Archbishop: I’d rather go to hell
Desmond Tutu challenges ‘homophobia’ in heaven
Bob Unruh
A veteran
Christian activist and international blogger who faced persecution in Brazil
over his support for biblical marriage and condemnation of homosexuality as sin
says there’s a specific afterlife that can accommodate the pro-LGBT beliefs of
former Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Tutu is the
social-rights activist in South Africa who reached stardom in the 1980s battle
over apartheid. He received the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize, the 1986 Albert
Schweitzer Price for Humanitarianism and in 1999 for the Sydney Peace Prize,
among others.
His statements,
documented by the BBC, continued.
“No, I would say
sorry, I mean I would much rather go to the other place,” he said.
Tutu was in Cape
Town, South Africa, speaking at the launch of the “Free and Equal” campaign.
He compared
rights for homosexuals to choose their lifestyle to racism in South Africa.
“I would not
worship a God who is homophobic, and that is how deeply I feel about this,” he
continued, according to BBC. “I am as passionate about this campaign as I ever
was about apartheid. For me, it is at the same level.”
No problem,
pointed out Julio Severo, who blogs under the name Last Days
Watchman.
Severo has
worked is his native Brazil to oppose homosexual advocacy and same-sex
“marriage.”
As a result of
his work, he was hounded into hiding and then out of Brazil entirely. He
continues his work, but from an unidentified location.
On a popular
forum dealing with a number of biblical issues, Severo tells of blogging
about a nation diving into homosexuality and the results.
“I revealed to
Brazil for the first time that the [Luis Inacio ‘Lula’ da Silva] administration
had introduced in the United Nations a resolution classifying homosexuality as
an inalienable human right.”
After his blog
was launched in 2005, he raised awareness of the proposed law called PLC 122,
an “anti-homophobia” plan.
“The bill sought
to give government the power to exercise out and out thought control and would
have criminalized any speech construed as ‘antigay.’ It amounted to nothing less
than a direct ban on biblical Christianity,” he said.
In response to
his activism, PayPal, through which he had been processing donations, refused
to do further business with him.
“Tutu would not
need to fight ‘homophobia’ in heaven. In fact, he would see no ‘homophobia’ in
heaven, because there is no homosexuality there. In the presence of God there
are only people delivered from a past life of sins, including homosexuality,”
Severo wrote.
“Of course, if,
as gay supremacists preach, ‘homophobia’ is criticism of homosexuality, then
Tutu will not want to go to heaven, which is under the rule of the One who is
the author of all condemnation of homosexuality in the Bible,” he continued.
“Besides, Tutu
would not be pleased to hear from God that he was in truth a very immoral
conscience for South Africa by his support of what God calls abomination.”
Severo cited
references from both the Old Testament, (Leviticus 18:22: “You shall not lie
with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.”) and the New Testament, (1
Corinthians 6:9-10: “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the
kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor
idolators, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor
the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom
of God.”)
“God loves
homosexual sinners, but he hates homosexual sin,” Severo continued, “Yet, there
is a place where Tutu can go. In hell Tutu’s campaigning would be most needed,
because Satan loves violence against humans – all humans – including
homosexuals. In hell, Tutu could fight Satan’s ‘homophobia.’”
Severo said:
“Certainly, Tutu will feel comfortable in hell and in the presence of Satan,
the author of all violence and persecution against God’s people who warn
sinners about their sins, including homosexuality, which lead to hell.”
Tutu also
served, along with Jimmy Carter, on The Elders, a group of world leaders who
address issues such as sustainable development, equality for women and the
conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.
