Kirk Cameron may be wrong on the End Times subject, but he sure is good on life subject

March 7, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Actor Kirk Cameron is holding his ground after an interview on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight in which he squarely defended Christian belief regarding homosexual behavior.

During the March 2 interview, Morgan asked Cameron if he regards homosexuality as a sin. Cameron answered that “it’s unnatural” and added that “I think that it is detrimental, and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization.”

After Morgan claimed he would tell his homosexual child: “That’s great, son, as long as you’re happy,” Cameron replied: “I wouldn’t say ‘That’s great, son, as long as you’re happy.’ I’m going to say, There are all sorts of issues we need to wrestle through in our life. Just because you feel one way doesn’t mean we should act on everything we feel.”

Although Morgan claims to be a Catholic, he is openly supportive of the homosexual political agenda, which is in opposition to Catholic doctrine.

Following an outcry from homosexualist groups and their allies in the major media, Cameron stood his ground.

“I spoke as honestly as I could, but some people believe my responses were not loving toward those in the gay community,” he told ABC News in an emailed statement. “That is not true. I can assuredly say that it’s my life’s mission to love all people.”

“I should be able to express moral views on social issues, especially those that have been the underpinning of Western civilization for 2,000 years—without being slandered, accused of hate speech, and told from those who preach ‘tolerance’ that I need to either bend my beliefs to their moral standards or be silent when I’m in the public square,” he added.

Cameron’s comments reflect the Bible’s firm denunciations of homosexual activity, which can be found in most religions and societies. In the New Testament, in the first chapter of the Letter of Paul to the Romans, the Bible calls homosexual behavior “against nature” and “filthy.”

Cameron on abortion

The former star of the 1980s sitcom “Growing Pains” also raised liberal eyebrows by condemning abortion in no uncertain terms, referring to it as “murdering a little child.”

“I think it’s wrong under any circumstances,” he told Morgan, adding that “I think that someone who is ultimately willing to murder a child, even to fix another tragic and devastating situation, like rape or incest or things like that, is not taking the moral high ground. I think we’re compounding the problem by also murdering a little child.”

“Could you honestly look a daughter in the eye if she was raped and say you’ve got to have that child?” asked Morgan, who claimed surprise when Cameron replied “yes of course.”

“I find it amazing that people would say that,” Morgan responded.

“Oh but because I love my daughter, I love that little child,” said Cameron. “This is a little creature made in God’s image. Perhaps imagine if you were the result of that, and you had been aborted, we wouldn’t be here having this conversation. And so I value life above all things.”

A very brave stance to be taking on national TV these days.

I am not a fan of Cameron's ministry. That's putting it lightly -- he is one of the few people in the world that drive me up a wall. But he certainly is right on this one.

[eagle_eye222001]

Yea! Someone is actually defending a real belief in the face of hostile opposition.

I cannot attest to what else Cameron does, but kudos for this stance.

Everyone is getting attacked for this stance. Must be doing something right.

I made this into a Facebook status, and it's already started a bit of 'discussion', for lack of a better word...

I wonder why he's so against the Catholic Church ? He's a solid christian. Has been for awhile. I unlike some of you here have no problem with how he brings people to Christ. He shows them their sin and how were all guilty no matter how good of a person we think we are. That is what leads to the change of heart and one realising they need what Jesus did for them on the cross. As simple as that is to understand I don't think a lot of catholics get it. I think a lot think its about being a decent person and going to church on christmas and easter. I think christians like Kirk and Ray bring up a lot of good points.

I know he endorsed the Left Behind books and such but i'm not all that familiar with his ministry. He starred in that pro-family movie Fireproof--great message, good plot, ok acting. I say more power to him.

(Yes, theologically all evangelicals can be more than a bit annoying with the rapture business, o.s.a.s, and the lack of clarity on the Incarnation, God's justice, and grace.)

This is a contrived controversy. Who really cares what a defunct sitcom star's personal views on abortion are? If you don't want to hear a conservative Evangelical's views on abortion, then don't ask him.

Very good point. I agree. I don't think he believes in osas. And the rapture stuff is stupid. And he does need to learn the truth about the Catholic Church. Sometimes though I wonder what IF these guys are right in what they are saying. I don't believe they are but what IF they are. Lol
