just because someone broke the rules it does not mean all the rules were broken...
I'm not sure if that was an intentional dodge or if you're just not getting it.
You say the bible is the word of God. The bible has tales of men with multiple wives that are servants of God. The bible says God spoke to these men. But it never says anything about God telling these men that it was wrong.
Your bible says that it is not a sin to buy or sell people as property. It also says that a slave owner can rape their slaves, among other rights, because they are property.
These are the words of God?
Other than that, many interpretations of the bible exist. As I said, many use the bible to fuel racism. Do you support this?
I would hope that you don't, but at one time it was WIDELY accepted as the word of God.
What about the fact that I am Pagan? Do you think I should be tried and put to death?
I personally feel you're wrong. I think that Jesus and God would allow homosexuals in church. Here is what my thought process is.
1: God views sin as sin. Being Homosexual (if it is a sin) is no different than stealing a candy bar, or getting drunk in the eyes of God.
2. The bible says that everyone is a sinner. It isn't possible to not sin. You can ask forgiveness, you can do your best, you will still sin.
So you are a hypocrite to say gays can't enter church because they continue to sin. Even if you ask forgiveness, even if you try with everything you have to not sin you still will sin.
3. Judgement is a sin. It doesn't matter if the bible says something is a sin or not, that is for God to pass judgement at the end. NOT for YOU to judge now. You can say that it is a sin. You should NEVER bar someone from church no matter what you may think. That is GOD'S house, NOT yours. There is nothing I have read that resembles a checklist to deny entry.
Let me give you something to think about. I am a pagan. I worship multiple Gods, and I use witchcraft. I have been to many churches, some VERY conservative. I am still invited inside to hear the word of God. Just as ANYONE should be.
My point, in short, is that you profess knowledge of the bible. Then you show differently by your actions.
This leads me to believe that you are a hypocrite or that you have deceived yourself. I would like to think that you have wandered of the path and just need a nudge to find your way, I seriously hope so. I am not a Christian, but I have read the bible many times. I also have much respect for the true loving Christians that try to follow the example given by Jesus. But what you spout on this forum is not Christianity. You have judged, yet say it is God who judged these people. But it is not for you to say anything, you should treat them like brothers and sisters, love them and hope that if they are on a bad oath, that your love will help guide them.
A shepard guides the flock, they don't beat them with their staff and force them to walk a certain way.
