After seeing the latest NC pastor's hate driven sermon hit the blogosphere I have to, once again, write a response. This rant came from Charles L. Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church in Maiden, NC. In his sermon, Worley said that it made him sick to his stomach to see homosexuals marry. But it was what he said next that has caused this firestorm.
Worley said that two separate areas, one for gay men and one for gay women, should be built and enclosed by electric fences. He said they would "eventually die off because they couldn't reproduce." Seriously? How much hate can one person have? What really ticks me off is he calls himself an ordained minister who preaches the Word of God each week. Now, I know I shouldn't judge someone but this is flat out ridiculous!
For those of you who are reading this and may have more questions about the Christian faith, let me tell you, this is not the love that God shows to us or teaches us to show others! He shows us all, regardless of who we are, unconditional love. He hates the sin we have but still loves us and is there for us regardless! There is a note in my Bible that says we are permanently in debt to Christ for the love he gave to us. The only way to even begin to repay this debt is by loving others in return. I would ask, instead of bashing Mr. Worley, please pray for him because he obviously does not know the true Gospel.
UPDATE: NBC 17 News interviewed some of the PRBC members in support of Worley's comments. One in particular caught my attention. She said the pastor had every right to say what he said and cited the Bible as saying that "homosexuals are worthy of death." I don't know what version of the Bible she's reading but Romans 3:23 says: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
