It's all fine and good to believe the Bible and preach against sin, but we are dealing with people here, sinners, just like you and me.

Because my sins are not theirs, why do I have a right to single out them for denunciation? Their's is only one of the sins condemned in the book of Romans. What about the others?

I despise political correctness and this culture that would jail an innocent pastor who preaches the Gospel. But in the process of fighting wickedness, we have to spread God's grace to this terribly suffering class of people.

A young gay man once came to me saying I was the first pastor he could ask a troubling question to. It was: "Why does your church hate me? What did I ever do to them?" I wept in his presence.

Never forget the grace we have been shown. Without love, we are loud, clanging cymbals.

The homosexual activists have been waging war on traditional, basic morality for 30 years. Along with Planned Parenthood/abortion promoters, "sex positive" sex ed, and others. But the homosexual activists are at the vanguard.

You don't think that conservatives should stand up and tell the truth about the "gay" life, that it is immoral, unhealthy, unnatural, and most important - that they can change?

BTW, there are no "Incestors' Pride" Parades, "Adulterers' Pride" Parades, "Bestiophiles' Pride" Parades.

Or "Liars' Pride" Parades, "Extortioners' Pride" Parades. Etc. So the practitioners of other sins don't seem to be taking it to the max in the same manner.

You appear to be confused on at least two points...

  1. There is nothing 'gay' about the homosexual disorder or homosexual activity

  2. We are created in God's image and as such merit respect -an individual that identifies by his/her disordered sexual predisposition denies his God given humanity and is actually claiming to be nothing more than an animal.
No Christian should treat another as an animal even if they misguidely wish it so. Charity comprised in part by fraternal correction requires His truth be communicated -unambiguoiusly communicated...

Homosexuality is the only one of those sins that we are constantly told we must accept and embrace, or else we are evil bigots. That's why homosexuality is singled out. There are no groups of adulterers, for instance, demanding that children in schools be taught that adultery is wonderful and just as good as fidelity, or thieves demanding that children be taught that thievery is a wonderful lifestyle choice to be embraced. That is the difference.

Are you assuming that Pastor Åke Green has given only one sermon? Pastor Green as Christ's shepherd does have a right to speak on one single issue (though logic dictates he speaks on all issues relevant to his congregation). Pastor Green has a right as a child of God to speak on one sinlge issue (knowing he speaks on other issues as well). However it appears, Pastor Green as a Swede does not have a right to speak on one single issue. Did you read his sermon? Where did he condemn the sinner? He quoted God's word -- it is the word of God that clearly explains the consequences of sin. It is a loving God and a loving servant of God that admonishes the sinner.
