"We Just Love God; We Just Love People"

I thought this was a very interesting special done by CNN. You do not often see religious leaders changing their viewpoints so drastically regarding many issues, especially when it comes to homosexuality and the church. I admire this man and only wish that other Christians would see the issue as he does (and as I do), with an open mind and an open heart. It just makes sense to me: "Why do you have to judge a person based on a label or a title by which you have attached to them?" Sin is sin and God sees it as all the same.

It's a very controversial issue with views differing from denomination to denomination, and individiual to individual, but in the end Bishop Carlton Pearson makes the point that I only wish all believers could understand: "Do you ever see anywhere in Scripture where Jesus rejected anybody...period?" No, you sure do not!!
