Arkansas pastor says Caitlyn Jenner is defying God, but Josh Duggar can be forgiven


The conservative pastor who claimed God can forgive Josh Duggar amid his molestation scandal says Caitlyn Jenner is defying the way God made her during a fire-and-brimstone Sunday Sermon.

Ronnie Floyd, the Duggar family’s pastor who heads the Pinnacle Cross Church in Arkansas, said Jenner is a sinner and should no longer be considered an American hero.

God made two genders, and “there’s no fluidity to that,” he said.

But hours after the scathing sermon, he told People that Josh Duggar, who is accused of molesting at least five underage girls when he was a teenager, can be forgiven for his wrongdoing.

He says he did, at any rate, and it may even be true. The way I was taught is that repentance is all it takes for a Christian to be forgiven by God for any heinous act. As far as God is concerned, it is as if it never happened.

His reasoning is biblical. It's just that he and the bible are completely wrong and fucked up about that (among other things).

he didn't think he should speak up about sexually abusing little kids? Odd thing to space out about.

I mean did god overlook that phenomenon when he/she/it created mammals?

Or did he/she/it create gays just to get on their goats during their lifetimes?

Is god a sadist? a fumbler? A practical joker? So many questions..

type sermons don't interest me. I stay away from them.

Obviously this guy is a hypocrite.

As for me, Hopefully Caitlyn Jenner will be a better parent than she was when she was Bruce. But her previous negligence of her children is far lesser than the Duggar's negligence. They knew their son molested their daughters and did little about it. There is a much greater evil festering in that family. Hopefully Caitlyn will be a fully fulfilled person now and be a good parent for her children and a good overall role model.

Obviously i think that pastor stinks.

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]But apparently telling people that, even if they are saying god is going to condemn all transgender people and liberals to hell, will get you a hide now.

Can't hurt RW trolls feelings now can we?

Oh well. It was worth the hide then and it is worth it now. I will always stand w/ the LBGTQ community against this shit.

He and his bigot of a god can both fuck off.
