bible mentions marriage, it is between a male and a female from the first mention of marriage in Genesis which describes a man leaving his parents and being united to his wife to later passages with instruction for marriage in Corinthians and Ephesians which clearly state the relationship between men and women in marriage.

And furthermore, Jesus Christ is not the product of any sexually immoral union. The Gospels clearly state that Christ was the product of a virgin birth -son of God the Holy Spirit through the vessel, the virgin Mary.
