Lets look at the bottom line here. Victory Church doesn't simply "not turn away those who struggle" with homosexuality. They practically embrace and encourage those who are in that lifestyle, to come to their church (with their gay lovers if possible) and feel accepted in the body of Christ. And "Pastor" Kenneth L Samuels has been known to employ some of the same "gay theology" arguments that have been used by the gay church movement for decades. That is deception and perversion, plain and simple.

If this is true, then I would agree it is very problematic and the view cannot be reconciled with the scriptures. Jesus can forgive homosexual behavior, but if is taught to be anything less than sin, then no forgiveness is needed nor granted.
