The pastor here is opposed to male gynecaologists because apparently all of them are perverts who got the job to enjoy looking at nude women. :rolleyes:
Far more disturbing than that is the idea that the homosexuality is an unpardonable sin-ie if you’re homosexual it is impossible for you to repent in any way. Indeed one of the sermons is titled “A Time to Hate”. I haven’t downloaded the MP3 thing but it sounds quite disturbing.
We know about the hate. It makes some of us who believe very angry. Don’t preach to this group thou, most here are tender folks. They tend to act more christian than most “Christians”
Write to this church and call out the hatred every time you see it.
So, how does this priest feel about sins such as gossip, malice, and slander? If he’s actively praying for the death of President Obama, or anyone else for that matter, I’d say he’s actively practicing the sin of malice, and it’s hard to repent of a sin you’re actively committing. The reason I’m asking is those sins are repeatedly and explicitly condemned by both Christ and Paul right alongside theft, murder, and adultery and usually in the same verses. Greed turns up in those verses a lot, too. I’ll be happy to provide cites for that if anyone wants or needs them.
Curtis, I understand you’re a high school student. I still remember how vicious high school gossip can be and I know first hand the damage it can do and how untrue it can be. There’s something I’ve been wondering. Do you consider those who spread malicious gossip as sinful as homosexuals? If you don’t, why don’t you?
I guess I’m falling into the old trap of BBQ Pit debates than. But I will say this: all sins are equally sinful as the wages of sin is death. That is all.
I heard from Curtis’ sister that he drew a mustache on his pillow and practices kissing it. In fact she said that she heard he “scratches” himself in the gym class shower while other guys are around…
Oh NO! I have been seduced by the heady thrills of gossip!!!11
There is a freedom of religion in this country and my personal beliefs are between myself and my god. However, I think a religious leader should have some basic credentials. You are leading people’s spiritual lives and in a lot of cases personally affecting actions through counseling, for example. If I were a member of a church, and the paster gave his qualifications as:
I would give serious pause if I was in the right place.
Does this pastor and/or church actually do anything other than spew vitriol, though? Its one thing to ignorantly vomit your bile-infused views on your hapless congregation, its another to get them to “take action” like setting up shop at a soldier’s funeral and calling the dead a “fag” and carrying signs that say something like “God is glad your son is dead” or some such nonsense. That actually inflicts real pain on grieving families.
