1. You are under no obligation to accept this man’s teachings,sexuality,or anything else about him.

2. That said, consider that he is as God made him,and that he may yet serve His purpose in some manner beyond easy mortal comprehension.

3. His obvious and open sexuality make him an easy target for derision and scorn; but, if you love and serve God as you evidently seek to do,the parable of the (much-scorned) Good Samaratin (sp?)should come to mind, and cause you to consider your response rather carefully.

4. Why not wait to see what his prayer is before condemning it a priori ?

1. So no one should ever argue against his teachings? Stand up to his errors in teaching? Whether I choose to accept his teachings or not is not the question. Should I not argue for the Faith with an Atheist? Satanist? He has made his sexuality the central point of his existence. If that is non-debatable than what is?

2. God made him a man. No one should try and correct him even though he is going down the wrong path? Should Christ have not told the prostitute to “Go and sin no more”? I hope he repents and joins the church once again. Until that happens, can you honestly say he’s serving His purpose other than being a warning to the orthodox?

3. I fail to see any connection between this subject and the Good Samaratin parable. You apparently are more concerned about treating this man nicely because of his chosen sexuality than you are in providing instruction and correction where error has occurred.

4. I wasn’t condemning his prayer. I have no right too. With that said I would hope his prayer would be more along the lines of: “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner”. Somehow, I doubt it will be such.
