Beware the rage of the faggies, Reverend. These are not nice people, there’s really nothing “gay” about them.

"Prayer is the movement of our heart towards God and the main thing is we need to pray because you could pray in any position, anytime, anywhere … it does not matter where you pray, the main thing is just pray."

Yep. And have, even if it's only the size of a mustard seed, your faith to back it up.

[struggle]

The thing we all need to remember is that the farthest fallen need the most love and patience - they don’t know how they got there, but they need us to help them out.

We Christians are all sinners and understand our lifelong battle with sin, and with that battle comes deliverance.

Love the sinner and be bold in Christ’s name.

"Pastor Laurie's message is out of step with what the majority of people of faith across this country believe," said Dr. Sharon Groves, director of HRC's Religion & Faith Program.

About as "majority" as that 90% figure Obysmal keeps referencing in relation to gun control. God or equality sodomy? I pick God.

[Mr Rogers]

Love the sinner, but don’t pretend sin isn’t sin. Pray for homosexuals to repent, not accept them as they are. As Jesus put it: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”

As for America...I’m beginning to think I need to pray for its judgment. But if Nineveh could repent, maybe America can, even now.

Dr. Sharon Groves, director of HRC’s Religion & Faith Program apparently has never read the Bible. God says to love the sinner, but hate the sin. Homosexuality is sin, plain and simple.

God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.

"In the immortal words of the great theologian Tom Petty, 'I won't back down,' I won't. I'm not going to apologize."

Or as another, much greater, theologian put it - "Here I stand. I can do no other. May God have mercy on me."

Beware the rage of the faggies, Reverend.

The demons always screech the loudest when they're being cast out.
Satan has been cast down to earth having great rage - because he knows he has but little time.

The good Reverend will fold like a wet towel when the Feds threaten to yank his church’s tax exemption. I respect his speaking out about his convictions however.

"In greater numbers than ever before, people of faith are feeling compelled to speak up and organize for equality – because of their faith."

That's pretty much exactly what the people of the time told Jeremiah and Isaiah. As for me, "Let God be true and every man a liar."

[Abby4116]

Greg Laurie will NOT fold.

[Maelstorm]

Excellent! I guarantee that real people of faith do not support homosexuality. Not agreeing with homosexual behavior is not bigotry or hatred it is simply commonsense. The whole idea of homosexual normalcy is counterintuitive progressive bs.

[Not A Snowbird]

"Pastor Laurie's message is out of step with what the majority of people of faith across this country believe...

Poppycock. Where do they dream up these ridiculous stats?

Pray on, Pastor Laurie.

Yeah. That happens.
(I've been caught by "spoof" articles before. Now, I always make it a point to look at the source of the article, because sometimes the spoof is so close to the truth, it's hard to tell!)
