When Rev. D.E. Paulk started preaching gay inclusion, people started to leave the church his father and uncle spent their lives building. Now, Paulk is prophesying the future of his ministry as a “community of seekers.”
Paulk signed on as senior pastor at Chapel Hill Harvester Church in south Decatur, Atlanta, in 2006. The 4,000 member non-denominational church welcomed all races and cultures, serving as a model for megachurches in the U.S.
But the Paulk family would soon find itself embroiled in a scandal, in fact, scandal after scandal after scandal. The congregation remained loyal when Bishop Earl Paulk was accused of adultery. The congregation was faithful when he was accused of abusing his religious authority to force women into sexual relationships. The congregation even stood by the family when paternity tests revealed his nephew, D.E., was really his son.
But when Paulk started preaching gay inclusion, people started to leave the church. Now, the once powerful church is fighting off foreclosure. The building is up for sale and young Paulk is taking his gay inclusion message to the masses through a new book called “I Don’t Know…The Way of Knowing.”
Paulk is sharing his beliefs, which include Buddhism, Hinduism, Daoism and other principles from other religions, through his writings. In an interview with gay magazine goal in an interview gay magazine Southern Voice , Paulk’s said his goal with the book is to get people to admit that they don’t know as much as they think they know.
We know in part and we prophesy in part. But one thing is certain: homosexuality is an abomination to the Lord. Another thing is just as certain: you can’t serve foreign gods and serve Jehovah with your whole heart. The Paulk family’s downfall demonstrates the destructive forces of sin in the wake of successful attacks against a ministry that, at one time, had so much influence in our nation.
The Word says it and so it is. Yes, homosexuality is an abomination, but I wonder do you ever use that particular word to describe other sins in the bible that are also listed as abominations??? Do you refer to adultery or gluttony as an abomination as it is also called in the Holy Bible?
It is amazing how we as Christians will condemn gay people but overlook divorced people and have no problem putting them in leadership. Jesus never even addressed homosexuality but he did address divorce but we have no problem over looking that wrong because Christians don’t really care what Christ said but they are quick to condemn gay people because they don’t understand them. It is amazing how we create our own Christ not the Christ in the bible. Plus the scripture Jonas Clark mentions in the old testament on homosexuality is correct but once again Christians really don’t love God because they still sleep with their wives on their period, play football made out of pigskin (abomination), wear two types of clothing, etc. Paul said, if you obey one law, you must obey ALL OF THEM. Examine your heart, are you picking out what you want to believe and not care about the other laws or don’t really care what the Lord wants or not.
