"Hating in the name of jesus" - true, there is no way of justification but somehow it seems to have been popular throughout all ages. the entire crusades were done in the name of god right?
I think though if god, or jesus or whoever came down - given that he dines with sinners as said in your articles, maybe he would dine with the priest before the homosexuals or goths or whoever else the church is prosecuting against because they are not doing anything wrong, i've never seen anyone storm into the church and try to turn everyone into satanists or anything.
its kind of hard to say because i can't really judge what is wrong or right outside of myself. i can say christianity is wrong for me but it is indeed right for that preacher and the congregation.
really he should be able to preach whatever he wants without getting bothered for it. the people in the church choose to listen and if they don't like it they don't have to listen. neither do any of us - as long as outsiders don't go arguing with him maybe he won't impose any "morals" upon them.
even without agreeing with him it would be simple to get along but apparantly his face was very red so i suppose he was quite mad. i kind of agree with him in the sense that he should be able to preach what he wants and not get rattled for it but he prolly could have handelled the situation better and not yelled at you guys or anything, and at least be able to back up his opinion. maybe it would be easier if there were not so many interpretations of the bible, some people think that a certain passage will mean one thing while another person might think the same passage says something totally different. christians can't even agree between themselves on some things, like god for instance, some believe he is male completely and will not even begin to think about maybe he is female as well, some think that he is both and some people think only female. it seems like a very ambiguous religion though it has so many codes.
of usurping authority the bible is man speaking for god. all preaching is man speaking on god's behalf. i think it would be alright if all preachers were very in tune with god but like you were saying he begins to see it as HIS church and maybe forgets about god a bit.
