1 | Homosexual are picked on in the church? | James 2:1 | BradK | 177344 | ||
Hello journey_me, You are the one who initially posed the question. Without trying to be contentious, it appears to me that you do not like the answers. You are being far too broad in painting the Christian Church as attacking gays. That's not always the case. We have gays at our church. We love them but do not endorse or make excuses for their lifestyle! We also have unmarried couples at our church. We do the same for them. They are loved and welcomed. We can and should love the sinner, but hate the sin. The problem with Homosexuality in general, is that they do not see the practice of as sinful. Denying the truth will not open them to the Saviour- Who alone can change them! One must first recognize that they are indeed a sinner, and need to be saved from its' consequences. Christian "Homosexuals" have- by and large- attempted to redefine their behaviour and call evil good (Is. 5:20). That, in my estimation is the core of the issue to which you are seeking answers to. Am I getting closer on track with you? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

This is my last word on it. I have learned some things from you and only those which I did not understand or agree with have I challenged. I am not being broad on attacking gays, my intital questions was why gays. We have a social responsibility to everyone. Gays and church have been so politicized, and they are only a handful or people compared to the church. I feel we are misleading the body, by not applying the same amount of pressure on sex in the church, as well. We will not allow a homosexual to be preachers, but we will allow a fornicator. Do not take it personal to mean that is what you do. I don't think you personally would do that to anyone, I love this forum. I have been wrong and you personally have pointed me in the right direction. Just as I say all homosexuals are not evil, all church memebers aren't attacking. I don't think anyone can define it as right because it's not. I am tired of the Christian community spending more time on this group of people when there is larger issues to deal with. Safe sex is the new message, but the safest sex is no sex until you are married. I just wish that was in fore fronts a lot more. I do agree with you that you can't call evil good. Attack the si, not sinner, but a lot of the times that not the case. |

Greetings Journey Me! Do churches allow fornicators to be pastors? Every church that I know of would dismiss a pastor who was engaged in fornication. Secondly, is sin evil? If someone is engaged in sin (any sin), would it be possible to say of them that they are not evil? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
