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.

Again, the question was not about whether to minister to homosexuals, but to accept them fully as members. That would make ministering to their sins rather difficult, you know.

You are absolutely right!! Bus adulterers are we all know, do not go to church and say I am an adulterer and you have to accept me as a member, and not consider me a sinner. Likewise an unwed pregnant woman or unwed mother.
