I pray that more people like you speak out and make a difference. Jesus isn't the savior for just the perfect people, he's the savior for drunkards, rapists, murderers and gays. Thank you for showing love and compassion rather than anger and condemnation.
@themikestroud maybe, but that's got to hurt someone deeply to hear that people think their lifestyle is as bad as murdering someone. That's like me telling someone they have a pretty baby, when deep down, I know it's not true. I just lied to save someone's feelings, which is a sin. Should I be lumped in with a murderer or rapist?
@lilrara11804 Thankfully Christ died for all of us...it doesn't matter what others think about us...only what the Lord thinks, and if we receive Him as our Lord and Savior, His blood covers all our sin...no matter who we are or what we have done...He is the only one that can truly change us...
How about those folks out there that take the bastardized bible, made by man and written to make them feel better about things that make them uncomfortable, and live by that. Is that called the dumb redneck lifestyle? Or the clouded Christian lifestyle? Cause everyone on here upset over this beautiful singer living her life the way GOD made here, seems to be over the top backwards ass country bumpkins. If your bible didn't come right from God, then how do you KNOW how he feels about us or U?
--- As an unrepentant lesbian (8 years no less), Miss Knapp should be dealt with according to Matthew 18.
-- I Corinthians 5 talks about "delivering one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
-- Again, we must look at her unrepentance as rebellion; and rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft.
@WillysWoodPile Thanks Willy, Satan sure will be busy with the church today...The Lord is definately giving us plenty of time to return to Him with a pure heart and Life.
@themikestroud -- What most Christians do not realize is that Jesus Christ has given us power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over ALL the power of the enemy.
I read the article and interview in the Christianity Today issue where she "came out". It was very upsetting to me, not because I'm a fan (I'm not), but because it seems this this could be a potential step toward acceptance of something scripture is clearly against. I don't even fault her so much for the associated sin as I do her decision to go public with it. I have more than my share of problems, but I want to conquer them, not ask people to accept or endorse them.

I've seen people who think that homosexuality is the absolute worst sin around-but it's not- true believers will reach out to gays with love and honesty-not with just"God is love" and watch them fall off into hell, but the whole truth spoken with respect and gentleness-just as the eleventh commandment is not "judge not" , homosexuality is not an unforgivable sin-May God give us a burden and the courage to share the true gospel with all-for while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us-
@ransom4many09 Homosexuality is called an abomination in the Bible! there are other sins that are called "infamy" too. The consequences of homosexuality on human society is nothing short of a disaster if it proliferates. Sin in general is no joke though!
@flypejose -I know what homosexuality is called in the Bible, so I agree with what you wrote. I never made any jokes in my comment, so I agree with you there too. Yes homosexuality is a sin that Christ can forgive and turn hearts away from so I hope Christians are as burdened by heteroseual sin, which is also no joke either. God bless.
HI Mike, thanks for the heartfelt post on the youtube about JKnapp. As someone who works with children, teens & adults who look up to me -could you speak just a little about the shattering of her witness, and her SIN? Although i do agree about the grace and mercy of God that covers -& having a humble spirit, do we really need to be ambiguous about calling it sin? and should we perhapsbe praying for her to come out of that sin?
@maimaiem Thanks for the response and I agree, it is sin, Lying, Adultery, Gossip, Same Sex relations have no place in our lives if we are to please our Heavenly Father. I think about what Jesus said to the woman caught in adultery, Woman, where are your accusers? Go and sin no more. She was in sin and so were the boys with the stones. Jesus has a way to reveal our faults to us and bring us back to his purpose for him, Only He can do that...I just try to keep my bag of stones empty.
I believe she does also...thanks, Mike
