Yes, I get Email

Submitted by Steve Buescher on April 7, 2007 - 2:49pm.

Over the almost 10 years that I have run Rainbow Cincinnati, the site has gotten its share of, shall I say, interesting emails. This one from michael_schonberger@lycos.com was such a dire warning that I thought I should pass it along:

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT USING THE RAINBOW AS YOUR SIN PRIDE LOGO!! THE RAINBOW IS FOR GOD'S PEOPLE MEANING US JEWS!!! AND TORAH OBSERVANT GENTILES!! YOU ARE GOIN TO HELL SO THUS YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO USE A SYMBOL THAT GOD GAVE HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE AS YOUR SYMBOL OF GAY PRIDE!! I USED TO BE GAY BUT GOD HEALED ME THROUGH LEADING ME INTO A TRUE FOLLOWING OF TORAH AND YESHUA (JESUS) THE MESSIAH OF YISRA'EL HIS SON !! DO NOT TELL ME THAT IT IS NUTURAL TO BE A FAGGOT OR A DYKE THAT IS ABSURB!! IT IS A RESULT OF GENERATIONAL SIN (LOOK AT ROMANS CHAPTER 1, 1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 6 AND LEVITICUS 18, GENESIS CHAPTER'S 18-19 AND MATHEW 19 TO NAME A FEW)!!
YOU ARE ALL GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL IF YOU DO NOT LOOK TO YESHUA HA MESHIACH (JESUS THE MESSIAH) AND BE FREED FROM YOUR SINS!!

That is a pretty intense letter you got. I do think this person is half right, generational sin does exist, BUT, what right do they have to judge us? I am a gay man AND a christian and I believe in Jesus and God, so I will go to hell just because I want to love another man, and as so, I can't really be a christian? In the bible it is stated that JUDGEMENT relies with the Lord and his Father, not his children. It makes me sad to hear hate talk against gays, lesbians, bi sexuals, transgenders, and to hear about riots and protests against us. I do however know that it is in human nature to judge people whether by race, by daily practices, by looks, by sexuality, etc.

Now when I read this letter I was also having a hard time to try to keep from laughing because: the rainbow is stated in the bible, after the story of Noah and the ark, as the symbol of a promise that God made to Noah and all his children of the earth. The promise was that God would never again try to rid the earth from sin by creating another giant flood. So the rainbow is not just for the Jews or any other group of followers, it is for the etire humanrace to share together, in the knowledge that God won't try to "wipe us out" again because he cares deeply for us.

Also, we as humans have no right to judge each other, we were created by God to share this world and his love, not to tear each other apart and to hate our communities for gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transexuals, queers, "faggots" or "dykes" as they stated in the letter, or any other community or gathering or whatever you can think of, we were meant to love each other as children of God!

Maybe someday we will cease to hear all this hate talk and rioting, and become one big community, the Lord's community. And I hope to be alive when it happens, but it seems like it's going to be a while because, in truth, I don't think we will ever stop judging, after all, God gave us all free wills to do whatever and think whatever we want. : )
