I was listening to Praise 103.9 fm this morning and apparently there was an ongoing discussion relating to former NJ Governor Jim McGreevy's interview on the Oprah Winfrey show. Well I caught neither the Oprah show nor the discussion, but I was fortunate enough to catch a caller eagerly taking advantage of the opportunity to air grievances on a topic which included the subject matter of homosexuality.
I'm assuming that her hatred was too overwhelming for her to realize that she was off topic. But I guess she should be cut some slack since, apparently learning that a Philadelphia elementary school plans to make October gay and lesbian day caused this poor reverend to suffer symptoms somewhat similar to those expressed by women experiencing morning sickness.
Undoubtedly the school's intention is to promote tolerance. And it's this and any other call for tolerance that so upsets the modern day Pharisees and Sadducees. Most likely the reverend will not be teaching the congregation or her own children tolerance. And she has the audacity to lash out at a school for trying to pick up her and her cohorts' slack. Well her tirade prompted my own which follows (notice accurate biblical references):
With regard to evangelist Jackson's response to her learning about Fulton elementary's alleged plan to make the month of October "gay and lesbian month" , I say "...and the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, they say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery...what sayest thou?" "...He...said unto them, He that is without sin...first cast a stone at her"
The Bible is very clear about the fact that God is more concerned about the self righteousness and hypocrisy of the so called saints than he is about sinners behaving like sinners. In fact in Chronicles 7:14 places the responsibility for the "ailing land" square in the hands of his people, ie the people of God.
Furthermore Reverend Jackson's ranting and disgust is representative of the attitude of many in the ministry and does nothing whatsoever towards drawing gays and lesbians to Christ. I'll be listening to your broadcast to see if I hear anything of the love of Jesus being put forward. Many so called Christians say that they love when even the biggest fool on the planet can see the hatred oozing from their loins.
I have to add that the church's phoniness has to be a foul odor in the nostrils of God. It is in mine!

I like you believe that the odor of the church is foul in the nostrils of God. It is in mine too. God teaches love and tolerance. However, that doesn't seem to be a message that is evident in most churches. Something is gravely wrong with that. What's more grave is those that follow that type of doctrine blindly.
