It was his mom too...

If one has to choose to be true unto the Lord and opting out... being true to the Lord should be first meaning he should not be in agreement with the unbelieving gay guy doing his own mom's funeral... his own mom!

My thinking would be if this happened to me...
His sister isn't saved and it's possible there could be a giant family battle over the funeral.....for the sake of peace and giving a good witness to his sister and other unsaved family maybe he chose not to cause an issue

If he caused contention maybe the family would use it to attack his Christian faith and it would be harder to witness to them.

She is dead but they are still living and he wants them saved

Jesus said ...Let the dead bury the dead

2 of my siblings have converted to catholicism... and our mom is up in the years, so some day when she passes I'd imagine I will be faced with having to deal with them wanting to have her service at a catholik church with a priest doing the service... I will tell them this is ungodly because catholicism is not of God and there ain't no purgatory so I'll have to opt out of the service and not attend if this is what they decide to do.

In other words, we gonna have a come to Jesus meeting over this and the devils that are driving this situation will be all upset claiming I'm being a bigot, mean, rude, and whatever other adjectives they want to throw at me... but, none the less I am a Christian and it is my calling to advocate for Jesus Christ being Lord and my Bible does not teach me to compromise like Micheal Brown is doing not only in this situation but also in his standing with false teacher Bill Johnson.

I've enjoyed much of his teaching and I enjoy his ability to speak truth in a nice way... but sadly he is starting to cave just like some many other ministers as satan is throwing a lot of fuel on the great falling away and deceiving people in to thinking that sometimes it's OK to compromises what God's Word teaches.

It's a sad situation, but God said this would happen in the end times... He was right.

I'm sure that will be a strong witness to your family....not.

Romans 12:18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at*peace*with all*men.

Hebrews 12:14 Pursue*peace*with all*men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.

You know, if I had applied the sum of all the advice Farm Truck has been giving in his 3000 posts here the last two years, I would have turned into the nuttiest, most bigotted Christian of our times.

I'm not saying that he himself is that, not at all.

If that's the case, he should opt out and let the dead bury the dead... he should have stood for godliness rather than being unequally yoked with gay unbelievers.

And... how would it work if I cave in and put myself in agreement with the ways of men instead of the ways of God and these people think Christians are in agreement with all religions (ecumentical) and they all end up in hell not knowing Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation???

If I did that, then I have sinned before God. If the salt has lost it's savor, it's useless!

So much for taking a stand for what the Lord teaches in His Word. People are watching to see if Christians are true to God and when we cave in and become in agreement with other religions, and sinful lifestyles then they discount us and know that we are hypocrites.

Of course they get upset if we are not "seeker sensitive" and agree with whatever their lifestyle is... but if we stand for the Lord then they are least know that God must be real cause we refuse to depart from the living God just to please men.

You forgot to add you would be rejecting what God says in favor of being cranally minded.

I'm not saying that he himself is that, not at all.

I don't care what you say, I'm advocating for what the Lord teaches in His Word concerning putting Him first. Your opinion of me is meaningless seeing that you are not the Lord.

Too many of those that claim to be Christians are falling away unto doctrines of devils and traditions of men just like the Word foretold would happen in the last days.

This happens when people put the "feelings" of others before what God says... it's not putting God first which is idolatry.

Honor your father and mother. The last act one can do for a parent is lay him or her to rest. I know you don't agree Farm Truck, but most of us don't believe in being a stumbling block.

Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy.

It's a difficult situation, no question about it.

If my Mom (R.I.P.) or one of my sisters insisted that an obviously *gay* priest, rabbi, pastor, whatever, gives the eulogy at her funeral, I would be torn...

Should I attend out of respect to my dead relative (and bite my tongue) to keep "peace" in the family - Or - should I sit that one out and make up some "excuse" for not attending - Or - Should I just come out and say, "Sorry, but I cannot sit under the ministry of a gay person"

OK, I just asked Hubby, and he said...

"You can attend a funeral without supporting the gay lifestyle of the minister"

He also said "What if the minister was an adulterer or fornicator - Would you boycott the funeral because of that sin too?" (Because many of them are*)

*We've been in ministry for almost 30 years, and we know for a fact that's true - One pastor even had twins by the wife of the deacon of his church)
