It might indeed be true that sexual attraction has no boundaries. What they call “love” is nothing more than sexual attraction. They are, however, preaching evil in the name of love because the “love” of which they speak is not really love at all. The irony is, however, that the homosexists are neither liars, nor indeed damned liars, when they claim that love has no boundaries. He sacrificed himself for those he loved in order to show us that love is the sacrifice of ourselves for others.ĭoes love have boundaries? You can bet your eternal life that it does!Ī refusal to accept the boundaries that love imposes is a refusal of love itself. He allowed himself to be bound to the cross, bound hand and foot with nails that pierced his flesh. God himself, in the person of Jesus Christ, bound himself to all sorts of boundaries. It is inextricably bound to responsibility.Īnd there’s no need to take my word for it.
It doesn’t demand its rights but accepts its responsibilities. The fact is that love does have boundaries. In Christian terms, it is the taking up of our own personal crosses, embracing the burden because the acceptance of suffering is the path to freedom. It is binding ourselves to virtue so that we can be free from the consequences of vice. It is surrendering our freedom to do what we like so that we can do what our conscience demands. It is not doing what we want to do but what we should do. Love is the voluntary laying down of our lives for the beloved. Love accepts and embraces the boundaries imposed by the necessity of self-sacrifice.
Yes, love does indeed break down the boundaries between people but, and here’s the paradox, it does so because it is itself bound. Doesn’t love break down barriers between races and classes, and between people in general? Doesn’t it heal the divisions which its absence causes? And, at first glance, it’s difficult to argue with the claim that love has no boundaries. As with John Lennon’s mantra that all we need is love, it is difficult to argue with a sentiment that seems to make so much sense.
Take, for instance, the mantra that love has no boundaries, which is one of the soundbites of the homosexist lobby. There are liars there are damned liars and there are those who preach evil in the name of love.
