“And when we die, and you are sent to heaven for doing your conscience, and I am sent to hell for not doing mine, will you come with me, for fellowship?”
What doesn’t this “rever” end not understand about: Sleep with the faggots, wake up with AIDS, die, and go to hell?
He should take it up with the Boss.
He infiltrated the congregation and now he has to be responsible for it. Too bad, so sad.
Those that decided not support his leadership can start a new congregation and now learn to pick a leader in a much wiser fashion. That leader is going to only merit the position by the example he sets in word and deed.
:). Liberals don’t know Christianity...the church belongs to the Lord. A pastor is a shepherd who, if he fails his flock, ought to be removed.
Should have been a lot more than 2/3rds leaving.
This man no longer believes in Christianity, he is preaching the socialist gospel instead
Wow! talk about a wolf among the sheep! This guy is going to pay severely for misleading so many people! Thank the Lord that most of the congregation left!
The Gospel According to Rodney King - that’s a new one.
Idiot Rev trying to lead good people astray.....thankfully they didn;t all go down to HELL with him.
This vermin’s congregants are merely following St. Paul’s injunction; “come out from among them.”
Quite a surprise for this activist: "his" flock prefers the Bible to Political Correctness and they were really "His" flock. We've had adultery, polygamy, false witness, and other violations of God's Word in the closet for a long time, but that doesn't mean we need to accept those too and let them come out as something to be celebrated, and the congregation understood that better than a leader in name only, one who followed the NYT instead of the Gospel. As for more Commandments, I have enough humility to accept without even considering alternatives that God chose better than I would in that area.
I grew up in the UCC. I left in the 70’s. Our church exists today because so many congregants left lucrative stocks to the church when they passed.
The new Pastor has a life partner.
I never understood the Matthew 7 warning to those Christians who heard the words, “Get away from evildoer, I never know you.” until recently.

Sounds like the “rev” was hoist by his own petard.
Besides, if I know anything at all about Christianity (and I don’t know much) it’s not “his” church. It’s GOD’s church — built and supported by the giving hand and good works of the men and women who attend to give glory to His name and do works as He has made clear he wants them done.
If this “rev” is out of a job he has only his own hubris to blame.
Tough.
If this idiot thinks recognizing gays is a new thing, he needs to go back and read his Old Testament again.
It isn't new, it isn't change, it has been a recognized perversion and detriment to society for thousands of years.
This should be a test of every minister: Ask them this one question; can you legislate morality?
If they answer no they should be fired on the spot. In fact it is "morality" that we do legislate! Thou shalt not murder... how about that for morality? Thou shalt not steal... how about that for morality? Should pedophiles be allowed to marry? Does the "Reverend" want to legislate that morality or does he want to allow those perverts full access to their "sexual orientation?" It's a slippery slope when you choose not to legislate morality!!
The congregation did the right thing by abandoning this fool!
I posted this at the news website:
“If gay marriage is Scriptural, then why did God destroy Sodom and Gomorrah? If I read the Genesis account correctly, the cities weren’t destroyed until after the “bigots” left. It appears that the only thing standing between this nation and some serious Divine Judgement is the presence of us “bigots”.
That's the problem. They aren't followers of White, they're followers of Christ. So they left a church where the minister preached apostasy.
“And when we die, and you are sent to heaven for doing your conscience, and I am sent to hell for not doing mine, will you come with me, for fellowship?”
Apply for a government bailout.
My Grandparents always said “if the Preacher doesn't teach the Bible right, get up, walk out, and find a Church that does.”
I guess that's what happened with your congregation.
