Today head outlaw and punk “pastor” Jay Bakker opines for his fellow outlaw preachers the following:

It’s hard not to be upset at Ministers who are ignorant or just plane lying about our message. I pray for them every day #outlawpreachers (Online source)

and hope they will stop talking or we’d stop listening or reading them. There falls accusations aren’t doing anyone good… #outlawpreachers (Online source)

I don’t believe arguing with this guys is going to be fruitful for any one or at least me, All I can do is pray and hope. #outlawpreachers (Online source)

It is as Dr. John MacArthur has said:

I think that it is so important to know this. In a time like this of tolerance, listen, false teaching will always cry intolerance. It will always say you are being divisive, you are being unloving, you are being ungracious, because it can only survive when it doesn’t get scrutinized. So it cries against any intolerance. It cries against any examination, any scrutiny—just let’s embrace each other; let’s love each other; let’s put all that behind us.

False doctrine cries the loudest about unity. Listen carefully when you hear the cry for unity, because it may be the cover of false doctrine encroaching. If ever we should follow 1 Thessalonians 5, and examine everything carefully, it’s when somebody is crying unity, love, and acceptance. (Online source)

As one of the “ignorant” ministers Bakker’s trying not to get “upset at” I’d be fascinated to hear what I’m “lying about.” Now unless his god with a man-shaped hole in its heart is able to cut my already critcally low finances even more then Bakker can rest assured I’m not going to stop defending the faith per Jude 3.

But of course he doesn’t want to argue with “guys” like myself or Chris Rosebrough; his case can’t be made from the Bible. You see, it’s one thing to level a charge of false “accusations” at a pastor-teacher, which I am; however, it’s quite another entirely to actually have to prove your own accusations true.

That Bakker affirms gay marriage is as simple to prove as today’s Sunday Sermon: The Silence of Your Friends from GayAgenda.com. And to prove my “accusation” Bakker affirms that a lifestyle of the unrepentant practice of homosexuality is a viable one for the Christian is as simple as this ABC News piece where Bakker says:

“The more I follow grace, the more I’m drawn to him [God], the more I’m willing to stand up for people being persecuted,” said Bakker. “It sounds so churchy, but I felt like God spoke to my heart and said ‘[homosexuality] is not a sin.’ ” (Online source, emphasis mine)

The real problem for Jay Bakker is that he’d really like to be able to marginalize me as some angry fundamentalist type ala Fred Phelps; but he can’t, because 1) I’m not angry at him, and 2) having much experience with GLBTQ people, for whom Christ died, I’m really not a “hater.”

In fact, Bakker need only ask his friend Khad Young, with whom I spoken a couple of times now. So we’ll leave it at this; I told Khad that my friend Chris Rosebrough offered to have Jay Bakker on his Pirate Christian Radio (PCR) program. I also explained that it was most certainly not to chew Bakker up, or to even argue with him.

And as far as I know, the offer still stands. If Jay Bakker wants to clear up misconceptions concerning his affirmation of homosexuality and make those who listen to PCR and/or read Apprising Ministries more aware of his teachings on grace, then all he needs to do is simply to contact Rosebrough.

It’s all just as simple as that.
