On Gay Churches - Homosexuality and The Church


Let me just say that I have nothing personally against homosexuals that choose to live their lives in sin any more than I have against anyone else living in sin as I once lived. Let me add that I am not perfect and I don't think that I'm better than anyone.

I am also sensitive to the fact that everyone should have the right to pursue their spirituality wholeheartedly and if I were homosexual I imagine I would also want to find God. Finding God, however, is different than playing God or pretending to know what God thinks outside of what is indicated in the Word of God if you believe that is what the bible truly is.

But to try to twist the Word of God around to justify a lifestyle that is clearly not God's will for men and women, especially those who claim to follow Christ is an offense that is actually greater than the homosexuality per se, I believe, because the practicing homosexual sins against God, himself and his partner and it ends there.

This church of yours seems to misrepresent God's Word in order to support homosexuality which not only misleads practicing homosexuals into thinking that they are morally pure but also places all of the bible's validity into question. If the bible is wrong about homosexuality, what else is it wrong about?

I used to use drugs. Crack to be specific. What if someone was able to convince me that there was no sin in my drug usage? Should I continue to use drugs at the risk of addiction, harming my body, losing my job and my family? Should I then start a church with fellow crackheads so that we can all console each other by convincing one another that God is pleased with our behavior and reinterpret scripture to support that belief?

I think that homosexuals have the same problem as everyone else that is born. They are born in sin and shaped (by society and culture, nature and nurture) in iniquity. The deck is stacked up against all of us at birth which is why we all need rebirth through Jesus Christ.

Truth seekers do not try to change the bible to fit their sinful lives, they work to change their sinful lives in order to conform to God's purpose for their lives as is indicated in the bible. This is straight talk and it may not be easy for a man who is attracted to men or a woman who is turned on by women but consider this - I am a married man who is attracted to voluptuous women and not only the woman I am married to. If I could change anything in the bible, I would change the rule on adultery and have as many women as would have me. But I do not live MY life anymore. I live the life of CHRIST in me. Not my will, but Thy will.

Please stop misleading homosexual Christians. They have as much right to know the truth about the eternal consequences of their homosexuality as heterosexual Christians have a right to know the truth about the eternal consequences of their sexual immorality. Sin is sin. Just because you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig!
