A Series Of Unfortunate Events

One cannot blame Mr. McClurkin for what he continues to decree amongst the audience of individuals that he has established for himself, given that the makeup of his worldview consists of Judeo-Christian elements. If in fact the makeup of this worldview includes the Christian attempts to re-structure the kingdom of God as mentioned in scripture, then it is evidenced that this kingdom begins with the foundational family structure that this God created and then instructed that these creatures subdue and multiply the earth. However, the inconvenience of free will that led to what man now calls "sin", interrupted this kingdom edifice. Now those of the likes of Pastor McClurkin through the redemption of Christ, seek to re-establish this kingdom, which consists of those basic foundational elements. So this is the crux of how Mr. McClurkin's viewpoints and perspectives came to be the way that they were, of course with the help of motivating "church mentality fire and brimstone" preaching as you have alluded.

Albeit, I think that your frustration with him is not his choice to leave his lifestyle or his personhood, but his attempts to proclaim to others that they too can walk away. Walking away would assume that one has an option to be there. Walking away would assume that one's behavior was either wrong or evil in nature. In a general sense I personally would have to agree that the terms option, wrong and evil in this case have strong personally destructive undertones. I mean, most homosexuals would hardly consider themselves drunken, thieving, malicious, criminals. On the other hand anything that is divergent to the components of the Judeo-Christian God constructed kingdom, would indicate that in order to align properly to see the kingdom progress, one would have to take personal accountability and change.

So, you see, Mr. McClurkin is only doing his job. As instructed, "this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached to all the nations", and as instructed he is motivated by his love and desire to see this message of kingdom declared. Now of course there are many other aspects of this kingdom that I have not delved into, but only for the express purposes of this blog. I would not consider Mr. Mclurkin's endeavors futile in nature, but rather, a series of unfortunate events. A series of unfortunate events for those of your cause my friend.
