No, I disagree. God would have no need of men to communicate his message to the world.
Oh? What special insight to God's mind have you got that makes you so certain of this?
But they sure don't talk about it nearly as much as homosexuality. As pervasive as it is within the church, it should be the only thing Christians are talking about. Especially given that there's been no justice in any of these cases.
I'm not Roman Catholic, so I can't speak to their response to sin in their leadership. Wouldn't you, though, be complaining about their preoccupation with child sexual abuse if they focused on it in the way you think they should? You've only negative things to say about the Church's (not R.C. church) focus on the sin of homosexuality...
Again, Pride is one month out of the year. I live in south Florida and I never see gay people parading down the street engaging in lewd acts.
And, again, it shouldn't go on for even five minutes once a year. That an entire month is occupied with this sin every year is hardly "consenting adults carrying on in the privacy of their home."
I don't know of any school where the straight students are shamed for being straight. The vast majority of people are straight afterall. Do you have any examples of this, or is it all hearsay?
I already gave you two examples given to me directly from Christian youth who were telling me about their experiences in public school these days.
It's happened before and it continues to happen. Straight Christians might day homosexuality is a sin and leave it at that. However, undercover gay Christians in a position of power, usually turn it into a crusade, and then we five out later that they were gay all along.
Do you know how many evangelical Christian pastors there are in North America? Just within the relatively small Baptist conference to which my church belongs, there are over four hundred pastors. There are dozens of other Baptist organizations, some much larger than the one to which my church belongs. Add to these all of the other evangelical church pastors in various organizations (and independent church pastors, too) and I'd estimate roughly that there are thirty thousand of them, at least, in North America. And so, even if you could find a hundred examples of the Ted Haggard sort, it would represent only a small fraction of all the Christian pastors that there are.
Anyway, I don't know what "turn it into a crusade" means. Certainly, merely acknowledging that it's a sin is hardly the treatment the Bible gives to the sin of homosexuality. And a Christian pastor shouldn't be taking his cue from sinners outside the Church when it comes to how much or little to address any particular sin. If this means they want to suspect pastors who challenge the overt celebration of homosexuality as being homosexual themselves, well, it's a free country and nobody can stop them. It's pretty...convenient, though, for the homosexual sinner to make such a charge; a clever way to try to stifle any concerted criticism of their cherished sin.
Most of them do just want you be left alone. How many gay people do you actually know in real life?
Several. My brother-in-law is homosexual. Why? Does not knowing homosexuals personally mean a person can't observe that they hold parades, and have their own flag, and have extorted a month-long acknowledgement of their sin from the public? If so, how does that work, exactly?
The ones I have met were just normal everyday people that you'd never suspect. They weren't seeking attention or trying to "convert" straight people.
Yes, some are like this.
To you. The rest of the population doesn't care.
I don't care what the majority are willing to support, only what
God does and doesn't approve. And He most certainly condemns homosexuality as an abominable, soul-destroying sin.
No, instead we get stuff like this.
I don't see this sort of pastor in the majority among evangelical, Protestant pastors - or anywhere near it - in Canada. And all the American pastors I know aren't like this guy, either. In fact, he stands out precisely because he is a peculiar rarity.
you caught me. I thought it came off as mean spirited. But it is solid biblically which is the best goal 
.
