I form part of a bigger group of Australians that believe it is wrong to hate people – including people of a different sexual orientation. However, I also believe that not all forms of sexual behaviour are right – based on the teachings of Jesus in the Bible. This is the mainstream Christian view, and is summed up in the phrase ‘hate the sin, not the sinner’. I think the average Australian would think that it is good that we have laws protecting us from those that would exercise or encourage hatred or violence toward others, including those of a different sexual orientation. I think these laws are an important bedrock of our civilized society. However, as a Christian I also want to retain my freedom to publicly say “Jesus said X was sinful” or “the Bible points out that X was sinful” (where X may relate to sexual orientation) without it being misinterpreted as vilification. As well as encouraging us to love our neighbour, Jesus also gave particular commands relating to sexual orientation. The root of these commands lies in God’s original intentions behind why a man and a woman were created. The apostle Paul, for example, says “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” before he goes on to point out that we are all sinners and all in need of salvation. Christians believe that the gospel message should be taught to everyone, and the idea that we are all sinners is a key part of that message. It is therefore conceivable that in spreading the gospel message, Christians will be pointing out that “God through the Bible says X is sinful”. The intention is to share what Jesus & other Biblical notables said - not any kind of vilification. The last thing I would want to see is good Christian teachers, churches and charities becoming caught up by poorly drafted terminology in legislation or guidelines. I therefore want to urge the КкСЯЧщБЈеО to consider the difference between contempt for a behaviour and contempt for a person. Thanks for the opportunity to comment. I want to wish you all the best in your work toward protecting human rights! I also want to apologise if this matter is already clearly defined in legislation. I doubt that it is, but I admit I am not familiar with the way that the laws have been operating in the States.
