“That those with same-sex attraction cannot marry someone to whom they are sexually attracted is unfortunate (there are many unfortunate factors in life), but there are also many who do not have same-sex attractions who for various reasons are not married and may never marry.”
The more foolish churches are caving on this point, due to some misguided sense of sympathy. “It’s not fair” is the rallying cry of those who insist they be allowed to “marry” the people they “love”. Well, God ordained the principle, so if someone doesn’t think it is fair, then they don’t have a basic faith in God, so why are they trying to join our churches in the first place?
The only conclusion I can make is that those homosexuals who insist that churches need to accommodate them are only interested in subverting the churches and nothing more.
Subversion is indeed the reason the gays are challenging churches. For that matter, I have never heard the subject of homosexuality addressed from a pulpit. You would think from all the coverage that preachers are preaching hell and damnation to the gays from every pulpit in the nation. Not true. The gays brought the whole subject up by challenging churches on doctrinal matters.
That sums it up. Why would anyone be motivated to attend a liberal church that caves on this point? Bible believing Christians have no interest in them and why would a liberal want to invest time and money in an organization that teaches what already gets anyway for free from the left wing media 24/7?
