California Pastor John MacArthur said during a recent edition of his Grace to You show that parents of LGBT kids should cast them out of their lives and turn them over to Satan. Americans Against the Tea Party reported that the pastor was responding to a question from a congregant about parenting a gay child.
My adult child just came out, wrote MacArthurs viewer, in other words declared to be a homosexual. What do I do?
You know, the answer depends, answered MacArthur. If that adult child professes Christ, claims to be a Christian, then that becomes an issue for confrontation of the sternest and strongest kind because that falls under Matthew 18.

However, if they profess to be a Christian, you have to alienate them, he said. You have to separate them. You cant condone that, its inconsistent with the profession of Christ. So, you isolate them. You dont have a meal with them. You separate yourself from them. You turn them over to Satan, as it were, as scripture says.

I'm reasonably some quote from Leviticus would apply but I'm too damn lazy to look one up.

(16,867 posts)Seriously, how could anyone who believes that Satan is the source of all evil turn their child over to such a being? If they believe their god wants them to do such a thing, then their god is evil. They worship evil. Their god is evil and Satan is good, if their belief system wants them to turn their child over to the being who is opposite to the one they worship. Their child is better off with Satan than he/ she is with the god they worship.
