from Theological Issues

According to a report in the UWM Post, a campus paper, Pastor Wilkins' speech was interrupted by cell phones, audience comments, and a fight-that witnesses claim was staged.

Pastor Wilkins told the audience, including gays, that, "Change for the homosexual is less about flipping a switch and more about turning a knob."

In discussing "gay theology," Wilkins said, "Gay theology is a reinterpretation of scripture to say what scripture does not really say." It is a reinterpretation to find loopholes to justify actions and sin, said Wilkins.

He told homosexuals, "You can choose to abstain from ... homosexual activity. Rest assured with time and obedience, the attraction for (the same sex) will diminish and the attraction for (the opposite sex) will increase."
