Gay Marriage is Wrong Because...So Is Incest?

I’ve been wandering through some of PastorJer777’s videos on YouTube and came across one entitled Gay Marriage is Wrong! It’s a catchy title, so I decided to hear good ol’ PastorJer’s reasons for his being against gay marriage. I figured it must have something to do with the Bible, what with Jer being a Pastor and all. I just didn’t realize that Bible stories related to hospitality and incest proved that gay marriage was wrong. Go figure, huh? I’m learning something new all the time. 

Here’s a picture of Jer. He loves driving around in his car while making his videos. He also loves hats. He even wears hats in the house while he’s making videos. Slightly weird, I know, but he does it nonetheless. 

In this video, PastorJer777 feels “inspired by the spirit to take a stand for the church concerning gay marriage.” The church should stand for what is right and gay marriage is wrong. 

Jer says, “From the beginning, it has been man and woman, not man and man or woman and woman. There is no way in the world that two men or two women can be fruitful and multiply and that is what God said to Adam and Eve in the beginning. Gay marriage is wrong. That is the truth.” 

Now, I don’t know why God told Adam and Eve that two men or two women can’t be fruitful and multiply. It’s not as if they had any choice in partners at the time. Apparently, however, it’s the truth that God told them. I think He could have held onto that speech until he created some gay people though, don’t you? 

Then, PastorJer provides some Biblical proof for his stand. “God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for the sins of homosexuality. I want to read something to you in first Corinthians, chapter five. It says that it is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality is not even named among the Gentiles. That a man has his father’s wife. Now, if Paul was hot under the collar because a man had his father’s wife, what would Paul say about two men getting married or two women getting married? I think that he would say that it’s an insult to the way that God created man and woman to be. A man was found sleeping with his mother, and Paul judged it wrong and said turn that person over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh that his spirit may be saved in the day of judgment.” 

I kid you not. Jer went from Sodom and Gomorrah, with no further explanation, into Paul sending someone to hell for incest. And this is his proof for gay marriage being wrong! I was awestruck. Aren't you awestruck? Okay, maybe it’s just me. So I wrote the following comment: 

“Sodom and Gomorrah was a story about hospitality, not homosexuality. The word sodomy was not in that story until the KJV [King James Version]. Then you use a story about incest being wrong to prove that homosexuality is wrong. You're arguing apples and oranges. What I find really interesting is that you use Lot's story first, which ends in incest with his daughters (but you don't mention that), and then a different story about incest. You then equate incest with homosexuality. Your argument doesn't stand up.”

But, alas, no comment back from PastorJer777.
