“So, can you provide me a list of sins commited by people that are so bad that we should not preach the gospel to them?”
Don’t put words into my mouth. There is a world of difference between preaching the Gospel and “reaching out.”
IMO, the fact that you call those who celebrate sodomy “the Gay community” shows that you are already moving in the direction I predicted.
There’s nothing gay about Hell, and they are not a community, but a sad conglomeration of dysfunctional accomplices in abomination.

Too true.
But it is ALSO a community with it’s own norms, cohesiveness, goals, boundaries (such as they are and aren’t) . . . etc.
And it is still CHRISTIAN and GOD EXPECTED OF US to Love the sinner without loving the sin;
hold them compassionately and kick them pointedly with the truth all at the same time.
Few authentic Christians seem up to the task, sadly. And masses of them rush along toward hell accordingly . . . needlessly.
And the Christians nearby smugly walk on by sanctimoniously proud that they don’t have THAT HORRID sin on their score card. While God MAY be considering their smug pride as WORSE.
What a horrible post. You should be ashamed of yourself. Being homosexual is a terrible sin and I have never, ever implied otherwise. I even said in an earlier post that reaching out to those who are gay -- they call themselves the "gay community" and I'm going to stick with term -- should not mean that we compromise our values. My wife has ministered to prostitutes and brought some to know Christ. Should my wife have called them whores instead of prostitutes?
What separates you from me is that I want to bring these people to Christ. There but for the grace of God go I. For some reason, as far as I can glean from your posts, you hate them so much that you don't care whether they come to know Christ or not. Jesus loved you while you were still a sinner; why should you not afford other sinners the same courtesy?
