Many people are still falsely indoctrinated into believing the silly myth that being gay is a 'sin", when of course, it's not. The men who wrote the Bible made many mistakes, borne out of their ignorance about the world and the human condition, but God, in His infinite wisdom, guides wise truth-tellers like Bacon to reveal His truth to the deluded masses. Being gay is okay. It's the way the Lord makes some of His children, and the Lord does not make mistakes.

Remember Your Highness: The God of Abraham did not write the Holy Bible. Rather, various people did over the course of several centuries. If you disagree, you would be bearing false witness.  You need to research the Holy Bible's history before stating falsehoods as fact. Otherwise, you will continue lying.

@ironspoon we know God loves everyone but he hates the sin! sin comes from the devil ..it don't matter what language it's written in the word of God don't change if it did change in your eyes how come you say God loves us and save us? if you can read about love and saving us why did they only mistranslate the part of homosexuality ? God say if u love me then keep my commandments

[PrincessAleandra90]

@ironspoon wow you sure twisted the scriptures so when God said no fornication he meant sex without marriage wrong is wrong it's a sin what do you think about same sex! when God called homosexuality an abomination he never said those who prostitute is an abomination he said ALL sexual immorality being gay is 1 thing but don't justify this sin! we ask to be forgiving he saves us it also said any man be in Christ he is a new creature old things pass away

@PitterPatty Exactly my point. If despite their religious backgrouds these people were so evil, that proves the fact that we are NOT ALL born with good intentions towards others...

[GoldenbanjoDJ]

Yeah when God made us we were good, but when we fell we were no longer good... How did this guy become a preacher? Basic concepts completely overlooked

@kyoshix3 God loves all people. Being Gay is not a choice, and all those whom except jesus as thier savior are saved and loved by God. The bible is a mistranslation. in it's origional laguage it was talking against prostitiution (and same sex prostitution) and rape. Sex for the sake of sex and not love. Feel no sadness for being Gay, as long as you hold true to love and love god you will be fine.

I'm questioning my faith b/c I'm gay and I can't believe in something that damns me, but this guy kind of makes me want to believe in a loving God =)

The Bible is quite clear: homosexuality is a sin - and it's absolutely fine to rape your female slaves. Also Christianity outlaws pork - and this includes Rev. Ed Bacon. After all he has cut the hair away from his temples which the bible also calls a sin. And I'll bet he's coveted his neighbour's donkey. And as for prawns, arrghh! Don't get me started on prawns!
