Homosexuality is an abomination in Gods eyes.
But so is lust... are you going to tell me that heterosxual clergymen are not tempted by lust for other women ?
We are all tempted. What makes us sin is FALLING FOR TEMPTATION.
Abstinent gays are tempted in a different way, as long as they do not fall into temptation and ACT on their lust, they should be allowed to serve.

"Abstinent gays are tempted in a different way, as long as they do not fall into temptation and ACT on their lust, they should be allowed to serve." So says the gay apologist, SeekAndFind.
You are missing the point of the exchange, it would appear on purpose: sexual degeneracy is a lifestyle choice; the truly regenerated soul will not seek to identify itself by the sexual proclivities which drove the life before Christ's Grace, so if the sexual degenerate still seeks to be identified by the previous degeneracy, that soul is not regenerated.
You really ought to try Jesus, he is the Soter, the Deliverer from evil. Homosexuality as a choice is evil. You can be delivered from evil. That's why Jesus took upon himself a body, suffered and died, then rose again from the tomb.
Peddle your tolerance for evil to someone else, I will not compromise with you and the sexual degenerates.

You can either choose your understanding or you can choose God's commands. The choice is yours.
Abstinent gays implies they still have the disease or the desire but are not acting on it. According to Jesus, this is the same thing as acting on it:
Matthew 5:28
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
The same concept applies for each and every sin.
So, you can either side with God or side with your feeble understanding.
