It amazes me how two people join a club (if one doesn’t think of it as a church) which clearly states the rules before joining and then whines and demands changes to the rules because it doesn’t match their beliefs.

Within the group, you subjugate your beliefs to the agreed-upon doctrine. If you can’t do this, YOU LEAVE. You don’t demand others conform to you.

That’s my whole problem with homosexuals, homosexual rights and homosexual marriage. They are unrepentant about their sin and, in fact, demand others not just tolerate but endorse their sin and then act shocked - SHOCKED - when traditional churches don’t capitulate to them.

Can you imagine if we had Adultery Pride marches and adulterers demanding their rights to have their partnerships recognized as moral and demand their be no condemnation, punishment or discrimination against them?

Most people would find that ridiculous but adultery and homosexuality (and fornication, I might add and even lust) are all the same sin in the eyes of God. We don’t have Adultery Pride marches. We don’t have Shack Up Pride marches. Yet we have Gay Pride marches where they arrogantly assert that their sin is not only not sinful but insist there be no condemnation of it within earshot of them.

If homosexuals humbled themselves and repented of their sin before God and the church, they would find forgiveness and acceptance as others saw their struggles to put Christ before their sinful desires. But they don’t. They demand their sin to be declared not sinful. They insist they are more moral than God and His Scripture doesn’t contain the moral authority to condemn their behavior.

Frankly, any church that does not instantly recognize and preach this should be condemned on the day of judgement. They chose man’s immorality over God’s perfect holiness.

I am, too, a sinner. But I don’t demand God change Himself to accommodate my sinfulness. I try to conform to the perfection God wants of me. Some days I do better than others but I don’t expect God to change for me - which is what the homosexual rights crowd appear to demand.
