Ricky Dillard...Gay!?!?!


I recently heard what might be a rumor. Ricky Dillard is gay. I knew something was up when I seen him perform last year, but I just played it off. I discovered this rumor when I was watching a youtube video performance of him and "New G". The comments were literally all about his sexuality and the performance was obsolete to say the least. The entire page was a forum for condemning his sexuality.

I thought, " Wow, he gay and he sings gospel." Then I had to rethink the whole situation. " I know plenty of people who are gay and sing gospel; and even preach for that matter."

Is it better if someone is open in terms of their sexuality or is it better for them to keep it to themselves. Would it be more acceptable for Ricky to not shed light on his sexuality...if that were the case.

  1. He needs to pray for the spirit of wisdom and understanding, leave the natural man in death and be resurrected in Jesus Christ letting the Kingdom of God dwell in him as he is led by the Holy Spirit. You can't harbor a gay spirit, you must depart from evil.

    The bible clearly states that a man should not lay with another man as if he is a woman... it is an abomination. God says men turned the truth into a lie calling themselves wise but are fools...an in vile affections with womaen changing the natural use to unatural and men burning lust for eachother, leaving women to to be unseemingly with eachother... and when they choose not to apply God's word he gives hem over to a reprobate mind. They are worthy of death as well as those that find pleasure in those that do.

    1. The bible also says not to lie cheat or steal but we have people doing that everyday. Its amazing how people put a hierarchy on sin. Sin is Sin point blank and the period.

    2. Amen. Those that find pleasure in them that are gay is not right either. Those that allow them to be in their circles in church orother wise is worthy of death too. Well, I won't listen to his music anymore. I don't want God to cut me off.

    5. Amen the Bible is clear about same sex relationships. If he doesn’t get delivered from that demonic spirit it doesn’t matter how great he sings. He is condemning himself to the pits if he’ll. I will pray that he gets delivered because the Bible also says that God doesn’t desires that any should perish. As a minister myself I feel compelled to pray against that defiled spirit at all times no matter who it is in. Bless the Lord!!

  2. First of all when the New Testament was written it was to rid minds of the Old Testament's way of thinking. If we are going to have this mindset then we are going to HELL for eating pork and a lot of others things that people are doing. No sin is greater than another, as it is as sin to cast judgement. God, said let eveything that has breathe praise the Lord, not everthing that is straight praise the Lord.

    2. Jesus came to fulfill the law not to change it, but even in the New Testament it speaks against this lifestyle. Please read the 1st chapter of Romans.

    3. The bible also says that a man should not lie with another man, it is an abomination (Leviticus 18:22). The bible also says that homosexuals will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven (1st Corinthians 6:9). That is why Jesus said, "We must be born again (John 3:3) and turn from your wicked ways (2nd Chronicles 7:14).Getting saved is not a blank check to continue in sin. If you get saved and want to continue in sin, then why get saved?

    4. The Old Testament (Law) is the New Testament (Jesus) Concealed. The New Testament (Jesus) is the Old Testament (Law) Revealed. The Old Law is to be respected, the New Law is to be Obeyed. Jesus said I come to fulfill the Law, not to destroy it. (1st Corinthians 6:9)"DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT THE UNRIGHTEOUS WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD? DO NOT BE DECEIVED, NEITHER FORNICATORS, NOR IDOLATERS NOR ADULTERERS, NOR HOMOSEXUALS, NO SODOMITES. Living for the Lord Jesus Christ is not like Burger King and if your lifestyle does not line up with Gods Prescribed Order, in hell will you lift up your eyes.

    5. This is a lie set by Satan and accepted by man. THE OLD TESTAMENT IS NOT DEAD we are still judged by it. Where does it say in rhe bible that the old testament is done away with because of the new testament. We all need to wake up and realize how far "white supremacy" has taken us away from the truth. AHAYAH ASHAR AHAYAH ( I AM THAT I AM ) YASHAYA IS COMING IN HIS FATHER'S NAME AND I pray more people open their eyes to the truth. The deception goes so deep in this country by the" elites". Babylon will fall.

    6. We are to Judge unrighteousness (John 7:24) (Ezekiel 3:18) and YES there are sins that are greater than other sins (John 19:11). Stop making excuses for your sins. You CAN NOT argue scripture. TRUTH SOUNDS LIKE HATE, TO THOSE WHO HATE THE TRUTH. IF YOUR LIFESTYLE DOES NOT LINE UP WITH GODS PRESCRIBED ORDER, IN HELL WILL YOU LIFT UP YOUR EYES!!! AGAIN, TRUTH SOUNDS LIKE HATE, TO THOSE THAT HATE THE TRUTH.

    7. I'm in touch with the lyrics of the Gospel, praise and worship! When Jesus said "it is finished" he did what he had to do for us on earth while he lived, leaving us a choice. NOW, we've all fallen short of God's glory and we ALL will be judged for the good and the bad...it's not because of our works; it's because of God's GRACE and MERCY that we live, move and have our being.

  3. The problem isn't even so much that he is gay, but it's that he's gay. Follow me... you are right when you say that you no sin is greater than any other, but when Ricky Dillard or anyone for that matter, says that they are gay, they are refusing to acknowledge their sinful lifestyle. And whether we are looking at the old or new testament, that standard of accountability for church leaders never changed. By virtue of being in rebellion, he is no longer fit to hold his position in leadership. Only after repentance can he be restored. But, I would say that this also applies to more than just homosexuals, but all promiscuous behavior. But, what kills Ricky is that sex outside of marriage is a sin, and the Bible calls homosexuality an abomination. So, there's never a scenario where his sexual behavior is acceptable as a leader.

    1. Amen, sexual immorality will send you to hell the same as homosexuality will. As a believer you should not want to sin. The church world today has become a circus of side shows and disrespect to the Word of God. Jesus said, go into the world and preach the Gospel, not act like the world to preach it. These preachers/ pastors/bishops, have left the Apostle Paul and gone to visit the psychologist, giving Make Me Feel Good All The Way To Hell Sermons. When the world looks at the church today, it sees a spirit of its own. There are tens of thousands of preachers standing behind the pulpit and won't say anything, afraid to sand up on the Word of God, letting things slide and go just because somebody is a big tithe payer. They've lost their courage. We will all have to give account to the Lord and the Leaders will go first. God is not coming back for a church that has lost its way.

  4. This a reply to the respondent that says the new testament was written to rid the old testament. Read again. done away with us not having to sacrifice animals anymore but to go through the blood of Jesus that was shed on Calvary! We can eat pork because in the new testament, Jesus declared all food clean! Not homosexuality. It is still abomination to God. He hates it. No other sin is considered abomination but homosexuality oh forgive me, the new testament done away with abomination??? so you think! Wrong. It is unnatural and not the way God created us to be. We cannot produce laying with the same sex!!! Thats why God fashioned us male and female. An egg and an egg cannot produce fruit neither can a sperm and sperm produce. It is a waste!!! "Spilling the seed into the earth". FORBIDDEN. It should not be a pat on the back to freely do this. It is insane.

    2. Amen! He can be delivered, with repentance, if there's any truth to the matter. God uses sin to draw mankind unto him. The wisest thing any person can do to glorify God is to... win souls to Christ...then He calls us WISE!

I think a lot of people when and if they go to glory are going to be surprised as to really is there when the if they get there.I hate to see so much hatred come from people who claim to be saved.such language and words used.No wonder some people shy away from the church. shame on you all for such divisive attitudes that lead to our women being infected by men on the downlow rather than men who live their lives in truth rather than living a lie.You are not fooling God Or yourself.a double mineded man is unstable in all his ways.Only God can judge we cannot

  8. The reality of the matter is that the same way we judge others is the same way we will be judged (Matt. 7:1)

    "You hypocrites! First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

    So, don't be so quick to point a finger (there are 4 more pointing back at you.)

    We all have our own cross, only we can bare. The good news is that God looks beyond our faults and meet us at our point of need.

    If homosexuality that is that man's struggle, that is between him and GOD. We all have missed the mark and fallen short of the glory of GOD.

    Understand that God can use anyone, his music is anointed!

    People get caught up in the messenger and miss the message/YOU JUST MISSED YOUR BLESSING!!!

    If God used Stephen who was killing Christians, surely God has used Rickey!

  11. Wow! This is exactly why we are experiencing this epidimic in the church. The Bible declares that there is nothing new under the sun. Take it from someone that struggles with the same issues, most people in this life style don't really want to be. It is much deeper than just sex, but is a feeling that what you are doing is right eventhough what you know or have been told about it says that it is wrong. I believe that he and many others can be and will be delivered. As for his gift, the Bible declares that the gifts of God are without repentance. God can and will use whomever he please. David was an adulterer and murderer. Noah was a drunk. Abraham was a lier. Moses was a murderer and the list goes on and on. Gays have been in the church since there was a church, and are typically more gifted and more committed than many others. Does this justify sin.......NO! There is a problem, but bashing and condemning is not the answer. Jesus is the answer.

  13. The wages of sin is death, the wages of sin has always been death, and will always be death, but the gift of God is eternal life. If your struggling with anything that is not like God, acknowledge to God that you are a sinner without power to change and ask Jesus Christ to come into your life and save you and deliver you totally and completely from your horrible sins. And as God delivers you, live your life for Him who has rescued you from Hell.

    2. It's not your daughter, its satan trying to possess your daughter. We are all spirits in a flesh and demons are just as real as the Spirit of the Lord is. They are disembodied spirits that seek residence, mostly in humans. Demon Oppression: Demon spirits outside suppress the child of God. Demon possession: Demons possessing inside of an unsaved individual. The Holy Spirit and demon spirit/s can not dwell in the same body. If it is not of God it is sin.Sin is of Satan and all sin is a form of insanity, because Satan hates God, he wanted to be God (Isaiah 14: 13-15) and is doing all sorts of crazy things in this world, as he is the prince of the world for now (John 12:31) Our world is in the condition it is in because the church is in the condition it is in. The church is in worse spiritual condition than the reformation. When the world looks at the church of today, it sees a spirit of its own. Jesus said go into the world and preach the gospel not act like the world to preach it. Jesus said, come from among the world and be separate (2nd Corinthians 6:17), not blend in with the world. Jesus said do not love the world nor the things of the world or the love of the Father is not in you (1st John 2:15), not love the world and the Father won't mind. In every sinner there is a particular bent stronger in one way towards a particular sin. That does not mean they were born that way, it just means that the sin nature in them has a proclivity towards that sin; alcohol, homosexuality, lying, stealing, violence, gambling, drugs, devious acts, greed, racism; and that's not the thing that really sends them to hell, they're just a sinner. It's their refusal to obey the Plan of God that sends them to hell. The sin nature (as we were all born in original sin due to the fall of Adam and Eve, except Jesus) is not what you do, it who you are and no power on earth can break the bondage of sin, only the Blood of Jesus can, that is what He went to Calvary for to take away the sins of the world. Satan hates the female gender, because we are the producers. And whatever you do don't let her go to a psychologist, mind science. Psychology is the devils bible. Its man trying to solve mans problem, and billions of dollars have been spent and because it does not work, they just give you a bunch of mind altering medication that opens the door for demon spirits. When we place our faith in anything other than what Jesus did at Calvary, we are saying that what He did was not enough. You are a family of God and the moment you said yes to Jesus, is the moment you announced you battle with the devil, its called Spiritual Warfare and satan is going to fight tooth and nail and call on his reinforcers. God loves the sinner, but hates the sin. Romans 6, tells you how to have victory over sin. Trust in Christ in the price He paid at Calvary. (Proverbs 3:5-6) "Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean not to your own understanding. In ALL your ways acknowledge HIM and HE shall DIRECT your paths. Tell your daughter to pray to the Father in the name of His Son Jesus, to BAPTIZE her with the HOLY SPIRIT with the evidence of speaking in other tongues (Acts 2:2-4) ? He may do it immediately and He may not, she has to yield to the Spirit (Galatians 5:25) and as long as she's sincere He will give her the Ultimate gift when He sees her obedience (Acts 5:32). Just tell her if she does not quit then He will not quit. If God changed me, He can change anybody. God does not want anybody perfect as there is not one, perfect but Christ, He wants the worse like us, so He can show His Wonder Working Power!!! I've never seen a life that Jesus can't change. I'm just a Nobody, trying to tell Everybody, about SOMEBODY, who CAN SAVE Anybody. You're Nobody, until SOMEBODY LOVES YOU!!! You both are in my prayers

  15. I really wish that people would stop picking parts out of the bible to make them seem better than the ones that you're so busy pointing the finger at. In the bible it also states that having sex with anyone other than your spouse, the sin is worthy of death; in fact it states that even the though of anything sinful without the action as it states in the bible you have committed the sin. Whose to say that hetorsexual sex is less sinful than gay sex; in the bible both sides have been put to death or casted out. Our sins are between us & GOD only.

    ALL WE AS BELIEVERS OF JESUS CHRIST CAN DO IS PRAY. WE HAVE TO REALIZE THAT GOD LOVES THE PERSON BUT NOT THE SIN! WE HAD TO REALIZE THAT THIS IS A SPIRIT. I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I HAVE LEARNED TO START REBUKING ANY SPIRIT THAT IS NOT LIKE GOD. NO DONT JUDGE A MAN BECAUSE GOD IS THE ULTIMATE JUDGE. ALL WE CAN DO IS PRAY THAT DELIVERANCE WILL TAKE PLACE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. ITS A SAD THING TO WORSHIP AND PRAISE GOD DAY IN AND DAY OUT AND END UP IN HELL. BUT CAN I TELL YOU THERE ARE GOING TO BE MORE THAN JUST HOMOSEXUALS THERE. THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT THE RIGHTOUS WILL SCARCELY MAKE IT IN. SO IF IM DOING ALL I CAN DO NOW TO PLEASE GOD AND IM GONNA BARELY MAKE IT .....IM JUST GLAD THE GOD IS GOING TO DO THE SEPERATING BECAUSE CHURCH FOLK WOULD HAVE BEEN HAD YOU IN HELL. THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND TRUST ME HE KNOWS OUR HEART.

    With LOVE and kindness have I drawn thee. God is LOVE! Now abideth faith, hope and LOVE, but the greatest of these is LOVE! Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus. The life of a follower of Christ should be that like His. No one should ever justify someones sin. For it's all filth in His nostril. But should we condemn those who have struggles? I agree with so many of these posts. We have so much time pointing fingers that as I was searching for a new album on GOOGLE, the option "RICKY DILLARD GAY" pops up. This is probably more trifling to God than whatever is claimed that Ricky's doing. And the fact that(just as the crowd with the adulterous woman did when they tried to out her to Jesus), I believe He's in heaven hurting saying, haven't you learned anything from My sacrifice? He's soon to come and we all have to get our own houses in order. The strangest thing is, I wouldn't be surprised if God says to Ricky "well done Thy good & faithful servant" and tells most of you condemning and heartless people of God(supposedly) "depart from me ye workers of inequity." Our purpose of Christianity is to fulfill the great commission - go ye therefore and teach all nations. I don't think ONE time did it say put people in their place or decide who's right and who's wrong. I am SO sick of people making platforms of ANYBODY much less others who are doing the work of the Lord. I'll pray for you, you pray for me and watch GOD change things! (Not forums, not judgment, not criticism, or the foolishness on this post!!). ALL GLORY BELONGS TO YOU OH GOD!!

  20. In all honesty i ddin't read it all but the first couple things about him being gay and some peeps preachin and singing the gospel... ok im 15 years old and im trying to live a good christian life of course strugglees come up every once in a while and we sin daily so we gotta pick ourself up agina... im saved by the grace of God and i know it with out a shadow of a doubt. so correct me if im wrong.... in the bible being gay is a sin and is not right at all.... and eventually if you stay that way or do any sin excesivley you can be turned over to a reporobate mind if you do not accept the holy spirit and you keep denying it and living that way you will become reprobate which means you cannot be saved..... here is the deal little Homosexuals saying God loves me the way i am is so untrue he loves you but he despises your waays.... the deal here is if ur Gay your sinning and taht keeps you awayy from God and his holy spirit so you cannot preach or sing any gospel without it being invain... Being gay is an abomination keep it out of your mind pray that God will set you free from it if its not already to late.... hopefully its not to late... but if it is your heading to hell and thats all thaht needs to be said get your life straightined out please or your gonna end up sufring for it... and on top of it all your sins can lead other people to hell.... so never say oh well im gonna pay for what i do... well of corse but what you do affects other peopls lifes also.
    Thanks for reading.

  23. if you walk around with a mirror always making sure your life is perfect then you dont have time to worry about what others are doing. it takes 24hours a day 365 days a year to work out your own soul salvation so it is pointless to look down on somebody else when you will always have to work on your one self. if you have time to find bible verses on the sin he is doing then you are not fiding the ones that you need to apply to your own life.. all of us sin so again work on your own sins get your life perfect then you can talk about what others are doing if you have the time !!!!

  24. The Bible also says homosexuality is an abomination and liars will not inheirit the kingdom of God. The Word of God made these two issues specific and not lumped in with other sins as in Deuteronomy. If he's gay and not admiting it he's in double violation (homosexual and a liar). I don't judge but God does. Where is Ricky leading people to (dropping it like it hot on a gospel award show)? Even Saul prophesied on his hunt to kill David; but he was an "unfit leader" because he did not follow God. Ricky should read the Word, fast, pray, and receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit and follow God.

  26. in the response to the bible saying homosexuality is a sin it was never a law or a commandment every scripture in the bible that speaks on homosexuality was somebody asking the question to a person and they gave their views on what they believed and it was only to the person or group of people the question was asked to. Jesus never spoke on it and again no law or rules on it. people are using their own opinions to justify hate. if you don’t like gays then don’t be one but let people live their lives as they see fit .. you have enough to worry about keeping you own lives saved you don’t have time to worry about others.. I do find it weird that men and women can sleep with each other without marriage and people just over look it but if a man sleeps with a man then he is going to hell really ? sex is sex and if you are unmarried its wrong doesn’t matter who it with their doesn’t need to be a difference at all !!!!!!!!!!

  27. Homosexuality is a spirit. It is an obsessive addiction like drugs and alcohol. Satan knows our weaknesses and hits. When you have learned to love everybody as a real child of God and learned the tenderness of God's love, be careful - Satan doesn't sleep.

  28. Greetings and Salutations,

    I have "struggled" with homosexuality all of my adult life. My sister even called me out on it and now she is a lesbian. Remaining in church gave me the victory, however there are countless individuals that couldn't care any less about the santity and preciousness of the Holy Ghost and practice their homosexuality in full-view of their pastor/leader. Often, one's gifts provide a carte-blanche ticket to do anything in GOD's House as long as the offering basket overflows!
    I'm sickened by my own sin and struggle everyday, but I know that if I put my foot down-then, transition takes place. RD, is no different that anyone else struggling, but if he claims to have a "calling on his life" then he best get right before Jesus' return.
    Yea, from my view point it is all a mess: undercover Deacons, club-hopping choir members, and even married athletes who "mess around with men" -all while being members of some popular ministry or church.
    If you "defend" RD and know he is homosexual-then, you are covering for his weakness. GOD said, 'Call things out' because HE is no respecter of person-position-or platitude.
    Yea, most of us identify with perversions because the practicioner is our "friend", barber, nephew, Frat. bro, etc. GOD thinks all of this is dross compared to righteousness. Like I said about my sister-she was trying to be "smart" but now the enemy has us both travailing and it hurts because I know the path she takes and will end up spiritually wrecked!

  30. I sincerely wonder if those who were so quick to point out what the bible says would as quick to point out the verses that also condemns shaving, eating shellfish, eating pork, or having contact with women when they are menstruating. We cannot point out certain verses to enforce in this day and time and leave out others. Let's simply accept the fact that the bible was written in a different era, time, and social setting. We as a Christian Church need to focus on loving one another and sharing God's love and let God handle His business.

  31. It is time for us to get real people. The Lord has made His stance on this issure quite clear, in the Old and New Testaments. There is no getting around that. No matter what your struggles are, you cannot live in you sin and expect a slap on the wrist. You might struggle all of your life, but you must repent...meaning having a sincere and wholehearted desire a effort to deny yurself! Remember Jesus said you must deny yourself! Yes God hates sin, and it is not His wish that anyone should perish. But many will. But the scriptures say that the way of the rightous is narrow and only a few will find it. Please understand that you make HUGE idealogical mistake when you choose to separate the sinner from their sin. Ask yourself is it the sinner that will burn in hell for eternity, or is it their sin. In other words, will Jesus, to whom God the Father has reserved ALL judgement, pardon the homosexual and cast only the act of homosexuality itself in the lake of fire. GET REAL!!This is a rediculous notion. At the end the what we have got to realize is that this thing is spiritual. It has never been about us. Thats right. Its not about YOU, how you FEEL, what you want. This thing is about a living God. A God who is totally holy a just and can never ever deviate from those characteristics. A God who gave us everything and only asked that we obey Him and we sure screwed that up. They may not preach this in church anymore, but don't be deluded, YOU WILL GO TO HELL if you die without a repentant heart. And the reality of that is unimaginable. I am talking about feeling your flesh roasting for an eternity while being tormented by the demons that we are protected from now. Praise God for His grace and mercy, because He could have damned us all a long time ago, but instead He allowed His beloved son to be tortured and killed to atone for our wicked ways. The very least we believers can do accept this gift. A CHANCE at salvation and eternal life, not a guarentee.

  32. Homosexuality is condemned in the new testament several times. Read 1st and 2nd Corinthians and Romans particularly. Also, the notion that old testament teachings are somehow devoid of any value is completely misguided. The age grace is not constituted by a licensce to sin freely without abound (this from the mouth of Paul), but rather by the fact that the blood of Jesus atones for our sins, as opposed to ritualistic sracraficial pratices. Let me explain how this works. Because our Father is holy, sin must be dealt with, it must be atoned for or the sinner is damned. Thats what we fail to realize in today's church. Sin, even just one, is enough to damn one for eternity because we serve a just and perfect God. This is why the isrealites, for instance, had specific sacraficial requirements specific sinful behaviors. Some actions required heftier sacrifices than others. Which also debunks the idea that all sin is seen equally. I dont know why so many people seem to think this, when, biblically, this is clearly not true (other instances that validate this fact include 1.) the fact that certain, especially taboo behaviour is referred to as abomination, while others are not, 2.) the fact that it is made clear that dying in certain sins [lying, adultery, homosexuality, effeminism,] leads to certain damnation, 3.) and the concept of inpardonable sin [i.e. blasphomy against the Holy Spirit]-commit that bad boy and you got an automatic reservation in hell-). What is true, however, is that all sin eventually leads to death. But back to the former issue of dealing with sin. The age of grace does free us from the need for sacraficial practices because Jesus Himself was the ultimate sacrafice. Jesus always knew what His fate would be. This had to be a perfect sacrafice; a man who never committed one single, solitary sin. So for those who have chosen to believe that the concept of homosexuality be wrong is no longer a reality because of the Old Testament vs. New Testament argument, or that homosexualty is not expecially dispicable in the eyes of God, I dont know how to say this....but you would be wrong. The word of God is not some cosmic therapist to cling to when we want to feel better about ourselves and the lives we lead. God's word is available to us as a truth that cannot be denied. A tool against the lies that satan would have us believe. Just imagine yourself trying to explain to God why YOU dont see anything wrong with homosexuality, or why the church does not scream at the top of our lungs! Do see how foolish you would look. The black family is being torn apart at the seems by our immorality. And it matters, and we should have a hell of lot to say about it. If the church can't stand for what we say we believe (you know, Jesus, the bible etc...), then what in the world is the purpose of the church?

  35. Getting saved is not a blank check to continue in sin, and that goes for anybody. If you get saved and want to continue in sin, they why get saved. Heaven and hell are prepared places for prepared people. Life is a Dress Rehearsal for ETERNITY. Heaven and hell are REAL PLACES. And BOTH are ETERNAL.

  36. It is so sad how those of us in the church see gospel artist like this who are openly proud to be who they are and yet we continue to patronize their music, concerts and churches. No wonder the people in the LGBT communities are so confused. I truly believe many of them desire to be set-free from this addiction and sin. Where can they go. There are so many in the pulpits who are doing and living just like them. When they meet true HOLY men and women of God they are not certain if the godly are authentic. Now there will be some who have come out from among the homosexual life style yet they still display the characteristics of the life style with their gestures. As they become stronger in God their mannerisms will change. It is sad when reading some of these posts to learn Ricky Dillard did approach a man inappropriately. Hopefully this is not true, however if it is and he is making music for the church.....this is a MAJOR problem. It is unfortunate the how blind supernaturally many believers are. They do not understand our warfare is demonic. When the holiness churches continue to allow unclean people to sing and preach over God's precious children, it releases vile affection over all in the pathway of hearing their songs, sounds, sermons. DEMONS are released into the atmosphere. This is a strategic plan the devil uses to weaken the hearts and minds of believers. It is time for people to wake up now, stand strong and live a life God is pleased with and not their flesh. AMEN.

  38. All I can say is this ask your self why did god or the universe create man with a Prostrate gland that is so they can have same sex relationships. When a man goes inside another man his body part is rubbing up against the prostrate gland. It's in a perfect position in side of the mans ANUS. Look it up. Why do you think men love that part of their body to be played with? Even Straight men and Bi Sexual men have learned about the joys of having your prostrate gland played with. There is a MASSIVE REASON it is there inside the Butt. Also if you are going to use Old Testament scriptures on people then there are a whole lot of people going straight to hell. Because in the CHURCH TODAY bishops and pastors are living on the down low they are also stealing money from the church living like kings off the backs of the saints building mansions driving luxury cars eating the finest foods buying JETS YACHTS and living the dream luxury life while those people that are supporting the church a lot of them cannot pay their RENT or Car note sometimes they go without things including 3 meals a day for example they cut out luxuries because they BISHOP and/or pastors are begging more like TELLING folks they have to give more and more and more. IT's just a SCAM SCHEME to keep their LUXURY LIFE STYLES GOING. T D JAKES should be ashamed and LOOK WHAT HAPPENED to Bishop Eddie Long 25,000 members and that Man stood up and said HE IS GONNA FIGHT THIS THING CAUSE HE AIN"T WHAT THOSE YOUNG BOYS CLAIMED HE WAS and he said that he felt like DAVID and the GIANT and he hasn't even thrown his first stone yet. Then he is DEAD a year or two later SKINNY like AIDS/HIV but family claimed it was cancer. Look at all the proud Photos he was bragging on social media in the bathroom pics with his muscle sculpted body but was UGLY as SIN in the FACE all he had going for him was ZERO cause in the looks dept he looked UGLY as SIN. And those muscles did nothing for nobody but it got him into a whole lot of trouble. Bishop Eddie Long had several young men under age 18 and 18-21 as CALL BOYS. He was buying them CLOTHES CARS SUVS BMWS and SHACKING them up in CONDOS Buying those boys JEWELRY. But at a sad cost it all got him in the end. I think he died of AIDS /HIV. The family was so embarrassed and never believed the stories of the young men. HIS WIFE stood beside him as his children and CHURCH did and said NO WAY is HE GAY but in the end the truth PREVAILED he was a HOMO. As Gay as you can get. Not only did he lose his 25,000 member Church he LOST HIS LIFE. Sad story.

    1. very well said. The only contradiction to the word of God is people's perspective of God's word. Yet the same Bible tell us not to lay with our brother's wife, but yet Onan laid with his brother's wife and was struck
      dead because he ejaculated on the ground rather than in Tamar. However, later John the Baptist called king to repentance because took his brother's wife. One man was killed for not producing an heir with his brother's wife, while another was told he was living in sin. God's ways aren't ours. No one chooses being gay any more than we can choose our gender. It chooses us.

  39. Be careful of spreading rumors. The bible also speaks on that subject, what people need to do is pray for him and pray the rumor is not factual.
    We all have sinned and come short.....Judge not....
