Pastors: Homosexuality not a sin (100 ordained Christian ministers have signed the proclamation)
OneNewsNow ^ | 07/20/2011 | Russ Jones

A group of Omaha pastors has issued a proclamation that states homosexuality is not a sin.

More than 100 ordained Christian ministers have signed the proclamation, including leaders from Lutheran, Episcopalian, United Church of Christ, United Methodist, and Presbyterian churches.

David Bydalek is executive director of Family First, the family policy council for the state of Nebraska. He deems this effort troubling for many Nebraskans and contends the ministers involved are from liberal denominations that do not respect the orthodox biblical teaching on homosexuality.

Wow...I didn’t realize there was a GLBT version of the Bible. That’s one I’m going to pass on...

All of these denominations accept divorce too so no big surprise.

I could easily find 100 pastors around here that will disagree.

I guess the next proclamation they will sign is that adultery is okee-dokee, theft is considered cool and worshiping a tree is just grand. /s

Pastors are not the authority. God is the authority. They are just siding with Satan. So much for their ‘shepherding’ of their flocks.

“All scripture is God breathed”

Kind of hard to get around that one.

While they are not mine to ultimately judge, you will never find me inside one their churches.

This is why my wife and I read the bible, pray together and do so at home. Many "modern" churches are nothing more than country clubs or social experiments.

No need for the /s.

Much of this is already true for many “christian ministers”.

This is good news. At this rate, Murder will be given a pass by next year. Then I will really be able to "take out the trash" with a clear conscience. Thank you Progressive, Commie Pinko Pastors.

I guess that whole part where God says it is, is not relevant then. Huh?

To: Kakaze; All

A good word for these apostates today:

Malachi 2

2And now, O priests, this command is for you. 2If you will not listen, if you will not lay it to heart to give glory to my name, says the Lord of hosts, then I will send the curse on you and I will curse your blessings; indeed I have already cursed them,* because you do not lay it to heart. 3I will rebuke your offspring, and spread dung on your faces, the dung of your offerings, and I will put you out of my presence.*

4 Know, then, that I have sent this command to you, so that my covenant with Levi may hold, says the Lord of hosts. 5My covenant with him was a covenant of life and well-being, which I gave him; this called for reverence, and he revered me and stood in awe of my name. 6True instruction was in his mouth, and no wrong was found on his lips. He walked with me in integrity and uprightness, and he turned many from iniquity. 7For the lips of a priest should guard knowledge, and people should seek instruction from his mouth, for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts. 8But you have turned aside from the way; you have caused many to stumble by your instruction; you have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says the Lord of hosts, 9and so I make you despised and abased before all the people, inasmuch as you have not kept my ways but have shown partiality in your instruction.

The Covenant Profaned by Judah

10 Have we not all one father? Has not one God created us? Why then are we faithless to one another, profaning the covenant of our ancestors? 11Judah has been faithless, and abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the sanctuary of the Lord, which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god. 12May the Lord cut off from the tents of Jacob anyone who does this—any to witness* or answer, or to bring an offering to the Lord of hosts.

13 And this you do as well: You cover the Lord’s altar with tears, with weeping and groaning because he no longer regards the offering or accepts it with favour at your hand. 14You ask, ‘Why does he not?’ Because the Lord was a witness between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant. 15Did not one God make her?* Both flesh and spirit are his.* And what does the one God* desire? Godly offspring. So look to yourselves, and do not let anyone be faithless to the wife of his youth. 16For I hate* divorce, says the Lord, the God of Israel, and covering one’s garment with violence, says the Lord of hosts. So take heed to yourselves and do not be faithless.

17 You have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet you say, ‘How have we wearied him?’ By saying, ‘All who do evil are good in the sight of the Lord, and he delights in them.’ Or by asking, ‘Where is the God of justice?’
