Lawsuit against Zondervan complains about Bible statements on homosexuality

“Bradley LaShawn Fowler, 39, is seeking $60 million from Zondervan, based in Cascade Township, and another $10 million from Thomas Nelson Publishing in the lawsuits filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.”

“Fowler alleges Zondervan’s Bibles referring to homosexuality as a sin have made him an outcast from his family and contributed to physical discomfort and periods of ‘demoralization, chaos and bewilderment.’ “

I’m sure alot of people have already heard about this. Is this insane or what? Maybe not! To me it is because let’s face it. I’m offended by the bible everyday. That’s what draws me closer to it.

But this guy… Wow! I mean I thought the coffee lady at McDonald’s had gone loopy. Or people suing gun manufacturers because someone killed their loved one. But I about fell out of my chair when I heard about this one. Just another stunt for the homosexual agenda.

Let me say, that if I were a homosexual, this would be the exact thing I would do. Where do we get our authority to say it’s wrong? From the bible. And since I can’t sue God, I would sue the next best thing. The very manufacturer that keeps reprinting His word. Smart move.

I am however in somewhat of fear because this country is leaning heavily to punish people for hate speech. Like I said before. The bible is full of hate speech. The hatred of sin that is. (Psalm 97:10) And there sure s alot of it here in America.

But thank God for our protection in the first amendment that says we have the right to free speech and that it says no law can be made to prohibit free exercise of religion. BAM!!!!! The problem with this is nowhere in the bible at least in the original format does it use the phrase “homosexual”. So it may come down to the Supreme Court translating the bible for us to decide what exactly it means by “sexual immorality”. God help us there.

So where do we go from here. We cn only hope since this guy is defending himself that it misses the mark by a mile. But the one mark it will hit is cheering on othere to follow in his steps to close up the holes and succeed with the agenda of saying religion is hate speech.

I just read this on my AFA email.

In response to the boycott, McDonald’s spokesman Bill Whitman suggested to the Washington Post that those who oppose SSM are motivated by hate, saying “…hatred has no place in our culture.”
The battle is on people. Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s but render unto God what is God. If they want to make this about hate. It may very well come down to it. they think we hate them. We just hate the evil in them for man does not war against flesh and blood but with powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places.
