From the article:
"Biblical literalists like to point to Old Testament passages condemning homosexuality, but New Life's theology holds that Christians can't pick and choose. Either all the Old Testament prohibitions are still in force—including a ban on eating catfish, New Life literature notes—or they're not and it's time to stop demonizing gays."

Hmmm
...A disingenuous and devilish deception if I ever saw one.

That will help Duncan's ministry.

Well, as far as that goes, he didn't need any help in that area, he can tear the piano and organ up himself. He was our choir leader for years.

But his therapist said it was okay.

The idea of an openly homosexual person speaking in tongues is still one I can't wrap my brain around.

I had a friend from Bible College who turned out to be gay.

Just one?

I think the friends from JCM you and I had that turned out to be gay could fill Reliant Stadium.

These are dark days indeed and we must be vigilant in Prayer and fasting because things like this are coming at us more and more, the spirits of this world are seeking all they can because the end of time is coming to a close

One question remains, did anyone try to restore these men in the spirit when they fell, or were the Kicked to the ground like most do these days in the Apostolic church?

There is another thread by thad about a " gay" church in which i could not find one irrefutable " Gay " thing about " pastor reba rambo's " church or any mention of them being a "homosexual" church on their website, they look backslid, but a homosexual church? anybody got hard facts about this? i have not seen any, ain't that what the Bible calls gossip?Are we reduced to looking at these men through eyes that have no understanding? i am not advocating Homosexuality in any way, but when we condemn them in such a manor how are Homosexuals supposed to want to be apostolic as long as we treat them like some of the Secular churches do?


I do not know what circumstances these two men left the UPC it does not surprise me, there is a place in the UPC at Beacon ministries where people like that can go and get restored or to come out of that lifestyle if that is where they started from. how is the world going to Judge us if we point fingers and say, Homo in that Church, Homo in this other church, Ex upc Gay Church blah blah blah.

I am sorry if i seem to come off hard on this but we need to have compassion and mercy towards our fellow humans if we are going to win them.

Something to ponder

In Christ

The front page of their website used to say blatantly that they were accepting of all lifestyles; they have removed it now. I know someone whose brother attends church there because they accept gay Christianity and they have told him that it's ok.
