A GEORGIA PASTORIS MAKING HEADLINES AFTER HE MADE A SERMON ABOUT THEHYPOCRITES IN HIS OWN RELIGION.
THIS IS A SERMON THAT HE DID INREGARD TO THE SUPREME COURT LEGALIZING SAME-SEX MARRIAGE,AND I LOVE WHAT HE HAS TO SAY, TAKE A QUICK LOOK.
ON ONE HAND, YOU QUOTE“HOMOSEXUALITY IS ABOMINATION FROM LEVITICUS,” BUTYOU SAY THAT RIGHT AFTER YOU MADE SOME SHRIMP, SOMECATFISH AND SOME LOBSTER.
YOU QUOTE LEVITICUS WHILE YOU’REWEARING A WOOL LINEN SUIT.
IT’S ALSO LEVITICUS THAT YOUSHOULDN’T WEAR MIXED LINENS.
IT’S IN LEVITICUS THAT IF YOURWIFE IS ON HER CYCLE, THAT YOU SHOULDN’T GO IN THE SAMEHOUSE WITH HER OR EVEN SLEEP IN THE SAME BED WITH HER,THAT’S A LEVITICUS TOO.
HERE’S MY POINT, WE PICK ANDCHOOSE THE SCRIPTURES THAT WE WANT TO USE TO BEAT FOLK UPWITH, RATHER THAN LOOK AT OUR OWN LIVES.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, IFGOD WANTED TO JUDGE AMERICA HE WOULDN’T NEED THESUPREME COURT SYSTEM.
LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR, ANDTELL YOUR NEIGHBOR I DON’T CONDEMN YOU, I DON’T JUDGE YOU,I’M GOING TO PREACH CHRIST TO YOU.
I LOVE THIS GUY.
HOW POWERFUL IS THAT? THIS GUY IS MY FAVORITE GUYIN AMERICA.
I WOULD SAY MY FAVORITEPASTOR, BUT THAT’S NOT EVEN A CONTEST.
I KNOW I’M GETTING CARRIEDAWAY, BUT LOOK AT THE MESSAGE THAT HE HAS.
NOT ONLY, OF COURSE I LIKE HIMBECAUSE HE’S SAYING THE SAME THINGS ABOUT SHRIMP THATI’VE BEEN SAYING FOR A LONG TIME, HE’S SAYING IT MUCH BETTER,AND MUCH MORE EMPHATIC.
YOU CAN PREACH HATE FROM THEPULPIT, WHICH SO MANY HAVE DONE FOR SO LONG, AND GET PEOPLERILED UP ABOUT THAT HATE, OR YOU CAN PREACH LOVE, AND GET ALLRILED UP ABOUT THAT.
AMEN BROTHER, AMEN.
I LOVE THAT BECAUSE IT SHOWSYOU SOMETHING THAT WE TALK ABOUT IN TERMS OF THE CAVEAT, BUT IDON’T THINK WE EMPHASIZE ENOUGH.
THERE ARE SO MANYRELIGIOUS PEOPLE IN AMERICA THAT ARE NOT FUNDAMENTALISTS, THAT DOGENUINELY BELIEVE IN PREACHING LOVE AND GENUINELY DO BELIEVE INUSING THEIR RELIGION FOR GOOD ACTS.
THEY WANT TO FEED THENEEDY AND LOOK OUT FOR THEIR FELLOW HUMANS, THAT IS WHAT THEYCARE ABOUT, AND HE REPRESENTS THAT.
I LOVE THAT HE’S GETTINGATTENTION FOR THAT, HE DESERVES THAT.
TWO LINES THAT BLEW ME AWAY,THE VERY LAST AND WERE USED – WHAT HE SAID, YOU CANNOTEVANGELIZE AND ANTAGONIZE AT THE SAME TIME.
HE COMES FROM THE HOUSE OF HOPEIN ATLANTA, SO HE IS LIVING UP TO THAT NAME.
THE ONE THAT BOTHERED ME ALITTLE BIT THAT IS NOT IN THAT TAPE, HE SAID, “WE HAVEDONE WHAT THE SLAVE MASTER DID TO US.
“THAT IS SUPER POWERFUL.
YOU TURN PEOPLE AGAINST ONEANOTHER, YOU GET PEOPLE TO HATE USING THE BIBLE.
HE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
YOU LOOK BACK AT THE HISTORY OFIT AND THE FACTS, THE SLAVE MASTER USED TO THE BIBLE TO SAYYOU SHOULD KNOW YOUR ROLE AND YOU SHOULD KNOW YOUR PLACE.
IT DOES SAY IN THE OLD TESTAMENTTHAT SLAVES MUST OBEY THEIR MASTERS, EVEN OF THE MASTERS ARECRUEL AND WICKED TO THEM.
THEY MUST OBEY THEMIN EVERY WAY.
HE IS SAYING, DO YOU WANT TOTAKE PART OF THE BIBLE THAT ARE HATEFUL AND USE ITAGAINST OTHER PEOPLE? NOT IN MY HOUSE, THE HOUSE OFHOPE.
I LOVE THIS GUY.
IT DOESN’T MEAN I AGREE WITHHIM ON RELIGION, IT DOESN’T MEAN ANY OF THAT, BUT HERE ISHOW WE CAN HAVE DISAGREEMENTS AND STILL LOVE EACH OTHER, STILLGO TO WORK THE SAME PATH.
IF THIS IS HOW RELIGIOUS PEOPLEWERE, WE’D ALL GET ALONG GREAT.
EMPHASIZED THE LOVE,NOT THE HATE.
