His quote that he is in a same sex marriage with Jesus goes far beyond believing that God accepts homosexuality.

I bet his favorite movie is "Jesus Christ Superstar".

While I commend Sis. Rhoni, (and would not hesitate to publicly debate CG or anyone else on this topic) and share the same principled sorrow for the delusion which CG has succumbed to, the sad reality is that such a debate would never be profitable if held at his invitation/venue. Remember whose arena you would be in. Any national TV network that would host such a debate would be undeniably biased in favor of the homosexual agenda, and the debate would not be fair and equitable.

Even when you listen to people who are "fair and balanced," when someone with an opposing view begins to make a point that requires consideration, they are immediately shut down. IMO this would be the same.

I think the challenge should come from one of us, and be in a venue where equal and fair time can be guaranteed to be given each side following the rules/structure of debate. JMHO

I have debated on Television more than once. I have always tried to be VERY prepared. Sometimes it goes good and sometimes not so good. A lot depends upon the moderator or host and yes, the venue.

Sometimes I have walked away feeling like I slew the dragon, and other times I have wanted to crawl into a hole and NEVER do that again!

I know CG and his ex wife and children...I know his father and mother in law...So I think I can say this as a person who knows quite a bit.
Rhoni is my friend but Rhoni I would never encourage you to debate CG. I would encourage you if opportunity knocks to speak up anywhere Bible standards and roles for men...However the Bible talks about casting pearls before the swine...

I think it would be a waste of time for CG knows how to make people look like fools...He can debate trinity and oneness and win on either side!

I cannot believe CG is happy because I read his blogs...They ring so empty, deceived and sometimes quite sickening.

I really feel deeply sorry for him (more sorry for his ex and children )and all that went on...for CG had a lot of talent but never had balance...He did not have balance in oneness and neither does he have balance where he is at. His blogs reveal that.

I do not take up for gays however in my line of work I know some...they have much more balance that he does.

Such a waste...the devil must be very happy with that trophy... I weep...

I do not mean for anyone to think I am calling CG a swine...I only quoted a scripture from the Bible.

I read his blogs and you're right, they are VERY strange. I have to admit, I've not read anything like that before. This is not the writing of a balanced, peaceful, satisfied individual, IMO. They are the writings of someone drastically trying to justify their life choice........and not doing a very good job of it.
