Jesus loves Homosexuals!

Very interesting ministry.
Some very good articles, if you like theology with a surprising dose of logic:
http://mccchurch.org/HandBible/HandBible.htm
http://mccchurch.org/notsin/notsin.htm
http://mccchurch.org/Rstory2/1rstry2.htm
Reading a little more it appears to be a splinter protestant church founded in the 60's by a gay minister, which has since then propagated and done various things.
Also, I see it's based in Hollywood, CA. This may undercut it's image as a serious church.
Does anyone know anything about this group?

If you don't ask, how will you know?

You know, the spelling of "mccchurch" looks an awful lot like McChurch. Perhaps McDonald's could try expanding into a new field.
I can see it now:
McChurch. Over 1 billion saved!

That could be a good idea, but it would eventually face competition in the form of Salvation King(tm) and Mary's(tm).Darth Wong wrote:You know, the spelling of "mccchurch" looks an awful lot like McChurch. Perhaps McDonald's could try expanding into a new field.

That's the wrong way to tickle Mary, that's the wrong way to kiss!
Don't you know that, over here lad, they like it best like this!
Hooray, pour les français! Farewell, Angleterre!
We didn't know how to tickle Mary, but we learnt how, over there!

Bad time to mention I've seen the phrase 'Over 1 billion saved' on a church's message thingy?Darth Wong wrote:You know, the spelling of "mccchurch" looks an awful lot like McChurch. Perhaps McDonald's could try expanding into a new field.

Well, that would clarify a great deal of fundie thought...Our LORD, Jesus Christ wrote:Don't you get it? All men are homosexuals! But God says it's wrong, so no one is supposed to act on their true desires! That's the basis of Christianity. You're not supposed to do the things you really want to do. Next question.
Here. Thanks, Bob McDob.
Life is all the eternity you get, use it wisely.

When I was only 5 years old, God greased up my carrot and held it in his hand. As he lovingly stroked my onions he told me, "Son, don't you ever let any man do what I'm doing to you right now. Only stick your carrot into barnholes. Carrots go into barnholes. Got that? Don't you go sticking your carrot into another man's mouth or mystery hole...or you'll DIE and go to HELL."
That's really all I have to say about that page.

This is a duh statement that seems to be missed all the time.The most beautiful word in the Gospel of Jesus Christ is "whosoever" . All of God's promises are intended for every human being. This includes gay men and lesbians.
We have some definate liberal thinking which makes perfect sense coming from California. But this point makes so much sense I could shit myself.Biblical Interpretation and Theologyalso change from time to time. Approximately 150 years ago in the United States, some Christian teaching held that there was a two-fold moral order: black and white. Whites were thought to be superior to blacks, therefore blacks were to be subservient and slavery was an institution ordained by God. Clergy who supported such an abhorrent idea claimed the authority of the Bible. The conflict over slavery led to divisions which gave birth to some major Christian denominations. These same denominations, of course, do not support slavery today. Did the Bible change? No, their interpretation of the Bible did!
