W on Homosexuality: ‘I Shouldn’t Take Speck Out of Someone’s Eye When I Have A Log in My Own’
During a recent trip to Africa to help renovate a cancer screening clinic in Zambia, former president George W. Bush used Scripture to outline his belief that the world should not be “overly critical” of homosexuality.
A Zambian reporter had asked Bush how he feels about the issue of same-sex “marriage,” and whether it is compatible with Christianity.
“I shouldn’t be taking a speck out of someone else’s eye when I have a log in my own,” he said, referring to the words of Christ in Matthew 7:3.
Later, ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl asked Bush about his comments, but he declined to elaborate further, stating that he was no longer involved in politics.
“I meant that I’m not going to answer the question then and I’m not going to answer it now in terms of the political question about whether or not [it's compatible with Christianity]. I just don’t want to weigh back in the debate,” he responded. “I’m out of politics.”
“But, I meant it’s very important for people not to be overly critical of someone else until you’ve examined your own heart,” Bush added.
