STEP DOWN! This pastor is incapable of leading anyone anymore except to hell. He's a hypocrite! The church comes first! That pastor needs to seek pastoral counseling and make sure he's accountable to others who can help him endure in purity. Struggling is one thing engaging in this destructible, deadly and diseased-ridden behavior is another.
@YhwhKhaiMostHigh no ty i rather check the american medical association the american pediatric association the amrican psychiatric association and etc for they all say that there is nothing wrong with being gay btw i know gay men who are 90 something
If all the gays REALLY came out in the church our pews would be empty simple minded man! THAT IS THE TRUTH. The church is in HUGE denial! At least this man had the courage to risk everything & be honest. It is totally DIFFERENT than Eddie Long. Get your facts straight!
i made this youtube account soley for the purpose of telling you off. YOU ARE A STUPID MOTHER FUCKER AND guess what, at least Mr. Swilley has the balls to be honest with himself and his church, DON'T BE JEALOUS JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT a penis in your mouth. IGNORANT IGNORANT, people like you disgust me. YOU AREN'T going to heaven if you continue being so fucking ignorant and hateful. UGH. someone slap this guy with their ball sac please
Go Bishop Swilley. Expanding your ministry into Midtown Atlanta in the Biltmore Hotel. Way to go. See what happens when you become yourself rather than an image you think everyone else expects or wants. Namaste Bish
Well, the best revenge, which I don't believe in, is success. Bishop Jim Swilley is expanding his ministry to Church in the Now Midtown, In the Biltmore Hotel. Praise God. Obviously Bishop is not trying to get revenge on his detractors. But it is nice to see his success is coming. See what happens when you get real and become who you are? To God be the glory.
There is none righteous, no not one. What are your issues? One problem that many of us have, and i used to have is the fact that we tend to put pastors or leadership on a pedestal. Our faith is to be in God and not in anyone else who are capable of letting us down. Allen if you're harping on these guys, I have to ask what are your issues? You want to fess up or have them come out the hard way in the press? God bless you either way sir. I love you and still get insight from you some. jeff
Yes, I've thought of it. I'm gay myself, which is why I say to everyone that's responding negatively to GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR OVERSIZED ASS AND STOP BEING A BIGOT!
Part 3: Why be ashamed of your most basic of instincts? Its all utterly and completely natural to feel that way. Being gay is just another form of love, in all of it's pristine and beautiful glory, like the grandest rose of all; glowing bright crimson for all to see. With decadance, Lucius Madlock
Part 2: Indulgence is not sin, it is quite natural, however you may do it. Why deny what you so desperately yearn, and for what? A little pat on the back for keeping a part of yourself chained up inside? It is the very essence of blasphemy and evil to do so. If God gave you such a truly wonderful and splended gift, then why deny it and resent it. Part 2
Wow, thats awesome. I hate the fact that the church must vehemently despise not only LGBTQ people, but sexuality in general. It all just stems from a misconstrued connection between Satan and sex. Sex, in itself, is just the act of connecting two entities, in body and spirit. Sex will not, in fact, cause people to become filled with uncontollable lust and become hellraisers. That is pure absurdity, but the church believes every bit of it. Part 1
This guy is looking at Swilley coming out as "Being Decitefull". When the reality is that Swilley has made a huge decision in his life, to try to help other gay folks in the world that share a secret like he did. He is setting an HONEST example, and allowing people who are afraid to feel more comfortable about being who they really are. This guy sais "Stop putting your problems in front of the Church". What he means to say is, "I don't understand Homosexuallity so therefore I hate it".
What do you do? You follow what Jesus said "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." I understand that some people may no longer want to have him as a pastor, and they have a right to that opinion. But others, hopefully, will still feel that he can help them be fruitful vines for our God. And now he can live honestly.
We should respect Jim for not being like the other gay pastors who only came out after a sex scandal. Jim Swilley was faithful to his wife and was not deceitful to his congregation. He had a partnership marriage instead of a sexual marriage but who cares. I don't wanna hear about my pastors sex life anyway. Allen Hunt needs to stop making Jim sound like a bad guy. Jim Swilley at least has some integrity and a clean track record.
From 4:50 to 5:01 you answered your own question dumb ass. He is showing that we should all be opened minded and accepted each other. One of the things I have learned from church is this, it is not our job to judged each other that is God's job. You contradict your self.
I just want to say...the religious mindset think my marriage is in sin b/c I married someone who isn't the same color. I am not going to raise my children in a all white or all black church. Where in conyers/covington is there a church that loves & accepts all? Tell me..really tell me. And tell me where there is a church that doesn't ask you who baptized you, and you tell them & they say..you need to be re-baptized b/c that pastor was living in sin. I will always LOVE CITN! They accept all!
If you're a member of his church...as I am...you are very proud of your Bishop and we don't want him to go anywhere and he's not. He's more than qualified and we are blessed to have him as our Bishop. His Christ-centered teaching is clear & direct as it always has been.....but thanks for your concern for him and for us.
We are all creatures of the planet Earth. We all belong to nature. Each creature belongs to a specific species. Members of the same species can co-mingle, and if of the opposite gender, can reproduce likekind. Organismic species are predominantly male and female. If there exist something in between, then it is an anomoly or mishap. When one is born with a specific genitalia and reproductive system the sexual orientation is established. When the mind goes contrary to reality, that is psychosis.
In fact, there is no indication that he has has any relationship or sexual encounter outside of marriage. Sexuality = sexual attraction, not sexual activity. Whether or not he chooses to persue a partner of the same sex is a different question entirely. Of course if same sex marriage is eventually allowed it'll work out great for everyone, because he be less likely to have sex outside of marriage, and you'll have something else to get on your soapbox about.
You go on to state that he is having sex outside of marriage. If you present a radio show, I'd like to think that it's a good idea to watch the sermon this refers to. He stated that he is "gay" in terms of who he is attracted to. When he was married he was faithful to his wife. Unless you have any knowledge to the contrary you should not aim to spread libelous comments live on air. Many people hold attractions that they have not pursued.
You create a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario, where if he isn't open about his sexuality he's "dishonest", and when he is if's "all about you". From an outside perspective I simply see it as him sharing his life and retaining his intregrity. There's no scandal here. If someone gets divorced is that "all about them" too? Life happens. I fail to see how secrets is more righteous than being open. He can't change the past, but at least now he is presenting himself as he is.
thank god ppl like him are a dying breed
