Why would anyone from the LGBTQ community want to sit in a church where the congregants believe anything other than heterosexuality is a sin? So folks can love the sinner, but hate the sin? Hey Derick why don't you and Jill meet me at a Dunkin Donuts (coffee is right up there near God) and we'll have a chat. I'll bring with me my menagerie of family and friends including people of color, the LBGTQ community, people with mental health issues and people of all religions.

Buggin February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 I used to attend a church that would welcome LGBTQ people in their doors - then preach on how it’s a sin and try to “save” them. They would be lovely to their face but never accept them as they are. I mean... if Derek could think logically for a minute, he may see that there are many gay couples who have been HAPPILY committed for decades. He should know that you can’t have a happy marriage for 40 or 50 years without REAL love. You can be married that long but if the love isn’t there, it’s not going to be a fulfilling relationship! I don’t know what he thinks keeps a gay couple together for so long if it’s anything but true love. 11 Link to comment

Popular Post Trillium February 19, 2018 Popular Post Share February 19, 2018 Gross. So it sounds like Cross Church told the congregation yesterday to invite members of the LGBT community so they could basically point out “See the Bible says you’re wrong! We’re not bigots, we’re just following Jesus! We’re sinners too! We can pray away the gay, it’s a choice you’re making!” (Never mind that Jesus himself never spoke on the manner, and actually hated when religious leaders pulled this kind of bullshit) Yeah it’s much Jesus to welcome people someplace where everyone is going to be judging their sins. Do they gays get a chance to counter by pointing out Cross Churche’s sin of being jugmental dicks? 38 Link to comment

I suppose next he will say that God laid it on his heart to invite them and the subject of the sermon was a miracle of timing. 5 minutes ago, bigskygirl said: The same sex attraction talk is Monday night, and Derelict invited certain groups to the next Sunday church services.

The LGBTQ community is not being welcomed to Cross Church. Chelette has a ministry called Living Hope which is a redemptive ministry for homosexuals. He presumably was gay, and through Jesus he was saved. He now counsels others. So, in other words, for any one in the LGBTQ community coming to this lecture would be an ambush. 17 Link to comment

bigskygirl February 20, 2018 Share February 20, 2018 So they are trying to save certain groups of sinners while launching a new church on Sunday or am I not understanding the whole concept here. Btw, my poor nice neighbor across the street is dealing with kidney cancer and a tumor above one of her knees. Earlier this afternoon two paramedics/EMTs volunteer fire department personnel and the ambulance was at her house. Now I want to know if Jesus was one of the paramedics and the ambulance personnel or did he give the two paramedics and the ambulance personnel the skills, kindness, and the willing to help others in order to access her medical needs at her house. I also want to know if Jesus was the 911 dispatcher who took the emergency call when her daughter called 911. She was not taken to the hospital, and her daughter lives one block away. Jesus is a very busy man to be helping my nice neighbor out while dealing with the snow and cold and helping my fellow Montanans deal with closed highways, snow drifts, and multiple accidents to the point where he may not help Derelict get the heathens gays and lesbians to show up at his church. The horror of it all! Link to comment

Popular Post questionfear February 20, 2018 Popular Post Share February 20, 2018 I once worked with a woman who was convinced she could convince me to pray away the gay. She told me I had the devil in my soul, and I told her I was aware but as long as he paid rent we were cool. She was not amused. My last day at that job she gave me a book on jesus teaching me to become an ex-gay. It had the gayest man and the butchest woman holding hands, and...yea. I politely accepted it and threw it in the trash when I left. Derrick's Cross Church invite sounds like a higher pressure version of my conversations with that woman...she was always very nice to me, always happy to work with me, but never missed an opportunity to let me know I was going to hell if I didn't get rid of my satanic need to date women. I've often wondered why she targeted me and not our mutual coworker I was hooking up with, but I'm guessing it was because I was leaving at the end of the summer so she had limited time, plus I'm Jewish so I was a two-fer. If Derrick were willing to pay for me to come to Arkansas I'd happily show up to debate him on Sunday. 31 Link to comment
