DMP — “Please Lord, my son can be fat, just don’t let him like boys.” Could be the hook for a sg song.

On the list it goes! Right up there with fleas. Gluttony? Wow, there is a sermon the USA needs to hear! Please Lord, my son can be fat, just don’t let him like boys…

Why do we never hear sermons (or read comments here) against gluttony? Is that no longer a sin?

If that’s no longer a sin, I need to head over to the Golden Corral. Then pull the bus into Shoney’s for their breakfast buffet in the morning. And just roll me into the next smorgasbord down the road for lunch, before we start the cycle all over again.

Homosexuality isn’t specifically mentioned in the Ten Commandments, but it’s probably covered in “Thou shalt not commit aduletry.” Maybe that wasn’t an issue at that time, but needed mentioning later.

We humans have such ADD, perhaps God knew we wouldn’t sit still long enough for Moses to read “The 157 Commandments”. There are a LOT of extra things that needed specified in the Levitical Law. Or maybe folks said, “Hey, God didn’t say we couldn’t do this, so let’s try it. It looks like it’d feel good.” Not that people are evil enough to think like that, huh?

Let’s ask him about this when we get to his big house. Put it on the list.

What an odd conversation. I work with Christians very, very frequently, and often find they have these same religious based, vigorous anti-gay feelings. Odd thing is, if I ask them where in the Bible it speaks about homosexuality being a sin, they stop, think, and then tell me where they think it is, but they’ll check and let me know. No need for someone to google it and post it here, we’re all capable.
I think this has much more to do with people being homophobic that religious. Seriously, homosexuality didn’t even make the 10 commandments, yet we don’t ponder the legitimacy of ones faith when say people covet or tell a lie. Heck, most of the people I work with will openly admit that they would rather their son be a womanizer that a homosexual. Odd.
Accusing someone of being homosexual is about the most cowardly, McCarthyish style attack there is. It is unable to be proven or disproven, and it damages ones image. I for one could care less how Ernie or anyone else likes it, it really isn’t my place. What happened to all the things we learned in the Guy Penrod conversations about us “not owning an artists” and how they spend their time and money is none of our business? Seems that only applies when it doesn’t serve the purpose of feeding our ego driven faith. Love the sinner, and worry about your own sin.

Susan #82 — I wouldn’t exactly call Kirk’s statements as “coming out”. He admitted to some issues that had manifested themselves with homosexual BEHAVIOUR. I think there’s a difference.

And even though he’s never been considered “southern” gospel, check out Ray Boltz’ confessions on his website.

As for “other gays in the genre”, they may or may not have admitted the issue, but as Jesus said, by their fruits ye shall know them.

Susan,
I don’t think the commenter was saying people in the industry (singers) but was more talking about commenters on this site. We really don’t need to rehash all of that mess, do we?

#81.
I’m not asking you to name any names, but you mentioned that some of the people calling ernie gay have admitted that they are gay themselves? the only person that i’ve heard of in gospel music that has came out was kirk talley. so, has kirk said anything about ernie? if not, then i don’t know how you are aware of any other gays in the genre? suspect there are, yes, but know it, no.

Soldier… The reason the gays have said something about EH is … because they know who each other are and do not like it when some one is not OUT!! lol

I personally do not know a straight man who LIKES make up as much, especially one that is not ON TV like an news head.

I don’t know… but what I do know is I hope you do not have to deal with him as a talent where you are a promoter!!!

But there are a few NO doubt who are straight that are not much fun to deal with as talent too.

Old Harry Peters has dirty dealings with EH on more than 2 occasions and has The Scares to Prove it!!! lol

Steve, well-said. It’s one thing not to like EHSS (I don’t), but it’s another thing to call them gay when there has been no evidence (that would hold up in court) that any of them are.

…and it’s ironic that at least some of the people calling him gay have openly admitted that they’re gay themselves.

I don’t think it’s anyone’s place to say Ernie’s gay or to call him princess. I mean, I personally don’t care for his stage presence or how he dresses but that’s just not for me. I’ve got to give props where props are do…and Ernie and the guys know how to market themselves and put nothing less then the best product. I enjoy listening to them but when it comes to watching them…not for me.

Lisa… I think everybody on here loved George & Glen. That does not mean they automatically like other members of the group.

Stay calm. you will put it all together and maybe best explored in another media to catch ya up!!!

Haha… BGQ video on youtube is quite hilarious.

quartet-man, in answer to your comment, #53, I would venture to say that they weren’t in the competitive mode during that recording.

I would most certainly hope that the Oaks could do it better than, what is obviously, a comedy routine.

ok ok —
Point made.

I just know when I repented of stuff—I was in a pretty bad case, so when He cleaned me up, He left a few reminders of why I can’t afford to be judgmental.

I’ll tell you the OTHER reason it bugs me.
Since EH is married to George Younce’s daughter, (and I was a HUGE Catherdrals fan)….put the pieces together yourself.
And you can count on something else: if I think someone is being disrespectful to someone I call a friend, I’ll defend the friend, too—to the fullest extent of my ability. (something I keep tied behind my back when I post on blogs.)
