"She was in church and the pastor announced from the pulpit that she was hell-bound."

Maybe the more theologically correct statement would be:

"She was in church and the pastor announced from the pulpit that she is hell-bound, and will end up there if she continues in her unbelief that Christ was provided as a propitiation for her sins, one of which is the practice of homosexuality.

This is the central theme that so many gay "bashers" on FR (that some on this thread are worried about) are saying. Right on! We have no way of knowing if the pastor simply pointed to the woman and said "you're going to hell", or if he said what Sangamon Kid quoted, that "You will go to hell if you don't change your ways". To a liberally biased reporter, those two things sound just the same, since homosexuality isn't a "choice", it's a "predisposition". (barffffffff) But to anyone who thinks about it, and knows the truth about homosexuality itself, the two statements are very different.

To me, homosexuality is very simple a social "ill" to correct: Let the homos do what they want, let them marry, let them have their benefits (but NOT "special rights"), let them practice their lifestyle anyway they CHOOSE, but the fact is clear, there is no way you can be both Christian and homosexual.

There is no way around I Cor 6:9-10.

What does it matter? The public declaration of either is utterly offensive and spiritually immature!!! It is love that covers a multitude of sins not humiliation, not the ostracization of a misguided, broken sheep.
