Gay Christian Theology

This right-wing Christian movement had been tauting their success ‘changing’ gays to straight. Of course, they don’t see that behavior can be changed, but not the nature of the person. Their tactic is fear – telling gays they will go to Hell if they do not change or remain celibate. Can paint the spots on a leopard, but the spots are still there. Now word comes that the Exodus movement is having financeial troubles – they are in the red and have had to let employees go. To those employees I say “you are better off unemployed than working for an organization that is not preaching Christianity on this issue.” To all who wonder how I can say this, buy my autobiographical ebook at Amazon Kindle ($6). As for the Exodus Movement, I pray you realize the error of your ways.

What is it you don’t understand? Lay people are not always wrong and the Church is not always right.
The purpose of the Church is to preach the Gospel of Jesus the Christ and nowhere in the Gospel is there a condemnation of homosexuality.
“For God so loved the world that He sent his only Son, that WHOSOEVER believes shall not perish, but have eternal life.” John 3:16 How much easier can it get?

News flash today: Pat Robertson states that one can divorce their spouse on the grounds of Alzheimers.
For a preacher who takes the Bible literally I find this hypocritical. Pat vehemently condemns homosexuals to Hell; no compromise; no gray areas. On the issue of divorce, the Bible states that no one can divorce his wife except on the grounds of adultery. We marry “until death do us part.” Alzheimer’s is not adultery, nor is it death.
Pat, get your facts and your interpretations clear! You can’t have it both ways.

I get many positive comments to my blog and I thank each one of you. I do not keep them on my blog because there are so many. If you notice, there are only 13 comments on my blog; half are my responses to those who write negative comments. These I answer for the purpose of educating.
Many of the positive comments ask me for more details. My posts are my own opinions, but I don’t go into extensive detail because my autobiography, “Is God A Gay Basher?” does and is availiable thru Payloadz for download or, if you have a Kindle, thru Amazon.com. Cost is $6.00
For all those who want more detail, more answers, buy my book. You will not be disappointed.

When the gay marriage law passed in New York State, Pat Robertson said, “no civilization that tolerates homosexuality has ever survived”. I guess Pat is blaming America’s economic mess on us homosexuals. Yet, the Middle East countries condemn homosexuality and they’ve got more problems than USA. I’d look at who’s leading each nation before blaming homosexuals for the destruction of civilization because it’s you heterosexuals. Pat’s statement is naive and quite hateful towards gays. He will say “it’s not me; the Bible says so”, but that’s false. He might say “I don’t hate gays, just their sin”, but is that really how you feel, Pat? You can’t blame one sexual orientation, for all sexual orientations have sinned and fallen away from God and His teachings. It’s not same gender love that is destroying our world, it’s greed, hatred and power. Pat, you need a reality check as does anyone else who believes as Pat Robertson.

Congratulations to all gay couples who will be getting their marriage license today. New York State’s new law is a privilege, well fought for. Let us be good role models and show the world that gay love is truly worthy of the covenant of marriage. I know you will. May God bless you all.

To all dissatisfied gay ministers pastoring in mainline churchs where you cannot be open about who you are, about how God created you, I have a suggestion. Transfer to a Metropolitan Community Church. MCC needs more gay ministers in order to keep growing and helping GLBTQS people. Check out MCC’s Home Page to see how you can transfer and spread the Gospel of Jesus to all sexual orientation (and 10% of MCC members are heterosexual). The hiding must stop! God help you to make the right decision.

“Barbarian” (Webster’s definition): alien, savage, primitive, cruel, uncultured, coarse.
In my 65 years of life as a lesbian I have been called many names, but NEVER ‘barbarian’, as Michelle Bachmann called gay people, yesterday. I can identify with ‘alien’ because that is the way most of the world treats gays. As for the rest of the definition, Michelle, take a look at your own sexual orientation; not exactly squeaky clean. Generalizing is destructive. We did it to African Americans and women. Further, Michelle stated that passing gay marriage will only lead to making polygamy normal. Take a look at your Bible, because polygamy was the norm. Abraham, the ‘father’ of Judeo/Christian faith was polygamous AND was married to his half-sister. That’s incest.
Come out of the dark ages, Michelle and all who agree with her. This is NOT a person I want for our next President.

Republican Michelle Bachmann’s husband, Marcus, a Christian Therapist who believes one can “pray away the gay”, is just another in a long line of naïve and prejudiced Christian ‘scholars’ who believe God created ALL people heterosexual. Based on what? The Creation story and/or the 6 biblical ‘clobber’ passages? I, a Christian lesbian, would love to show him how wrong he is. He sees the issue from one side, for he was created straight. I see the issue from both sides, for I did not recognize I was gay till the age of 27. I lived a straight life; well, I tried and it tormented me because I could never feel towards men the way all my women friends did. All gays have experienced life in this way and know better than straight people that you can’t “pray away the gay” because God created us gay and doesn’t want us to be something other than who HE created us to be. Gays have a frame of reference; straight people don’t. They don’t know what gays feel, but they continue to tell us that what we feel is not natural. What self-righteousness!! Reminds me of the Pharisees and Jesus was not thrilled with them.
To Marcus Bachmann and all who believe homosexuality is not God created and blessed, I tell you that the only reason a gay person wants to change and be straight is brought about by the condemning attitude of people like the Bachmann’s. Stop perpetuating homosexuality as abnormal and immoral, for there is no Biblical evidence that backs up your belief. Actually, there is biblical evidence against your anti-gay belief. Want to help gays – accept us as the way God intended us to be.
To my gay brothers and sisters, hang in there. Do NOT buy into this perverted anti-gay garbage.
To Marcus and those who believe as he, I would love to debate you on this issue. If you’re so confident that you’re right you should love my challenge. Email me – let’s talk.

Till the early 1600’s most of the world population believed the Earth was the center of the Universe and the Sun and all planets revolved around the Earth. Then came Galileo, a scientist, who stated that it was the Sun upon which all revolved around.
This went against the belief (doctrine) of the Roman Catholic Church and Galileo was accused of being a heretic (a person who opposes Church teaching) and sentenced to life imprisonment. Nearly 350 years later, in 1992, Pope John II stated “Theologians failed to grasp the profound non-literal meaning of Scripture when they described the physical structure of the universe. This led them to transpose a question of factual observation into the realm of faith.”
The Roman Catholic Church reversed its belief and accepted Galileo’s.
I believe, as a heretic myself, it is time for the Church to accept the fact that Pope John II 1992 statement applies to homosexuality and the Church should reverse its doctrinal condemnation. Science is not always wrong or satanic.
