Presbyterian Pastor Discusses Homosexuality and Biblical Contradictions

In American society religious hypocrisies run rampant, from Pastors laundering money from churches to the debate over homosexuals becoming ordained ministers.

In a society that needs to reconnect to our spiritual roots, Christian and otherwise, people find it hard to trust the leaders they look up to, and the government they believe in only further alienates them.

Local Pastor Russell McKee of the Bethany Presbyterian Church shares his views on religious corruption, homosexuality, separation of church and state, and Biblical hypocrisies. As well as explaining exactly how so many different sects of Christianity arose from one book.

"It reminds me of the six blind men and the elephant." He said about so many different denominations, "They lead six blind men into see an elephant and told them ‘this is an elephant', so one went up to grab the trunk and said, ‘an elephants a lot like a snake'. And one grabbed the tusk and said, ‘no, it's a lot like a spear', and another one grabbed it's side and said, ‘no I think it's more like a wall.' Another grabbed it's leg and said, ‘no it's more like the trunk of a tree'. Another grabbed it's tail and said ‘no it's more like a rope'. And the last grabbed it's ear and said, ‘no actually it's like a fan'. All six of them were right, but they all had a limited perspective, and so all these different denominations, all these different groups, bring a completely different perspective about God, and help us understand the bible in many different ways. Every denomination sheds new light on a book written in metaphors, to help people understand it in a wide variety of ways"

On the subject of Biblical contradictions he was first asked about the following passages: "….the earth shall abideth forever." - Ecclesiastes 1:4; and "…the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." - Peter 3:10
