Look, GC's has a slight point, Kit should not have that phrase in quotes. It's not an exact quote. Fix it Kit!
However, this is clearly the intent of what was said. So if the quotes alone are removed, the title is otherwise accurate.
“Jesus didn’t come to promote sin, He came to save us from sin,” and "The Bible is very clear. God destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah because of homosexuality." and "God defines sin in His Word—it’s not up to our opinion, the latest poll, or a popular vote." These are direct quotes. He's wrong, naturally, and a hypocrite to boot, but that's not the point.
He stated that Jesus came to save us from sin, that God clearly defines homosexuality as sin, and that God's actions in the past were to kill whole cities full of people for this particular sin. Although he did not say the exact words quoted in the title, he did say things that meant those exact same words.
Jesus = God. God kills homosexual sinners = Jesus kills homosexual sinners. It's all right there. He's too coy to come right out and say it, but even without that, the meaning is clear as fucking day.
If you substitute the words Jew, or Blacks, or Catholics, or anything else where he says sin/homosexuality, you'll see my point clearly. Let's try, shall we?
Jesus didn’t come to promote blacks, He came to save us from blacks,” and "The Bible is very clear. God destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah because they were black."
This is promoting the killing of the sinners. No question.
