Comments on: Jay Bakker given the silent treatment at church

This was a staged service and sermon. It took place several years ago at Donnie Earl Paulk’s so-called “Grace Church” (since disbanded) Donnie Earl is now the senior pastor at his father, Earl Paulk’s, church where he is preaching “pro-love” and “acceptance of all,” no matter what they believe. It may have been staged to seem that the room didn’t wholeheartedly accept Mr. Bakker’s words but I assure you this is not the case. Paulk’s church preaches acceptance whether you’re gay, straight, Christian, atheist, Buddhist, whatever your stripe is, as long as your money is green, the Paulks accept you with open arms and even more eager offering plates. Any congregant who doesn’t agree with the Paulk’s view on things does not stay around long. Many thousands of people have left the Paulk’s churches because of the sexshul promiscuity of Donnie Earl’s father and uncle. I don’t have any problem with acceptance of gays or anyone else in the church, but the Paulks and Bakkers do it for financial gain alone; it has nothing to do with love or acceptance.

If the Bible did not exist, and if there were no other religions on the face of the earth to condemn homosexuality human anatomy itself would scream from rooftops that homosexuality is abnormal and unnatural~!~!Even a little boy knows he is different from his sister and mother. And even ANIMALS know to mate with the OPPOSITE sex, this in itself is a REBUKE to homosexuals and those who promote this deviant and evil practice of men having “sex” with men and women having “sex” with women.
But a greater lesson is the wrath of God against this type of ungodliness as expressed in the destruction of Sodom and Gommorah, God is sickened by homosexuality, and such depravity provokes the Most High to wrath, where there will be no escape. Homosexuals need to hear this message, that God will cast them into hell if they continue to live in sexual perversion. It is the loving thing to do to warn the sexual deviant that his sin will land him in hell for all eternity if not repented of. That is true love for a lost soul. For Jay Bakker to say that homosexuality is not a sin it to teach doctrines of demons.
Homosexuals need to stop blaming Christians because we revile their perverse lifestyle. Their argument is not with us the messengers but with the God of the Universe. He made the rules of how we are to conduct ourselves and how we are to use our bodies. And having sex with someone of the same sex is an abomination to God. Repent Jay.

Well, his own mother was progay so what do you expect. She was not a good example for him and he has adopted what his mother taught. He’s trying the guilt trick. Well Jay, it’s not going to work. We know better than that. You are of your father the devil and you will be with him eternally one day if you don’t repent and stop this mess. Your mother was wrong Jay. We love you, yes but we hate what you are trying to get people to except. How dare you use M.L.K. for this ridiculous message.

Praise God for the “Silent Protest.” VOLUMES were said as the congregation became quiet, without being rude or impolite towards him as a speaker. Instead of protesting him off the platform or turning off the P.A. system, he was just allowed to dig a deeper hole for himself! There is NOTHING is God’s Word that supports homosexuality, so thumbing through the Bible was fruitless! LOL

Quite Frankly, I am surprised at the “congregations” reaction. This type of teaching is right in line with the Son-Phew’s (Bakers) theology. Maybe… just maybe they are waking up to the truth.

@Robert. it was my understanding that the wearing of earings or jewelry for that matter was a cultural thing.

seeing that the world is now so diverse but yet small, how would one comment on a localised christian tribe, let’s say from south america or akebuland wearing adornments that we may find excessive?

Isn’t it that people wear jewelry for adornment firstly, which may form a part of cultural tradition as i aforely mentioned?

In any case i don’t believe because he was adorned as such should be a matter of concerned tied in with his message. There are certain communities who give a definition to why they wear jewelry, but what we must realise when people would have first started wearing adornments, it was for that first, then beliefs, lifestyles etc would have come into the reasonings behind it. we then should not cause other peoples reasonings for doing things be the definition for us doing things, especially if we do so with a pure heart.

Blessings and Shalom

To be honest, I feel the way he does when it comes to feeling sad for people with same sex attractions and the battles that WE go through such as depression, fear, self-hatred, frequent rejection by family, peers and the church and so forth.

But the solution isn’t to allow our FEELINGS to determine our ACTIONS and the CHOICES we make in life.

Rather, the solution is to be like Jesus who prayed “not my will but thine be done.”

Sadly, the ground that needs to be fought is being ignored or is being surrendered to the philosophy of our day, namely the revisionist hermeneutic that undergirds it all.

Even so-called conservative seminaries have given up this ground in the name of so-called respectable scholarship. I see it everywhere – at Dallas Theological Seminary, Westminster Seminary (CA), Calvin Seminary – you name it. This is why a so-called “conservative” Christian like Misty Irons can be an advocate for Gay Marriage.

Yuck!

The whole MLK thing creeps me out. I could never pander like this to a mostly black crowd. It gives me an oh so creepy feeling.

It is as if Jay was using the MLK card as the last ditch effort to sway the crowd. (Jay – “Hmmm, I know! I’ll pull out a MLK speech that always works in black churches) -Pathetic!

Next thing you know Jay will start speaking all “southern” like Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail.

No shame!

EACH DAY, THE EVIL OF THE LAST DAYS IS UNFOLDING BEFORE OUR EYES. THE BOLDNESS OF BLIND AND FALSE PROPHETS IS CRAZY, TO SEE THESE PEOPLE COME INTO A CHURCH AND PROCLAIM THE DIRTY LIES OF SATAN IN FRONT OF THE PEOPLE OF GOD IS VERY DISTURBTING.
LET US ALL STRIVE TO WALK CLOSER TO OUR LORD JESUS UNTIL THE DAY OF HIS COMING.
