God must be weeping.

Unless he repents, Reverend Jon Haack probably won't like it when he meets his Maker. Haack is the pastor of the Promise Metropolitan Community Church -- a "church" that caters to gays. He's responsible for a billboard blitz in Dallas that perverts the scriptures to condone his sin. One says, "The early church welcomed a gay man." This lie is accompanied by a reference to Matthew 8:5-13. Another says, "Jesus affirmed a gay couple." This lie is accompanied by a reference to Acts 8:26-40.

Matthew 8:5-13 is the account of Jesus healing the servant of the centurion. I can't for the life of me figure out where the gay man is in this passage, or if I missed him somewhere, where the early church welcomed him. Technically, there was not yet a "church."

Acts 8:26-40 relates the story of Philip's witness to the Ethiopian eunuch. I can't find a gay couple in the passage, and Jesus was not bodily there to "affirm" the non-existent gays.

The devil is dancing with glee for now, and God is weeping. But He will not allow them to get away with hijacking his Word.
