I think we tell them the homosexual lifestyle is an abomination, a sin against God.
If they are celibate and not trying to rationalize their past behavior, they need to know that they are listening to lies from the devil, especially if they have a need to refer to themselves as gay or homosexual.
What is the Church doing for those that are sexually attracted to children, nothing I hope.
If they feel that gay marriage is acceptable in any way shape or form, or if they try and rationalize it as being no different from other sins, that is troubling.
The word abomination isn`t used very often in the Bible.
I think they need to be told that Homosexuals will not inherit eternal life.
I say tough love is the most loving, it`s a sin against God, and they need to have this made clear to them.
A good Pentecostal Church (meaning not a ALL Black one) has it right, The Salvation Army etc. Tough Love is the only way to go, pray over them, but becoming liberal to accomodate them is to turn our backs on God
One more thing...if they vote Democrat there is no hope for them, the same as any Democrat.
To vote Democrat in any way shape or form is to support gay marriage, abortion and the removal of God/Christ from the classroom/public square.
Repentance for anybody coming to Christ would have to include repenting from being a Democrat and or liberal.
Liberal Christianity or Christian Democrat...both terms are oxymoron’s.
Church recovery program for this addiction.

**I think they need to be told that Homosexuals will not inherit eternal life.**
What happens if they repent and choose to lead a single celibate life?
