“these people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” maybe it’s already been posted, but it’s my favorite line when talking with a christian who thinks that when jesus said love is the fulfillment of the law he only meant heterosexual love

‘… My choice withdrew you from the world, therefore the world hates you.’ – John 15:19
Persecution is part of the Christian walk. Every believer in Christ Jesus is persecuted. Many times we are persecuted not by those outside the fold but by sheep within the fold of Christ. Jesus says that it…

You know all those wonderful Conservative parents who proceed to abandon, kick out, or cut off their children for any reason (including, but not limited to a child’s sexuality)?
Well here we go:
“But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”
1 Timothy 5:8 (NKJV)
We were invited to a Veteran Day’s Banquet. There was dozens of people there. There was music and LIVE performances and Delicious food. At the end of the Banquet, the coordinator of the event called the Faifeau (Pastor) up to close the night with a prayer. The Pastor got up and said to form a CIRCLE and to bow our heads. Me on the other hand along with my cousin just stood there holding hands as if we were anxious to LEAVE. Then the Pastor opened his mouth and said, “This month of November 2012, Washington has now ACCEPTED Gay marriage in our state. They APPROVED Referendum 74 which means that our state will be full of Gay people. We are living in the end times my friends.” Listening to his rant, I was surprised that about 75% of the people in the room didn’t say, “Amen”. There were a few but almost no one responded. Then he said, “Just this past week, I saw thousands of BIRDS flying. THOUSANDS OF THEM! Flying headed somewhere! did anybody see that? we are in the END TIMES!!” And I scoffed a little bit, leaned over to my cousin who was standing to my left and I said, ” Aint it MIGRATION season?” LOL
Confessions of a Gay Samoan
The Bethel Confession was authored by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Hermann Sasse, and others during August 1933, in order to oppose the false teachings that were flooding the German protestant church after the victory of the German Christians at the church election of July, 1933.

View Larger I tried mixing the theology of the Religious-Right and Christianity together and…
“He definitely was interested in men,” Burrell explained. “Was interested in having a relationship with me. I didn’t want a relationship with him. I wanted to simply work for him. But not be in a relationship with him…We’d have good days if he didn’t put his hands on me. Which he sometimes had issues with. He’d put his hands on me and I’d politely step back and reject him….He was obviously making comments all the time. Sexual comments about me…It was grounds for a sexual harassment lawsuit, like, if I really wanted to push it. I really don’t care to. I don’t want his money.”
So GCI is in contact with Naz Ally (another very small Gay Christian group) and we’ve come to the conclusion that most of the major gay Christian groups (‘Believe Out Loud, ‘More Light Presbyterians’, ‘Gay Christian Network’) are incredibly non-communicative and insulting in how they treat they’re smaller compatriots.
You’d think they take all the help they can get.
As a result, we need the continued support of our followers and writers for want of major corporate assistance. We beg you all to continue supporting GCI whether we’re online, on campus, or in Church!
