Gay Student Expelled for Being Gay
News is out that Jason Johnson has been expelled from The University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Kentucky after admitting in a MySpace.com blog that he is gay. Well, what does this guy expect? Doesn't he know that homosexuality and Christianity don't mix? Word is that Johnson is considering filing suit against the school. Whatever happened to freedom of religion? If a citizen of this country believes that homosexuality is a sin, that is his protected right under our constitution. Unfortunately, our constitution only works for the minority.
Let me tell you where the church is headed in this country. For evangelical, fundamental Christian churches that preach that homosexuality is a sin, they are headed for persecution. I believe this persecution will begin with lawsuits being filed by groups, such as homosexuals, against these churches and their ministers. The special interest groups, in our example, the homosexuals, will prevail. Next, our government will revoke the tax exempt status of these churches. Also, I believe ministers will be charged with hate crimes if they refuse to allow homosexuals and other minority groups that are "anti-Christian" to attend or partake in church ordinances. Then, I believe the government will eventually either shut down churches that they do not consider to be "tolerant" or they may even take such churches over.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not a gospel of inclusion. It is a gospel of exclusion. When a person converts to Christianity, they are required by God Himself to give up the ways of the world and sins such as homosexuality. If they do not, they are not worthy to be called by the name of Christ.
The horrors I speak of are already on their way. Hate crime has been passed in most of the United States which is a complete violation of our human rights. Unfortunately, for the true "church" to do what it is called to do, I am afraid that persecution is vital. When the church has it easy, they become complacent and do not fulfill the great commission as set forth by Jesus Christ. When it gets to the point that a Christian may have to face death if he/she proclaims their faith in Christ, it will weed out those that are lukewarm. When people see that sincerity in faith, the world will see the truth behind the Gospel and more people will begin to follow Jesus Christ and his teachings.
Way to go University of the Cumberlands! Stand strong for your faith!

I could go on and on disagreeing with each and every point you make, but there is no point. YOU are convinced YOU know the truth and therefore YOU are right. What I will point out is that if what YOU believe is true, which I fervently believe it isn't, then jesus h.christ himself needs to finally get off his backside, return and DO something about ALL the injustice you christians feel persecuted by. But it ain't gonna happen. Ever. Did you know the the USA is the second most religious country in the world. Who's first? Pakistan. Lovely....
"While traditional religious belief and participation in organized religion have steadily declined in most advanced industrial nations, especially in Western Europe, this is not the case in the United States," says Ronald Inglehart, a researcher at the Institute for Social Research (ISR) and director of the ISR World Values Surveys, which were conducted in more than 80 nations between 1981 and 2001. The US trails only Pakistan and India in religious adherance.
