How to share Christ’s message with homosexuals Claim: God made me a homosexual. Response 
“Love Is A Force Of Nature” We are strangely drawn to forbidden things. This wanting after anything forbidden in the human existence cuts both ways. Both men and women can have an immoral character. The emphasis here is placed on the spirit portrayed in Director Ang Lee’s beautifully filmed Brokeback Mountain, not necessarily on gender, although we’ll deal with this aspect, but on immorality. Breathtaking landscapes and top notch performances aside, Brokeback Mountain is not the “cowboy drama,” or the “romance western” it starts out being, but is most assuredly just what they are now describing it as, a “Gay Western.” Heath Ledger’s cowboy Ennis Del Mar and Jake Gyllenhaal’s rodeo rider Jack Twist are a heartache in progress. From their first fateful encounter through to the tragic ending, Brokeback Mountain was akin to a Shakespearian tragedy. Bending the mind of the viewer, urging us to jump up and shout, “stop this behavior, can’t you guys see where it’s leading you?” Ennis and Jack become friends on a poor man’s sheep herding mission into, over, and eventually meant to go through the Wyoming mountains known as Brokeback. Friendship forged in the duties of rounding the herd, tending the horses, and the back breaking labor of cowboy life, becomes more than just a couple of cowboys with things in common. Jack, from the beginning, sees something in Ennis which interests him. Ennis, not much of a talker, finally opens up and discusses with Jack his innermost troubles, which sets the stage for what happens next. Ennis’ story is not a pretty one. He had a father who’s hatred of anything unnatural was passed on to him. At just nine years old, Ennis was exposed to the horrible murder of two old men, whom it was implied might have been homosexual—the murder performed in a most hideous way, most likely by his father. In being taught through fear to hate homosexuals, Ennis was taught to hate his own feelings when they welled up within himself for Jack. As a cold night closes in, Ennis insists on sleeping by the fire, while Jack gets the warmth of the tent. The fire out and snow’s bite subsequently forces Ennis into the cramped tent for his own survival. That fateful encounter turns this rugged ranch hand flick into a no-holds-barred contradiction on a dime. The following morning, a guilty-eyed Ennis announces, “This here was a one shot thing, ya know I ain’t queer!” Jack puffs himself up and declares, “Me either!” and in 1963 that shoulda been that, but the power of the action and the loneliness of the characters themselves proves no match for the attraction. As we weren’t as forgiving of that sort of tendency in the 60’s, the encounter had to be buried deep within. Bound by their secret and fueled by their love, these men continue their affair through the following 20 years. Ennis marries the sweet and devoted Alma (a heartbreaking performance by Michelle Williams) and has two daughters. His life destined for a paycheck-to-paycheck existence, Ennis kicks through it with determination to survive and provide for his family as a “man.” Meanwhile, Jack is branded locally as a not quite “straight” cowboy. Their boss (Randy Quaid) tells Jack he doesn’t want him back for hire: “You guys sure found a way to make the time pass up there. You weren’t getting paid to let the dogs guard the sheep while you stemmed the rose.” Jack eventually finds a way out of the rumor mill by marrying the beautiful Lureen (darkly beautiful Anne Hathaway), daughter of a wealthy farm machinery mogul, and has a boy of his own. As the years roll by, these men wreck their own lives and those around them. Those people most endeared to them, people that they love, suffering because of their relationship. At Alma’s first sight of her husband and Jack in an “embrace,” the torture in her eyes teared over with utter disbelief, was almost too much to bear. Brokeback Mountain is aptly rated-R. It is filled with very homosexual images. It includes a couple graphic “love scenes” between two men, and love scenes between men and women. The Ennis character is shown nude (in background), while bathing by the tent. The Alma character is shown bare-breasted Included are several scenes of men kissing each other passionately. These scenes are very realistic, and honestly left me with a sick feeling long after. The images are haunting, and so I must caution, spiritually dangerous for anyone who is not completely grounded in Scripture! The f-word is spouted regularly. “Jesus” is uttered several times as an explicative, not referring to His reverence. Vulgar language is sprinkled throughout, but it doesn’t seem out of place in respect to the cowboy life and the characters’ environment. There is a scene where two obnoxious males sit and loudly discuss a private part of female anatomy at a social gathering where children are present. The Ennis character asks them to stop that talk in front of the children and ladies, and when they don’t, he proceeds to punch and kick them until they do. The Ennis character is shown in many violent fights. Drinking, smoking, adulterous acts and divorce run concurrently. There is blood, violence and death throughout Brokeback Mountain. I’m not saying this isn’t Oscar material. What I am saying is, this is not Christian material. Oscar is known for setting apart the creative and original film. Brokeback Mountain certainly fits this image with it’s sweeping cinematography, absolute attention to detail, sensitive direction, and the sincere desire to paint a picture of what it really was like to be a man of homosexual tendencies in the early 1960’s and on into the next 20 years, especially in the ultimate macho male environment embraced in cowboy and rodeo life. The panoramic view of nature is breathtaking and flawless, nearly pristine. The complex relationships of the characters are fraught with emotion running the gambit from heated fist fights to tenderness—all done with exquisite performances. Considering all the above, I just cannot justify any of the supposed “love” between the male characters. It is lust, definitely not love, and here’s why: The dictionary defines the word “lust” as “an intense and unrestrained craving, an overwhelming desire.” Synonyms include obsession, longing, yearning, hunger and thirst. And if you’ll note the scenes where Ennis is waiting for Jack to show up for their “fishing trips” you’ll see exactly what I mean. There isn’t any specific mention of sexuality, because lust is much bigger than the sexual sin we usually associate with it. We witness lust in those who pursue relationships for the sake of filling a sense of emptiness that only God could fill. Sexual relationships with those of the same gender as depicted in Brokeback Mountain, can be emotionally damaging, not to mention the potential for STDS that are fatal such as AIDS. Our relationships ought to be more important than the sometimes fleeting enjoyment or lusts that the “anything goes freedom policy” carries. What about the issues of gender and immorality? The Hebrew word for “immoral” carries the connotation of something that is profane, which is the way God sees immorality. We human beings don’t always share God’s perspective, and Satan knows this; therefore he will do all he can to disguise sexual sin with deceit. Satan is cunning enough to package the profane as something that seems to satisfy a need or want, as in the case of Ennis and Jack’s affair, which might seem fine at first, but let us never forget this relationship that was fine to them at first, failed and finally lead down the path to pain and death. Had the relationship been avoided, the sin never would have happened, along with the devastation and destruction it left in it’s wake.
The Lord wants us to avoid the profane and therefore, He pleads with us to never allow these types of relationships to take root in our hearts. He has made it clear that we need to be diligent in our duty to monitor the relationships we voluntarily invite in. This will keep our relationships pure and preserve our hearts for the relationship with the one whom God has called us to love for a lifetime. “Then the Lord God made the woman from (Adam’s) rib, and He brought her to him…” And the man said God has blessed us all. He alone provides a mate for each one of us always worthy of His love. If then God loves us enough to provide a mate, it is truth that He provides this mate according to His Word. There is no deviation of that course. If there were exceptions to His rules, God would not be God. God’s design for us is to have no intimate sexual desire for those of the same gender. I know that this sounds like a decree that can’t possibly be kept in our modern permissive society, but remember that the Living God has put these moral laws in place to be eternal, which means they are good forever. Therefore, if they are good forever, we his people, will be able to keep them forever.
We need something more reliable than our hearts to lead us in our relationships. God’s Word enables us to discern what can and can’t be done in all relationships, even sexual relationships. Today, just as was in the time of the Judges, there is a sinful cycle echoed by the verse in Judges 17:6: “Everyone did what was right in his own eyes,” ignoring God and allowing their hearts to lead and direct instead. The results of this type of thinking is painful and ultimately devastating. Man is completely incapable of making his relationships right without The Word of God. As a compass’s needle always points North, a ruler always helps make a straight line, similarly the Bible is the measurement which always will point us to what is right, keeping the heart straight on the path of God’s Perfect Will in our relationships.
From Genesis to Corinthians, Scripture notes that sin lies in wait and hides behind the mask of freedom. To be sure, there are a lot of things we do that the Bible doesn’t have a specific “Thou shalt not” commandment attached to it. Like watching R-rated films, or having unprotected sex, or bringing up porn on the computer, but we must know that just because we are free to do something doesn’t mean it’s going to be good for the relationships we choose in life to do that “something.” Remember that “Sin lies at the door and it’s desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”
Brokeback Mountain is a riveting film, with characters you can believe are real, many performances deserving of an Oscar, but Brokeback Mountain has an eternal flaw and that is that there was no redemption from the sin. It was pitiful that the characters were left with no way out, no forgiveness. They were fooled by the facade of freedom that sentenced them to sexual sin. Not knowing Christ died to set them free, free from the power of sin giving them a love for the law of The Spirit, which leads to Life! Enabling them to walk away from that mountain called sins and into the liberty of righteousness!

by Tim Wilkins
With eight Oscar nominations, more than any other movie this year, Brokeback Mountain continues to gain momentum. And with the momentum comes increasing interest by evangelicals to see it. I will avoid the movie like a slug avoids an overturned saltshaker, and for the life of me, cannot understand why any evangelical would see it-though there appear to be many. But what is more disturbing to me is that many men and women I know with unwanted homosexual attractions are seeing the movie. A reporter from The Christian Post asked my thoughts about the movie, and I obliged. My comments as a former homosexual were made from the reviews I had read—comments which generated numerous e-mails to me from individuals arguing that I could not make an intelligent comment on a movie I had not seen. They suggested that my viewing the movie would be beneficial in responding to the reporter’s questions. I told them and the reporter that my going to see Brokeback Mountain would be similar to asking a former alcoholic to go to a liquor store to buy his neighbor a toddy for the body. Opponents of ex-gay ministries will immediately shout “Aha, so you are still tempted with same-sex attractions!” I do not deny it! Martin Luther said it this way, “if your head is made of butter, stay away from the fire.” These opponents will also argue that ex-gay ministries “only teach avoidance techniques.” Indeed, avoiding anything which may cause temptation is appropriate and biblical.
I am aware than an ultra-literalist might argue that viewing the movie does not constitute sexual immorality, but let’s remember that sexual immorality can be a thought as much as it can be an act. On a more simplistic level, I urge people who are allergic to bee stings to avoid bees—fair-skinned women to avoid the sun—lactose intolerant men to avoid dairy products—asthmatics to avoid perfumes—and hay fever sufferers to avoid pollen. When Dr. R. Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary appeared as a recent guest on Larry King Live he said,
A self-avowed unhappy homosexual man e-mailed me to say he saw the movie and “cried for three days after seeing it.” Why am I not surprised? Another wrote “As a man who has struggled with homosexuality all my life, I decided I would face it head on when I first saw the previews.” (Those previews did their work-didn’t they?) Indeed another wrote “I would rather face challenges than run from them.” These reasons may sound heroic and one can imagine a man charging into the theater refusing to avoid this issue which has caused him so much hurt. But let me ask, is it possible the homosexuals’ continued pain results in part from continued time investment in things homosexual? When Potiphar’s wife was attempting to seduce the godly Joseph, he faced his challenge by running for the exit sign (Genesis 39:12). Lest I sound uncaring to homosexuals, let me say to you (and you evangelicals need to hear this also) that I am aware of the unfathomable suffering which is part of same-sex attractions. Despair, depression and darkness blacker than the bottom of the Mariana Trench. One of the reasons that evangelicals have not made much progress in reaching homosexuals with the gospel is their failure to empathize with the excruciating pain homosexuals experience. But back to my main point, to view the movie will most likely reduce one’s defenses from future immorality. A large man had won accolades from his co-workers by dieting. However, the man walked into the office one day with a half empty box of donuts under his arm. His colleagues, genuinely concerned as to why he had slipped-up, asked why. He told them that in his race to work he took a detour by the local donut shop and a blinking “HOT DONUTS NOW” neon sign caught his attention. But there was a problem: the parking lot was full! He told his co-workers, “At that moment I told God that if he wanted me to stop and buy some donuts, he would have to open up a parking space right in front of the shop—and sure enough, the seventh time around the block, there it was!” In October of 2005, The Associated Press ran an article “Study Backs Out of Sight Out of Mind Theory.” The study, led by Brian Wansink, involved placing candy jars of Hershey’s Kisses in close proximity to a select group of secretaries. Some of the containers were clear, while other containers were opaque. Additionally, some of the containers were placed on the secretaries’ desks, while other containers were placed six feet from their desk. Ready for the results?
I will not see the two hour and fourteen minute movie; rather, I will devote an additional two hours and fourteen minutes to my time with God who, when I am tempted, will also provide a way out so that I can stand up under it (1 Cor 10:13). Tim Wilkins is the Executive Director of Cross Ministry, one of ChristianAnswers’ Contributing Specialists Read Mr. Wilkins’ story of how he became a homosexual, and how his life was later wonderfully changed through Christ Positive Positive - In the Christian community, a movie like this sets off alarm bells, and perhaps rightfully so. I myself was reluctant to see it, what with the content and all, but I’m ultimately glad I did. Here’s why This film, directed by Ang Lee, is one of the most meditative and quiet films I’ve ever seen. Everything in the film lends itself to a thoughtful silence. Whether because of the wonderfully minimalist score, or the sweeping landscapes, or the actors faces, this isn’t a film that wears its heart on its sleeve. Its all underneath the surface, exhausted, quivering, struggling to be heard. Positive - I saw BrokeBack Mountain. That in and of itself would most likely shock my Pastor and other Christian friends, “What business do you have going to see such filth?” they no doubt would ask. My honest, if wrongheaded response would be “To see what the controversy was about.” My reason, no matter how foolish, is the same that caused Mel Gibson’s Passion to soar at the box office. Positive - I fully agree with the reviewer with regard to the quality of the filmmaking. It was exceptionally shot with views of the some of the most beautiful scenery in the United States has to offer. …I disagree with the reviewer’s statement that the cowboys were not in love. …when Ennis separated from Jack after first coming off the mountain, doubled over in pain and crying, I interpreted it to show how much losing his “friend” hurt him. Also, there was nothing “lusty” about Ennis’s embracing Jack’s bloodied shirt, or talking to it when it was in Ennis’s wardrobe. The movie tried to convey love.… Positive - This is a powerful and heartbreaking film. My wife dragged me to this film which I had no intention of seeing. I’m glad I did. This is one of the best films of the year. …This movie is not what you think it’s about, it’s not just a gay movie, or a love story, but a character study, and a brilliant one at that. This is a must see. Positive - …a marvelous film on many levels. It will certainly be remembered as one of the great modern westerns in cinema history. …this is a gay-themed film that does not propagate a homosexual message, but shows characters who struggle in a nasty, bigoted and hateful world that is not the one Jesus envisioned for us. Their dilemmas stay with the viewer for hours and days after the film is over. Bravo to the brave performances by all these actors. This one is a masterpiece and a clear choice for the Best Picture Oscar. Positive - I found the film to be beautifully photographed and wonderfully told. …the two central characters are in LOVE, not a mere lust. Yet, the film does not attempt to make them flawless characters or their wives monsters. It shows both their public personas and private torments in a fair light. It is a film that promotes tolerance, set in a time where close-mindedness prevented many unions, from those of the same gender to those of different races or religions. I consider myself a politically liberal person. It would not be fair of me to write this review and not mention that, so I was never left “ill” by the love scenes. To dismiss this film as a “gay cowboy movie” dismisses the complex moral and ethical dilemmas the film presents, including the idea that in a society that claims to separate church from state, should two individuals be forced to hide their feelings, and should one be allowed to manipulate others, such as unknowing spouses, in an attempt to have everything-the public normalcy and the private true love they truly desire? This film has top-notch acting, direction, cinematography, and a screenplay that raises questions from the viewer.… Positive - …I disagree completely though, with your insistence that the two main characters experience “lust” not “love.” I will admit that I think the first encounter between the two of them is, in fact, lustful, at least in part. They’re up there on that mountain all alone, with sheep, and I think that had a large part in driving the initial encounter. However, a relationship like that, which lasts for twenty years is not driven by lust. Obviously, Jack could get what he felt he needed elsewhere, in a physical sense, but that wasn’t enough for him, because he was just trying to fool himself. What he REALLY needed was Ennis, because he loved him. He missed him so much he couldn’t stand it, as he said himself. If the emotion was truly lust, then his experiences with other men should satisfy him. Ennis, on the other hand, shuts himself off completely from other romantic possibilities. He is a wiser man than Jack and knows that his longings can’t be fulfilled by just anyone. He loves Jack deeply, but he is afraid of it, too. Positive - [Non-Christian/Agnostic] …Early on in the film, both Ennis and Jack reveal that their parents were Christians, but they have almost no knowledge of the faith themselves. Jack speaks as if he’s been nearly disowned by his father and, later, when Ennis talks about the murdered homosexual man, he insinuates that his father approved of, if not committed, the crime. Sure, Jack and Ennis were selfish and directionless, but how could you expect anything more from people who lived by the examples of parents who were so (frankly) un-christian? The only understanding of right vs. wrong that they possessed came not from a moral standard (which was never instilled in them), but from what society expected of them and achieved through spreading fear, intolerance, and ignorance, instead of openness and understanding which is the first step to helping confused individuals choose to lead selfless, moral lives. People don’t accept your help if you approach them with negativity. Positive - When I heard about this film, I reacted the way you’d expect any teenager who’s been raised in an almost homophobic society to react - EWW! Then one day my mother, who is a devoted Christian, offered to take me to see this film so that we could gain an insight into the mindset of homosexuals and learn some compassion for them, while still realizing that homosexuality is an act condemned by God. Positive - …a beautifully shot and acted film. Its worldview is not Christian, and it contains scenes that are not suitable for children. But just as Oedipus Rex manages so brilliantly to convey certain truths of human existence as they understood by the pagan Greeks, so does Brokeback Mountain manage to convey certain truths as they are understood by secular liberalism. It might even be that the film conveys certain Christian truths better than has yet been done by overtly Christian films. In any event, if you truly want to understand how secular liberalism understands homosexuality, you can’t do better than to watch this film. Neutral Neutral - Though not widely seen during its early limited release, Brokeback Mountain is the most praised movie of the year, already winning most of the major critics and film societies awards, and destined to win the major honors at this years Academy Awards. It may well deserve all the praise. The film is exquisitely crafted, beautiful to look at, hauntingly scored, and acted without a hitch. But Brokeback Mountain, for all its artistry and skill, is as self destructive as its two main characters. The film is very much a Western, one which relies on the classic conventions of setting and circumstance, but unlike its classic ancestors, has eliminated its heroes. The rise of the anti-hero (the popular term for the loser in the title role) in the 1960s made the traditional hero obsolete. With Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Little Big Man, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, The Wild Bunch, Midnight Cowboy, Lonesome Cowboy, and Unforgiven, the Western hero has been steadily losing his bearings. The strength and the certainty of High Noon and Shane and any of the John Ford Westerns have been replaced by discouragement and uncertainty. Neutral - …an amazing film, it truly is the best picture of the year and no matter how much we may disagree with a lot of what the film stands for, I can’t sit here and honestly say it wasn’t brilliant, because it is… The acting is unbelievable (or should I say ultra-believable) and Jake Gyllenhall gave, to me, the most powerful performance in the film, which saw a number of great performances. The direction is superb and so is the cinematography, with the poignant script evoking both sadness and humor, joy and heartbreak. It truly is a remarkable and thoroughly believable film, a quality which sets it apart from other stellar films this year (I’m thinking of Crash here) and should help garner Brokeback a Best Picture win. Neutral - I want to thank the author of the original review of Brokeback Mountain for her comments, as well as Mr. Wilkins. I was so encouraged by them! It has been a tough day for me since I viewed Brokeback Mountain. I was so entranced by the story, and felt such compassion for the characters, the two lonely men, and such shame at the horrible death of the one, that I felt weak and unable to confront this issue well myself from a Christian perspective. I agree that the film is incredible in realistic portrayal and cinematography, but extremely dangerous as far as its ability to cloud the issue of homosexuality and make it seem good. Negative Negative - …The Hollywood set are saying “No, it’s a love story, it’s not just a gay western.” For those who haven’t seen it, here’s what Brokeback Mountain really is: It’s a long, drawn-out movie about two men who are so incredibly selfish that they lie to their wives for as long as they stay married (which is not so long for one of them) and have an affair with each other that lasts 20 years. I found the sexual elements to be offensive, but I really found it offensive that they got married and messed up their family’s lives because of something they chose to do. Homosexuality aside, they lied to their wives, they sleep with someone other than their wives, they don’t honor their marriage bed, and they aren’t there emotionally for their wives. Negative - I’m not going to discuss the film’s moral issues. Those have been discussed at length. This movie is nothing more than a dull take on a theme that you’ve seen done to death. At its foundation is a typical forbidden romance, star-crossed lovers story. There is nothing groundbreaking here, but the critics adore this film because it deals with homosexual characters. Take the recent Tristan and Isolde, the framework of the story was nearly identical to that of Brokeback, but the critics trashed the film. As for the acting, it is ridiculous. Heath Ledger just mumbles his way through the entire film, Jake Gyllanhall is nothing more than whiny and annoying, and Anne Hathaway proves that she needs to stick to playing princesses and keep her clothes on, because this film will do nothing for her career. A total mess and one of the most overrated films in history. Negative - I have just seen Brokeback Mountain and agree wholeheartedly with your reviewer. The technical quality of this film is astounding. The scenery is most beautiful, and the music a delight. The performances are very strong, too, from all the leads. A problem for me was actually understanding a lot of the dialogue, which most of the time seemed to be mumbled. However, this could be a problem just from my end, because I am writing from Australia, and maybe I was just finding the dialect hard to follow. But a film is more than its technical elements, and it is in these other areas that the film falls to pieces. It offends on so many levels. The “love” between Ennis and Jack is so abhorrent. Like your reviewer, I was disgusted by many of the scenes. In fact, I had to close my eyes during the tent scene. People who have seen the film will know which scene I speak of.… Extremely Offensive / 4 Negative - In a year with so many great films, how did THIS one get so many nominations? It doesn’t hold a candle to any of the other nominees for Best Picture, and is, perhaps, the most over-hyped movie of the year. For a film to be great, it must have something to say and must say it in a way that adheres to quality standards of art. I find it frustrating when a film is lauded because of its message when the movie itself isn’t all that great. It frustrates me when Christians do it with Christian films (Left Behind movies, anybody?) and the same applies to mainstream movies. Negative - DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!! …I didn’t even get 30 minutes into it before I had to walk out. Easily one of the most offensive movies I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been watching the Oscars since I was 5. Please don’t support this abomination of film.
Negative - Brokeback Mountain is by far one of the most controversial movies of the decade and deservedly so. Personally I believe that the movie’s biggest controversy is not because this is a “Gay Cowboy” lust story, but has more to do with the fact that the critical masses have come out in droves to praise this movie as a critical masterpiece. Personally, I am appalled at the left-leaning movie industry. Not only did they close their eyes to the lack of storyline and complete lack of any humanity or morals, but they actually called this trash, not just good but great. Put aside the fact that this movie is totally about homosexuality and put in its place that the whole movie is about adultery-centered around two incredibly selfish human beings. Jack (Jake Gyllenhall) and Ennis (Heath Ledger) end up screwing up everyone’s lives around them for the pursuit of a quarterly tryst. This to me is the most disturbing part of the movie. Negative - I absolutely hated this movie. There is no way to even describe my disgust for this film. The reason for my disgust was not because it was a story between two gay men, it was the story in its entirety! It was just boring. Everyone is saying “oh, this was the most beautiful love story,” the only reason they are saying this is because they are happy to finally see a love story between two Gay people, it wouldn’t matter what the plot was as long there were Gay men in it. If they really wanted to make a good film between Two Gay people they should have made the plot more interesting, without so many offensive things, so that at least some conservative people could stand to watch it. If the story just wasn’t so ridiculous I—being a Christian—may have even stood to watch it. I fell asleep at least twice, and then just finally gave up and turned it off after 2 hours. Not only was it monotonous, but I was appalled by the amount of raunchy sexual scenes between the two men. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your money renting Brokeback Mountain, trust me on this one. |
