The author, Peter Hackney, has written a restrained and commendably factual article; and I am one of those Australians who have seen fit to, as he puts it, “contact Bonds directly to express their displeasure”. I would have done the same if the advertisement had featured two women, or a man and a woman. Paul Mitchell, on the other hand, sees what is not there: it is not possible to infer from the photograph that either of the people ‘loves’ the other, only (as i am sure Bonds intended) that there is a physical sexual relationship between them. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ explains to us – and we ignore him at our peril – that true love (i.e. the ‘agape’ love that Jesus has for us) “rejoices not in iniquity”. Iniquity (sin, wickedness, unrighteousness), God tells us, includes sexual relationships between two men; or between two women; or between two people who are not married to one another; or between two ‘married’ people one of whom still has a living but divorced spouse. What God sees in the advertisement, therefore, is not love, as Mr Mitchell would have us believe, but a rejoicing in sin, specifically the sin of lust (i.e. illegitimate desire). In our era, ‘love’ is a fashionable but much-abused word; ‘sin’ is scarcely mentioned. The promotion of sin, for commercial purposes or otherwise, can only corrupt the people who are exposed to it. It certainly cannot edify, nor encourage the personal repentance for sin that God requires as the precursor to granting someone His forgiveness and His gift of eternal life through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

What year is this? 2019, oh I completely forgot! All I see is two people in love, what the world exactly needs a lot more of. Seriously and honestly, people are super sensitive and snowflaky in 2019.
