If they find out that I am gay I will be kicked out of the church and won't be able to preach anymore.

This goes to show you how Satan works... You need to speak to someone in the church...and also tell them of the blackmail your dealing with..I would also call the police, I do believe there is something there like sexual harassment charge!! Maybe get a lawyer, for pro-bono..anyone out here on Answers that knows of a Gay-Rights lawyer that can help?? Then slap this jerk with a law suit, and take everything he has, since you might not have a job..Then you can build your own church for Gay's!! I am not gay, but everyone needs to hear the word of God!!!!!!

I don't know what denomination you are but it sounds like your affiliated with one of those gay is a sin religions. I know there are a few churches out there somewhere that accept gays as normal people. ( which is what gays are anyway ). My advise to you would be to get away from your present church, if that is their teachings. Join a church that is coming into the 21st century. one that preaches tolerance, freedom of choice and love for your fellow human beings.
I am an atheist myself and even though most so called Christians cannot tolerate my non- believing heathen ways and believe there is no path but their path, I live for myself and not for them. If your church cannot tolerate your being gay, I think it's time to leave them in the 14th century and move on.

Just because he says it doesn't make it true. I say you don't have sex with him because I promise you it won't be a just one time deal. If you do then he will have 2 things to hold over. I think you should beat him at his own game and go and talk to some church leaders (I suggest women for you) and tell them how you are being threatened by a sexual predator (because that really what he is.) And I bet once you do this you will have saved yourself from this piece of crap. You don't have to tell them anything about your own sexual preferences. Stick to the blackmail facts
May God bless you and keep you!

I don't now what sort of Church you are preaching in but you have some serious soul searching to do. Those who preach will be held to a higher standard than others you know.

Are you really gay? Are you really a minister?
No one can hold anything over your head if you don't allow them to. Do you have plausible deniability?
Tell this guy to go take a long walk off a short pier.

can't people/religions just leave gays (and any other groups of people) alone to live there lifes, rather than pushing their vies upon them. people/religions should just leave them alone and live in peace, as intended. its not for us to judge other people anyways because they shall be judged after death (if you're christian or most other religions) people/religions are the problem, if they just didn't spread there hateful vies towards gays then there would be no grieth for them and then this argument would not exist and there would be more PEACE.

Are you being serious? If you really are gay and ministering to others, just so you know, it's people like you that give God a bad reputation. Come clean, you don't have to confess to your congregation, just the Lord. Repent, repent repent, please.

Pray like you are voting in Chicago -- early and often. Pray that God give you guidance as to HIS will. Submit yourself fully to GOD.
Do not let the Devil tempt you through this man.
Pray.

If your church does not tolerate gays, then you should move out of it, and don't wait for any neighbor to report your peculiarity.

I'd say go on and tell and I'll take a lie detector test. I tell them also to let God take care of spanking them. Give it to God and them to get lost.
