I think that the church has done the right thing. I also think that, as my father said, sin is sin and it is wrong. I am sorry for the family’s loss but I don’t feel for them because the church canceled a memorial for a gay family member. In my opinion, I think it is wrong to have a memorial for someone in a gay marriage or practicing homosexuality in any church or at all for that matter.

GUYK Says: August 11th, 2007 at 4:20 pm But the church does have the right to refuse funeral services to the cocksucker.

I support the church..but not for the same reasons as you do. I support the church because I figure they have the right to perform or not to perform such services as they so desire.

I could really give a gotdam myself about what the man did..his sexual preferences are none of my business as mine are none of his. But the church does have the right to refuse funeral services to the cocksucker.

The one thing the military emphasizes about serving faggots is the code of conduct layed out for everyone, no matter how honorable one may have served outside the walls of a bedroom they are still corn holing someone in it and it’s a violation of military law.

Sodomy is a moral and conduct issue, the Bible even speaks against that for the man and woman relationships God intended.

It’s illegal in 24 states for a reason, should be all and used to be…

Kudos to this church.

I’m not a Christan as I never caught it. (Much to my parents dismay) That said I still believe that homosexual behavior is a perversion and should never be engaged in or condoned. It also matters not what an individual might have done that was good, if he is a homosexual it is all tainted by that perversion.

Saw the article and said the same thing you did Fred, this is a classic MSM using the armed forces to their ends jumping all over this story for that reason.

Either live by the rules of the church or you don’t belong, it’s as simple as that. They want to create these special exceptions to legitimize their behavior when you either accept it is sin and don’t do it, or sorry, you don’t belong in church for any reason, gay marriage, or simply practicing homosexuality.

If God is that important to you in your life that you need to have a service there in the church at your death, then live the life that God set forth in the bible at least attempting to avoid sin and not by your own set of rules as you go along like the left likes to do.

In their world pretty soon it’ll be OK to do just about anything anyone wants to do anytime, and in a world like that there will be nothing but chaos and abomination, just exactly the way they want it. Only having to answer to themselves and no higher power, they are the higher power in their worldview.

I don’t have a blog or anything…but I just had to comment. I know y’all are expecting flak…but you’ll not get it from me. I just wanted to voice my support for y’all standing for what’s right. Now, I do feel bad for the family, but as a minister, I wouldn’t feel comfortable performing the service. I’m not gonna say that the man has gone straight to Hell for his sin. He may have received the grace offered by Jesus Christ. I mean, he deserves to go to Hell…but then…so do I. It’s only by God’s grace that we receive eternal life. But, in order for our church to host a memorial service and for our pastor to perform it, the man needs to be a member in good standing.

The church probably should not have agreed to it unless they knew the man, personally. I agree with their decision, though.

Cary…I 100% agree with you. I’ve alienated many for my stance on shacking up, screwing around and murdering our unborn. It’s just no one cares, or listens anymore.

I’m sorry – the term “gay church” does not compute. A “church” – that is, a gathering of people on the name of the Lord – would not be “gay.” That would be a social club.

Back to the subject – I also applaud this church for standing up for it’s beliefs. Beyond the Old Testament quotes provided by Fred, how about the whole “sex outside of marriage” aspect? That right there – and I am sure to catch some flak for this – but that right there is an abomination to God. It doesn’t matter if the people involved are homosexual or heterosexual, relationships of that nature without the structure of marriage between the two is a sin. Beyond that, the reason there are so many God-fearing folk dead set against “gay” marriage is Leviticus 18:22, as shared above.

There are many, many Churches and religions that condone, if not support this way of life. There are still some that do not, and I don’t think they should be condemned for it. What is right and moral to some people, is not to others. It isn’t about hate or intolerance, it’s about one’s own personal relationship with the Lord.Some people just feel things deeply in their soul, and if they are unable to embrace the homosexual lifestyle, they should not be demonized for it.
But, many are. Seems ya can’t believe in any morals or scruples anymore without getting your fanny kicked.
I do feel bad for the family…hopefully a gay church will step up to the plate…and dammit all, if MSM jumps on this I am gonna pitch a hissy like no one’s seen in a long time. Why can’t I just be allowed to be me ? Believe what my Bible says…not have it interpreted every which way.
Political correctness is gonna be the death of me.
