I way let them in.
Warn them, there will be a hellfire preacher in the pulpit, preaching from the Bible on the subject of morality. There will be a dozen strong men ready to keep order.
They are welcome to listen.
I almost agree with you. Only they will play victim, as it is always their trump card. That, or they will throw condoms at the altar.
This is not how they operate. These people are serpent like, they are subtle, when they are not being outrageous on purpose. What they would like to do would be to pretend to have a civil discussion with the opening to make return visits. They may make friendships with some people who want to be “compassionate” and “Christian”. They may get phone numbers or email addresses of those who seem ammenable. They may even seem open minded toward the Gospel but they would be just reeling them in like so many fishes. I think their hope is to get sympathy from some of the congregation and then use that to build a relationship that would cause a schism. This is what is happening in many churches even the Catholic Church. Look at what happened at Notre Dame as Obama was warmly welcomed even when he supported partial birth abortion and the gay agenda. This is the soft sell. This is about the smile and sweet words - like the serpent in Eden.
Their hope is to find some sypathetic people that they could cultivate - even a weak minded reverend. If they could make inroads with the pastor that would be the top prize because the pastor would then try to lead his whole flock to the gay friendly point of view. It wouldn’t be about openly embracing their deviant behavior, it would be about “compassion” and “understanding”. One poster said that his Catholic church even has a special mass for them. The pastor can say -”We are just being compassionate, we are not accepting their behavior.” But there they will be Sunday after Sunday and the church will do nothing to ask them to give up their foul behavior. In Massachusetts there is a Catholic church that has a gay legislator as a member. This guy was in the forfront of bringing gay marriage to Massachusetts. He would get before the assembly on tv and give the most impassioned speeches for gay marriage. He used his church to get himself elected and he used it to give tacit approval to his lifestyle.
Don’t let them in. Would you let Satan in to convert him? If you want to reach out to those in the gay lifestyle who want to change, then have an outreach outside of the actual church. A website would be good with meetings somewhere outside of the church but do not let them into the church and be careful that you are not being had.
