wow, since that is no longer a sin, then I’m curious if going to prostitutes is still a sin.
What about sleeping with your best friend’s wife?
Surely having a one-night stand with some drunk woman at a club can’t be considered anymore. Is it safe that there is no longer any lust based sins?
Good thing we are warned in the Bible about false teachers. I will not hate gays...they are sinners for whom Christ died, as am I. But my sin must be removed from my life and the same goes for everyone.
These pastors need to repent.
Huh? They have no Bibles?
All churches with falling membership. If there is no morality, then anything goes and why should I give money to the church when I can spend it on pleasing me?
I’d like to see the proclamation. Is it somewhere to be read?
Communist Goals (1963)
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion.

Sayin it does not make it so methinks. The day my pastor signed it would be the last day I was part of that flock.
So, these are supposedly Christians ministers who, somehow, have convinced themselves the Christian bible isn’t relevant when it comes to queers? I fail to see how you can be a Christian and not believe in the bible and it’s teachings.
Homosexual behavior is a sin all the time. Heterosexual behavior is a sin most of time (in this culture.) Homosexuality is not a sin. Heterosexuality is not a sin.
Without a link to the actual statement (not a response to what it supposedly said) maybe I agree. The left wants us to define homosexuality as = to homosexual behavior. Once they do that the truth loses. Why do conservatives fall for these stupid gambits.
100 pastors who haven’t read Romans 1. Although once I had a pastor try to convince me that Romans 1 wasn’t condemning homosexuality, it was condemning heterosexual men who were engaging in homosexual sex. We were in a Sunday School class when he proffered this view. I just blurted out, “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. That’s like saying ‘I’m not an adulterer, I’m just cheating on my wife.’” He didn’t see the correlation...
Isn’t this nice - changing scripture to fit the times. How special. There is a difference between a Pastor and bastors such as these.

They have truly sold their souls to the devil, but there will be a day of reckoning!
It may be a moot point, but the article would carry more weight if it contained the scripture and reasoning that formulated the decision these pastoral leaders had came to. In its present form, it’s simply a rant.
This, of course, ignores both the Bible’s numerous passages rejecting homosexuality and it ignores 2000 years of church tradition and history.
“including leaders from Lutheran, Episcopalian, United Church of Christ, United Methodist, and Presbyterian churches”
The usual suspects, No???
100+ pastors are destined to hell
I agree homosexuality is not a sin, any more than heterosexuality is.
But acting on those urges is, just like acting on heterosexual urges, outside of marriage, is.
And saying that God approves of it, or even tolerates it, and God wants gay marriage is beyond sinful, it’s blasphemous.
They are obviously not reading from the same Bible I have.
The "usual suspects" of apostate "Christian ministers", who long ago left the church founded by Jesus Christ. That they have continued to use the meaningless term (for them) Christian falsely claiming to belong to His Church - blaspheme a Holy God!
