\n

The news about the two leaders of Hillsong Church’s choir from New York city who declared themselves gays<\/a> and they are going to get married next year brought sorrow to all the cristians. The statements<\/a> of the pastors from Hillsong added to sorrow. Hillsong Church<\/a>\u00a0is a Pentecost Megachurch that activates in 15 countries and meets over 100.000 people. In Moldova I do not know a Hillsong Church, but in many\u00a0neo-protestant churches you can listen at worshiping songs that were composed at Hillsong and now they are being translated in many languages, including romanian and russian.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, the founding pastor of the Hillsong Church from Australia, Brian Houston, published on his blog an article<\/a>\u00a0in which he presents his official position to homosexuality and their marriages. The article appeared under the title: \u201dDo I love gay people?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Brian Houston starts his article with the affirmation that he loves people and that he cares that humanity and some within the Christian church can be so quick to alineate and ostracise others. Then he says he remains in the official position of the Church to the homosexual lifestyle and to the gay marriage. He also says:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201dI do believe God\u2019s word is clear that marriage is between a man and a woman. The writings of the apostle Paul in scripture on the subject of homosexuality are also clear, as I have mentioned in previous public statements.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Then he also says:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201dHillsong Church welcomes ALL people but does not affirm all lifestyles.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What does this mean? Even where can acceptance go and where does it stop? The answer is below and bothers every christian.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201dSo if you are gay, are you welcome at Hillsong Church? Of course! You are welcome to attend, worship with us, and participate as a congregation member with the assurance that you are personally included and accepted within our community. But (this is where it gets vexing), can you take an active leadership role? No.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The pastor Brian Houston says one but does something else. He says that he remains on the positions of the Scriptures and church regarding at homosexuality, but his affirmations shows that he departed and wants to please people more than God. Would Paul proceed the same if he was to hear that two of the choir leaders decided to get married? Chapter 5 from the Epistle I by Paul to Corinthians clearly shows how whould Paul proceed. Being far, the Corinthians came to Paul of Cloe and told him that in the Church of Corinth happened a case of fornication, case that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man from the members of the church lived with his father’s wife, his step-mother. When Paul heard it, he immediately took action because he loved the one who sinned and he loved all people from the church and he wrote them:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201dIt is actually reported that there is\u00a0sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans,\u00a0for a man has his father’s wife.\u00a0And\u00a0you are arrogant! Ought you\u00a0not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you.<\/strong>\u00a0For though\u00a0absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment<\/strong> on the one who did such a thing.\u00a0When you are assembled\u00a0in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus,\u00a0<\/strong>you are\u00a0to deliver this man to Satan<\/strong> for the destruction of the flesh, so\u00a0that his spirit may be saved\u00a0in the day of the Lord.\u00a0Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that\u00a0a little leaven leavens the whole lump?\u00a0Cleanse out the old leaven<\/strong> that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.\u00a0Let us therefore celebrate the festival,\u00a0not with the old leaven,\u00a0the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.\u00a0I wrote to you in my letter\u00a0not to associate with sexually immoral people–not at all meaning\u00a0the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters,\u00a0since then you would need to go out of the world.\u00a0But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone\u00a0who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler–not even to eat with such a one.<\/strong>\u00a0For what have I to do with judging\u00a0outsiders?\u00a0Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?<\/strong>\u00a0God judges\u00a0those outside.\u00a0“Purge the evil person from among you<\/strong>.” (1 Corinthians 5:1-13)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Pastor Brian Houston with Carl Lents from Hillsong Church from New York City,<\/p>\n

who put them in this service, are bound in front of Christ immediately to take action and to excommunicate those two worship leaders who serve in the choir of the church. And then he must make clear affirmations regarding homosexuality, without saying \u201dbedtime stories\u201d to gays and to the rest of the people. If he says that he agrees with everything Paul said, then he must speak to the people clear and outrightly, as Paul did when he wrote:<\/p>\n

\n

Or do you not know that the unrighteous\u00a0will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:\u00a0neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,<\/strong>nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Let us pray for pastors Brian Houston and Carl Lentz to repent, to come back to the calling they have from Christ and to do their service with sincerity, to seek to please the Saviour and not people.\u00a0Let them realize well that if they leave now this little leaven will leaven the whole lump which is composed not only of the over 100,000 people who come to worship at Hillsong\u00a0churches but also from those who are following them in the whole earth and those who believed and who think that they spread the Word of God. The challenge that the ministers from Hillsong are passing through, will come earlier or lately upon all the ministries of the Gospel from west countries and not only. May God help us to stay strong when the times of this confrontation for us will come.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Let us hurry now to teach people the biblical truth about sexuality and homosexuality. I recomand all pastors urgently to study with the churches the Inductive Bible Study \u201dWhat does Bible say about sexuality?\u201d by Kay Arthur and BJ Lawson. In this way people won’t know just what God says about sexuality and homosexuality, but also how we, like christians,\u00a0should report to the people that were cought in sexual sins and in homosexuality.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
