ALSO GAVE A SUPPORTIVE PROMOTNAL QUOTE FOR A BOOK ABOUT A MAN WHO SUPPOSEDLY “GAVE UP HOMOSEXUALY FOR GOD” BY SAYG: “IF EVER A STORY NEED TO BE TOLD, THIS ONE DO.

PERHAPS HIS FATHER’S WORDS N PROVE STCTIVE. “I DON’T BELIEVE ANYONE BEGS A HOMOSEXUAL,” FALWELL SR. SAID 2000. “THEY BEG THE WAY GOD MA THEM: MALE, FEMALE, WH ALL THE DISPOSNS THAT ARE BUILT . IF THEY CHOOSE TO BE BISEXUAL OR TRANSGENRED [HIS WORD] OR HOMOSEXUAL, THEY’RE HUMAN BEGS, AND THEY HAVE THE ABILY TO DO . BUT AS A CHRISTIAN, BIBLILLY, SCRIPTURE MAK VERY CLEAR THAT 'S AN IMMORAL POSN.” HE JUDGED HIS IEND MEL WHE FOR LEAVG HIS WIFE TO “GO OFF TO THE HOMOSEXUAL LIFTYLE.”MAYBE FALWELL JR. WILL NSIR HOW HARSHLY HIS FATHER JUDGED WHE 2000, ALTHOUGH ONE SOMEHOW DOUBTS AS HE SCURRI AROUND TRYG TO SALVAGE HIS LIBERTY UNIVERSY PRINCY. BUT THE ECHO BETWEEN WHAT HIS FATHER SAID OF WHE AND “SEXUAL GRATIFITN” MT ECHO HARD FOR HIS SON RIGHT NOW.“THE HORRIBLE THG THAT MEL HAS DONE, AND I'VE SAID SO TO HIS FACE, IS THAT WHEN A MAN LEAV HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN FOR ANOTHER WOMAN, HE HAS DONE A TERRIBLE THG,” FALWELL SR. SAID 2000. “HE HAS CSHED LIV AND LEFT BEHD WRECKAGE THAT HE N NEVER RRECT. GOD N FIVE HIM, OF URSE…“BUT WHEN YOU LEAVE AND GO OFF TO THE HOMOSEXUAL LIFTYLE, YOU HAVE SAID, ‘MY SEXUAL GRATIFITN IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THOSE CHILDREN, THAT WOMAN, THOSE GRANDCHILDREN. AS LONG AS I FEEL GOOD AND I HAVE MY SEXUAL GRATIFITN, SO BE .’ THAT IS SO SELFISH. IT IS SO WRONG… IT IS NOT A TERRIBLE THG FOR A MAN TO HAVE BAD SIR AND BAD DRIV. TEMPTATN IS NOT S—YIELDG TO TEMPTATN IS S. HE DIDN’T HAVE TO YIELD TO THAT TEMPTATN.” FALWELL JR. HAS NOW “YIELD TO TEMPTATN” HIMSELF, OF URSE. WILL HE FEEL SPIRUALLY TORN, OR IS HE JT—LIKE MANY A HYPOCRE BEFORE HIM—NOW EXPOSED, FOUND OUT, AND SPERATE TO SP SOME GOLD OUT OF THE SELF-SPUN TOXIC THREAD ENMHG HIM?IT DON’T MATTER, BEE FALWELL JR.

WHEN THE TERVIEWER THE 2000 TERVIEW SAID HOMOSEXUALY WAS FOUND EVERY CIVILIZATN AND RELIGN THE WORLD, FALWELL SR. REPLIED, “YOU’LL ALSO FD BANK ROBBERS, DG ADDICTS, AND ALHOLICS.” THE “UNSELG” HE SAID HIS CHURCH OFFERED LGBTQ PEOPLE WAS THAT “GOD LOV THEM AS EQUALLY AS EVERYONE ELSE, BUT THAT WHAT THEY’RE DOG IS WRONG... WHAT YOU’RE DOG IS WRONG. IT’S GOG TO STROY YOU. IT'S GOG TO STROY OTHER LIV. AND IF YOU WANT OUT, WE N HELP YOU THROUGH THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST.”OBVLY NOW, ACRDG TO HIS FATHER’S OWN WORDS, FALWELL JR. N ONLY SEEK SALVATN THE SAME WAY. PERHAPS HIS CHURCH SHOULD ENFORCE UPON HIM A RIGORO PROGRAM OF REPENTANCE AND RENUNCIATN AS HIS FATHER WANTED LGBTQ PEOPLE TO UNRTAKE? “LIFE IS SUPPOSED TO BE LIVED FOR GOD AND FOR OTHERS. A LTLE GRATIFITN, THAT’S FE, TOO. BUT AMAZGLY, WHEN YOU PUT GOD AND FAY FIRST, YOU DO GET GRATIFITN.”— JERRY FALWELL SR. NOW, FALWELL JR.
