The Gospel of Inclusion In the Wake of the Eddie Long Scandal - I Am Not A Perfect Man

Rev. Carlton Pearson says that all will go to Heaven, but does that mean just because or does it mean that once we all accept Jesus as our Lord & Savior in the end and repent we can all go to Heaven?

I would like for us to dialogue on this. Also, what did Eddie Long (at this point I can no longer refer to him as Bishop, because while they may be allegations, a statement such as "I am not a perfect man..." says a lot without saying it all, follow me?) what did he mean when he said he was not perfect? I personally believe it is an underlying admittance orchestrated to protect the integrity of his legal battles, currently pending...Let's discuss!

  1. Such a hot and sensitive subject. I have to bust out the bible..."Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death..." Romans 1:32. But who is anyone to judge? A heterosexual may be just as sinful, i.e, not honoring thy parents also deserves death. Heterosexual or homosexual, we're all doomed! Hence, I agree with pastor that gay folks may have a place just as straight folks...but only in a heaven where both are disillusioned. :)

  2. I don't believe he's as long as he thinks he is.

  3. Amen Sister Suzy! That what this dialogue is all about, break out that wonderful guidebook the Father left to us! No sin is greater than any other. However, leaders of the church will always be held to higher standard, but at the same time we cannot as followers of God lift them to the level of deity. You will be sorely disappointed. I recently heard some news about a church leader that I once thought was an angel, much to my disappointment he lived the double life of marriage and extramarital affairs...we are all like sheep to slaughter everyday...

  4. Amen Diva! That's what I meant to say...No sin is greater than any other. Thank you for that. Very true...cannot be blinded by every church leader, although I do have some room for compassion for those that have been blinded by the enemy. By the way, cool choice of colors on this. :)
