CNN host Don Lemon was discussing the statues controversy this week when he made this statement.

Jesus Christ, if you believe in, if that's who you believe in, Jesus Christ, admittedly

was not perfect when he was here on this earth, so why are we deifying the founders of this country?

If Lemon is right, Jesus cannot be the divine son of God. He cannot be our Savior,

for his death would have paid for his sins rather than ours. Of course, the Bible teaches

that Jesus committed no sin, and is holy and blameless, unstained by sin. As a lamb without

blemish or spot, he was tempted in every way we are, yet without sin. But if Lemon is right,

the Bible is wrong. Why would Don Lemon, who grew up Baptist and attended a Catholic school, make such a heretical

statement?

In an article titled My Faith, How I Learned to Stop Praying Away the Gay, Lemon wrote that

he began struggling with same-sex attraction as a boy.

He claims that at his Baptist Church, preachers taught that liking someone of the same sex

was a direct and swift path to hell. He prayed for God to change him until he started attending

college in New York. He writes, that's when common sense began to take hold, and I realized that no

amount of prayer would change me into something

that wasn't natural to me. He decided that the Bible was about the lessons you learned,

not about the events or words. In his evolving view, believing that religious teachings
