It's Just Ridiculous...

If you live in Indy you might have heard about the recent "Would Jesus Discriminate" crap. A local church is twisting biblical truth to try and convince people that the Bible, as well as Jesus himself supports homosexuality. I honestly have no problem at all with people who are gay...I have friends who are gay. But accepting people and loving them no matter how they choose to live their lives is a totally different from distorting what is clearly stated in the Bible. "Pastor" Minor (Jesus Metropolitan Community Church) and his followers attempt to rewrite scripture to sanctify their sexual desires in the name of loving "tolerance." However, is it really considered loving to lead people in opposition to the will of God? The Bible isn't unclear on the issue; I mean do verses like these leave any room for uncertainty?

Don't you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.
-1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NLT)

Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin.
-Leviticus 18:22 (NLT)

This upsets me that people are being deceived therefore giving up the eternal life that is obtainable to them through the forgiveness of Jesus Christ. Please pray for this church and others of this sort to be stamped out by the truth.
