'Homosexuals are welcomed in my church' - Bishop Ishmeal P. Charles
Bishop Charles is one of the few ministers of the Gospel in the Virgin Islands that carries an unblemished image as a man of God because of his uncompromised position as a minister of the Gospel, his "realness" and forever public speaking of his dedication to the principles of the Holy Bible.
Suffice to say he has been ridiculed for "calling jack, jack" and his wife Lady Patricia Charles has also been interpreted as being rude and unfriendly to some people because of her “no-nonsense style".
However, when Bishop Charles message to his church located in Baugher's Bay Tortola during the usual Sunday morning service took a sudden twist this news site could now do without hitting the record button to their live feed as he belched out, "No one was born homosexual, you were not born lesbians".
Church should not 'go down with placards' against homosexuals
The Bishop went on to tell the congregation after referring to scriptures in the book of Romans, "Listen to Bishop Charles, say what you want to say, homosexuals are welcomed in this church lesbians are welcomed in this church like any sinner but they must repent from their sins."
Adding that the church should not "Go down town with placards against them" he recalled standing at the dock on or going to St Thomas, "To my shock I see two ladies walk up and the kissed each other, they tongue kissed, my blood run cold, I died and came back, in front of everybody. So don't act like it is new, oh no it's not new."
He equated the sin of homosexuality to that of any other sin of which persons are required to repent and stop doing including lying, stealing, fornication and adultery as he spoke of what he characterize as the practical, positive and actual truths.

......"his wife Lady Patricia Charles has also been interpreted as being rude and unfriendly to some people because of her “no-nonsense style".
I have a problem understanding How all wrong has the same ratings.. We call a wrong a Sin...How a man going with a man be rated as the same as a man going with a woman..How a man taking a banana from his neighbor Banana Tree to eat because he is hungry be rated the same as a man robbing and killing another man.? My common sense tells me something is wrong with that picture...
Let us love one another regardless and when they come, lead them to Jesus Christ.
God bless you Bishop.
That said.
It's the men who have been married twice have grown children then decide oops.....or the women who have been married three times have grandchildren and then decides ah ya....
If the men were born effeminate okay. If the women were born masculine okay, but to be switching back and forth, being on the down low, marrying a woman but going Puerto Rico on the weekends with your boyfriend ah, no
