As I was writing about Pat Hall earlier today, I stumbled upon another letter to the editor. This one is from Steve Koestner of Lakeville. In it, he asks what would Jesus do on the marriage amendment.
From Koestner’s letter:
No doubt as a Jewish man who welcomed everyone, sat and taught with everyone, and championed compassion, understanding and loving our neighbor as ourselves, he would be outraged at this prejudiced, hurtful, and love-lacking amendment.
WWJD? He would be writing this response instead of me. He would encourage others to vote against its passage as he would do.
Mr. Koestner goes on to say that:
As a follower of Jesus Christ, I am compelled by Almighty God to fight against oppression, bigotry, and those who deny equal opportunity to the blessed union of marriage for all God’s children.
Check out the letter in its entirety. It’s great to see a religious man reinforce the teachings of Jesus: Love God and your neighbor as yourself.

/ September 14, 2012Anyone can be a follower of Jesus Christ. But only those who believe are Born Again. There is only one path to heaven, and that is the narrow road. There is no homosexuality on that narrow road, nor is there any in heaven. Homosexuality is one of the things that God hates. Marriage is an institution created by God, and in HIS eyes, it is between one man and one woman. There are no alternatives to Gods Laws. It is not bigotry…it is not oppression…and it is not deny oppurtunity. It is protecting the insttitution of marriage as God intended. WWJD? Jesus never went againt the Father, or even every once contradicted Him. Jesus would tell the homosexuals the Truth….”Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at Hand.”
