    T.D. Jakes and Gay Rights

    T.D. Jakes Comes Out for 'Gay Rights' and 'LGBT Churches,' Says Position is 'Evolving'



    Megachurch leader and author T.D. Jakes says that homosexuals should attend congregations that affirm their lifestyle and that politics do not need to reflect biblical ethics, adding that his position on homosexuality is both "evolved and evolving."

    During an interview with the Huffington Post on Monday, Jakes was asked by a viewer if he believes that homosexuals and the black church can co-exist.

    "Absolutely... I think it is going to be diverse from church to church. Every church has a different opinion on the issue and every gay person is different," he replied. "And I think that to speak that the church—the black church, the white church or any kind of church you wanna call it—are all the same, is totally not true."

    Not surprised.

    “Paul spends a lot of time wrestling back and forth, trying to understand should a woman wear a head covering, should you cut your hair,” Jakes stated. “I mean, they grappled back then and we’re grappling now because we’re humans and we are flawed and we’re not God.”

    I'm pretty sure Paul didn't 'wrestle back and forth trying to understand' about anything. Just another preacher not wanting to take a stand on what is Truth.

    Not surprised...

    First of all, I vaguely recall reading or hearing that one of his sons is Gay, and that he was arrested for "Soliciting" a couple of years ago

    Second, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually "came out of the closet" - There's just something about his mannerisms, speech, etc. that indicates that he might have been "wrestling" with that spirit for a long time - I hope I'm wrong, but you guys know what I always say: Time will Tell

    Three days after that 4 year old article (from wikipedia) : "TD Jakes stated that his words were misinterpreted and that while he does not support same-sex marriage, he "respect[s] the rights that this country affords those that disagree..."

    How conveniently he ignores the whole counsel of God on the matter in order to twist his doctrinal stance.

    1 Corinthians 5:9-12 New King James Version (NKJV)


    9 I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. 10 Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person.

    12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside?
