Gospel Artist Erica Campbell On Transexuals & Gays In the Church: Sin is sin & God forgives. [VIDEO]
The controversial topic of gays, bi-sexuals and transexuals in the church doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Just last week, gospel artist Kirk Franklin apologized to the gay community, on behalf of the church, saying he feels like oftentimes they were negatively judged. And now gospel artist Erica Campbell is addressing the issue. In a recent press conference, she was asked by Team Curtains how she felt about transsexuals and gays within gospel and the church. To this she responded:
I believe sin is sin and it exists and God forgives it just like everything else. I think our responsibility is to keep singing about Jesus. Keep telling the world he loves, saves, transforms and heals. I know there’s a lot of different conversations about the origins and the why’s and the how’s and I wish I had the answers to it, but I do not. But what I do know is that the Bible says that God so loved the world — it didn’t say the heterosexual or the homosexual; it didn’t say the Christian, the saved or the unsaved. It said for God so loved the world that he gave his only son, that whosoever should believe in him, should not parish but have everlasting life. So that’s the only thing I can stay confident in. I rest on the word of God. I stand on the word of God. And we will all stand before him. And God won’t ask me my opinion. He won’t ask the people their opinion. We’ll have a one-on-one with the father.
