But in usual liberal fashion - they hear what they want to hear and shape the facts to fit their agendas...
From WND --
On the third day of her televised "Best Life" week-long series, even Oprah Winfrey was stunned to hear one of her pastor panelists, Rev. Ed Bacon, declare, "Being gay is a gift from God."Bacon, in exchange for TV lights, allowed his statements to be misconstrued.... he said being created is a gift from God - NOT that being an ass pirate is a gift from God.
The comment was made earlier this month on the "Your Spiritual Journey" segment of Winfrey's "Best Life Week" by Rev. Bacon of the All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena, Calif., a church described by Pasadena Weekly as "one of the most socially progressive religious institutions in America."
"Tell us, what did you mean by that comment?" Winfrey asked.
"I meant exactly what I said," Bacon responded with a wide smile. "It is so important for every human being to understand that he or she is a gift from God, and particularly people who are marginalized and victimized in our culture. Gay and lesbian people are clearly outcasts in many areas of our life, and it is so important for them to understand that when God made them, God said, 'You are good.'" More...
I agree that gay people are a gift from God, though they have lost their way and must be found. I am sure God still loves them and looks at them as his children... but many of us know - his children can't come home if they are gay!

= RELIGION VS. FAITH

===========================================
Religion is making-up a god to fit your definitions and image.
Faith is listening to what God has already communicated, living according to God's standards and being transformed through His power.
The Oprah message is just another "religion" - a really nice man-made belief system having no bearing on God's teachings.
Jesus was the Prince of Peace and embodiment of God in flesh - able to feed thousands with nothing, heal the sick and bring the dead back to life. His message was simple; God is inviting you into His Kingdom. But people reject Him because they want religion "their way" instead of "God's Way"
Those people who have overcome their same-sex compulsion and restored their heterosexual nature, describe homosexuality as a compulsion, similiar to alcoholism or drug addiction. I would not consider that a DIVINE RIGHT and the Bible clearly puts it into the category of sin.
When it comes to hell, for people who clinically die and are revived, most have an out of body experience where they plunge into Hell, as documented by Dr. Rawlings (a former atheist).

Why don't you tell us your feelings about swallowing man meat, King?
ReplyDeleteDoes Rob taste good? Does he hold your ears? What does Steve do when this is going on? Does he take pictures? Or, does Steve just make yummy noises?
