JD Jakes and ALL of his ilk are after ONE THING, MONEY!
Someone bigger than me once said, A HOUSE DIVIDED CANNOT STAND.
Jakes is a hustler, he will do whatever the fascist Democrat Party wants him to.
Jakes’ position is crystal clear. Only a person who doesn’t want to believe it would require “clarification.”
“Bishop”....pfffft
God’s Word does not evolve.
Amen to that!!
T.D. Jakes is a oneness Pentecostal and therefore is not s Christian.
Exactly, hirelings like TD Jakes need to get right with God! Their departure from the faith is destroying Christianity in America. Light has no part with darkness...and Christians are not to be unequally yoked with false teachers. Don’t forget, Jesus was hardest on the Pharisees. They were the “Bible conservatives” of the day, but they were headed for hell because of their rejection of God’s Word.
"...but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way."
And now, as the harvest draws near, worldly winds begin to winnow the wheat from the tares.
Yup. Mega-churches are a business, designed to bring in as many paying customers as possible. So whatever becomes acceptable to the general public is A-ok.
Many come but some don’t pay.
Bishop Fakes
What's so complex about the issue? The bible, aka God's Word, is not ambiguous about the issue, He spells it out as clearly as he does any other sin.
LEVITICUS 18:22 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."
Leviticus 20:13 "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lyeth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death"
What part of those versed doesn't he understand? Seems pretty clear to me.
It is an abomination to His commandment to be fruitful and to multiply.
Can you be in an active homosexual relationship and be a true follower of Jesus at the same time?
Turning back to G_d starts with penitence. How that qualifies in His eyes I do not pretend to know. I do know that He knows us by our fruits, one of which is certainly by procreation.
Wrong person FR friend.
Romans 1:27 - And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
Chapter 1 of Paul's letter to the Roman Christians cites several of the most egregious sins of the people who lived prior to the flood, and cited homosexual acts performed by both men and women as one of the most offensive to God's holiness. I would think that a man who claims to be called by God to proclaim the Gospel of Christ would know that as well as a layman like myself.
Didn’t he son get busted for soliciting sex from men in a park?
We can't make the Word of God conform to our ideas. We get inspiration, thinking it is must be God directing us, and run with it.
God's word never changes. The word doesn't evolve, but our understanding of it does. It is useful in every stage and every problem of life. It doesn't contradict itself either. The bottom line is if we already know the answer to what is good then God is expecting us to use the knowledge, not ask the same question because we want a different answer.
You can't be "walking humbly" while looking for a way to make God suit your purpose. Jakes wants God to conform to something that His word has already said is wrong.
That does not remove the fact that the Leviticus reference is inapt. Different audience. Some people address the phenomenon, not with the focused anger of God that would deliver if at all possible, but with the rage of man that tries to heap up any straw of condemnation to get it out of his hair.
