True Base Not Dissatisfied with Rick Warren’s Selection

Byron A. Ellis – December 23, 2008

The claim that Obama’s base is dissatisfied with of Pastor Warren’s selection for the January 20^th invocation is merely a media fabrication. Most of Obama’s support, Blacks, Latinos, and progressive whites are mainstream Christians. And, like Obama, they define marriage as the union between a man and a woman.

The media has attempted to whip up hysteria over the inclusion of Pastor Warren in the inaugural ceremonies.

Mr. Warren is a pro-lifer. And, like many of Obama’s supporters, does not believe in abortion or in the gay and lesbian behavioral choices.

Rick Warren, like Obama, wants to reduce the number of abortions. However, his preference and that of many Americans is zero abortions. And, that is a noble goal of any civilized nation; therefore, we should not condone or support the annihilation of the most innocent among us.

Rick Warren, as well as many of Obama’s supporters, does not hate the gay and lesbian community; they merely disagree with their sexual choice.

It appears, however, that the gays and lesbian community are intolerance with those that do not accept their sexual choice.

Intolerance on either side of the sexual preference divide is an inappropriate behavior and should not be condone.

John Aravosis claims that picking Rick Warren to give the invocation is an abomination. But, the abomination in Leviticus 18:22 is when a male lies with another male as with a woman.

And, in Luke 17:29-30, Jesus tells us that when the Son of Man is revealed it will be like the days of Lot. Jesus is inviting us to understand the conditions that prevailed in Sodom (Genesis 19).

Jesus is warning that the moral and spiritual conditions that prevailed in the two gentiles cities of Sodom and Gomorrah will repeat themselves in the end days. So, it is incumbent on us to understand those conditions and not to facilitate their arrival.
