I got the impression that, behind Sprinkle’s teaching, There is a group of people who want The Church to acknowledge them as Gay Christians because their place of greatest temptation is same-sex attraction. I definitely disagree with that. A Christian’s identity is not in their flesh, but in Christ.
I don’t gather any of the things he said in his response from his teachings. I feel like he walks a thin line that borders on implying that the Bible doesn’t address homosexuality. Is anyone else getting that same impression as they listen to sprinkle?
Preston Sprinkle body shaming Pastor Doug :-),seriously? Here's a politically incorrect, name shaming observation by an old grandma. This GQ evangelical is living up to his name that sounds like a fabric softener or an ice cream topping. The average evangelical rarely opens their Bible and his brand of squishy that detests the Biblical brand of truth telling is exactly what got us where we are today.
@@michaelwolfe8888 Teasing about your name may be an antic which starts in grade school, but that doesn't mean when grade school is over it stops being funny or no longer fair game to anyone for the rest of your life. If you can't take a joke and laugh at yourself, then you've got far more serious issues than a mockable name and you need to grow up and learn to laugh at yourself and the world, far, far more often and learn to give as good as you get instead of crumpling in on yourself with hurt feelings and complaining "That's not nice, and *so* immature!" Note how Doug laughed at himself and said Mr. Sprinkles earned a point of respect from him by trying to body-shame him. *That's* how you respond to some one who gives you shit: you acknowledge the hit with a laugh and respectful nod of the head and then give as good or better a hit right back.
@ArcherWarhound You miss the point. Laughing at oneself is fine. And calling out someone as a snake or whitewashed sepulchre is appropriate at times. Mocking a person's birth name is just childish. You may as well sink to mocking their looks while you're at it. See Colossians 4:6
@@michaelwolfe8888 Tis you who miss the point: Childlike =/= childish and the verse you cited specifically says we're supposed to season our speech with salt, so it's absurd for you to attempt to use it to make the case that getting a little salty with a person you are verbally sparring with is sinful. Laughing at the absurdities and ironies of life, others' and your own when they are pointed out by others, is a sign of maturity, whinging about people being mean when they point absurdities and ironies out is a sign of immaturity. Grow up; develop a thicker skin and a lighter heart: you'll have more fun, live longer, and attract people with your joy rather than alienate them by being a wet blanket.

Hahahaha! This is a great response.
Let's take issue with Sprinkle's sad perspectives without resorting to the sophomoric practice of mocking one's name.
