A *HETEROSEXUAL CHRISTIAN* saying "Why a homosexual person can become a Christian and join a church all while being a homosexual still". Our purpose is equipping people with the Holy Spirit, the rest is for HIM (holy spirit) to takeover not for us to judge for it is the *sick* that need a *doctor*.

This is difficult. The sick do need a doctor and we are all sick

The issue is sin is the most difficult hurdle to overcome for Christians dealing with homosexuality - either themselves or trying to understand how to extend welcome.

Sin is sin. Even for Gay Christians.

So the issue is how Homosexuality in and if itself is sin. It is no more sinful than heterosexuality.

It just happens to be Homosexual.

So for Homosexual Christians, Homosexuality has to be read in context.

Some homosexuals repent of 'homosexuality' but God does not change them.

Some strong one understand and accept themselves as homosexual and move from there.

For Christians trying to extend love and friendship, it is difficult because they are caught with a Bible that condemns homosexuals.

Although neither God nor Jesus ever refer to it.

And if it were as fundamental as the screeching involved - it would have been a commandment.

Jesus would just have said outright.

But instead when we separate the sin from Homosexuality, we are left with the same sin as everyone else: don't kill, don't steal, don't covet, honor your parents, honor your day of rest, don't lie etc

Don't be Homosexual literally does not make sense. Don't be white.

Still Christians looking at homosexuals have to find a way to honor scripture and the Bible.

It's difficult.

However, you are not Christian because you believe homosexuality is wrong. This is not what makes you a Christian.

Having said your piece - if that's what you need to do - turn your focus towards dealing with these people as God commanded.

Respect and dignity and love for homosexuals is not incompatible with being Christian.

If you feel you must call them sinners every time you meet them, stay away from them.

You cannot be their friends and you cannot love them.

It is disingenuous to think that you can live a friend who is homosexual and continually feel compelled to convict them of their son

Move on.
