You're not inviting these people into your house to have sex on your living room floor. You're inviting them to a family event.

You're inviting them to a family event.

So you are saying that you condone their lifestyle, is this correct?

I'm with you.

"In the end, there are these three: Faith, Hope, and Charity.

And the greatest of these is Charity."

[trisham]

That was offensive.

Exactly! I can't figure out how these "families" think that the sin of someone else is somehow going to pervert the gathering. If that were the case, no one would have family gatherings ever!

You're inviting them to a family event.

Exactly - a faily event - now open your eyes - you are pretending they are a family when they are not. Its like inviting a parapalgeic to play tackle football - its something they are not suited for, and it will only get them hurt worse in the end, no matter how much earnest desire and good will they have to be included.

This isn't a matter of condemning someone for a singular act, but refusing to accept a habitual sin someone has no intention of repenting or changing from.
