White House streams bishop saying 'the devil' makes people gay
Press Reader ^ | 22nd January 2020 | Zoe Tidman

THE White House has livestreamed a church service which saw the US vice-president speak and a bishop claim “the devil” causes homosexuality.

After Mike Pence addressed the congregation in Tennessee, the preacher took to the pulpit to talk about same-sex relations in a sermon still available on the administration’s YouTube channel.

“It is a demonic spirit that causes a woman to want to live with another woman,” he said. “It is a demonic spirit that causes a man to be attracted to another man.”

The preacher, who has been named as Bishop Jerry Wayne Taylor, claimed the “devil” was trying to “destroy the foundation of marriage” and “cut off the reproduction process”.

“Two men can’t have a baby. Two women can’t have a baby,” he told the crowd at the Holy City Church of God in Christ.

The White House has been condemned on social media for streaming the sermon.

One person tweeted: “Did I misunderstand the part about separation of church and state?”

The vice-president – known for his religious conservatism – said he visited the Memphis church to celebrate its anniversary and Martin Luther King, the day before a national holiday commemorated the civil rights leader.

After Mr Pence spoke, the bishop told the crowd homosexuality was against nature.

“You never see two male animals coming together,” he said – though research has found that over 1,500 species engage in homosexual behaviour.

The White House defended Mr Pence from accusations of homophobia by claiming the fact he met Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and his partner showed he was not “anti-gay”, but Donald Trump reportedly once joked Mr Pence “wanted to hang all gay people”.

Exactly which part of what was that that you misunderstood?

“Reportedly”?
The normal fake, made up news anyone?

Well, it sure ain’t God that lures them.

Romans 1:22-32 (NEW Testament)

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

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 recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

He’s right on the baby making.

Yeah, better watch out for those church service streamings ‘cause they’ll jump out of that tweet and cootie-cize you. /s

"research has found that over 1,500 species engage in homosexual behavior".

In captivity, but not in the wild. Captivity is hardly a natural environment. There are no examples of animals which actually prefer their own sex over the opposite one.

When one animal sodomizes another is it because of love?

Or is it simply animalistic behavior?

“You never see two male animals coming together,” he said – though research has found that over 1,500 species engage in homosexual behaviour.

By that reasoning, some dogs are "human-leg-sexual" or "couch -arm-rest-sexual".

I read a study debunking the gay animals claim, I just wish I could find it again. But from I what I read in the rare instances when homosexuality happens amongst animals it’s normally due to misidentification.

Totally fake news, since Pence demanded as IN guv that the IN legislature rewrite legislation intended to protect Christian businesses. If anything, by this example, Pence cannot be relied upon to protect Christians

That’s a bit strong for me, politically speaking, mixing religion with the implied political imprimatur of the WH. I don’t think its a good look for the WH to stream. Nor did I think Obama should have promoted Muslim talking pointsand celebrations, either.

Bishop Jerry Wayne Taylor is black.

As such - any opposition to what he said is RAYCISS.

Why do liberals hate black people? I just don’t understand.
