The singer added:
“It’s hard to say I came out because I didn’t have all the answers. I just admitted what I was struggling with and what I was feeling. It’s hard to go, ‘This is the point where I accepted my sexuality and who I was,’ but I came out to them and shared with them what I’d been going through.”
That’s all we have for now on Ray Boltz Gay:Washington Blade Interview.

I don’t know what to say about the whole Ray Boltz stepping out of the closet. Except if he was truely devote Christian he would of gotten some ministorial counceling long before now, or even now instead of accepting the homosexuality. There’s a proven fact that you can not be born gay or homosexual they have have found no evidence that there a genetic DNA traits for homosexuality. Also if Ray being a true christian then he wouldn’t be saying he was born that way, because that would be saying God created homosexuality and knowing full well he didn’t. (Sodom and Gamorah give you a clue God wiped out that city with fire because of the immoral acts and homosexuality was one of them).

I agree with missem. The Bible is so clear on the issue of homosexuality. God created Adam & Eve, not Adam & Steve!! Unless one chooses to interprit the Bible to their liking, you cannot possibly find anywhere in the scriptures where it clearly shows that homosexuality is any part of God’s design or condoned by Him. Ray may very well be saved but the Holy Spirit will need to do a great work of conviction. But again, maybe he’s never truly been saved. We’ll know for sure when we get to Heaven.

Man’s feelings and actions do not change God’s word nor his creation of man and woman.
If homosexuality is normal, let everyone join in and soon there will be no one left on earth!

really, just because he has now “come out of the closet”, so we say, doesn’t mean he will act on it…i mean who on earth doesn’t “struggle” with one issue or another…as long as we are making confessions, i struggle with porn, that doesn’t make me less of a Christian or mean that I act on it, I just struggle with keeping away from it and it is a day to day renewing of mind, body and soul with my Saviour, and an accountability to my husband that keeps me from it…Ray, if you are reading these comments, please know that I will keep you in my prayers and thank you for being honest, please be encouraged and God bless you for your faithfulness in listening to the Saviour to help bring others to God!!

I agree with Stace. We are all humans! We make mistakes. Just because we have a problem with something doesn’t mean we have to act on it, and it doesn’t make us anymore of a Christian. I would rather him be honest than hear him stand and proclaim perfection while he is living a hypocritical life. We shouldn’t all boycott him and his music and trash him. We shouldn’t quit using his music while we worship the Lord. We should lift him up in prayer and ask God to help him.

I think Ray Bolts living in a “fishbowl” lifestyle is what makes him a target for all this controversy. Does it really matter what we think?
I have my conservative opinion, but what matters most is what God thinks about all this, and then what Mr. Bolts’ family will do from here on out.
We’re still praying for you, Mr. Bolts, and still love you.
Amanda | Sep 18, 2008 | Reply
Amen! As a lesbian and a christian, I couldn’t agree more.
And yes, you are born gay. Other people need to get off their high horse and find something better to do. It’s no wonder so many gay people don’t believe in god, when all they get is hate from you so called “christians” who need to take care of your own business before proclaiming just “who” will or will not go to heaven. Don’t use the Bible to judge others. That’s not what it is for.
Nicolette | Sep 18, 2008 | Reply
Till I walk a mile in his shoes I will not judge him. Until then I will pray for him to have a close relationship with God, and his family.
He has given so much to the christian music genre, Many people have been blessed because of him.
Grace is a gift of the spirit.

I understand what some of you are saying about not judging Ray Boltz, but on the other hand, look at the damage he has done to his testimony,to Christianity, and most of all the damage he has done to his poor children and wife. Can you imagine how they feel? I guess the world doesn’t understand sacrifice. I want my children’s love more than I would my own selfish needs. He should have gotten counseling years ago.
sharon | Sep 19, 2008 | Reply
Amanda and Kingfish, you are both deceived and if you embrace and live a lifestyle of homosexuality you are not and WILL NOT be saved, that is what the Bible says. Yes, we all do sin and have some struggles but the key word here is “struggles” as Stacy said, she “fights” against it, not just accepts it. You repent of sins not embrace them. We all have crosses to bear as Christains and that is to deny our own lustful passions and desire (ourselves) and follow Christ. I you want to have sex then you must pay the price of marraige(commitment, pledge, faithfulness, monogomy for life) to one person of the opposite sex if you want to please God. That is God’s Word and if we don’t like it then we will try to change it but God has the same Word settled in heaven for all eternity and that is the Word that we will be judged by and we can’t change that. Jesus did not suffer and die on a cross so that we could love and embrace our sins, He came to destroy sin in us and we all have full control over our own bodies and what we allow them to do. You can stop committing sin, just don’t let your body do it. Your body doesn’t just get up and walk around and go here and there without your permission, even non-Christains have that capacity. But sin in the mind should be our biggest struggle as Christains and I did say “struggle” (fight). We must constantly be aware of our thoughts that corrupt us inside and ask forgiveness when we entertain immoral thoughts. Your body won’t do anything that you don’t let it do, example: if you really want to do something, you do it, but if you don’t want to do something, no matter how much it needs to be done you don’t do it, just like cleaning the garage, it needs to be done but if you don’t really feel like doing it then you just put it off or don’t do it at all, why? because you are in control. We have the same control in every area of life in our bodies. So we are without excuss for our behaviour, we do what we want to do and we don’t do what we don’t want to do.

No born again Christain is a practicing homosexual, liar, molester, thief, adulter, fornicator, murderer, gossip etc….. If you are truly born again by the Spirit of God you can’t do these things and not have conviction to repent (turn away from, forsake, deny). That is why Jesus said that there would be “wheat and tares” in the church. Many will be Greatly deceived in the last days. The homosexual churches is perfect proof of this, they have all bought a “bill of goods”.

Those who put liar, molester and adulterer under the definition of “gay” need to pick up the bible. Does it state that? I think not!
I am the father of 3, and came out at 35. I have been in a stable relationship for nearly 10 years with a man that loves me for who I am. Further, I am NOT a liar, molester or adulterer. I am simply a man, who happens to be gay, with a professional career and in a loving relationship. God loves all of us. He didn’t make love conditional.

I have a good friend who is struggling with his sexuality. As a believer, I won’t judge him…I will love him…I have told him this time and time again. I believe what the bible says is literal and useful. This includes God’s disdain for all types of sin (I think that is what Sharon was talking about - and that is in the Bible) Yes, there are struggles…Yes there is sin…but as Christian we should know that “love covers a multitude of sin”. I am not condoning any of the actions that are being alluded to, but I am wondering how much love, or more appropriately compassion Christ had when He met the Samaritan woman at the well. She struggled with sexual sin as well…He knew about her and shared His words of encouragement and love. He did not tell her that she was going to hell…but he did encourage a change. Anyone who is struggling with any type of sin can rest assured that God is long-suffering (that’s in the Bible, too) and He is waiting for a relationship with you…He is also wanting to help you with your struggles. It would be great if we as a community of believers could listen a little more, Pray a lot more, and encourage those who are hurting. If you believe that homosexuality is disease, then perhaps you can fight back the fear of it being communicable and reach out to help the sick.
My friend who is struggling needs to be loved. So does Ray Boltz.

After reading these comments. I think one would understand why homosexuals are full of fear when it comes to the possibility of talking with people in the christian community about their sexuality. I think that most of you deserve hell much more than he does or any other homosexuality, because you profess to be christians, yet you don’t even follow the greatest commandment of all, to love your neighbor. All I see from any of you is condemnation and ugliness. It’s too bad that the blood of these people is on your hands, and it is you all who will have to stand before God one day and answer this question: Why did you not show love to my lost children? Because of you, my hands, my representatives on earth, because of your sinful, hateful hearts, my children, whom I love very much, put walls up in their hearts against me as a result of your words and actions. Maybe some of you should think about this.

God is Holy. The Word of God says that sin cannot and will not be permitted into the gates of Heaven. I am in no way putting myself on a pedastool, we all sin. But I am not PROUD of it. God calls us to repent. I think that if Ray has truly been saved by the Holy Spirit, he will be in Heaven, but he will pay a price unfathomable for what he has done, just as we all will pay for our sins. I do not intend to spend my life wallowing in something I know is wrong even thoguh I know God loves me. God told the prostitute about to be stoned, “Go and sin no more.” Did he love her? Yes. And he still loves you, but do you go and sin no more, or do you, in knowing that you are going to Heaven, live in sin?
Lastly, I would expect this of someone who sings secular music, but from someone who is a contemporary Christian singer, it’s a shame. I am a teen myself… I need a better example.

Sin is defined by God for us in the Bible, God’s Word is our source for what God says is holy and righteous or sin and abomination. We need to refain from sin period. To be a called a Christian is to be like Christ. Sin is to be confessed to God, not exalted by some interviewer or newspaper. The Bible says;
“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” Leviticus 18:22
“If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.” Leviticus 20:13
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
Old things no matter what, interferes with our ability to serve Christ should be put aside. This includes our selfish desires without regards to others or God.

All sin is relational sin. It is notable that homosexual acts in the Bible are viewed as devient because they occur outside of covenantal relationship. Sexuality was meant by God to be expressed within a lifelong committment to another human being wholistically–not only physically. Such same-sex life-long commitments are not present in the Biblical stories (although some have speculated about David and Jonothan whose relationship was extremely close but otherwise unclear) but they are present in our modern day times. In all of this debate there are only three things I can discern for sure: 1) God places high value on covenant, 2) We cannot love God, others, and self perfectly without the Spirit of the Father and the Son loving through us. 3) We receive the Holy Spirit through trust in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for all our sins and we can do absolutely nothing to earn this.

If he struggles… he struggles, just like every Christian does. BUT when he acts upon his ’struggles’ he is then sinning, just like every Christian does.
Castletongayman -
Yes it is sin, and in the same classification as the rest of those sins mentioned… not only is being ‘Gay’ sin(as the Bible states) but just being effeminate is a sin as well… read your Bible.

Ray should know better. He knows what the Bible says about homosexuality. For him or anyone to try to sugar coat homosexuality they are living in a dreamland. It is really sad. Besides his famous song “Thank you” I don’t know of anything else he was known for. Ray, Clay and Kirk Talley now going straight to hell while they know how not to go there.

Saved by Grace, remember the samaritan women? She changed! That is a big difference between her and Ray. You can love them all you want but that doesn’t change the fact that God will not allow homosexuals into heaven.
Dogwood, typical “offended” person who uses insults to make a point. Have fun with Ray.

I believe that even though a celebrity, one needs to first of all make sure that his name is in the book of life and ensure the right lifestyle of living holy and walking according to the word of God before singing and preaching and serving. I personally wish to find favour with God before men love me. I am also focused to inherit the kingdom of God, not of men.

I look at guys like Ray Boltz and others who have come out openly to embrace homosexuality and my heart shivers especially looking back and seeing how the Lord has used them. I strongly believe that homosexuality and lesbianism should not be tolerated. I must say that i come from church south (from africa) and we feel that there are basic truths that should never be compromised issue of sex orientation does not occur to me. Brothers and sisters let us resist it in its totality.
Gunn | Sep 25, 2008 | Reply
Paul points out in Gal 5 that the acts of the sinful nature are obvious, and proceeds to list examples of those acts. This is an obvious act of that nature. No one is stating that homosexuals are liars or molesters but that that particular sin is in a list of other sins that if involved in or living as a lifestyle, the Bible clearly states, will not inherit the Kingdom of God. We have to remember that we all are fallen yes, and we need to treat each other with grace absolutely, but grace does not equal acceptance and tolerance. Mr. Boltz this is a sin just as lying and/or many other things are sins, but if you rely on the Holy Spirit to give you the strength to resist, which is a promise of God, than God will honor that reliance. The Kingdom of God/Heaven is not something that any of us deserve or have any right to think it will be our just because we try hard, it is something that is inherited by those that have become God’s children and that God “knows” as His. (see Mt 7) I still may love those that struggle with this just as I love those that are liars, but we have to point out the truth. We must put to death the flesh and it’s desires, whatever they may be. I’m sorry Mr. Boltz that the desires of your flesh became too strong for you to resist but know that this is from your flesh and God is not pleased with this. May God reveal to you all the truth.

Repent, repent, repent. Ray, for you to so publicly advocate your private shame is wrong. Time to put on that millstone necklace, brother.
I am so sad that Satan has destroyed another brother, his family and friends, and brought a shame to the name of Jesus in the name of Ray Boltz.

I wouldn’t throw away his recordings. They were and still are great. David committed the sin of adultery in the Bible, but yet we still have his psalms before and after he committed that sin. We as christians need to learn how to forgive as Christ did and to reach out to him and pray that he comes back to the truth and that God will deliver him out.

Amanda,
you say that you are a christian and that people are born gay. If you read the bible, as you should being that you are a Christian, you would see that there is no question that people are not born gay. For everyone who wants to chime in on “controversial issues,” please do yourself the favor of researching it in the book of truth, and it will be clear that the “controversial” issues are not controversial at all.

I’m sorry to here that neither am I surprised.
—These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.—-(2 Peter 2:17-22)

Fuck you Tom. You don’t know he won’t see heaven. God has a purpose for everyone and just cus he’s struggling with something doesn’t mean you trash his tapes or assume he’s going to hell. Instead, pray he comes back to discover God’s love and the intentions He has for love.

The greatest form of love is truth! Jesus said, “I AM the way, the truth and the light…no man can come to the father but through Me.” Who has the authority to state what Truth is? The creator or the created? Are there any absolutes? You must first believe that Jesus is who He says he is and that He has the authority to rule or govern your life.
According to the Bible, we are all born with a wicked (sinful) heart. We all have the tendency to be given to greed, lust, idolatry and every form of sin that can be named if left to our own devices. That is why Jesus came and lived the sinless life and sacrificed Himself for us. To give us His spirit and a new heart. His spirit helps us resist sin and crusify our flesh to live like Jesus directs. If you believe that Jesus has the right to set the boundaries in your life, then you must submit your desires to the truth of His word and deny your flesh. If you choose to gratify your flesh and do what feels good to you then the word will judge you in the end. I love my children and I do not equate love with giving them free reign to go their own way do their own thing without rules and guidelines. I DO NOT want to come across as any better than RAY or any other person who struggles in the flesh….CERTAINLY Jesus loves all mankind (including those that indulge in sexual sin. The question here is will He go against His own word and allow people to make their own rules or govern their own lives (making their own “JESUS”), serving the desires of their own hearts and still say “Well done?” Or will he say “Depart from me, you are a worker of inequity, I don’t know you?” We need to all pray and search our heart according to HIS WORD.

It devastates me to hear the word “Christian” in the context of the sad and bitter attacks I have read in these comments. God is the only judge, who do you think you are to judge others - the one thing a Christian is supposed to do is to “act as Jesus did”….and I can honestly say I believe he would be sickened by your judgements. Get on your knees and ask God for forgiveness. He will, our loving Father will, but the damage you do with your vicious comments may destroy and push people who want to know the Lord…because they see the way so called Christians act and respond….Ray was a tool God used to give us beautiful songs…he knew Ray was gay back then…He knows all things.

The point here is that it is not “love” to tell people that they were born “gay” and that God made them that way, when scripture clearly states that the gay lifestyle is an abomination to God. He also says that and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, [Lev 18:22; 20:13; 1 Cor 6:9] men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. What is the due penalty for their error?….I am not stating these things to hurt anyone but to cry out to anyone who would believe a lie (you were born this way, to PLEASE examine God’s word carefully for yourself and do not go by what you “feel” or by what someone in authority would tell you, such as it’s ok with God b/c He created you that way. These people are turning you away from sound Biblical TRUTH (the true Jesus) to the feel good doctrine of if it feels good do it. God says to crucify the flesh, put it do death, and not gratify it. People if we choose to gratify our sinful desires we will reap what we sow. God gives us His word to show us who He is and what HE likes and detests..how He designed things to bring us to himself and what things will separate us from Him. It is not that he Hates people who practice sexual immorality but He LOVES them enough to tell them the truth….I too disagree with people who preach Christ but treat others with viciousness. I do know that my truth and your truth will be judged by the word of GOD. If our feelings and desires go against God’s word we MUST (with the help of God’s Spirit) but to death (crucify…not give place to our flesh), to inherit God’s Kingdom (Heaven).

I hate to tell you, but the Bible says that homosexuals are an ABOMINATION in the sight of God or in other words, God hates them- not just their lifestyle. Maybe you should study the Bible a little more before stating your OPINIONS because you are quite ignorant regarding the Word of God.

Hey folks, homosexuality is absolutely condemned BY GOD in THE BIBLE. It seems you have a problem with that, fine. But don’t think you can be a Christian and a PRACTICING homosexual.
Go start your own religion. Just don’t think it’s “Christian”, it’s not.
Just because you hang out in a garage does not make you a car. You can be gay and go to a gay church. You are not a Christian.

Let me say 1 thing i am a Messianic Jew i am a Jew Who believe’s Yeshua (jesus) is the Jewish Messiah.Romans 1:21 because, although they know who God is, they do not glorify him as God or thank him. On the contrary, they have become futile in their thinking; and their undiscerning hearts have become darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they have become fools! 23 In fact, they have exchanged the glory of the immortal God for mere images, like a mortal human being, or like birds, animals or reptiles! 24 This is why God has given them up to the vileness of their hearts’ lusts, to the shameful misuse of each other’s bodies. 25 They have exchanged the truth of God for falsehood, by worshipping and serving created things, rather than the Creator - praised be he for ever. Amen. 26 This is why God has given them up to degrading passions; so that their women exchange natural sexual relations for unnatural; 27 and likewise the men, giving up natural relations with the opposite sex, burn with passion for one another, men committing shameful acts with other men and receiving in their own persons the penalty appropriate to their perversion. 28 In other words, since they have not considered God worth knowing, God has given them up to worthless ways of thinking; so that they do improper things. 29 They are filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and vice; stuffed with jealousy, murder, quarrelling, dishonesty and ill-will; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God; they are insolent, arrogant and boastful; they plan evil schemes; they disobey their parents; 31 they are brainless, faithless, heartless and ruthless. 32 They know well enough God’s righteous decree that people who do such things deserve to die; yet not only do they keep doing them, but they applaud others who do the same.
read this most most will read first part only
27 and likewise the men, giving up natural relations with the opposite sex, burn with passion for one another, men committing shameful acts with other men and receiving in their own persons the penalty appropriate to their perversion.
and you will want to say that the law is done away with im sure ill prove you wrong
matthew 5:17 “Don’t think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete. 18 Yes indeed! I tell you that until heaven and earth pass away, not so much as a yud or a stroke will pass from the Torah — not until everything that must happen has happened. 19 So whoever disobeys the least of these mitzvot and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever obeys them and so teaches will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
mitzvot’s mean commandments torah is the law
plz tell me has heaven and earth passed away did jesus walk on this earth or is this a new earth yes same earth means Follow the Laws Jesus said so OBEY HIM NOT ME OBEY HIS WORD’s
21 “Not everyone who says to me, `Lord, Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, only those who do what my Father in heaven wants. 22 On that Day, many will say to me, `Lord, Lord! Didn’t we prophesy in your name? Didn’t we expel demons in your name? Didn’t we perform many miracles in your name?’ 23 Then I will tell them to their faces, `I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!’
this goes for all believers I blame christnity for ray boltz and the gay christians it’s there fault the christian misters for saying that the law is done away with they will tell u they follow the law but they lie ask any of them if they eat pork or shrimp the prophets say anyone who eat’s pork will be destroyed the law says not to eat pork but christians do they them selfs pick and choose which laws they will follow no better then the gay christians in my view. i could go on for hours on this subject ill leave u with 1 final scripture
Matthew 23:23 “Woe to you hypocritical Torah-teachers and P’rushim! You pay your tithes of mint, dill and cumin; but you have neglected the weightier matters of the Torah — justice, mercy, trust. These are the things you should have attended to — without neglecting the others!
what does last part say Without Neglecting the Others Jesus was saying Follow all the Law not pick and choose which parts

I do not hate homosexuals, I love them, but I do not condone the sin that they practice. What is so scary is that satan has convinced, deceived, so many people, and yes, even some Christians that because they have these desires that God must have made them that way and that practising homosexuality is okay. And not only that they practise it for themselves, but they try to convince others that it is perfectly okay. I fear for them because I believe that God is very displeased with them even more so than with a homosexual that has no thought for God.
As far as being born gay, I don’t believe that because God does not make mistakes, but even if you were born with a desire for someone of the same sex, that doesn’t mean that you have to give into that desire. There are people who born with a greater chance of becoming alcoholics and drug addicts because of family history, but does that mean that they have to give into it? I don’t know how anyone can not read Romans 1:26 and 27 and still say that homosexuality is okay with God. Yes, God does love them, but He will not overlook their sin, especially those who call themselves gay and Christian. There are many out there who were involved in homosexual lifestyles and now are Christians, Stephen Bennet is one of them, you can check him out by googling his name I’m sure.
Yes, I love homosexuals, but I will not believe the lie that you can be a homosexual and a Christian at the same time, I’m sorry, it just goes against God’s word.
