[QUOTE="Glock 40, post: 3234566, member: 32"] I have to agree with Tanis on the why the hate? I can read Romans 1 and and its very clear and simple on this topic. I do not agree with the actions that these people partake in, or that they are trying to indoctrinate children that its okay. Yet I am only accountable for my actions and my children's till they are old enough to account for themselves. I think one major issue is people aka Christians mainly treat this differently than any other sexual sin. For some reason it has been elevated above other sins. I think that could be an error on the (Churches) part to acknowledge it as such. That has in turn caused the coalition of people committing this sin to become so powerful in their fight against the (Church). The bible says "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." So these people put their time and money into fighting for what they want. As for allowing them into places of power in the church. That is just churches being churches. Long ago most organized religion left the tried and true way of preaching the bible aka "The Word of GOD" and letting GOD do the rest. Now its smoke machines, fancy lights and rock concerts, self help books, along with enough daily activities planned at the church that you never have to interact with the real world. Aka the mission field. Most of these Churches are simply non profit businesses that are in the business of property management and making money for those employed by said business. I would say just because you may find it repulsive doesn't mean its any different than adultery, fornication or the other multitude of sexual and bodily sins listed in the bible. Most people aren't flipping out about kids having premarital sex. Or their buddy cheating on their wife and so on. Of all the guys here that think homosexuality is disgusting. How many of you are okay with a couple hot chicks doing it? Does that repulse you to the same level? I tried to avoid going there on this thread. The likelihood anyone will have a changed opinion when this thread dies or is locked is very small. I would just say we can never affect any positive change in anyone if we don't interact with the world and show them some of the grace we are shown daily. I am not saying condone it, but we all interact with sinners everyday that we don't cut all ties with. I know for me if Heaven isn't a gift, I have no way I will be allowed in. [/QUOTE]
