GAY AGENDA WATCH:Soulforce aims to 'dialogue' with six mega-churches; warning offered

[[[A coalition of groups led by Soulforce is targeting six U.S. mega-churches in an effort to foster dialogue about Christian views on homosexuality.]]]Caleb Price with Focus on the Family says the campaign by the homosexual advocacy group has a friendly façade that belies the agenda of the group-and that the churches targeted need to be on guard.This spring, members of the pro-homosexual group Soulforce and its allies will visit six well-known churches throughout the nation. Dubbed as "The American Family Outing," the campaign targets the following churches: Lakewood Church (pastored by Joel Osteen), The Potter's House (T.D. Jakes), Hope Christian Church (Harry Jackson), New Birth Missionary Baptist Church (Eddie Long), Willow Creek Community Church (Bill Hybels), and Saddleback Church (Rick Warren).[[[According to the Soulforce website, "lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people" and their families will attempt to visit with members, pastors, and leaders of the churches to talk about religious views on homosexuality. Their objective? "To begin a process of changing hearts and minds" in those churches, says a document outlining the campaign, and "to educate the national public through the media on the issues of faith, family, and sexuality." The website explains that a delegation of "families" including adults and children will visit each of the six churches.]]]Caleb Price, a research analyst with Focus on the Family, [[[[[[warns that people should not be fooled by the campaign, the goal of which he claims is to disseminate a "false doctrine.""As with any temptation to disregard God's clear word on any given matter, this attempt by Soulforce and their allies is a classic example of what we see in Genesis Chapter 3, when the serpent tempts Eve by asking 'Did God really say ...?'" says Price. "And I think perhaps the biggest lesson we can take from that account is it's best not to talk to snakes. Scripture clearly teaches that there will be a great falling away in the last days and there will be wolves in sheep's clothing who will try to enter into the fold and deceive even the elect."]]]]]]amen to that!!!!![[[[Soulforce plans to recruit "forty diverse families" for the campaign, train them during a weekend session in February, then-after visiting the two Texas-based churches (Lakewood in Houston, and The Potter's House in Dallas)-divide them into four teams to travel to the other churches. Clergy leaders who have a "demonstrated knowledge and skill in articulating an inclusive faith," says Soulforce, will serve as primary spokespersons for each team.]]]]{{{{{{Price offers a warning specifically to the mega-churches destined for a visit during the American Family Outing."These churches that have been targeted by Soulforce need to be clear about the real agenda behind these staged actions," he says. "It's not for dialogue and greater understanding-it's to tempt them to embrace a false doctrine, which will keep many from the gospel message of hope and transformation for those who are trapped in homosexuality."}}}}}}The Soulforce campaign begins Mother's Day weekend and runs through Father's Day weekend. Collaborating with the homosexual advocacy group are the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches, the National Black Justice Coalition, and the San Francisco-based group COLAGE (Children of Lesbians and Gays Everywhere).
PS:I said it once and I say it now again,THE BIBLE CANNOT BE CHANGED.THe WORD of GOD is the TRUTH and what GOD said 6000 years ago is good for today and now...SIN is SIN,here,in New York City ,in CHina in the Moon....
HOMOSEXUALITY is SIN.PERIOD.
I don't think any of these churches need a bunch of so called"gay families"to come to church and teach its members about how great their lives are...sigh...
The TRUTH is that these "families" are composed by couples of the same gender that engage in unnatural sexual practices-men with men and woman with woman-and that have conceived children(in the case of women) thru artificial insemination,from a semen bank and in the case of men have already children from a heterosexual relationship or previous marriage(this is true also for women)or that have adopted children.
The church as a whole is not a bunch of religious idiots and hateful people.
It is just the Body of Christ on earth that try to live and walk as Jesus did.And that also calls sin to EVERYTHING that the Word of GOD calls sin.
There is no possible"dialogue" without compromising somehwere...
So what is their strategy...???Is it to bring a "new doctrine"...That's TRASH....
I said already I have no problem with gays or any other sinner coming to my church to hear the Word of God,cause they are looking for the TRUTH and looking to be set free to have a new life in Christ.
If I was one of the pastors of these churches I wouldn't dit down to waste my time into a conversation that will lead to a dead end....
I kind of tend to think that Joel Osteen-though-will embrace them and receive them and accomodate them....Instead of telling them the truth.....
NO COMPROMISING WITH GOD's WORD ...
As in the days of Noah....
