If they only burred non-sinners, their graveyard would be empty.

"I did feel like he was being denied the dignity of death."

Living the final years of the precious gift that is life as a brazen degenerate, he is entitled to dignity in death? What is wrong with people?

So?

Where in the Bible does it state that God has sin hierarchy?
Which sins are the worst?

You can lie to your wife and still go to heaven because at least you are not homosexual?

Well let’s see.....perhaps if someone shoots himself in the head because he suffers from depression, do you know for a fact that he is NOT going to heaven?

Should the church hold a funeral for a woman who has had an abortion?

From some of the comments I have seen here, it would appear that some people know exactly whether or not this dead homosexual went to heaven.
Perhaps he asked god for forgiveness right before he died and was denied a funeral.

The seems to be quite bit of judging going on here by my fellow Christians.

I agree with the church. I have a relative who is an atheist but his wife is, well, says she is, a Christian. There’s no way I would go to this guy’s funeral and watch all the talk about Jesus.

Question: why did the mods pull the first posting of this story?

[liberalh8ter]

Why on earth would this woman think her son having a ‘husband’ would be okay with the Baptist church? If her son chose an ‘alternative’ lifestyle, then he should have been prepared for an ‘alternative’ funeral’. The church can't be expected to betray its doctrine just because this mother needs some kind of validation.

I read yesterday that the family had the service at a funeral home. Apparently, it was big enough. So much for expecting a bunch of mourners. Why in heck did they say there would be so many attendees?
