Just seems to me that now more than ever, Satan is confusing the masses at every corner; every curve; every opportunity. We now have Pastors condemning other Pastors, openly, and ensuring that the great debate about what's wrong and what isn't, continues. What happens? More people turn away in greater numbers...precisely what the enemy had hoped for. It's so sad. :-(

"I choose to live my life by what I read in the scriptures"

Really? So he doesn't wear clothing of mixed materials, endorses slavery and stones adulterers to death?

Condemning homosexuality on the basis of selective reading of the bible shows a bigoted and limited intellect.

@dayweed85a exactly.. RELIGION...not relationship with God. They used God to support their evil agenda. Its not religion its money that caused wars.

Notice what Piers said at the very beginning of the video. He calls homosexuality a "MORAL" issue. And that's what I think people are forgetting. What people do behind closed doors is their business. It doesn't need to be flaunted. If you want to participate in homosexual behavior, that's your right. But we do not have the right to expect people to tolerate or even accept that lifestyle. Again, homosexuality is a moral issue not a civil one.

@uberrawesomee Thank you. I mean, What is Piers talking about? Joel isn't a judge, he is a messenger. God said that homosexuality is a sin, Joel is just passing on the message. sheesh

Why is he so hating? Joel Osteen speaks softly then gets attacked. The Bible says homosexuality is a sin, so what else do you want him to say?

@jdogg858 say hi for me when he does lmao

[jdogg858]

@dayweed85a well i do know that Christ is soon to return for his followers and all those who have died for more than 2,000 years for him will be resurrected and be in paradise with Christ forever and if you dont make the choice to receive Jesus as your personal savior you will remember in that moment what i have tried to explain to you. Jesus is willing to save you and he loves you more than you will ever know JOHN 3:16

[dayweed85a]

@jdogg858 yep, proves you know nothing :) cya

[jdogg858]

@dayweed85a so i will leave you with this thought 1 Corinthians 1: 18-19 "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
