I find myself not really caring what other denominations choose to "do" or "not do" regarding homosexuality. God will sort it all out.... I truly believe that. IF you are Lutheran (or another denomination that caters to things not pleasing to God) - leave... find another church. And again... Let God sort it out.

I do not believe that homosexuality will take over our existence ... it's strikingly unpopular if you look at the differential between gay and heterosexual people... I don't understand .... besides stating the obvious - what it is we are "supposed to be doing"? I'm not going to hurt these people - I'm still praying for them and beyond that - what else?

I'm about a conservative as one can get. You should know that by reading most of my posts or counting the number of times I have had to pull my foot out of my mouth because of my "attitude." I hate homosexuality. I hate that people are being silent and letting the "church" deceive their congregation and take them into hell. I pity those who straddle the fence when it comes to scripture and sin. I hate liberalism and socialism and the direction our country is taking. I know I have used strong emotional words, but that is how I feel. But, I digress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew 15 13 But He answered and said, "Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. 14 Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch." Pointing fingers, talking smack, and preaching to the choir is really going to accomplish what? So you folks are ok with Gay day at school, the whole homosexual agenda? The humanism of the church? Lets just ignore the Apostasy in the church and live our own lives? Sounds cool, huh? As long as me and mine are ok, you can just do whatever you want. After all, I can't judge anything or anybody's actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointing fingers, talking smack, and preaching to the choir is really going to accomplish what? One never knows who will read the news here at Worthy. Ain't only the choir, my friend.
