Update To High Point Church Story

Sister Toldjah has an update which suggests High Point Church didn't so much dis a Gay man's lifestyle and family after his death by refusing certain requests, they just weren't so all fired up about having teh Gay thrust upon them. Can't fault someone for that.

Cecil was not a member of High Point Church, yet this church selflessly and sacrificially ministered to his family in the wake of his death, preparing and delivering food for the family and one hundred relatives and friends, along with many other expressions of kindness. The church offered to produce a video retrospective of Mr. Sinclair’s life for use during the memorial service. When the family provided the pictures to the church it was then that the church learned of their intention to make the memorial service a celebration of Cecil Sinclair’s gay lifestyle. According to a statement on the High Point Church Web site, one of the photos provided by the family showed a man touching another man inappropriately, along with other unsuitable photos.

The family also requested that “an associate of an openly homosexual choir” officiate at the service and that the homosexual choir sing during the service. “It became clear to the church staff that the family was requesting an openly homosexual service at High Point Church—which is not our policy to allow,” the statement on the church’s Web site said. After initially agreeing to host the memorial service, the church informed the family it could no longer do so based on the direction the family wanted to take it. The church then secured—and paid for—another location for the memorial service, which the family declined. The church also produced the memorial video without the inappropriate photos.

That's too bad... and I guess that I gathered as much, "Spartan", give your apparent contempt for God throughout this thread.

Here's one for you:

"--- Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. ---" (Galatians 6:7, KJV)

I do hope that God will bless you by opening your eyes to the truth of His word.

I find it amazing that so many here pretend to know God's will so clearly, and yet are wrong on so many simpler, more scrutable truths.

How so?

God's word is quite clear on the matter of salvation. That is as simple as it gets.

Get saved, and the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth.

The problem is that as an unsaved man (or woman) ... you are spiritually blinded.

Romans 2
"Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things. But do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?"
