What would Jesus do? He would love the sinner but hate the SIN. If we are to pattern our walk on Christ's example, we will overtly be Christ-followers. We learn the truths of His message in the church. Hence, it is imperative for our pastors to preach the Word and model Christ--loving the sinner and exposing the SIN. Bible language is extremely harsh on the homosexual lifestyle. Our pastors can do no less. Where else can we be taught Jesus walk? RWH

Obviously I believe the Bible forbids homosexuality. Of course I oppose gay marriage. However, I don't know that this is a debate that profits the church to get involved in. It's one thing for Christians to personally oppose things, vote that way, and speak about it from that perspective with others. But to turn the church as a whole into a political body involved in public debates - I just don't think it's constructive in the carrying out of the Great Commission. I certainly don't endorse watering down the word or changing our beliefs for the sake of "fooling" people into accepting Christ. But I think we should always just stick to message. ALL have sinned, not just homosexuals, and ALL need Christ - and ALL can have Christ by simply believing. That's the message - people can accept it or deny it, but beyond that, we have NO right to interfere in the way others live their lives who do not have Christ. Getting involved in these debates only pushes people away from the church!
