California Pastor Loses Job After Posting Sign Stating 'Homosexuality Is Still a Sin'
CBN News ^ | 01/14/2019 | Emily Jones

A California pastor is looking for a job after facing backlash over a church sign that affirms the biblical definition of gender and marriage.

Pastor Justin Hoke of Trinity Bible Presbyterian Church in Weed, California, posted a new church sign in early January. The sign read: "Bruce Jenner is still a man. Homosexuality is still sin. The culture may change. The Bible does not."

The pastors (Baptist) we had in California would be proud to lose their jobs for that reason. Their congregations wouldn’t be the ones to oust them, though; congregations would have provided 100% support. The government, though ... that’s another story.

Yes. Siskiyou County is in the heart of Jefferson.

Isn’t Weed in the proposed breakaway State of Jefferson?

Indeed, Weed is in Siskiyou County, in the future red state of Jefferson.

Evidently he wasn’t preaching to the choir at this church.

These people need the Lord.

It sounds like the pastor was not the problem in that so-called church.

2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. (ESV)

This sick church doesn’t yet realize it, but doing this will NOT appease the deviant reprobates. In fact, it enrages them all the more.

That was the conclusion my friends and I came to, rather quickly in fact. (see post 8)

So.....presumably this church has a board of elders who think homosexuality is OK and they fired the pastor?

Or did he quit because he could not take the heat in the kitchen? If the latter he probably should choose another line of work.

That’s not true according to Scripture. Didn’t Christ say that lusting in one’s heart is a sin? So action isn’t necessary for sin to take place. Lustful thoughts would still need to be repented of.

I heard the Reverend say
“Gay is probably normal in the Good Lord’s sight
What’s to be debated?
Jesus never stated what’s right”
I’m no theology nut, but
The Reverend may be a little confused
For if the Lord don’t care
And he chooses to ignore-ah
Tell it to the people
Of Sodom and Gomorrah (woah)

What did He mean by "Lusting in one's heart"? If I see a girl and notice she's attractive, have I lusted? Or does it mean more like fantasizing about bedding her?

“Homosexual thoughts does not make you a homosexual. “

Actually it does. Wanting a same sex person to commit a sex act on you is a sin. That makes you homo/bisexual.

To put it crudely:
A guy sucking a guy does not make him gay. If it was that or his child dies, he could do it and not be gay. He doesn’t have to be aroused to do it.
A guy wanting a guy to suck him makes him gay because he has to get aroused to do it.
Trust me, there are a lot of guys who want a guy to do them who swear they are not gay. In reality, it’s the exact opposite. They are gay for wanting it to be done.
There is a difference between being attracted to women and wanting to have an affair. The mere thought makes you guilty

It was an admittedly small church, with only a couple dozen members, making it a prime target for the Gaystapo. All they had to do was peel away a few members to make a significant dent in the congregation. And every church has a few apostates in it.
