It was more polite to say that that to point out the crotch shot.
Pictures that the family denies giving him. Now what you described were two tasteless pictures which had no business in a church under any circumstances, but they're hardly the kind of pictures Pastor described. <>They did give them to the church. They have also been posted by the DMN.
So if you didn't see any of the other ones then did they exist, as the Pastor claims? Or did they not, as the family says? Or did you even see them at all?
One story had the family giving the church 75 photos, another 82, and another over a hundred. According to OneNewsNow.com, it was a female staff member that brought it to their attention, stating that the photos were 'openly homosexual.'
IT'S A CHURCH, a Christian Church. God destroyed two cites for their abominable homosexual practices. They can love the sinner while hating the sin. The church has every right to refuse to glorify his sinful lifestyle. Did you know that the family also wanted an open mike session, and the Turtle Creek Chorale, an openly gay and allegedly internationally famous group to perform in the church?
From the Church:
The issue is not whether we hold a memorial service in a lifestyle of sin. We've assisted many families in this regard. The issue is whether we would allow an openly homosexual memorial service in our church. We love the homosexual, but cannot condone the homosexual lifestyle. We could not allow homosexuality to be glorified in this house of worship.To assist the family in securing another location, an offer was made to pay for alternative venue, which the family declined. We produced for the family a memorial video they requested without the inappropriate photos. We also prepared and delivered food for the family and 100 relatives and friends. Our love for the family was demonstrated over and again in our many acts of kindness and concern. Many of our faithful members spent hours cooking and preparing the meals and our staff worked diligently to meet the needs of the family.
Many of our staff members went to the memorial service in support of the family. The memorial service located at Moore Funeral Home did confirm our concerns, as the tone was openly homosexual.
Kudos to the church for refuses to bow down to the homosexual lobby. A church is to glorify God, not a lifestyle that He condemns.
