Views on homosexuality from a prayer channel - UPDATE!- response to email!

I am watching this boring liveprayer channel which usually helps me fall asleep because it is soooo boring. However, somehow this caught my attention. This guy has people call up and he gives them hope and 'calls' G-d to help them and talks to G-d for these people. I am not into religion at all, in fact, I think I don't particular belong to a specific religion. Anyway- you've got to hear about this guy. Take a seat, a deep breath, you are in for a turbulent ride.
Obviously this next paragrph is paraphazed of what he said as I cannot remember it word for word but you will get the general idea.

Anyway- He was saying how a family was at a family getogether and a 10 year old girl told them that she is gay. The mother was horrified and told her that she couldn't be gay.
This guy is going on and on about how nobody IS gay. Gay is a perverted choice people make. Two women don't fit. Two men don't fit. G-d created women for men and men for women. Babies cannot come from homosexuals. This is a perverted choice that indivuduals make. He is convincing gay people to call in to him and he will pray for and with them to G-d and that G-d will help them come out of this dirty way and have them became a normal living human being with a clean mind.
He is saying that you cannot say you were born that way; that is just an excuse. *Direct quote*- "Homosexuals care about their sin more than about rightousness. If one cares to become part of this cult, one cannot deny oneself as a lunatic. If you are making this perverted decision, you are overiding G-d's words and the bible." *Direct quote* "I am going to pray for G-d to heal those whose body, soul and mind corrupt the life that the great Lord has planned."

Now that I am frustrated and ready to throw the TV out the window or do something to that guy...
I am going to turn on another channel and take some deep relaxing breaths, and try to sleep.

Please do not throw stones at me as none of this expresses my opionion. This is fully the words of the guy on the liveprayer TV channel. Again, these words are not exact except for those in quotation marks (" ")

Something interesting that I discovered a month or so ago. There was a thread on here about some preacher passing out little bags of stones to go stone homosexuals and how it says that homosexuality is against the word of God. I went to his website and there is a search engine there to search for things in the Bible. I entered in the word homosexuality and nothing came up. The word homosexuality is not in the Bible.

I will not sit here and try to say that God says this or God says that because I am not one for putting words into His mouth, but my belief is that love is love and Jesus said to love one another. How can love be wrong. I can't stand how Christians are getting such a bad rap from these guys who go on TV and scream and damn everyone. They are not God so they can not judge anyone. They need to remember that little "Let he without sin cast the first stone" lesson from the Bible. Because of these people I get dirty looks and snarky comments when I tell people I am a Christian. Not all of us feel or act that way.

REPENT SINNERS!

lol

This guy sounds like my dad. Was it my dad? I'll have to ask if he is doing tv now.

If it's a perverted choice then why do 1 in 10 people make that "choice" in such a homophobic hateful world.

Homosexuality is as much a choice as being an idiot is.

I HATE homophobes.

Actually, I was just thinking deeply into this subject and realized: God has contradicted himself. If sex is such a sin, hen why is homosexuality such a sin? Honestly. I think it is really stupid how people can't be with people they really love all because of some choice. This world has gone insane.

And another thing: (This is not anti-semitic, nor is it trying to be.) Christians celebrate Jesus, and He was a Jew. Christians hate Jews. Religion is just one ridicules list of beliefs and limits, and constantly contradicts itself.

That's my tuppence.

In fact, God ENCOURAGES sex. As long as the two are married/conjoined before...sex..ing. Sex is a gift from God, not a sin.


I don't know where you're getting the thing about Christian/Jewish hate...Is this about the Crusades?



Oh, and Kel. BEAUTIFULLY put.

Aigoo, the Crusades was the Christians versus the Muslims. But you'd probably have to go back that far to find a case of the Church openly expressing hatred towards Jews.

Thank you KelRel. I'm not Christian myself, but my mom's entire side of the family is and they all support gay rights. I was talking to someone the other day who said "Christianity isn't the problem, it's people's insane interpretations of it". I thought that fit well in here. :)

"It's the Muslims that Christians hate..."

WHAT? REALLY? You know this how? Please don't speak for an entire group of people.

Christians hate Muslims?????? That's news to me. I'm a Christian and work with several Muslims. They are devout in their faith and truly lovely people. When I was recovering from the car accident I was in last year they called me regularly and were willing to drive all the way out here to bring me to doctors and help with my grocery shopping. We also spend our luch hours sharing our religious beliefs. These people are also highly regarded by other members of the staff.

Oh yeah, my Muslim friends are keenly aware of my homosexuality. Although the Koran preaches against it, these people have done research about the topic and have decided for themselves that homosexuality is organic and therefore can't be sinful.

I'm truly blessed to have my Muslim friends. Our pastor frequently cites passages from the Koran in his sermons, so I can't believe that Christians hate the Islamic people.
