Mega Church pastor, T.D. Jakes, has reach out of the closet, so to speak.
During an interview with Huffington Share, a liberal publication that has promoted positions and values that are often very anti-Christian, Jakes said that homosexuals should attend congregations that affirm their lifestyles and that politics complete not need to demonstrate biblical ethics, adding that his position on homosexuality is both “evolved and evolving.”
Jakes is yet another prominent figure in the world of televangelism and Christian entertainment who has caved to cultural pressure. Denying the explicit pronouncement of the Word of God on the matter of homosexuality, which calls it an “abomination” (Leviticus 18:22), Jakes seems to now believe that we should set that aside and find churches that fit what we elect to believe and rehearse. Asked whether or not the black church and LGBT community can co-exist, Jakes said, “Absolutely… I contemplate it is going to be diverse from church to church. Every church has
T. D. Jakes Keeps Preaching Revival After Shooting Down Rumors
On the stage of First Baptist Church of Glenarden International, Bishop T. D. Jakes didn’t pay much time preaching from the lectern at center stage of the megachurch.
Instead, the televangelist walked endorse and forth in his dark suit and striped tie, switching a handheld microphone from his left to his right hand, sometimes facing the predominantly Black congregation of thousands gathered for an annual revival at the kickoff of the year, other times turned toward the clergy and the choir members sitting on the large stage.
“The Holy Liveliness sent me all the way to the DMV to tell you this is your year to pivot,” the Dallas-based Pentecostal minister said to cheers and applause from the Washington, DC-area crowd, many on their feet on January 5. “You hold to surround yourself with people who can pivot because they’re following who you used to be. Now they’ve got to follow who you hold become.”

Bishop T.D. Jakes On The Black Church’s Shifting Stance On Homosexuality
Special to the NNPA from the Houston Forward Times
Bishop T.D. Jakes thinks it is “absolutely” possible for the LGBT and Black communities to coexist.
Jakes, who joined HuffPost Live on Monday, opened up to host Marc Lamont-Hill about his thoughts on the relationship between these communities.
“I think that it’s going to diverse from church to church every church has a different opinion on the issue and every queer person is different,” Jakes said.
While Jakes believes churches are allowed to exercise and preach values common by their respective leaders, he also advocates that LGBT people attend a church that aligns with their own beliefs and values. And although he admits that his individual stance on homosexuality is both “evolved and evolving,” he says all LGBT people should be treated with tolerance and respect.
“LGBT’s of different types and sorts have to discover a place of worship that reflects what your views are and what you believe like anyone else,” he said. “And the church should include its own convictions and values.”
Jakes also reaffirmed that members of the LGBT community, like all Ame
Bishop T.D. Jakes, pastor of the Potter’s House megachurch in Dallas, has again decided to use his position as one of the most influential African-American pastors in the nation to publicly bash lgbtq+ people. Jakes appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s new converse show, Oprah’s Next Chapter, on Sunday and declared that he believes homosexuality is “condemned by the scriptures.”
Here’s a transcript of the exchange:
Oprah: “Would you say that everybody is embraced in your church?”
Jakes: “Oh, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely.”
Oprah: “Because you know that you’ve been accused of saying that gay people would not be welcome.”
Jakes: “Oh, no, no, no. That’s not genuine at all.”
Oprah: “That’s not true?”
Jakes: “Well, the perception in our society today is that if you don’t tell you’re for same-sex marriage or if you tell that homosexuality is a sin that you’re homophobic and you’re against male lover people. That’s not authentic. I’m not called to give my opinion. I’m called as a pastor to give the scriptural position on it. It doesn’t mean I hold to agree with you to love you. I don’t dislike anybody. I love everybody.”
Oprah: “But does it mean you perceive bein
