I find it strange that you would be unable to continue discussion for whatever reason.
It's personal... not really looking to get any further into than that. Thanks in advance for respecting that.

This is TIC, I know, but one of the interviews in the Borat movie showed a guy who said "we" are trying to get the death penalty for gays in the US, and sure didn't seem to be speaking TIC. Now that is sickening, to me.

Once upon a time in our society people involved in such lifestyles would not publicly admit such,because the morals and values of people would not tolerate such being admitted.
I have daughters,and I think about what kind of world we have to live in,yet we as Christians are called to be light in a dark place.
We know that homosexuality was something hidden from American society. But that meant it went unaddressed and bubbled unchecked under the surface. Let's not fool ourselves...it's been with us in every decade. We just ignored it.

But society is getting to the place where it is breaking out into the light. That means we have to realize that hiding it didn't resolve anything. When issues like this break forth into the light it's an opportunity for the church to minister to those struggling with the issue.

I'm not sure it would be good to go back to the days when everything "looked" ok when it wasn't.

I'm not for it, but I think there are a whole lot more important things to worry about for our teenagers than a couple of confused girls showing up at a prom as a 'couple'.... like drugs, drinking and driving, and the sex the kids will be doing at and after the prom...
9 out of 10 times these are just teens wanting to "shock" people. And...it works. LOL

And what if He doesn't deliver them? Is that somehow their fault? Did they do something wrong? Not fast enough, not pray enough, not plead enough? Didn't feel guilty enough?

What if He doesn't? Does that mean they're never welcome in the church? Or forever have to hide who they are, what they struggle with? Does it mean they live with skeletons in the closet for the rest of their lives?

God will deliver anyone from any sin, if they really want to be free from it.

You obviously haven't heard, there are limits on God's grace. Hmmm no that doesn't sound right. Perhaps there are limits on some church's understanding of God's grace.

Well then surely there are some sins which God cannot deal with. Hmmm that doesn't sound right either. Perhaps there are some sins that certain church members can't love through in spite of their claims of knowing what agape means.

Maybe they have forgotten the message of Jesus:

I love you, and there's nothing you can do about it!
