Every Christmas I don “gay” apparel and like Fred Flintstone have a “gay” old time! oops! that was the 1950’s! it means sodomy and buggery now!
A ‘gay Christian’ is an oxymoron. There is simply no such thing.
In the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, we went to Melodyland Christian Center in Anaheim, pastored by Ralph Wilkerson. The musical director was Rich Cook:

//e says his own individual personal study of scripture tells him that being gay is perfectly fine and being in a loving, committed gay relationship poses no conflict with following Jesus Christ.//
Which “scripture”? Because it ain’t the Bible.
Of course believers can have same sex attraction but acting on it is another matter and even the attraction (lust) should be controlled (both straight and gay).
Like many in churches, they are listening to the World and twisting scripture to fit what makes them feel good.
SO, so very well put!
Besides, having feelings that aren't appropriate happens often but one doesn't EVER have to ACT on those feelings.
With the crazy drivers who seem to be on a death wish for themselves and anyone near...VERY hostile feelings gather in my brain but I never act on them; they stay in my brain. Why would I act on them? I wouldn't and I don't.
A man cannot serve two masters. He cannot serve his lust and his Lord. Each demands his complete loyalty.
NOT rocket science.
Pretty simple.
Since lust is one of the seven deadly sins, one can assume that it's to be avoided...unless perhaps it's within that very prescribed one-man, one-women marriage bed.
The axiom is serving God versus serving mammon...that is, [from Google]: MAMMON being wealth regarded as an evil influence or false object of worship and devotion. It was taken by medieval writers as the name of the devil of covetousness, and revived in this sense by Milton.
However you put it, you are correct.
FReegards.
Like a kosher hog....
You cannot say “I am living in an adulterous relationship that is Biblical”. It is simply not true and you will be forced into a choice between the relationship and God.
We had a lesbian couple at church that lived at a local nursing home. One of the partners(the butch one) was very active in the church. The other eventually convinced her to leave because she fell under conviction and wanted to flee from it.
A man in sin will not be able to tolerate solid Biblical teaching. That’s why so many people flee Biblical churches. The weight of the Truth is too much to bear.
“Gay Christian” is oxymoronic. Ain’t no such thing.
Well, you are not the one who decides who can be redeemed and who cannot, so your opinion on the matter is not very relevant to me.
Like many in churches, they are listening to the World and twisting scripture to fit what makes them feel good.
And if someone is waving big dollars to compromise, there are many willing to do so.
Amen to you.
I go to daily Mass and hear the Biblical reading every single day. It's all truth, The Truth. How can I go wrong? [Rhetorical.]
