In  Jay Bakker Dreaming yesterday here at Apprising Ministries we happened to mention that “pastor” Connie Waters, after having Bakker speak at her emerging  New Bridge Faith Community last week, thinks he’s a real scholar. Now it seems that “pastor” Waters decided to weigh in on the AM piece Gay Marriage: Backlash Against Anglican Leader Expected.

Therein, I gave the proper Biblical definition of marriage per Jesus Christ of Nazareth; Who as our Creator, would appear to be a pretty good source. And His disciple Matthew quotes Christ as telling us marriage is between a man and a woman:

“Haven’t you read,” He replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?” (Matthew 19:4-5, NASB)

The above is why I would then write that aforementioned piece concerning Jay Bakker. My point was to bring out the real reason why even a “scholar” like “gay affirming pastor” Bakker wouldn’t dare accept the offer of apologist Chris Rosebrough of Pirate Christian Radio to meet him in a public debate on homosexuality and gay marriage using the Bible. 

Now, by all means, one is certainly free to hold a different opinion concerning this issue of so-called gay marriage affecting GLBTQ people. However, as a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it’s part of my commission to then make sure those people know that it happens to be the actual Jesus of Holy Scripture with Whom they are having this disagreement.

The late defender of historic orthodox Christianity, Dr. Walter Martin, used to put it this way: “Your argument is with the Creator Himself; when you win that one, come back and argue with Walter.” Well, apparently “pastor” Waters has come up with a rather novel, and really quite ingenious, way of dealing with the above argument. 

Yep, merely erase me out of existence:

isn’t it interesting how “Ken Silva” can call others scared when he can’t even prove his own existence!! Maybe he lives at the North Pole! (Online source) 

Hmm, but at the same time, I’m not so sure that the above actually changes what God the Son—on behalf of God the Father—and as recorded by the eyewitness Matthew, under the infallible inspiration of God the Holy Spirit, has told us. No way around the text; clearly, God’s decree is that marriage is between a man (male) and a woman (female).

So you see, even if I don’t actually exist, it still has zero effect on the existence of the others whom I’ve, oops—something just cited above.
