Controversial Christian group to protest openly gay Christian singer's first concert

ray

The controversial Christian group “Bible Believers” has announced they will be outside of Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) in Washington DC this Sunday, Sept. 21, to protest the return concert of Christian music icon Ray Boltz.  Boltz stunned the conservative Christian music world in 2004 when he came out publicly as gay.  This will be Boltz’s first large concert since he left performing four years ago after announcing he is gay.

Bible Believers are known to make themselves a vocal and visible (and often unpopular) presence at LGBT events with bullhorns and large banners that read “Homo sex is sin” and “Turn or Burn!”  They are considered an anti-LGBT organization. 

MCC is described as an international fellowship of Christian churches (250 congregations in 23 countries) and are known for their special outreach to LGBT communities.  MCC is considered a pro-LGBT organization.

Boltz, 55, had sold more than 4.5 million CDs and tapes over a 20 year career in the contemporary Christian Music world.  He had 12 number one hits as a singer and song writer on conservative Christian radio.  In 2004, came out to his wife and four children as gay.  This ended Boltz’s 33 year marriage and caused him to take a self imposed four year hiatus from performing.  Boltz's concert on Sunday is titled “Homecoming Celebration” and Boltz has publicly thanked MCC for making him feel welcome after he announced he was gay – and at a time when he felt rejected by other Christian organizations and many of his former listeners.

Bible Believers and MCC have been at odds for many years in their polarized interpretation of the Bible and how Christian churches should address LGBT issues.

Event: Ray Boltz return concert “Homecoming” at Metropolitan Community Church

Date and Time: Sept. 21.  The MCC will hold regularly scheduled service from 9 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. , with a potluck dinner following the service.  Ray Boltz concert is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m.  (The Bible Believers have stated they will be at MCC from noon to 5:00 p.m. )

Location: MCC, 474 Ridge Street N. W. , Washington , DC, 20001.  (Bible Believers group will be assembled on the sidewalk in front of the church.)

Quotes:  “How can a person give up a wife of 33 years, a son and three daughters for sex with another man?  And be considered a hero?  Only in a perverted Church will this type of perversion be accepted” (Ruben Israel, spokesman for Bible Believers)

“God is not tolerant of sin, never has been, never will be.  Nowhere in the Bible do we even find the word “tolerance” let alone see a Holy God winking at sin.   Where was God’s tolerance when He flooded the world with water, or was God all forgiving when He burned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah?”   (Ruben Israel, spokesman for Bible Believers)

"A few years ago I made the decision to retire from contemporary Christian music.  I had won awards, performed in front of thousands of people, and sold millions of records.  Still, i believed that if people knew who I really was, I would never be accepted."  (Ray Bolts on leaving Christian music)

"(GMW asked Ruben Israel if he was concerned about Ray Boltz living a lie, living with depression, and his taking Prozac to keep from committing suicide.)  “He is now a dead man walking, dead from his savior and soon to be in hellfire,” said Israel.  “I do not feel sorry for him.  The real victims are his wife, children and grandchildren.  If Jesus would say something about the Ray Boltz today, it would be, Father do not forgive him because he knows exactly what he is doing."  (Ruben Israel, spokesman for Bible Believers)
