The following was emailed to me. I thought these comments were good and worth posting so I asked him if I could do so. He said that it was fine so here it is.

The best thing he said was during the question time, that
"The opposite of homexuality isn't being "straight" - The opposite is
holiness."

Some things he said definitely need clarificiation. Indeed, they sounded
terrible. How does he answer someone that says they tried it (leaving that lifestyle) and it didn't work?
I'm not saying this will work for everyone. A.A. doesn't work for everyone.
(that's a pretty close paraphrase.)
You have a right to live this way- God doesn't demand you live a certain
way. (true he gives us free will, but DOES demand )

He stumbled around with the question about who told him he should be ashamed of homosexuality. When I said from the back, "All sin is shameful" He heartily agreed and told me to come on down here. However he basically said all sin was the same. Now granted, a liar will go to hell just like a murderer. BUT
the Bible makes many distinctions in sin. There are 6 things the Lord hates, yea 7 are an abomination unto him" 1Cor 6:9 has another list, there IS a sin that leads unto death, I do not say that you should pray for it. He that did things that were worthy of many stripes... he who joins himself to a harlot has sinned against his own body, all other sins are outside the body. The law prescribed varying degrees of punishment up to and including death.

I wonder if he considers a liar as equal to the guy molesting him? Both
will condemn a man, but both are not equal.

I am glad he was there and I think I understand his method, but it seems a
little compromised/pragmatic to me. Indeed even humanistic. He didn't get out because it was offensive to a holy God, but rather because he "didn't find what he was looking for in it. God could certainly use his testimony nevertheless, and I did go down front to shake his hand and thank him for coming. Also to give him my question which I tried to give him, but he told me to give it to a woman standing with him, he may not have even seen it or maybe didn't have time to get to it or ??? I asked him to clarify a point and said that he certainly had to agree that anyone who came to Jesus in faith would be delivered.
