Pastor Steven Anderson Defends His Anti-Homosexual Beliefs

I felt called into the ministry at a very young age. I have a disability and I wondered many times why God would call me into a traveling ministry. But all those years He was my strength when I didn't even know if I could stand. I have never given my testimony here. As I was in ministry I lost my aunt, my mothers sister, at the age of 43 to cancer. She was like a second mother and prayed me through so many hard times. Her loss was personally hard but she left behind a teen son and daughter that we had to help through the grief while still traveling. My grandmother on my fathers side took a brain tumor and we lost her, a wonderful woman of faith. My grandmother on my mothers side took cancer and her sister, again wonderful women of God. They passed only a few months from each other. Then after all of this, my cousin lost her husband. Her husband and their son went hunting together, as they often did, and for some reason her husband decided he had forgotten something and turned back, stepping right in front of his sons shot. He was killed instantly. All this happened within years of each other.

I could honestly write a book on all that happened. And old song says "When I Can't Stand, I have to Lean". Only God, no other way. As I look back over my life I see the Footprints poem. He carried us through so many times. A friend would call, someone would send a letter, a song or sermon would just lift us up and help us go another mile. As hard as it was at times, I would never change all the wonderful people we met, the fellowship and lifelong friendships we made. I still pray for the churches and people of all the places we went. I pray that God continues to bless them and work in their lives. I thank God for the opportunity I had to take the Gospel to as many doors as He opened. God's mercy is so deep and wide. Jesus still saves, from the guttermost to the uttermost!! PTL

There Rose A Lamb was not banned on her last account, which she asked to have deleted for personal reasons related to grief after a sudden unexpected death in the family. Making unfounded accusations as you have here is very likely against the site rules... creating a new account after becoming a "guest" most assuredly is not.

Gentlemen.
Might I suggest
taking a breath.
We all get a bit too passionate at times, but you're getting close to crossing a line with the personal attacks.

It's not good to call others that claim to be Christion unsaved, and certainly not hinting in league with the enemy.

Sounds like a nut-job for sure. If he is married, I pity his wife. Thanks for the heads up.

You forgot his railing accusation of:
"murder(ous.)" And
"execute some homosexuals with your boy, Anderson."

Between that and therrosealamb previously banned and on her second account here. Why am I not surprised?

God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked

I enjoyed your testimony on the loss of loved ones very much and can relate to that in certain events in my own life. I like the Footprints prose too. Very touching.

Btw, seeing how Anderson loves to quote Leviticus 20:13 as his proof text or justification for his hatred against homosexuals and his desire to see them executed, has anybody even bothered to read the verses which immediately precede it?

Leviticus 20:9-13

"For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him. And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them. If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

Using Anderson's logic, should a righteous government be similarly executing children who have cursed their father or mother?

If so, then there would probably be a lot of childless people right here on this forum, and multitudes more across the globe. Worse still, some of us might not even be alive because some of us have probably been guilty of this very thing in our pasts.

What about adulterers?

Would Anderson have them executed as well?

Oh, wait. A bunch of self-righteous hypocrites tried to pull that stunt in front of Jesus, and they all had to drop their stones, didn't they, after Jesus told them that the one without sin should cast the first stone? Jesus also told that adulterous woman (the man was conveniently missing) to "Go, and sin no more." Not Anderson. Let God kill them all quickly. Right, Stevie boy?

How about the man who lies with his father's wife?

Would Anderson have him executed?

Oh, wait. That is what that guy in the church at Corinth did, and he was thrown out of the church until he repented, and then he was welcomed back with open arms.

Anderson is nuts, and so are his misguided followers.

Many of these are abolished under the carnal ordinances clause.
I agree with the Bible because the law of the Lord is perfect. I have no expectations that the state of US governments will ever readopt them. Many of these used to be considered crimes. They were on the books.

I have learned to cherish every moment. We make everything a celebration, from Thanksgiving to birthdays to father and mothers day. We do little things to show our appreciation to family and friends. My mother has always loved cards, and I use to try and get her to get rid of old ones. But when so many loved ones passed away so close together, one day I went through those old cards and I realized they were something to cherish.

Obviously, the cards hold a great sentimenatal value and well worth keeping for the memories that they bring.
