\u201cI will not<\/strong> go and listen to an openly practicing gay preacher because of his disrespect for the Word of God!\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First<\/strong> of all Lucy, both the Old Testament (Isaiah 64:6) and the \u201capostle\u201d Paul (Romans 3:23) note quite clearly that we are all<\/em><\/strong> sinners \u2013 and this includes every single preacher in the world<\/em> \u2013 man or woman; gay or straight.\u00a0 \u00a0As such, if you are going to refuse to hear Oliver Clyde Allen preach because of the sins that you assume<\/em><\/strong> he is committing in the privacy of his own home, then to avoid being hypocritically bigoted you are going to have to be consistent and refuse to go hear all<\/em><\/strong> other preachers as well<\/em><\/strong>!\u00a0 Essentially, if you are going to refuse to go to Oliver\u2019s church, then you are going to have to stop going to church at all<\/em><\/strong>! \u2026 Are you willing to abandon your hypocrisy and make that vow at this time?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Second<\/strong>ly: \u00a0\u00a0Lucy, how many times must I remind you of what the Bible says about this issue?\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0How many times must I remind you of the following fact<\/strong>: \u00a0that \u2013 at least according to the holy Scriptures \u2013 HOMOSEXUALITY itself IS NOT A SIN<\/strong>!\u00a0 \u2026 And since being gay is not a sin, Oliver Clyde Allen is not<\/em><\/strong> \u201cdisrespecting the Word of God\u201d at all by being true to the way he was born \u2026 Indeed, not only is he not disrespecting the Word of God, he is an ordained Christian minister who actually preaches<\/em> the Word of God!\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0How prejudiced of you to make such false claims about him & his, my Friend!\u00a0 \u00a0And how arrogant of you to dismiss him merely for being born with a sexual orientation that makes you uncomfortable!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At this point, I humbly suggest that you repent and amend your ways, Lucy\u2026 I humbly suggest that you set aside your outdated (and openly bigoted) church dogma and choose to follow The Way of Jesus Christ instead!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cTruly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven<\/em><\/strong>. Whoever becomes humble like this young child is the greatest in the Kingdom \u2026 All who exalt themselves will be humbled<\/em><\/strong>, and all who humble themselves will be exalted.\u201d ~ Jesus<\/strong> Christ (Matthew 18:3-4 + Luke 18:14)<\/p>\n
