“You know my issue isn’t whether gay people go to heaven or straight people go to heaven.”

Issues of pride and judgment and gossip and slander and other types of sexual immorality, gluttony, you name it.

There wasn’t reparative therapy in Corinth. So in this passage I think people came to Christ and experienced a new life in him apart from the therapeutic process.

Or any other thing – are those people in danger of losing their salvation over those issues?

Satan, the enemy is using people to further his agenda to destroy the Kingdom of God and as many souls as he can.

But it doesn’t say anywhere in that passage that the people didn’t still struggle with temptation or that they never fell prey to that sin again whether it was the issue of homosexuality or any of the other things that are listed there.

I’m grateful for people’s opinions but I choose to surrender and to serve Christ and Christ alone and in that my life has changed.

I think we have to do a better job than we’ve done. So I do think there is, people rush to judgment and rush to clarify their point on this issue in ways that they don’t’ rush to judgment and to clarity on other issues.

That, I think, sets people up for unrealistic expectations and is something that I’m not willing to offer when we’re sharing these types of messages or presenting what was presented to me.

I’m looking at offering biblical holiness, not an unrealistic expectation for people that will leave them disappointed.

But to say that people who have same-sex attractions are the only group of people who need to go to a therapist to completely resolve those attractions isn’t something I find biblically accurate.

I’m not saying that people should live in unrepentant sin. I’m not saying that that’s a mark of a mature believer at all.

I think, again, if someone wants to know what I believe then look at my life.

Someone’s always calling for my resignation. It’s nothing new.

I think it’s hypocritical and inconsistent for us to attack this one group of people over any other group of people that are within our churches today.

Let me be clear that I’m not God so I can’t tell you who is and isn’t going to heaven.

I am opposed to special rights for gays just as I am opposed to special rights for heterosexuals or smokers.

I’m gay for Jesus, fill me with your grace. Pour your love all over me, but please aim away from my face.

And being gay isn’t so easy, either I’ve always said that if anyone ever thought I was straight they must need glasses – but when I finally came out and said, “Yes, I do sleep with men and I’m gay,” yeah, I lost record sales. There’s no question – big, big time.

A lot of Donna Summer and things that maybe weren’t trendy anymore or weren’t hip in gay clubs but you’d hear them at Taboo.

I’m not gay, and I’m not a transvestite.

If you listen to the debate, [Barack Obama] and [John] McCain said the same thing about gay rights.

On Madonna: She’s a gay man trapped in a woman’s body.

How old is too old to stop believing in, like, the tooth fairy? Like 12? I’ve got a cousin who is 18… Yeah, still believes in gay marriage.

When I came out, when I was 17 years old, it was one of those things where I realized that there was going to be so many obstacles, but being gay doesn’t mean being weak. And being gay doesn’t mean that you are less than anybody else. It’s just who you are.
