Read Romans 1. It is hard to step around the truths:
1. Homosexual activity is sin. So are fornication and adultery but homosexual activity seems to be a “next step” down the road of depravity that comes from turning our backs on God.
2. If it is sin (it is), it cannot be openly condoned by the church any more than fornication or adultery.
3. ANY church that openly supports homosexual marriage is violating the words of Romans 1 and is into heresy. Their elders, who should know the truth, will stand accursed.
From a strictly civil perspective, I can see where homosexual marriage could be permissible in the courts but it should, in no way, be permissible in any church that claims to hold fast the gospel of Jesus Christ. Any church that allows gay weddings among their members is in violation of Holy Scriptures and, therefore, stand in opposition to the very words given to us by God.
Romans 1 destroys any argument of any special pleaders for homosexual marriage or homosexual behavior. There simply is no way around the Apostle Paul specifically detailing the behavior he had in mind. Even the most liberal of bible critics have recognized the Book of Romans as one of the unassailably certified books of the early Church. So, they can’t even use that favorite argument of ‘this isn’t really to be considered part of holy scripture...’
Romans 1 boxes them in, they know it, and that is why they have had to claim new revelation, reimaginings, and ‘spirit’ inspirations.
Lately, they’ve just given up, and said we have to ‘get past’ the bible.
So, you are right. Anyone who claims they can continue in a God identified sin, and say it is not a sin, and that their behavior is just fine, is one who has rejected God’s revelation.
Most of the churches are not willing to take a stand on fornication or divorce. They will not take a long stand on homosexuality.
