I hope that you all had a great Easter.
Mine was slightly bizarre.
Mine was slightly bizarre.
Let me first explain that I am a man who has since I was a little boy, read the Bible often and have sought the approval of my fellow christian brothers and sisters.
I am also a man who since I have become an adult won't stand for any of their bullshit. Let me explain.
I am not in church often, but when I am in church, I have a low tolerance for preachers who use Bible passages to condemn homosexuality and this past Easter was no different.

Let me explain.
I was in the midwest visiting a friend over the Easter break and decided to join him and his family at the family's church. It just so happened that the preacher decided that this was the day to attack the homo's.
"And the book of Leviticus verse 22 chapter 8 says 'do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable."
He went on to quote the book of Genesis which includes the story of Sodom & Gomorrah blah, blah, blah.
As I listened to his out of context ranting about homosexuality, I suddenly had an out of body experience. I found myself standing up in a congregation of about 1,200 people. I stood silent as the people around me begin to take notice.
Suddenly the preacher, noticing that I had stood up and was beginning to get attention from the congregation said "Come up to the stage young man." As I made my way through the aisle to the stage I thought, what the hell am I doing?
When I reached the stage the preacher said "Son, you seem to have something heavy on your heart, let the Lord use you." and he gave me the microphone.
What happened next could only be described as....DEEP!
I said, "This is not right...it is not right that your preacher is using Leviticus to condemn homosexuality. Let me explain."
The book of Leviticus says a lot of things to include:
Chapter 20 verse 13 "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."
So according to the book of Leviticus homosexuals like me should be put to death.
Chapter 19 verse 19 "Keep my decrees. Do not mate different kinds of animals, "Do not plant your fields with two kinds of seed. "Do not wear clothing of two kinds of material."
So you all should check your clothing to see if you are wearing woven blends or you are in violation of God's laws.
Chapter 19 verse 27 "Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard." Verse 28 "Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves I am the Lord."
Everyone with fades or trimmed beards or tattoos is in violation of God's laws according to Leviticus.
And have you all really read the bible story of Sodom and Gommorah. If you haven't you should read it because no where does it say that the reason that those cities were destroyed was because of homosexuality. I also find it strange that it was ok for Lot to exchange his two virginal daughters to appease the crowd of men seeking sex with the men (angels from God).
It is strange because that was then...a different culture, a different understanding of humanity, thousands of years ago, among a people desperate for law and order during a difficult time in their historic evolution, similar to many black people today. And while many of the values espoused in the book of Leviticus are good food for thought, much of what you read here are ancient efforts to put an out of control community in check.
And if you plan to use these scriptures as a way to condemn and put homosexuals in check you are perpetrating a fraud.
I then walked off of the stage and sensing the hysteria that I had caused walked right out of the door.

I haven't talked to my freind since Easter, however, I have conversed with God and you know what...we really do love each other.

This so wrong on every level. In Romans 1:26-31 twenty-three punishable sins are listed with homosexuality leading the list. Paul wrote, "For this cause God gave them up into vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet" (Romans 1:26, 27). These verses are telling us that homosexuals suffer in their body and personality the inevitable consequences of their wrong doing. Notice that the behaviour of the homosexual is described as a "vile affection" (1:26). The Greek word translated "vile" (atimia) means filthy, dirty, evil, dishonourable. The word "affection" in Greek is pathos, used by the Greeks of either a good or bad desire. Here in the context of Romans it is used in a bad sense. The "vile affection" is a degrading passion, a shameful lust. Both the desire (lusting after) and the act of homosexuality are condemned in the Bible as sin. There is no getting around from that. Sin is sin. God loves us all but we MUST REPENT and go and sin no more. Homosexuality, murderers, adulterers, liars, sin is sin.

OMG. Preachers daughter here. Let me tell you Muthafkz sumthing. Yes I said Muthfkz. How dare you come on This Man's Site to tell him where to go and how to do it. PuhLeez. When Jesus died. He died for your sin along with everyone elses. Everything is a sin . Life is a sin. The Flesh is a sin. Sin is something WE CAN NOT CONTROL. WE ARE BORN IN SIN. We Will Die in Sin. One sin is not greater than the next. Thats why we are not the ultimate Judge. Because we are silly. Like me personally. I dont giv a damn If someone is gay, I dont giv a dam if youre a pathological liar, I dont care if you enjoy masturbating to your neighbor walking the dog. I cant stand people that hurt children. But The Lords thoughts are not our thoughts, nor his ways our ways. Im not God and dont profess to be. But I have an Idea. We were made in his image. He knew you before you were born. Are you a mistake? No. I wonder sometimes if this world is just a huge outpouring of God's thoughts. Outrageous untamed violence and love and temptation and games, and laughter and pain. Take a step back and just look around you everyonce in a while. No ONE KNOWS WHAT WE ARE REALLY DOING HER?! WTF! So How about. You live YOUR LIFE, AND DO YOU THE WAY YOU SHOULD BE DONE. Follow your heart, and just try to be a good person. Love is something that does not hurt any one,It is pure and it makes you a better person. JUST LOVE. For GOD so LOVED. Do Like God and LOVE. Thats the closest I can get to HIM. Oh and the Lords Prayer. That covers everything from day to day lol! I love it. Because If I can say nothing elseI can always Call out that Lords prayer. It is all encompassing. God knows your heart.
Thank you for speaking truth to power my brother! Much love to you!
Black Sissy IS THE MAN. Now continue to TEACH US so maybe they'll stop preaching nonsense and taking the Ignorant, Defensive, and Gullible's rent money. AMEN!
