I need to move

[Pastor Gary]

I think it would be so much easier to live in the neat, tidy, black/white world some of you seem to live in, where people fit into neat categories and there are never any situations to which you must say "I have no idea..."

My world is just way more complex than yours.

Response: I think that's a bit of drama.

Sorry... it wasn't meant to be.

If you had posted a post about ministering to transgendered people without linking it to a scripture blessing eunuchs there may have been a more clear understanding of your position. However, since people use such scriptures to condone continued perversions, responses were somewhat reasonable.

I find that interesting. I thought our years of interactions here had earned me a bit more benefit-of-the-doubt than to imagine that I was promoting the condoning of sin, but, okay.

We minister to homosexuals, have some that come to church and participate in homeless ministry. We minister to the abused children, spouses, drug addicts, the over medicated, under medicated and any type of sinner that the Lord might send.

It's a false impression that no one else really is involved in real ministry.

You have picked up a dog by the ears, Scooter. I wasn't talking about you. I was referring to those who responded with simplistic answers.

If I'm way off base on the prompts behind this post, forgive me it just seemed that's what you were driving at.

Again, I assumed too much; I assumed my record spoke for itself.

Response: Sure it has. I hope. However many people even in ministry define "sin" differently.

Where you might think I hold to a conservative line in that area, I might think you have a more liberal view.

That difference could hold points worth discussing, or we could just long for a different world.

No sour apples here just looking for clarification.

I really didn't take it or mean it "personally".

It was just how it looked on the surface.

My fault, forgive the assumption.

I am against sin. I am not against sinners.

Response: Sure. Sit under any great gospel teachings from any transgendered individuals lately?

How to handle such would be a great discussion.

Maybe the Holy Ghost has revealed that that's ok dbserv too.

Oh praise God walls are coming down all over. jk

Response: Maybe I pay too much attention. Here we are chiming in on a post about our worlds being complex with issues, which is spawned by a post linking cross dressing and homosexuality to eunuchs and service in church.

You figure in how many different things you are now enlightened to.

It's not going to be long until the perversions of transgendered individuals is numbered among those issues which the liberal counts as just another sin among the many. I'm sure it has already been celebrated in some "christ" based metrosexual "ministry".

What is an onlooker expected to carry away?

I know, I know you didn't mean it that way.

Just mentioning how it could and does look for someone paying too much attention and what type of impression is given.
