"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God." 1 Cor 6:9-11

"For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due." Rom 1:26-27

“gay Christians”? An oxymoron if I’ve ever seen one!

And whoever coined this phrase is just a “regularmoron”.

"Many Christian denominations denounce homosexuality as a sin."

Um, God is the One who says that it is a sin - it's not like we made it up........

We are all sinners, but why doesn't the media ever talk about "Adulterous Christians" or "Bank-robbing Christians?" Because they know that those sins are incompatible with Christianity - yet they insist on forcing the narrative that practicing homosexuality can somehow be compatible within a true Christian Church.

Its also interesting to note in this article that all of the people profiled in the article gave up on Christianity to focus on the practice of their sin.

After she came out, she discovered that religious groups aren't the only ones uncomfortable with openly gay Christian artists.

Nice collection of propaganda phrases.

"came out" == Openly admitted a lifestyle of unrepented sexual perversion.

"uncomfortable with" == disapprove of. Notice that the propaganda phrase loads the disapprover, not the disapprovee, with the onus of being 'out of step', but also reduces his objection to a mere irrational feeling.

Well I guess technically you could be Gay and Christian, if you were a person who is only attracted to the same sex and not the opposite one, but also realizes it is a sin to act on that attraction, so decide to live a celibate life. But somehow, I doubt that’s what this story is talking about...

Gay Christian is an oxymoron! There is no such animal as a Gay Chirstian.

The Bible says clearly when a person opens the door to Jesus, they are a new person. (2 Corinthians 5:17) Christianity is turning from self to Jesus. That means you give up your sin and Jesus becomes your all. There may be a time of NO struggling with sin because the change is sudden or there may be intense struggling because the person is seeing the devil trying to keep the person in his corner. As a person dies to his/her sin nature, they become more and more like Jesus. Not easy but possible.

I am tired of homosexuals and lesbians saying that it is all right to be gay and Christian. Sorry, that is like a man saying it is all right to be an adulterer and Christian.

I liked many of Jennifer Knapp's songs......

Hated it...when I heard she announced that she was a lesbian.

I know and have known a few gay Christian musicians, including some nationally and internationally known musicians. They tend to prefer working out of NYC rather than Nashville for obvious reasons.

As these guys have told me, Some of the regular hymnal compositions used every Sunday in the US were written by gay men who never came out of the closet.

It’s the gay musicians working the Christian bar/cafe scene that get judged by the plastic people who attend those singsong services at churches using electric guitars on Sunday mornings.

Lest ye be judged.

I agree.

The term "gay Christian" is an oxymoron and there is no such thing as a christian who is homosexual. You're either one or the other, not both. Homosexuals who openly or privately practice their sexual preference are in a state of sin.

I get so tired of seeing/hearing these people referred to as 'Gay'.

There is absolutely nothing 'Gay' about a lifestyle rife in alcoholism, drug usage, the high incidence of domestic violence and STDs.

They are 'Homosexuals' ... period. They prefer the term 'Gay' only because it softens their image in the eyes of the culture.

“Gay Christian Musicians”

Well alrighty then. This is like a story about conservative liberals or coach potato marathon runners.

Defund NPR and let it find a market on its own.

Why I have to underwrite this is ridiculous. Moreover, if we are cutting, and CANNOT CUT NPR, then what can we cut?

There is no such thing as a “gay Christian musician”.

I love Romans. If you could only have one book of the Bible, sufficient for everything, it would be Romans.

>> "The time will come," she says, "when the church will celebrate its gay children and the incredible contributions that same-gender-loving people have made to the life, to the income, to the spirit, to the power, to the passion of the church."<<

And it will be after the rapture and the establishment of the one world religion. She won’t like the ultimate end of that scenario.
