Prominent pastor/radio host offers chilling advice to parents with adult kids who are gay

One of the few prominent evangelical/fundamentalist pastors who has largely stayed out of political hankering has dipped his toe into those waters--and in one of the ugliest ways possible. John MacArthur pastors Grace Community Church in the San Fernando Valley and hosts the daily radio show "Grace to You." He has a sterling reputation in the evangelical community, and his show has been a ratings juggernaut on Christian radio for decades.

Last week, MacArthur got a letter from a listener who wanted to know what to do after one of her kids came out as gay. MacArthur's advice? Unless that child "repents," he or she should be completely disowned and isolated.

Mark 12:30-31 "30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

Luke 10:27 "27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Matthew 22:37-39 37Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

Because there is no better way to love your neighbor, then to disown or isolate them!!!

Because their God wants your child to be homeless, disowned or commit suicide for being gay.
