Christian Singer Jennifer Knapp Says She's Gay

[~candice~]

"you are black, my brother,

and my whiteness cries for you

for there won't be any shadow

without your rich, dark hue.

And I'll lose my way, my brother,

in a landscape stretched flat white

for there'll be no contoured valleys

without the shining of the night.

You are nameless, my sister,

and you leave me incomplete,

for I cannot know my fullest self

unless our two souls meet.

And I'll be bereft, my sister,

until we sing your song aloud

and raise your head amongst us-

welcomed, celebrated, proud.

You are gay, my brother,

and a source of grace to me

reflecting on our human race

God's rich diversity.

And I need your courage, brother,

as you stand for who you are,

shining in our blindness

a lone and brilliant star."

- Edwina Gateley

"Christ in the margins"

Homosexuality isn't God's rich diversity. It's man's rich perversity.

We should not stand for who we are, because we are inherently sinful beings, but stand for who Christ is.

We should not stand for who we are, because we are inherently sinful beings, but stand for who Christ is.

Andy....that is priceless.

[Slepsog4]

The church needs good musicians regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation.

It is not orientation. It is abominable behavior. She is not fit to do or say anything representing Christ or His church.

She must repent or she will perish eternally.

[Slepsog4]

God's diversity is a beautiful thing.

He made them male and female.

He made them red, brown, yellow, black, and white.

He made them with a variety of eye and hair color as well.

That is diversity.

Sexual immorality is sin.

God is very narrow when it comes to morality.

[Blien]

Amen. I agree, I hope she does NOT make christian music.

What??

[CSLewis]

I am proud of her coming out. It must have been really hard amidst all of her prejudice, homophobic, bigoted "fans"

I will be in prayer for all of my brothers and sisters in Christ who view homosexuality as a sin.

Peace

God says its a sin.

Romans 1

26 For this cause, God gave them up to dishonorable affections. For even their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature.

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another; males with males working out shamefulness, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was fitting for their error.

28 And even as they did not think fit to have God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do the things not right,

Among many other verses.

[CSLewis]

One's sexuality is determined at birth through genetics.

Annotations from the Oxford Bible on Romans 1:26-27

"Degrading passions, while Torah forbids a male "lying with a male as with a woman" paul's Jewish contemporaries criticized a range of sexual behaviors common in the pagan world. Although widely read today as a reference to homosexuality, the language of "unnatural intercourse" was more often used in Paul's day to denote not the orientation of sexual desire, but its immoderate indulgence, which was believed to weaken the body (the due penalty).
