Okay, now I'm getting more annoyed. Kristin Chenoweth, this Oklahoma gospel girl singer with a pronounced Southern accent, seems to be poison in a pretty package.

“Chenoweth relishes the part. ‘This series is exactly what I believe,’ she said. ‘I play a Christian on the show, and I am one in real life ... I do believe in Jesus, coming down here and dying on the cross for us. He was the most perfect man ever created ... I believe in the basic doctrine of Christianity (but) not every single thing.’”

So she believes Jesus Christ is created? Either the reporter misquoted her or she wasn't paying attention in her Southern Baptist Sunday School or her Baptist pastor has a **LOT** of explaining to do about the Trinity. I think that qualifies as a "basic doctrine of Christianity."

For those who don't recognize the implications here, at best Chenoweth's statement is Arianism, which was condemned by the Nicene Creed seventeen centuries ago; it's the same view held by Jehovah's Witnesses today, not Christianity. Realistically, Chenoweth is probably confused rather than a deliberate heretic.

This is not a minor doctrinal error. If we understand the extreme sinful wickedness of humanity since the fall of Adam and Eve, we should understand the need for the Trinity. If Jesus Christ is not both fully God and fully man, his sacrifice is not sufficient to atone for our sins. Jesus Christ is not a created being but fully God as well as being fully man.

From the same article: “’GCB’ isn’t a musical, but Chenoweth says it can speak volumes about faith. ‘I pray every day. I read the Bible. I take the meat from it daily,’ Chenoweth said with a slight laugh. ‘It feeds me. I throw away the bones of it. I don’t choke on the bones.’”

Okay, so she thinks the Bible has bones that can be thrown away. What was her church teaching? Let's hope she rejected truth, not that she was never taught truth.

Here's a video of Chenoweth explaining her career as a Country and Gospel singer, defending her role on GCB and Glee, and defending her views on homosexuality (start at 3:35 on the video):

Her theology seems to be that homosexuals are okay because God “doesn't make mistakes.”

Her theology seems to be that homosexuals are okay because God “doesn't make mistakes.”

What the secularists never seem to grasp is that, if true, this statement would also apply to murderers and rapists.

ALL of us are sinners, this is a path that man CHOSE in the Garden. Our Lord died for our sins, but He also instructed us to end our sinful behavior.

Homosexuality is one of the sins that the New Testament EXPLICITLY CONDEMNED, Christians accepted this condemnation without argument for almost twenty centuries, now the forces of evil are trying to convince well-meaning people that they no longer need to pay attention. The adage that "the road to Hell is paved with good intentions" gets thrown around a lot, but few people really stop to reflect on what it's actually saying.
