“Isn’t this exactly the type of pastor we all need?”

Indeed. But I still wouldn’t leave him alone with my teenage sons, lol.

I don't know that it would be much different than leaving a heterosexual male pastor alone with your teenage daughters.

It would seem that neither circumstance would be wise--for the sake of appearances if nothing else.

I would imagine that he'd tell you the same thing. One way that God through Jesus tells us how to deal with sin is to avoid sinful situations. That's one way to do it.

The real problem with the sin of Homosexuality is it isn’t easy to HIDE.

You can be a thief and steal for YEARS.

You can be a Liar and always make excuses.

You can just be an outright SOB and people just say “its his way”.

But if you LUST after your own, that gets people freaky.

Which is WHY the sodomites who glory in it, do not WANT the struggle of hiding it, they want acceptance OF it.

For this guy to “come out” but not “give in” is exceptional. Courageous. Worthy.

Now, that you KNOW his weakness of the flesh, of course you won’t want to put him or your children into the path of temptation.

But say his sin was THEFT... if you KNEW THAT you wouldn’t hire him as you bookkeeper either.

So it isn’t the sin it’s the KNOWING.

Which is why the Word says LOVE COVERS a Multitude of Sins.
