Re: T.D. Jakes, Mr. Obama, and Gay Marriage...

Sharp contrast between the celebrity preachers of today and the preachers and prophets of old.

Hebrews 11

Yes I agree.Surely we don't have to go The Westburg Baptist route but we can in a kind way take a stand on things the scriptures condemn.

Brother Hutchinson... can you unpack a little what point your trying to make by the two links you posted? Unless you state what your point is, I can only assume, and don't want to assume inappropriately.

At any rate, though Jakes has made statements before that he believes homosexuality is a sin.. he hasn't said a thing since Obama made his declaration... and I think he needs to.

Yes, if only for accountability's sake.

Perhaps he is in prayer to the Lord on how to respond to this matter?

Nevertheless, I am of the opinion that politicians make statements to increase their chances of election, not because they actually have these opinions themselves. Politicians have been using the gay community for the votes, a political football, then reneging on their promises for decades now. Just like the abortion issue.

Did you read the article? Jakes is considered one of "the Five" which are the top spiritual advisors to the President... and Jakes was one of the ones called into a conference call with the President almost immediately after Barry made his new views known on gay marriage. That level of participation brings about with it a requirement and responsibility to say something.... his lack of communication on the new viewpoint from Mr. Obama leaves room for presumption of agreement with the President.

Re: T.D. Jakes, Mr. Obama, and Gay Marriage...

I just thought these articles are interesting.I feel Bishop Jakes should make a public statement about the president's declaration.I believe Bishop Jakes is against homosexuality and gay marriage.

Re: T.D. Jakes, Mr. Obama, and Gay Marriage...

I believe that as well... which then seems to make him contradict himself to a degree if he refuses to make a comment... considering his relationship with Obama.
