Churches should reach out to homosexuals in Christ's love, but should never condone or approve of their sin.

Churches are already doing this as with any other individual living in sin. But bringing them into the church fold is another matter altogether. The church has a responsibility to it's children and memebers. Pedifiles, transgenders , homosexuals, adulterers and others need to be repentant and that is brought by praying for them...... There is a difference between reaching out and bringing them into the fold before they are saved when you know they are "living in a sinful lifestyle".

Example...Stripper who was being witnessed to...how would the congregation react when she attended church, when in fact she knew members who had watched her dance? Imagine how those reacted who saw her there after she gave her life to Christ.....God uses the most unusual circumstances to route out those who think they can hide their sin.

FOLD? What does that mean exactly? “Member”? I could agree with that. Otherwise no.

So, do you have a sinner “section” in your church? It must be quite large. You of course sit in the “other” section.
