Can you say "Tawana Brawley"?
"As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways, so don't worry about that; that's a temporary situation." -Al Sharpton on Mitt Romney and Mormonism 2007
“Reverend” Al should be aware that the proper focus of Christian Churches should be Jesus Christ.
Homosexuality IS a social woe you “White-Washed Tomb full of dead men’s bones.”
Why is this individual even given the time of day?
Sexual immorality is the single greatest cause of poverty and the spread of aids. 1 Thess 4:1-8 relate God’s command against sexual immorality, and states who ever rejects that command has rejected God.
Sharpston got the roles of ministers/churches confused with politicians/government programs a loooooong time ago!
Liberal = Gray
Conservative = Black and White.
Makes sense to be a conservative minded one IMO.
I'm a minority it appears these days however...
Trust in God, question everyone else.
As long as we are prescribing moral behavior for someone else, how about you, Al, focusing on moral and social woes like ripping black babies from the wombs of their mothers in the name of convenience? How about focusing on black men who refuse to be anything more than a donor? How about focusing on the evil of fostering dependence of your people on the secular god called Government? How about focusing on healing the racial divide in this country? What? You would lose your livelihood? Then don’t lecture someone else or some other organization on their choice of focus, you hypocrite.
Sharpton called out ministers who speak out against politically popular causes, but don’t have the courage to live their convictions.
Where are the black ministers speaking about personal responsiblity and liberty to their congregations in New York, Chicago, Detroit and LA?
They're AWOL! They're advocating gun control; marching in state capitols for more money for black neighborhoods, public transportation, public health and welfare.
Sharpton, of all people, has no business advising any church or churches about political activism.
When Al Sharpton gets the “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor” thing straightened out, he can talk to me about other moral issues.
Churches Should Follow Rev. Sharpton’s Advice
NOT!
“focus on social woes not gay marriage” in announcing he would focus on gay marriage??
You should talk Al! The "real" churches are focused much much more on relieving poverty, comforting those in need, and helping and loving people...its the "progressive" churches that are more focused on influencing government policy.
Sharpton fails to see the difference between incidents and policy.
A sin is that which injures a person, a community, or a relationship with God.
An abomination is a sin that gravely injures a person, a community, or a relationship with God.
Homosexuality is not accidentally or arbitrarily an abomination. “Abomination” is not calling “bad names” or engaging in “outrageous labeling.”
It’s an effort to accurately describe an act with terrible, deadly consequences.
he is not a real rev! he is a liar and a cheat. a wolf in sheeps clothing.
God forbid that Churches should actually preach morality.
Uh oh...
