Character: Mary Griffith
The Bible... it says that homosexuality is a sin that is punishable by death. Can you believe this?
- There are other interpretations of the Bible, Mrs. Griffith.
My son... was gay... And he killed himself. There's another interpretation?
- I'm sorry.
- I need answers. I want to know where he is now. Is homosexuality an unforgivable sin? In Leviticus, 18:22, said: "If a man lies with another man is an abomination."
- In those days "abomination" did not mean "sin." There it was about hygiene. Leviticus also says no less of an abomination of eating shellfish or mixing fabrics.
- Leviticus 20:13 "If a man lies with another man, they have to wait for death."
- And then he says the same thing about adultery. Or naughty child. And we don't take it literally. And here's another: the second Chapter of Deuteronomy: "If a bride is not a virgin, we need to get her into the house to her father and stoned to death."
- So what do You say to your parishioners?... Gay... That homosexuality is OK?... And that's forgivable in the eyes of God?...
- I tell them what I believe is true: God loves them all God loves them as they are.

- You think it's OK to interpret the Bible any way you want?
- No, of course not. But the Bible was written and interpreted by mortals. And many of those interpretations were reflections of the time in which they lived.
And you think that you are free to question it? In my opinion, is blasphemy.
- I don't think God is opposed to ask questions. He may not always delighted with our responses.

I have no doubt that the Lord can handle it. He will help us. He will heal Bobby. So we were all together in the Kingdom of heaven, we cannot stray. We can't sing. That is a terrible sin. The Bible calls it an abomination. In Leviticus if a man lies with another man they should both be put to death. I will not allow my family was not together in the next life.
Mary, please, let's worry about this life before you worry about the following?
Quote Explanation: Mary Griffith, a devout Christian, learned that her son Bobby is gay.
