Evangelical Pastor Withdraws from Presidential Inauguration
An Evangelical pastor scheduled to give the benediction at President Obama’s second inaugural ceremony next week withdrew from participating in the event Thursday after uproar over a sermon he gave about homos*xuality.
The Rev. Louie Giglio, a pastor at Passion City Church in Atlanta, Ga., preached a sermon nearly 20 years ago where he stated homos*xuality is a sin, and the only way out is “through the healing power of Jesus.”
On Wednesday, ThinkProgress, a liberal watchdog group, reported that in Giglio’s sermon, “In Search of a Standard — Christian Response to Homos*xuality,” he says homos*xuality is a sin, and that gay people can become straight through Christianity.
“Pastor Giglio spoke the truth,” said CitizenLink’s Gender Issues Analyst Jeff Johnston. “God’s designed marriage between a man and woman as the place for s*xual expression — homos*xual s*xual behavior is outside God’s design and so is a sin. No one is born gay, and people can find freedom from homos*xuality and live according to God’s design. This is basic Christian orthodoxy about human s*xuality.”
Johnston hopes this opens people’s eye’s to where we’ve come in our culture.
“It’s a scary place — you believe God’s truth about human s*xuality and marriage, activists will work to shut you out,” he said. “Moses, Jesus and Paul believed and taught that God’s design for s*xuality was marriage between a man and a woman. According to this Presidential Inaugural Committee, that would disqualify them from giving the benediction.”

oh jenFad
this is the issue --- one has with People that REALLY have NO belief in the CREATOR of Adaam(as) in my opinion...........
history, scholarship and Science tell me and many;
that evangelical european paganChristianity has NOT defined nonEuropean things like, religion and Africans and African Americans and even OUR GREAT LEADER
---Our President Baraaka Hussein Obama ---CORRECTLY, and Disrespected them since at LEAST 1492
------homoWhateverISM is nonSustainable as a LIVING concept......................
------to the Creator of Adaam(as) it is nonSubstainable for the livingPerpetual Growth of the FAMILY of Adaam(as) and humanBeing SURVIVAL
------like the paganChristian slaverAmericana 1492-1864
......AND the
freeSlave CHOICE of 1865...................these things are WRONG, always WRONG
even if Rev. Louie Giglio-- were incorrect or CORRECT, he should have PLENTY of help with INTELLIGENT research, he could ask others, from ANYWHERE
but there is NONE,
the homoWhateverISM is MISLABELED --- is not defined correctly,
AND CANNOT be defined CORRECTLY in secularEuropean thought.....LIKE paganChristianity
so the interPersonal homoRelationship is a nonProcreational habit----it is SIN, a wrong, a affront to Science, Biology and a PROGRAM that does not Function Correctly for the Family of Adaam(as).....it is EVIL.................
