“I put homosexuality right in there with adultery, heterosexual, pre marital sex, bigamy and other sexual immoralities. Christians have to repent, and put sexual immorality behind them. That goes for gays, like it goes for other Christians.”

I think too often Christians classify certain sins as worse than others. We cannot compromise and validate sin, but should love every type of sinner, whether or not it offends our sensibilities.

I was in a Sunday school class one time, and someone was upset a Christian friend of theirs had befriended a gay man. I was glad the teacher spoke up and said we should love others and witness to them. As long as he wasn’t going to gay bars with the guy, there was nothing wrong with befriending him. I have been surprised a few times by the level of hostility of Christians toward gays. Some of it probably has to do with the radical gays who try to shove their agenda down our throats. We can’t compromise, but should love individuals. God desires no one should perish. That should be our desire as well.

From the looks of the commenters on this thread, I don't think they would have approved of Jesus either. After all, he was criticized for associating with sinners.
