Not a well-taught church. Sad!
Yet, this is no less ridiculous in the eyes of God, but there are many people calling it a noble and courageous....
Preachers don’t read the Bible anymore, so would they even know?
It would appear that God is separating the sheep from the goats.
False Christians are starting to show themselves more and more, just like the Bible predicted 2000 years ago.
And if his daughter had told him she was a prostitute he would have changed his views on Adultery.
And if his wife had been picked up for shoplifting he would have changed his views on stealing.
Jesus warned us that there would be times when we would have to choose between our love for our children and our love for Him.
This man’s choice not only put his own eternal life in Jeopardy but also those with whom he was charged with shepherding.
His choice to love his sinful child more than Christ could spell the destruction of both of them as well as many members of his congregation.
I certainly wouldn’t want to be in his shoes at the Judgment. To whom much is given.....
Again, ignorance of this disease-ridden lifestyle, the shortened lifespan, and the vectoring of myriads diseases, often to children, should be considered. Too many people think the issue is about love, when the problem is a monstrous public health issue.
Then resign from being Pastor. You certainly no longer are one.
Once again we see this openly deceptive tactic of blaming "the church" for a)opposing homosexuality; and, b)falsely equating opposing homosexuality with hating those who have succumbed to this practice.
The reality is that it is the Almighty God who is opposed to the practice of homosexuality and prohibited its practice. It is God who said that those who practice homosexuality and do not repent from this sinful activity, like all sinful behavior, will not receive eternal salvation.
Therefore, what this "pastor" is now openly embracing (the practice of homosexuality) is clearly something God opposes. This pastor blames the church for this "cruelty". This pastor is now paraphrasing the Serpent in the Garden: "Did God really say you shouldn't practice homosexuality?"
It appears that homosexuality and same-sex marriages are becoming accepted behavior. The mantra is that we must treat everyone equal. Polygamy cannot be far behind. If we allow two people of the same sex to marry, how can we prohibit two men and a woman or two women and a man to marry? How will this “church” view this behavior?
Once the rudder has been removed, the vessel is at the mercy of the winds and the currents.
Romans: 1 pastor. Quit now so your congregation can find someone more in line with scripture.

Third way? There is only ONE way and it is Jesus!
He belongs in California. Stay out there. Stay out of the South.
The circumstances of our lives do not change scripture.
Danny Cortez, who leads New Heart Community Church in La Mirada, explained his journey in a letter to progressive Christian blogger John Shore, founder of Unfundamentalist Christians, last month. At the end of that journey, his son came out to him as gay.
The church broke with the SBC's stance. I'd bet the church doesn't stay SBC for much longer.
You know how in pro-life matters, you want to encourage people to finish the sentence? I.e., pro-choice = pro-choice to abort your unborn child.
We are going to have to do the same thing re: homosexuality. “Coming out” sounds so nice. How about “coming out and saying that you enjoy putting your private parts into receptacles of fecal material”? Or some other less clumsy formulation.
This tide is not going to turn until people are forced to put aside the rainbows and look at the ghastly, unhealthy facts.
Something incredibly powerful is moving with this homosexuality push in the last decade. Things are happening with increasing regularity, that just a few years ago no one could have dreamed.
It’s coming to a point where conservatives like here on FR and a few other places are finding themselves in a smaller and smaller minority. Either we have this whole thing all wrong, or the world really is becoming as Satanic and apathetic as is foretold for the end times.
It’s astounding.
