A new sitcom on NBC has suggested in one of its episodes that Jesus was pro-gay marriage and may have been a homosexual himself.
Charisma News’ Jennifer LeClaire reports that the new NBC sitcom Superstore is advertised as follows:
"America Ferrera (Ugly Betty) and Ben Feldman (Mad Men, A to Z) star in
a hilarious workplace comedy (from the producer of The Office) about a
unique family of employees at a supersized megastore.”
"From the bright-eyed newbies and the seen-it-all veterans to the
clueless summer hires and the in-it-for-life managers, together they
hilariously tackle the day-to-day grind of rabid bargain hunters,
riot-causing sales and nap-worthy training sessions," the show
description continues.
In the episode of the show entitled “Wedding Day Sale” a Christian
store manager asks help from a gay employee to build a special gay
wedding section in the store.
“I just want everyone who comes into this store to feel accepted,” says the store manager.
This comment then leads the manager and the employee to discuss Jesus’
views on homosexuality and to suggest that he would support gay marriage
and gay adoption, and that he himself may have been homosexual.
LeClarie points out that “Various agendas have tried to morph Jesus
into their own image over the centuries,” but that “the church needs to
rise up and get equipped to preach an unadulterated gospel to a people
group that is finding new ways to justify sin—even portraying Jesus in
their own gay image.”
LeClaire encourages readers to extend love and kindness to homesexuals,
but not to neglect standing for the truth of the Gospel.
“We need to pray. We need to write NBC and Universal Television and The
District, who are parties to this show, and make our voice heard. We
need to support Christian TV and film producers who have a good message.
And, again, we need to understand how to share the Good News to a gay
community who desperately needs a radical encounter with the love of
God,” says LeClaire.
