I just wanted to comment about what just_call_me_dookie said. The argument that this article was trying to make was that to be gay and preach is hypocritical. Homosexuality is a sin according to the Bible thus to be a preacher and to sin frequently is against God's law. You don't have to agree with God's law. That's why he gave us free will. So we could make the choice to do as he says or not to. If your choice is not to listen to him then that's fine but you shouldn't expect to go to heaven because you chose the world. And if you chose to fallow the world on a regular basis with out repenting then you shouldn't be the leader of a church. Your choice is not to listen so don't lead others who are trying to fallow him away from his path. If you struggle with being gay, or alcohol, or being a drug addict, or being a frequent lier, or being an adulterer or any other sin then you clearly aren't strong enough in the faith to lead others that's just what the bible says. for Christians it's sad because we know that every person we see will either go to heaven or to hell. there is no middle ground. We walk a narrow road and the window into heaven is small. Many will not make it. Sorry if that seems exclusive but it's a hard life to live. Just thought I would clarify that .=D
