Is there a church that "turns away" homosexuals? I hope not....

However, I think there's a difference between allowing anyone to come into the church (which is how it should be), and allowing believers who have returned to sin to remain when unrepentant.

I believe this church might be part of the United Church of Christ. Here's the official position on the matter.

I think the main point many are trying to make is that there is a difference in a loving, caring church opening its arms to minister to gay people with the transforming power and gospel of Jesus Christ and a "Gay Affirming" church that accepts homosexuals "as they are"

The first is a godly church and the second has lost it's way and is condoning sin.

Right, these churches are not turning away gays....but they are also not telling them the truth that they need to repent of that lifestyle

I beg to differ. Facts are gossip and undisciplined overweight people are more acceptable in religious circles. The theme of my posts has been to point out the ridiculous expectations of the armchair quarterbacks and their inconsistencies. I stated I would use a homosexual before a gossiper any day. Read what you want into that.

Why would you use either?

Bingo!!!!! The light has turned on... It took a while... lol

I wouldn't go into a homosexual church to preach against homosexuality no more than I would go to a No Limits Conference and preach against the withcraft of legalism. unless directed by God.

The point is let's usher them into the presence of God.

Because the church as we know it is the most dangerous place to repent and get right with God.
