For Today guitarist Mike Reynolds took to Twitter today to share his thoughts on homosexuality — and his comments have stirred up quite an outrage.
Originally commenting on an article published by DallasVoice.com on anti-gay pastor Louie Giglio, Reynolds said in a series of tweets:
“Don’t be deceived, homosexuality is a sin. This sin with all other sins is what Jesus died for. He conquered so that we would be free.”
“No such thing as a gay Christian, the same as there is no such thing as a Christian who loves his sin.”
“Don’t be fooled by the formation of a state church as though the government is being converted, they only use the name of Jesus for their progressive liberal agenda. If you are a Christian then separate yourself from this civil religion that advocates sin. Be true to God.”
Understandably, fans responded angrily to Reynolds’ homophobic comments:
“Welp, thats the most ignorant thing I’ve heard all day.”
“Fuck you.”
For Today have yet to release a statement on the matter.
