Jak and more, like Graham, have openly shared their thoughts on the divisive subject, and they have ed their knowledge of scripture to shed a light on what God thks and how the Bible guis wh regards to s and the ABC segment wh Rsell Moore, Ralph Reed and Cokie Roberts, last week, Graham was qutned on whether his posn on homosexualy remaed the same om past terviews.

" In that same segment he and his wife Victoria said that they would attend a homosexual another stance, Oprah qutned Megachurch pastor T. "When asked if beg gay is a s he replied, "I thk that sex between two people of the same sex is nmned the Scriptur, and as long as is nmned the Scriptur, I don't get to say what I thk.

""Obvly, Larry, if I believe the Bible, then I don't believe that a gay liftyle or a homosexual liftyle is the right way to choose to live. Durg an onle bate 2012 the ntroversial Pastor said, "If someone is alg wh same-sex attractn or homosexualy, and they want someone to be their life partner of the same genr, though we would oppose that our church, should be allowed by the state.

JOYCE MEYER JOS CONMNATN OF UGANDA ANTI-GAY BILL

While she, along wh other perfect-hair-happy-gospeler Joel Osteen, is not overt her nmnatn of homosexualy, Meyer is on the rerd as beg agast . She told Larry Kg 2005 that she thks ’s “a choice” and not a good one at that: “Obvly, Larry, if I believe the Bible, then I don’t believe that a gay liftyle or a homosexual liftyle is the right way to choose to live. Dpe all of that, however, Meyer has recently done somethg I n approve: after an email mpaign om, she fally joed her lleague Rick Warren (who bowed unr siar prsure) issug a nmnatn of the still pendg Anti-Homosexualy Bill Uganda.

FIVE EVANGELIL PASTORS WHO BACK GAY MARRIAGE

”It is creasgly evint that the proposed “Anti-Homosexualy Bill” troduced the Ugandan parliament is a profoundly offensive, dangero and disturbg attack on the very foundatn of dividual liberti and human rights afford not only to the good cizens of Uganda, but on the at-large global muny, ” Joyce Meyer Mistri wrote a statement. I don’t watch her bee she seems stuck up and her attire looks like she is the 1% and her idcy ncerng gays wh no reurse to ntact her to get her or any like her to back up what they say about gays.

At first I loved the Assembli (sort of still do or at least giv me credibily as I claim I am AOG member sce I often talk wh homophob and I am otherwise as were jt as nservative, though this word is way mistranslated today and ends up meang “bigot” stead of mted to J through His Word the Bible. Gays4j: Some Misters are great on most other topics, is their false doctre (700 year old doctre) that generally s their good works bee they give a msage that 700 ln gays are gog to hell wh no hope God. The gay picture is huge part of the Christian walk and eterny and major part of the Last Days and an tensive llg of gays to serve as rtorers to those nearly 2/3 of Christiany that will soon fall way.

Simple example Homophob say sodome mea gays, real ma is sodome means male temple prostut which still has eper meang needg studyg to back this up. Gays4j: 100% GAY IS NOT SIN 14 vers are ed to nmn gays this false doctre was vented around 700 years ago wh distctive goals to purge lears om power by creatg sndals.

GAY MOSW MOSW CY GUI

God ore tan accepts you beg gay, God has a very special llg to gays, this n be learned history when ep rearch to real gays and has Bible backg aga needg to unrstand who the gays are the Bible and much more bi the outright Holy Spir makg que clear to many. Now gays are jt as human and have the extra gredient of harr to fd other gays to meet and choic often are not good for typ of plac to meet.

So I ntacted you as a next step tryg to rolve my love and admiratn for Joyce Meyer wh beg a trated gay person who is believg God for a miracle to marry the boy of my dreams while seeg I will have to stop tryg to marry him. If you said someone was evangelil you knew pretty much what you were gettg – errancy of the Bible, importance of preachg, a foc on evangelism, warngs of hell and most of all – opposn to gay marriage.

While still far om the mastream and the overwhelmg majory of self-scribed evangelils are still opposed to gay marriage, there are a growg list of pastors who scribe themselv as evangelil and yet support same sex upl. 'It has taken untls hours of prayer, study, nversatn and emotnal turmoil to brg me to the place where I am fally ready to ll for the full acceptance of Christian gay upl to the Church, ' he wrote.
