Clifford Goldstein steers Grace Place Gay Agenda

THE NEW GAY THEOLOGY

"Jesus is encouraging us to have a different kind of love than might be normal and natural" (Clay Peck, Separation of Church and Hate Sermon, Grace Place, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYtfiKO3pbc, minute 31):

"I’m sure Jesus looks approvingly on ‘loving, monoganamous, and committed’ homosexual sodomy". (Clifford Goldstein, see screenshot below)

CLAY IS THE LEAD PASTOR

"Clay Peck, lead pastor of Grace Place, recently issued a public apology in his sermon to the LGBT community. He denounced Christians who have spread hate and haven't shown love to LGBT people who come to church." https://www.charismanews.com/video/70874-pastor-repents-to-lgbt-community-welcomes-them-to-his-church

SHOWING LOVE TO YOUNG GAY MEN / PRACTICES WHAT HE PREACHES

"I loved Leaves of Grass" (Clifford Goldstein, It is so, Adventist Review, 16 Jan 2014), "which celebrates the soul through the trope of fellatio: ‘Loafe with me on the grass, loose the stop from your throat, / … Only the lull I like, the hum of your valved voice’. Leaves of Grass, the title Whitman gave his collected poems, pivots upon this dalliance with a young man in the grass." (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, and Allied Resource Office, Walt Whitman, University of Illinois Springfield, http://www.uis.edu/lgbtqa/WaltWhitman/)

LEADING LIGHT IN THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH

"Clifford Goldstein is an author and leading figure in the Seventh-day Adventist denomination." https://www.llbn.tv/post/cliff-goldstein-biography

HIS COLLEAGUE MIKE RYAN IS SINGING OFF THE SAME SHEET OF MUSIC

In the 1970s, long-time General Conference Vice President Dr. Mike Ryan taught at a seminary in Asia which educated young men in this school of love.  (as shown at right from Coral Cadence, 1977)

NOT SURPRISINGLY, CLAY PECK GRADUATED FROM EXTREMELY LIBERAL SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST SEMINARIES

"Clay Peck is a pastor who strives to communicate the "unchanging gospel of God's grace" in relevant and innovative ways. He holds a bachelor of arts in theology from Union College in Lincoln, Nebraska; a master of divinity from Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan; and a doctor of ministry from Denver Theological Seminary." https://graceplaceclaypeck.weebly.com/

Or, as the college puts it, "A Seventh-day Adventist college in Lincoln, Nebraska, Union has empowered students".  https://ucollege.edu/ (see empowerment illustrated in graphic at left)

CLAY'S EMPOWERMENT

"Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat". (Colossians 2:15 NIV, Holy Bible)(see sermon slide presentation from Grace Place at right)

This verse has been around for a long time.  And for a long time, gay men have been eating things that straight men don't.

RELIGIOUS INNOVATOR

But Clay was the first to apply this text to gayness.  Following his use of scripture, the first thing Christians need to do is to stop judging gays.

SOMETHING HE LEARNED WHILE AT ANDREWS UNIVERSITY

"My wife has a cousin who is gay, and then I have other friends and former classmates who are gay." "We should protect the rights of homosexual persons in the United States. Very strongly."
(Roy Gane, Professor, Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, Andrews University,Tuesday Choice: The Old Testament and Homosexuality, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6KGuJr7jLY, minutes  1, 22)

A DIRECT QUOTE FROM DR. ROY GANE

"What if we develop a culture where we listen first, and condemn never?" (Clay Peck, Separation of Church and Hate Sermon, Grace Place, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYtfiKO3pbc, minute 52)

What if?

Watch these pride marchers ... march right into Grace Place.
