1. LBGT affirmed
2. to not condone the state's use of the death penalty
3. acknowledgment that there is a serious overpopulation problem in this world in spite of the clause in the bible "be fruitful and multiply": well, to multiply can mean performing the mathematical act of multiplication and be fruitful can mean be productive, so why not be fruitful by working hard to support the children you unselfishly adopted into your own home and watch the provisions for your adopted children multiply as you work in earnest to earn those means?
4. acceptance of the use of lawful contraceptives
5. acceptance of abortion to save the mother or in cases of rape or incest
6. to embrace stewardship of the earth God created: to frown upon pollution, to be environmentally conscious
7. to not condone warfare except in defense of people or one's nation from the enemies of peace and liberty
8. to encourage the kind and Christian act of adoption of children in need of homes; to discourage making babies purely out of gratification for a selfish ego
9. to condone the use of guns or weapons by citizens for lawful purposes as lawful hunting, lawful shooting sports and lawful personal defense from criminal threats of violence
10. to be very giving and charitable in nature
11. to frown upon hypocrisy

Gay sex, along with fornication and adultery, are all sins in the Bible / church.

You really should look at the context of the times. Also, the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah are explained in Ezekiel 16:49-50. If you don't take context into it, you can make the verses mean what you want.
Different names doesn't necessarily translate into different churches... there is only one Church - The Body of Christ.
Just like a human body.Divided into thousands of parts.......
There's more than Ezekiel 16:49-50, there's Jude 7 also:
"In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire."
The second-century BC Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs labels the Sodomites 'sexually promiscuous' (Testimony of Benjamin 9:1) and refers to 'Sodom, which departed from the order of nature' (Testament of Nephtali 3:4). From the same time period, Jubilees specifies that the Sodomites were 'polluting themselves and fornicating in their flesh' (16:5, compare 20:5-6). Both Philo and Josephus plainly name same-sex relations as the characteristic view of Sodom.
This is all so stupid and shallow. So glad not to be Christian anymore.
Flush.
Just venting. When I see how narrow right wing Christians are, it reminds me of how I was. I wasn't so negative as I was when I was fundamentalist. How embarrassing.
I wonder, why else would a person belong to a denomination unless he believed that was the right one ________
Right, a BIG difference in finding the church (Christian congregation) right for God, comfortable and believing the only right church with God.There is a difference between finding the church you believe is right for you and you are comfortable with and believing the church is the only right church and all the others are false or in some way lacking the true message of Salvation.

So, it is Not one's personal comfort nor personal belief but what is Scriptural and Not a man-made teaching outside of Scripture but just being taught as being Scripture.
To me comfortable can mean going along with the majority, comfort does Not necessarily make the majority as being right.
Jesus wants quality and Not necessarily quantity.
After all, Jesus said MANY would come ' in his name ' but prove false as per Matthew 7:21-23.
What a load of slander with no basis in scientific studies. And sad that you attempt to tar the left as being anti intellectual whilst at the same time having no scientific studies to back your claims.God's truths are narrow according to the Bible.
But beware of Liberal Fundamentalism
"Despite the idealistic goals of liberalism, attempts to build a Utopian liberal society in America have only led to heightened outbreaks of AIDS, VD, porno-related crime, social divisions, divorce, abortion, drug addictions, deficit spending, the welfare state, a crushing tax burden, the breakdown of the family unit, moral depravity, and numerous other such scourges which have resulted in enormous societal suffering and discontent. As a result, liberal fundamentalism is strongly associated with left-wing fanaticism, reverse-racism, anti-intellectualism, elitism, nihilism, godlessness, and societal violence."
Liberal Fundamentalism
Congratulations.
