Well said. Thank you. I guess what this church may be attempting to say is, in essence, God doesn't make mistakes. We all have our "burdens in life" to bear and all people are welcome to come to the place of healing and hope. I personally think they are doing a poor job of advertising that point, but perhaps this is a campaign to at least get them in the door so that they will be introduced to the only way to heaven - faith in Jesus Christ. I believe that once a person honestly commits their life to the Lord they will only then find the power to overcome temptations of the flesh - of any kind.
Hopefully, this church is trying to reach those who feel rejected by God and they need to know that they are welcome by people of God. NOT to be encouraged in their sin, but to start down the path of holiness we ALL must walk. No sin is any worse that another in God's sight and we all stand guilty before a just and holy God. Without his mercy and grace NONE of us would ever join him in eternity.
Thank you, boatbums. You have a gracious and charitable attitude, and that’s something I appreciate.
