But they weren't refusing him attendance, were they?
No, they just denied him membership, which implies acceptance.
So, these adulterers who attend your church, do the proudly proclaim themselves as adulterers and inform you that you must change your attitudes about their behavior or it proves that you are not a loving Christian? Do they attend with their mistresses? Are you certain that comparing them to the open (and often in-your-face) homosexual is a valid comparison considering the disparity in their public behaviors?
I mentioned adulterers in my first post because folks always raise that question in defense of the open homosexuals. Actually, the adulterers and the fornicators are counting on the church's silence in regards to the homosexuals. They know if the church loses its ability to stand against that behavior, how can it stand against any other sexual sin?
God and Satan are both watching these developments. I believe that Satan is pleased by these developments and that God is not.
Read reply to gidget7. No, I don't condone homosexuality and recognize it is a sin. I believe the church cannot accept the practice of homosexuality without condoning sin, just as the church cannot condone adultery. And does not. But I also believe Christ commands us to minister to homosexuals and attempt to get them to recognize their sin. Come on down, sinner! As you suggested, let's remind them of it every time they sit in church. Heck, I get reminded of my sins every week and I still show up.
