Homosexual Poll

The first answer is the only one that comes close to what I would answer, but instead of "I think", it should be "Homosexuality IS a sin." Of course, so is lying, adultery, and many other things Christians do. The only way I would welcome a homosexual who is living that life is if he is seeking God's forgiveness and cleansing from that sin.

Anyone living openly in sin should not be allowed to participate in any position in a church. The same holds true for other sins if someone is known to be habitually committing that sin.

 

Yes homosexuality is a sin
Yes I would welcome one to visit our church, but not be a member unelss they repent, are saved and leave the homosexual life style.
Yes I would go out to eat with them or even welcome them in my home.
By class do you mean church? If so, then the answer is no, they are living a lifestyle God calls sin, and are approving of it, and no church should ahve someone like this teaching, what are they going to teach, to obey God when they themselves will not attempt to obey God and leave their lifestyye behind.

My daughter in laws brother is homosexual, sweet guy, very effiminate, he kows we're christians, he knows we love him, he also knows we do not approve of homosexuality, he talked with my husband once about it. And yes we've had a chance to share the Lord with him. Problem is, he lives 100 miles away, attends a pro homosexual church, who sees nothing worng with homosexuality, so he thinks it all ok with God.

I took the question to be teaching in chuch also, until saggy explained her recent job training. I wouldn't see a problem with job taining lead by a homosexual, after all it's not a christian setting and he isn't teaching homosexuality in anyway.

 

Homosexual BEHAVIOR is sinful. The state of being a homosexual may not be. We cannot choose our orientations, can we? But we can choose what we do with our natures, whether we be homosexual or heterosexual. To either, it seems to me, the same rules apply: that God's intention is for sexual activity to be within the confines of marriage, as understood to be between a man and a woman. All others are to keep their desires in check. Difficult? Perhaps. But impossible or unreasonable? Not at all.

 

as christians we can chose God or sin, so yes we can choose our orientations, continuing to be homosexual only means choosing to be disobedient in lifestlye, making disobedience a habit of life, by choice, after salvation. Saying we can not chose our orientation is giving an excuse for what God calls sin.

 

Not too long ago, a local church softball team (denomination removed) played the team from the local gay men's chorus (yes, they have a team). After the game, the church guys left the field without as much as shaking hands after the game. A Christian friend of mine had a lot of expaining to do to her gay friend after that one.
