Where in His earthly ministry did Jesus ever approach someone in this manner?
Goodness....just some good old fashioned common sense should've dictated better behavior.
And apparently, she totally missed it when Jesus said to treat others the way you would want to be treated.

Someone should have at least taught her some manners. Looks like she learned the lesson the hard way. I would imagine she's got some hefty legal bills?

Jesus was pretty rough with the religious and holiness folks of His time. Read Matthew chapter 23.

Yep, no doubt He was.
Guess she missed that part too.

I read this and thought "For pete's sake, she can have her opinion". It says "they" were in a conversation about gays. Was the woman harassing her? Following her around and stalking her? Or did she just give her her opinion. "Screaming over her" is very relative. It doesn't mean much to me.

The problem lies in was this the correct attitude to have toward the lost. I have been in the UPC for 31 years and have seen this attitude over and over again. There are at least four great errors this individual made: 1) We can hate the sin but not the sinner. Jesus did not hate the hypocrites in the synagogues. Jesus hated hypocrisy.
2) Let's remember that we must obstain from evil communication, this means gossip, dirty jokes, and debating mute issues that have no productivity. If she were to sit down with the individual who was Homosexual and tell her about Jesus and tell her that Jesus LOVES her and that there were ways for her to feel freedom for her, that would have been profitable. 3) As Christians we need to show Christ in our WORK ETHIC, we need to shine Christ on the work floor and in the break room. 4) we need to remember that as Pentecostal Apostolic's we are being watched at all times, it is our job to present ourselves as a grounded knowledgeable individuals not as ranting hatemongers. This lady's behavior did not reach the high standards we must hold ourselves too, nor was she fired because of religious discrimination she was fired because she has no inner monologue.

Please forgive the error above. under item number 2) The phrase is MOOT ISSUE, Not MUTE ISSUE, I dislike auto-correct.

Sounds like a set up...they were already discussing it and she voiced her opinion
