You got it right. Being "gay" is a lifestyle affront to God. Divorce is a different matter but what I think the article is really saying is that the church needs to be purified before it can overcome the sin of homosexuality and the gay army of God haters. Once our own house is in order, then we will have real authority to take on the problem of homosexuality.

Today I had a conversation with my pastor about the gay thing.

Told him of Freud's suppressed "Seduction theory" that Freud was working in a French morgue before the turn of the last century and uncovered horrific sexual abuse against children. This theory was suppressed by a psychiatrist named Fliess who discredited Freud and put forth the female hysteria theory instead. (This is why doctors in the early part of the 20th century would perform hysterectomies on women -- just to calm them down!) Turns out Fliess was molesting his own son, and wanted to hush up this crime of the century against children.

Point being, I don't know ANY gay person who was NOT molested as a child. It is a Satanic plan to raise up this gay army against the church -- usually by using our own sexual sin and hypocrisy against us. Sexual abuse in the home is working to turn a generation against God if not to turn them gay.

We in the church must be compassionate about gays as well as holding the line with our own sinfulness.

You're really on top of the gay thing.

The few homosexuals I've known through the years, did not claim molestation as the reason, although if they hid it, I can understand why. These same individuals claimed to love God, yet could not "control" themselves.

I believe some homosexuals really want to change but in todays amoral society there is no reason for them to change. If the Church got its moral footing back, perhaps the homosexuals who do love God will have the opportunity for forgiveness and help.

Until then, there is nothing to be done except prayer.

I know plenty of gay people who were NEVER molested as children. Your broad brush totally negates the rest of the point you were attempting to make.
