Cathedral of Hope? Or Cathedral of Delusion?

Doesn't it seem preposterous that a church could be founded on the basis of one's preferred sin? And then that the members could be so delusional as to believe that God is blessing them for it?

That seems to be the case with the Cathedral of Hope - a "church" founded for gays. During the Christmas season, they had a children's Christmas pageant there. Twenty years ago, when people were still spiritual enough to be somewhat ashamed of their sin, the church didn't have a children's ministry. It's a sign of our times that homosexual couples now have enough children to start one. It's the focus of that ministry that concerns me.

David White is the chairman of the church's board of directors and the "father" of 9-year-old twin boys. He said the children are taught "faith with a focus on total acceptance." Does that mean that he wants his sons to accept pedophiles, murderers, liars, thieves, and bigots? Can he show me a scriptural case for that? I don't think so. In fact, God says to "believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." And then He says, "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves . . . Without natural affection, . . . lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."



Ask Ananias and Sapphira about the consequences of "playing" at being good Christians. God doesn't want us to play church. And if the church is founded on a lie -- that homosexuality is "normal" and "right" -- the members are delusional and that's exactly what they're doing.
