I was just browsing online, when I came across this story. Basically, to sum everything up, there is a porn pastor floating around out there. He even has his own website that claims it is the “#1 Christian porn site.” His name is Craig Gross, and he is known for writing several books including Starving Jesus, The Dirty Little Secret and The Gutter.
He is also known for driving a “Porn Mobile” to adult expos, sitting amongst all of the lust, and telling people that Jesus actually loves porn stars, despite what they do for a living. He is anti-porn and pro-Jesus, but some people might think that he needs to change is tactics. At his website, there is a store where you can buy things like T-shirts. Some of the sayings on these t-shirts don’t really sit too well with some Christians. Here are photos of a few t-shirts below.
Oh, and here is a nice Bible that you can carry with you to Friday night Bible Study.
There are a lot of people that write to his website (hate-mail) that think what he’s doing is a disgrace. Here are a few snippets from his site that I thought you might find interesting…
“Your Theology is way outta whack, how the hell.... apart from a gross misinterpretation of John 3:16... Did you come up with your disgusting tag line which I won’t even bring myself to say. That is the most disgraceful blasphemy I have ever heard.”
“Dear Sir,
First of all, do you really call yourself an authentic Christian? You've got to be out of your mind. Show me ONE place in the scriptures where GOD uses hip or fun tactics to relate to an issue as serious as this. Young man, this is not a game to GOD and YOU ALL better wake up and see that before He shows you how foolish you immoral people are. What is wrong with you people!!!!!???”
“I am sure that your website means well, but what do you think about a young child walking thru a parking lot and seeing a vehicle covered in the words XXX and CHURCH together, you send a mixed message and nobody thinks it is a good plan but you.”
The only thing I have to say is this, if people have to read so much into what you do, in order to figure out that you actually mean well, then YOU, my friend, have a problem. It should be CLEAR that you are trying to separate yourself from the rest of the world. I know that you’re trying to appeal to a young audience, but I also know that Jesus does not want to hear that He loves porn stars.
