Great point. Needs to be emailed to the pastor.

Because there is no Authority.

He now believes God accepts homosexual behavior. Who is to tell this pastor what he teaches is wrong?

Also, consider all the Jewish people from all over the world who have and are now reuniting with their homeland Israel. God’s time clock is running down. Look up and be ready.

Romans: 1 pastor. Quit now so your congregation can find someone more in line with scripture.

**Cortez said his “eyes became open to the injustice that the church has wrought”**

God will be the judge of justice and injustice.

“Hate the sin; love the sinner.”

The Truth may only be found in the Catholic Church.

The thing is, to anyone that is paying attention, there is no way it could go on much longer. The entire civilized world is at the brink of financial collapse and only “burning the furniture” is keeping us warm. The whole thing is a facade.

And the rise of islam, the acceptance of homosexuality as normal within a single generation, etc.

Clearly something is afoot, and it will not go on indefinitely. It may just be another period like WWI or the Great War, only truly worldwide. Or it may be Ezekiel 39.

Oh he has authority, he’s not willing to submit. He’s in open rebellion and so are all who remain under his ministry. There’s nothing new under the sun. In Jeremiah’s day the priests prophesied falsely and the people loved it.

Jeremiah 14:14 — “Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds.”

Jeremiah 5:3 — “The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?”

RE: It appears that homosexuality and same-sex marriages are becoming accepted behavior.

I think the argument can be summed up thusly ( not my argument but the argument of those who support the gay lifestyle):

“Gays were born that way, just as black people were born that way. Therefore since God Himself made gays that way, we have to accept gays the way they are. Just as it is wrong to discriminate someone because of his skin color, it is also wrong to discriminate against someone because of his/her sexual orientation.”

The circumstances of our lives do not change scripture.

Now behave! The reformers showed us how to find our truth in the word of God! ;-)

A Southern Baptist church in California has broken with the denomination's stance on homosexuality and has decided to accept the LGBT community without judgment. The church made the change after its lead pastor announced that he no longer holds to the teaching that homosexuality is a sin.

Danny Cortez, who leads New Heart Community Church in La Mirada, explained his journey in a letter to progressive Christian blogger John Shore, founder of Unfundamentalist Christians, last month. At the end of that journey, his son came out to him as gay.

The church broke with the SBC's stance. I'd bet the church doesn't stay SBC for much longer.

You know how in pro-life matters, you want to encourage people to finish the sentence? I.e., pro-choice = pro-choice to abort your unborn child.

We are going to have to do the same thing re: homosexuality. “Coming out” sounds so nice. How about “coming out and saying that you enjoy putting your private parts into receptacles of fecal material”? Or some other less clumsy formulation.

This tide is not going to turn until people are forced to put aside the rainbows and look at the ghastly, unhealthy facts.

Something incredibly powerful is moving with this homosexuality push in the last decade. Things are happening with increasing regularity, that just a few years ago no one could have dreamed.

It’s coming to a point where conservatives like here on FR and a few other places are finding themselves in a smaller and smaller minority. Either we have this whole thing all wrong, or the world really is becoming as Satanic and apathetic as is foretold for the end times.

It’s astounding.

Jesus warned us that there would be times when we would have to choose between our love for our children and our love for Him.

Excellent point!

Because we are all sinners, we are all going to do things that are in contradiction to God's Law and with what our parents and pastors have taught us. That has NEVER meant that someone should change their definition of sin just because someone they love is guilty of a sin.

Moral relativism is quite possibly Satan's most successful tool since the Garden of Eden.

Yup. And by the way, it’s the latter.
