This is unreal…
Via some gay Magazine that I would never directly link to, we have this: (H/T WorldNetDaily)
In a cover story for gay glossy The Advocate, Rev. Ted Haggard now says he favors gay marriage.
Ted Haggard - Likes his little boys smooth -- What a waste of human life!
Haggard is the evangelical pastor who ran afoul of his Denver congregation after admitting to a three-year pay-for-sex affair with male prostitute Mike Jones. Immediately after Jones reveled their sexual association in 2006, Haggard denied being gay, saying only that he had committed “sexual immorality.” Since that time, Haggard has said he’s undergone intensive counseling. On February 6, 2007, Tim Ralph pronounced Haggard “cured,” adding that Haggard is “completely heterosexual.”
The married father of five says everyone – including gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people – is welcome at his church, St. James in Colorado Springs.
Haggard supported the 2006 ballot question that placed a gay marriage ban in Colorado’s Constitution, but he now says he favors allowing gay couples to marry.
“The word marriage is a big deal to people of faith,” Haggard told the magazine. “We’ve made it sacred. That’s why I believe that churches, synagogues, mosques and temples should have total freedom to have whatever types of unions they believe is godly.”
“But I think that we as a democratic society, as a constitutional republic – if we don’t respect individual civil liberties, then we’re making a horrific mistake. The church is in the early stages of another ‘the Earth is flat’ crisis. I say to all religious people that we should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry on the subject. Or we’re going to be embarrassed in another 10 or 20 years,” he added.
Haggard, however, has previously said no gay or lesbian couples will be allowed to marry in his church.
I remember hearing about this phony years ago and thinking that something was up with him. He was just too perfect; if you know what I mean. The truth is that the Bible says that the homosexual lifestyle is a sin and those to practice it will not see God. See here if you have a problem with that.
My simple question is this; when will the Christian community finally take a stand and say, “Homosexuality is wrong and those who advocate it are apostates!” When?!!
Of course, because I am a realist; I know that this will never happen. Evangelicals never take the tough stands, they never have, it is not in their DNA. They always take the path of least resistance; they always have, since the days of their founding. It is a sad fact, but the truth is that only the Fundamentalists like myself; are the only ones who dare to take the stand against such apostasy — and we have paid a horrible price for it too. Sadly today, many of the old institutions of old Fundamentalism in the Detroit area have either sold out to modernism or stand half empty. That is because people just do not want to hear the truth anymore. They want their ears tickled:
I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. (2 Timothy 4:1-5 KJV)
Even so, Come, Lord Jesus.
