Blatant Homophobic Propaganda. "We do it with the drug addict! We do it with the alcoholic!" This is your definition of compassion? To associate sexual orientation with substance abuse? It's one thing to espouse ignorant viewpoints, it is another to imply a community that has and will continue to exist throughout history some how needs to be"cured" and to disguise arrogance as "compassion." To those poor, tortured men reading and commenting on this piece: I am a 23 year old, well adjusted, happy senior at a major university. I have many friends of various genders, races, and sexualities and am completely open AND PROUD to be a gay man. However, my sexuality does not define me and there are many, many wonderful people out there who wont define you by it either. Your family and friends will accept you, they have to, and they will get over it. There is nothing wrong with you. You don't need to struggle. Be you. That is all anyone can ask. For the rest of the readers. I'm sure you're all very sweet compassionate loving Christians, but don't believe everything that is wrapped up in a pretty package for you. The uniquely American war on homosexuality is a coordinated effort designed to find a scapegoat for the break up of the traditional nuclear family brought about by modernity. They only turned to the gays after it became unacceptable to blame colored people. Donnie McClurkin is just a confused, self hating pawn in their game.

Chase, you are also a gossiper, because one of the gay community members started the "cured" propaganda. Christians don't use the word cured, so who are you quoting, one your community members or did you actually hear someone say that?

Jesus Christ is a healer. So get it right and don't try to start a new lie on that because then you will then have to quote me, so get it straight.

Chase-
Hello my brother,
I see you have been creating a stir among The Pastor's Fans. But you know what- I choose to be a Jesus fan all the way. I am more attracted to real people who can pour out their ill emotions, because it's really another way of saying, "I neeeeeed HELP!"
Although I still have some work to do in certain departments re. my character, you remind me of me.
Anything I felt in my crushed heart, that what came out of my mouth; and the christians whom I met - surely was not trained to deal with me . I thought to myself , " Find me a firend of Jesus who can first not judge me, then who can help me to heal! We all visit that place where someone more holy will not understand our issues
If you want Jesus, He will never tell you,"Well boy- hope to see you in heaven." The Bible has taught me that many have learnt nothing about the kind of people The Lord chooses for some top assignments.

My job(now) in my Father's kingdom is to believe my Jesus for those closest to hell. You can make it if you really want to. Saul persucuted many christians, and still God used him.

RELAX- God is in Control!
AND Stop attacking who has already made it in!
I know Jesus will use you. I love you!

God bless you Chase,
Hi, I read your comment and just wanted to reply. Please when you get a moment do read Romans 1:24-32. I pray that you start with an open heart.
We all have come short so I'm not picking at you I just want us all to get as much of God(truth) as we can. Love you and hope to see you in heaven.

Sincerely,
Sis Lonnice Prayer

When I read your comment, I see that you are really just being honest about how you feel. And when I read the replies - I recognize I am guilty of defending men and women of God who I dearly love the point we forget that we are suppose to love one another. The Holy Bible says- what reward is there when we love those who are easy to love? from a woman who really loves Jesus - I love you ! Jesus did not come for those who are whole, but for sick people like you and me. However in wanting to be whole in the eyes of our Master - Jesus Christ, we must aviod persons who remind us of Old ways, and habits. The lord is In Control, and He knows the role each of us must play. Desire to be FREE in The Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

CHASE....It is with sympathy I am responding to your comments about this anointed and appointed man of God....Obviously you are a confused young man.Pastor McClurkin knows who he is in Christ.Let me tell you he is definately one sent from God for such a time of this.All Pastor is doing and saying is what God has called him to do.
My advise to you is to listen to what Pastor McClurkin is saying and repent before it is too late.

God is coming soon...Get bible and read it .

Hi Chase,

Attacking Donnie like this wont get you anywhere,he's just doing what he's called to do........to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.I agree with you that your sexuality doesn't define you,what really defines you is who you are in Christ Jesus & for you to find out who you really are,you must ask Jesus to reveal Himself to you.I know that you probably hate all the preachers & pastors but i challenge you to approach the one who sent them to preach the gospel in the first place..........Jesus Christ Himself.God doesn't hate you,He hates what you do.Now i challenge you to call His name 'Jesus' & ask Him to come into your heart, give Him a chance & see what happens.Chase, God loves you so much that He wants to have fellowship with you & it hurts Him when you reject Him like this because He made you in His own image.You don't have to be perfect,no one is perfect,it is the Christ in us who is perfect.Maybe you are reading this for the last time,but i pray that you will not harden your heart.Jesus is standing & knocking on the door of your heart & waiting for you to let Him in.Go on.......give Him your life.

It humbles me to see how Donnie adores God. He trully is an inspiration to us all. I attended his show on the 9th of August this year and I could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit. I will definitely attend it again if he comes back. May God always strengthen him to touch more lives & to conquer all the battles he faces in life.

Pastor Donnie, God does not make mistakes when he chose you he did it because He knew you could be equiped by him with the necessary gifts to meet other peoples need. I am bless through the music you sing first to praise God and then for nations to know about Him, you are admirable, hope one day you will be able to come to my little twon in Costa Rica called Limon, where men that really love and serve God is needed to be seing. Keep holding on keep standing in His unfailing GRACE.

GOD is GOOD

This homosexuality issue has been a great problem for teenager at my school. Eventhough they struggle accepting that homosexuality is wrong, it only takes the special grace of GOD to send a Man like Donnie to stand and confest that it's wrong and we Christains need to stand in the gap and pray for the demon to get behind the children of GOD. WE CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS.

We need 2 keep on praying 4 the servant OF GOD (DONNIE) and encourage him to carray on being faithfull towards GOD and HE WOULD BE REWARDED.

Lots of Love Habeta

Pastor Mcclurkin

Whether you're a gospel artist or pastor it makes no difference to me, because God can use you mightly in any area He so chooses. You've always been a BIG BLESSING to the Kingdom of God. He who called you is Faithful... And remember "Its all about JESUS and His Name being Glorified".

Pastor Donnie ! you are my Hero. You stand for truth always. Don't give up. The world will find hard to believe you because of the sinful nature. I fully understand and agree that people can be delivered when they make the decision. One thing I know is that, all Heros have stories to tell to encourage others not only in the church situation.Thank you for coming to stage concert and sharing the word in South Africa. By the way I was in S.A at the time.
