Homosexuality, What she said

Gospel Singer Kim Burrell Warns More Gays Will Die in 2017

The ReadyWriter

kim-burrell-550x399Pastor and gospel singer Kim Burrell is still catching backlash over her fiery sermon condemning gays for spreading HIV/AIDS in the church. In a video uploaded to Youtube.com, Burrell warned gays will die in 2017.

In the video, Burrell, 44, is heard saying, “Anyone filled with the homosexual spirit, beg God to free you. That perverted homosexual spirit and the spirit of delusion and confusion, it has deceived many men and women.”

Burrell, who is pastor and founder of Houston’s Love & Liberty Fellowship church in Houston, continued:

“You as a man, you open your mouth and take a man’s penis in your face, you are perverted! You are a woman and will shake your face in another woman’s breasts, you are perverted!”

She then targeted Bishop Eddie Long as an “embarrassment to the church”. The 63-year-old prosperity preacher based in Atlanta is rumored to be infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

“I’ve never seen anything as heartbreaking as Bishop Eddie Long go down to nothing,” Burrell remarked about recent photos of Long’s skeletal appearance.

Burrell’s fire and brimstone sermon implied that homosexuals in the church community are spreading HIV through unprotected sex.

34 years after the AIDS virus first scorched the earth, men who have sex with men (MSM) still lead the nation in new HIV contraction rates.

The HIV epidemic continues unabated in cities like NY, D.C. and Atlanta, where men forego condoms and take a drug known as PrEP to prevent HIV infection. But there are indications that the drug isn’t as effective due to new strains of the HIV virus.

A new campaign has been launched to convince black women to take PrEP. Black women are the 2nd group most likely to contract HIV from men who have sex with men.

Burrell was already backtracking from her controversial statements on Facebook Live. She said her warning of a deadlier HIV epidemic was taken out of context:

We’re not in a war against flesh and blood. I came on because I care about God’s creation and every person from the LGBT and anything else, any other kind of thing that is supporting gay. I never said LGBT last night. I said S.I.N. and whatever falls in the sin was preached.

“What I posted was not all I preached to. Isn’t that something? That is a design of the enemy to make it look like I have a personal agenda against [gay] people. To the carnal all things are carnal, and to the spiritual all things are spiritual.”

Burrell is scheduled to appear on the Ellen Degeneres’s daytime talk show on January 5th. And we all know Ellen is openly gay.

FAKE is the role, when all that “glitters” sure ain’t gold! Tonight on Conversations Of A Sistah!

Just because something looks attractive does not mean it is genuine or valuable. That’s why you NEVER go by the appearance of anything. Most of the time what you see is not the reality, the outside appearance generally hides all the truth behind what’s real.

Any individual can be judged by his deeds and attitude, when many times, aptitude or fearlessness is found to be a fake one.

In today’s society, everybody appears to be a Christian, quoting scripture and claiming “what thus saith the Lord” when God is far from them. They wear big rings and huge crosses with the shiny bling, when the core of their being is FAKE. God knows the heart! 

One has to understand that all those metals that are shiny and yellow in color need not be gold, they might be painted yellow or just any other yellow metal. So one have be aware of the appearance and judge everything. So it is better to keep in mind “All that glitters is not gold”.

The man, his Arrogance and his Ego…Tonight on Conversations Of A Sistah

The ReadyWriter

man_and_his_ego

Men are sensitive beings who require just as much validation and attention as women. They are just as emotional as women but show their emotions differently than woman. So the first step in understanding the male ego is knowing it can be wounded and become frail at any time. Sometimes in order to appease the male and his ego you have to avoid damaging comments that delve into his masculinity or the ability to provide for his family. These damaging comments may include; insults to his profession, his performance in the bedroom, undercut his leadership skills or offend his qualifications.

At the same time you shouldn’t walk on eggshells in order to avoid the sensitivity of the male ego either. The biggest blow to a man’s ego is rejection, some men don’t know how to handle, embrace or deal with being rejected. And God forbid his arrogance is coupled in with this rejection, these are dangerous twins that can destroy the man’s self-esteem.

Join me Wednesday April 17, 2013 at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” on “Conversations Live” as I talk about this topic from a Biblical perspective.

Woman preaching with her breast exposed

The ReadyWriter

My business administrator saw this video posted on my Facebook page yesterday and forwarded it to me for my opinion and response.

First of all, the woman in the video is being called a preacher but her title can’t be officially established, anyone can preach the Word of God and the devil knows scripture better than the best preachers. The Bible says to “try the Spirit and know whether it be of God” 1 John: 4:1.

In order to deliver anyone lost, you must first speak the Word of truth and she is indeed speaking truth, watered down with a bunch of Amen’s however, her breast are inappropriately exposed. The Bible states; for women to dress modestly that means, in a proper, well-mannered fashion—certainly not in a provocative, outlandish or excessive way. This woman in the video is clearly out-of-place, which probably explains why she’s sitting in somebody’s kitchen and not standing in the platform of a church or institution.

She calls her ministry, “the gospel from a stripper’s pole”

Her message is: “A Forked Tongue” deliver me from these back door preachers!

Pastor Jamal Bryant rebukes EBONY for accusing him of impregnating a minor

Pastor Jamal Bryant (pictured above) wrote an open letter to EBONY magazine, rebuking them for accusing him of impregnating a teenage member of his congregation.

Bryant, a single father of 3 beautiful daughters, admitted that he cheated on his wife in an open letter to EBONY titled “Pastor Jamal Bryant Rebukes EBONY”.

“In 2007 I participated in an extramarital affair that resulted ultimately in the termination of my marriage to my incredible wife Gizelle,” he wrote. “NO minors were involved but my minor children have been affected.” Not what is known and what’s rumored; the word swirling on the religious roster in Baltimore is, Pastor Bryant indeed impregnated a woman in his congregation maybe not a minor at the time but a young parishioner in his church.

Bryant went on to call the accusation that he slept with a minor, “categorically and completely untrue.”

Pastor Bryant writes:

For 67 years Ebony Magazine has been the drum beat for culture in the African-American community. John Johnson its beloved founder dedicated his life to safe guarding our image with great integrity.

The March 2013 edition has left a hole in my heart. On page 124 they published that it’s alleged I impregnated a 17-year-old member of my church. This accusation is categorically and completely untrue. To publish this with absolutely no source lends itself to reckless endangerment to my children, my congregation and my community.

Ebony is not the National Enquirer. A higher standard is required and the statement jeopardizes my ministry to the youth in my church and community. So it is on moral grounds that a retraction is necessary.

In 2007 I participated in an extramarital affair that resulted ultimately in the termination of my marriage to my incredible wife Gizelle. NO minors were involved but my minor children have been affected. I don’t want them to have to live through any further unnecessary pain.

Matthew 18:15 say’s if your brother has sinned against you go and tell him his fault. I solicit your continued prayers for my family, forgiveness for myself and accountability from Ebony magazine.

Flawed but faithful. I remain,

Jamal- Harrison Bryant (A Father and Pastor)
