Russian Pentecostal leader refuses tolerance for gays:

Moscow, February 27, Interfax - Bishop Sergey Ryakhovsky, a Russian Protestant leader and a member of the Public Chamber of Russia, refused tolerance for gay parades’ participants.

“The tolerance our sexual minorities mention so often, does not in reality correspond to the concept of ‘right.’ The fundamental human rights as formulated by the UN General Assembly in 1948 in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, do not include anything like a right to vice and or a right to moral crime,” Ryakhovsky said in his statement received by Interfax on Tuesday.

According to the bishop, the Russian Evangelical Christians (Pentecostals) are ready to hold up the traditional family values not only by personal examples or by sermons. ‘If they try again to plan a gay parade in Moscow or any other Russian city, we reaffirm our readiness to bring our protest out to the streets,’ he said.

He also regretted that heads of European capitals ‘miscall the aggressive propaganda of moral corruption “a spirit of respect of the universal human rights”.’

Mayors of
London, Paris and Berlin should remember the Bible that says God made a man and a woman, not ‘a universal creature,’ he added.

‘Dear Mayors, you were born only because your daddies were men and mammies women, and they behaved accordingly. The traditional family guarantees a healthy society and promises new generations to come, while homosexuality as an unproductive form of life destroys human ability to procreate children, given by our Maker, and endangers the very existents of the nation,’ the bishop noted.

Gee, wouldn’t be great if we could get the Anglicans, some Catholics and Protestants in this country to act accordingly?

Sadly, I have heard some bishops, who claim to be Orthodox, make the statement that gay couples live a non-violent life-style, so therefore it is ok and they are to be respected. Now, I don’t believe in going around thumbing the skulls of gays and lesbians. I do believe in respecting their human dignity, but that does not mean that I have to accept their life-style and no matter how non-violent they be, they are still sinning. No matter how much glitter you put on filth, it is still filth.
