Re: Boy Scouts Banned By Alabama Pastor Greg Walker
I didn't gloss anything over. Jesus never would've banned a sinner from a temple, period. The fact is, this preacher is equally as sinful in the eyes of god. There are no gradients of sin. So maybe he has a beer belly, or occaisonally thinks about sex. Both of those are sins and he's equally as sinful. The boyscouts didn't even sin, they just allowed a few people in who did sin (just like EVERY human being on the planet)
Denying people access to your church because you think they're sinners is the exact opposite of christianity. Too many people are making **** up to fuel their hate. This guy is a terrible christian and apparently wouldn't know the bible from his own asshole.
Wow...do you REALLY think that dodge is going to work?
Love sinners...but do not excuse sin. People ALWAYS rush to use Christ to justify their position when it is convenient but ignore the inconvenient parts. Christ absolutely showed love to the prostitute. He showed caring and compassion. He also directed her very clearly...go forth and sin no more. but...well...lets just gloss over that part.
There are no perfect people. We all fall short. Many do NOT believe homosexuality is a sin and GOOD ON THEM. They should live, love and be happy. Many believe in God and follow Christs teachings (though some just use them when it is as mentioned earlier...convenient). The preacher in question believes in the word of God and does not believe homosexuality...a sin...should be allowed. His faith...his practice...his choice. Some very judgmental types (irony there, right?) have quickly pounced on his position because he dares to not agree with them.
