Responding To Gays Being Pastors

In my meanderings online I saw a post that showed two women as a Pastor and "First Lady" which in years past would have caused me to be angry or appalled at the thought and I would begin to say things from the flesh about it. I still don't agree with homosexuals serving in positions of spiritual leadership and I never will accept it. However, when I saw this post at first I wanted to comment, but then I asked God for His revelation and His Words... This is what I shared: I have been quiet because I didn't want to speak without guidance from God so... Regardless of the sin, regardless of the condition anyone living in open rebellion to the Word of God cannot and must not serve in a pastoral capacity. I love everyone regardless of who and what they are as the Bible says that "Love covers a multitude of sins" but nowhere does love excuse or forgive sin. We have to be careful with that word judge.

Don't get me wrong, a God loving pastor with the heart of a true shepherd is awesome, but if they fall what would happen to the sheep if the rely on that pastor more than God? God forbid that they fall too... I imp

Haven't posted in here in a long while, but my mind has been turning lately about... Our churches... Sometimes I feel that many are nothing more than modern day Sanhedrin temples full of Pharisees who are only concerned about their building, their members and their reputation. These same churches have a hollow theology that focuses only on prosperity through giving versus restoration through loving. I see music ministries that have people living alternative lifestyles leading them leading "worship" that connects to a lyric and not God's Presence. I see preachers who just HAVE TO preach because they need enough CDs for the box set they wanna push at the church bookstore versus letting God take over and actually heal someone mind, body and spirit. Which also brings me to altar calls where there isn't prayer, healing or prophecy without a microphone being either yelled into by someone praying or in the face of a wounded vessel so that there business gets told to eve
