Sinners who don’t repent are not accorded the same rewards as sinners who do.
And you are the judge of that? Hardly Christ-like.
So how do know that this man did not repent in his final moments? Are you God?
I was heavily involved in the art and music scene during my teens and twenties. During that time, I encountered a lot of gays and became friends with them. I remember chatting with a friend once and made a remark in jest that so many gays have such good looks that they could have any woman they wanted. He turned to me and said, "Yes, they look good now and they looked good as children." I felt awful at that moment.
My personal experience is that a large percentage of gay men were molested as children. I've also found out that almost 100% of gay men (I can't vouch for lesbians) were rejected or felt rejected by their fathers when they were growing up. The friend that I spoke about in an earlier post fell into that last category -- he was an artistic, un-athletic guy whose father would have nothing to do with him because he wasn't macho and athletic. I know this is true because I know his family very well. He came to know Christ and repent because his oldest sister and a few friends chose to love him instead of rejecting them.
How would you like to go to heaven and find out that someone you rejected is in hell because you felt that you were too good to witness to them?
The point is that you see a gay man as someone that you should not associate with. God sees them as sinners but also wants them to repent and come to him. Churches need to reach out to the gay community (note that I did not say compromise God's word) and invite them in. The vast majority of gays are desperately unhappy people who would respond to God's call if more Christians would offer it. Jesus did not reject prostitutes, tax collectors, and other sinners -- he met them where they were and invited them into his kingdom. We should do the same.
Then why did the church take the trouble to find out that the man was homosexual before they made the offer to hold the service? Mt. Sinclair's family didn't make any secret of it and it would have saved them from having to withdraw the offer once they found out.
