should they also accept child molesters , the child molester says thats the way God made them, why should they accept anyone who directly goes against Gods word?

If there is any Christian Church in the United States that has married a same sex couple it is definitely the Metropolitan Community Church which is a denomination explicitly welcoming of gays, lesbians, etc. If any other has performed a same sex wedding, it would probably the United Church of Christ or the Episcopal Church as they are probably the two most liberal mainstream churches. Unitarians of course marry same sex couples all the time, but they aren't necessarily Christians.

Expect  a lot of protestors, the bible belt likes to let us know how much "their" god dislikes us.  Last year it was in Freedom park.  There was some type of dilemma this year so it won't be in the same place.  There is a LGBTcommunity center next to the white rabbit downtown that provides a lot of information.  For a really great time go to GAY BINGO, but hurry there are only a few left, the main attraction is retiring.

God accepts gays and lesbians...\n\nHe accepts ALL SINNERS if they turn away from their sins and ask for forgiveness.\n\nA gay is a person who has chosen a path of sin.\nA lesbian is a person who has chosen a path of sin.\n\nA murderer can come into the kingdom of God if he repents, and asks for forgiveness, and accepts Jesus Christ as their personal savior, and SINS no MORE.\n\nIf the person who has chosen a path of sins TURNS fro that path and decided on another path without sin, and does the rest, then they can also enter the kingdom of heaven.\n\nGod does not hate the sinners. He hates the SIN.\n\nComitting a homsexual act is in God's eyes an abomination. \n\nA person is not Born a murderer.\nA person is not Born a Homosexual.\n\nA person becomes a murderer when they commit a murderous act. They Chose to comit the sinful act.\n\nA Person becomes a homosexual when they commit a homosexual act. The Chose to commit the Sinful Act.\n\nA person can be born with homcidal tendancies, but they are not a murderer unless they are weak and they ACT on them.\n\nA person can be born with homosexual tendancies, but they are not a homosexual unless they are weak and they ACT on them.\n\nGOD can give you stength to NOT act on these sinful temptations.\n\nAnd yes, it is OK to be attracted to animals A person can be attracted to animals and enter into Gods Kindom. Unless they ACT on these attractions, they have not sinned. Beastiality is an ACTION not a way of life. It IS a sin.\n\nWe don't here anymore about NOT giving in to the Devil's Temptations. Why Not?\nDon't give in to temptation and you will NOT Sin.\n\nIt is the CHOICE of disobedience which is what you get Punished for. If you believed in God, and have chosen to be obedient to God, then you will not choose to give into temptation. Then you will not sin. \nThe next time you look at a person of the opposite sex lustfully, understand that you HAVE a CHOICE NOT to act on those Feelings.\n\nYES, I am sure Many people have entered into the priesthood because they CHOSE to be celibate. They decided having NO SEX at all was better than risking eternal Damnation because they gave into temptation and had homosexual Sex.\n\nRemember, a Person is Not a Homosexual until they commit the Sin. SO it is OK for a priest to be a priest as long as he does not act on his homosexual tendancies. (we have read that many have given in and that is why the Church is geting sued about so many alter boy situations).\n\nYour sins will be forgiven. Go and Sin no More.\n\nP.S. Ala would have the person committing the homosexual act STONED to DEATH With no hesitation.\n\nP.P.S. Christians are always required to DEFEND their Fairth from those who persecute them. Even though the Constitution guaratees freedom OF religion, this freedom is being challenged by those that read it freedom FROM religion. \nThe Congress shall make no laws restrict the free expression there of.. And they don't, but the liberal judges think they are Higher than the laws and try to legislate from the bench.\n\nP.P.P.S. A church can WELCOME all gays and lesbians. They also could say that they Welcome ALL sinners. Where do you think CONVERTS come from???

Gays should be allowed the right to marry. There's nothing morally wrong with it! If too people are in love then why not? If they're happy together and are already going to share there lives together, why not give the same rights as everyone else. Everyone who's so against it needs to just back off. If you're so against them, don't go to a gay wedding. Pretend that they don't exist like you normally do. Go bury your heads under the covers and read your precious bible. Believe it if you will, but don't ruin other's peoples lives over it. Does the bible preach about loving thy neighbor or something like that? Then why are christians and the like so close minded? If they have an all accepting God, then why aren't they? Let the gay people have their marriages and their lives. It isn't hurting you any!

Heron, you should to get this book for your paper called "Congregations in Conflict" by Keith Hartman, it is this case by case study of how different religious groups in this one area dealt with homosexuality.  It covers lutherans, baptists, methodists, quakers, and more.  Just an excellent resource.  It is more about gay people within mainline churches however.\n\nAnd here is some more stuff from another thread.\n\nFirst, a lot of people have mentioned MCC, however there are other sects/denominations that do not think homosexuality is in conflict with Christianity. They are\n\nDignity for Catholics http://www.dignityusa.org/\nUnited Church of Christ http://www.ucc.org/\nUnitarian Universalists http://www.uua.org/\nQuakers http://www.quaker.org/\nEven the Evangelicals have a wing in the UK http://www.eflgc.org.uk/\n\nSpeaking of the UK, you NEED to check out courage, they used to be rabidly anti-gay and then completely flip flopped, very interesting stuff.\nhttp://www.courage.org.uk/\n\nThere are also many individual American Baptist, Methodist, and Lutheran Churchs that do not think homosexuality is a problem, but those can be found on a case by case basis.\n\nHere is short booklist on gay Christians\nStranger at the Gate - By Mel White (founder of SoulForce)\nWhen We Talk about God let's be Honest - By Kirby Godsey\nThe Preacher's Son - By Marc Adams\nIs the Homosexual my Neighbor? - By Scanzoni and Mollenkott\n\nThere are also some good gay and christian websites and blogs\nhttp://www.soulforce.org/\nhttp://www.gaychristians.org/\nhttp://gayspirituality.typepad.com/blog/...\nhttp://www.gaychristian.net/\nhttp://www.whosoever.org/\nhttp://www.gaychristianblog.com/...\nhttp://www.christiangays.com/\nhttp://www.gaychristianonline.org/...\nhttp://religion.gaynewsblog.net/...\nhttp://www.familyacceptance.com/...\nhttp://www.exgaywatch.com/blog/index.htm...\n\nThere are even gay Christian personals:\nhttp://www.gayharmony.net/

wow, that's, WOW. where did you hear that?  I actually live very close to disney, and know many many people that work there. i have been there during "Gay days" though it was coincicidence. I saw alot of red shirts, and some intersting people, but NEVER anything lewd.  Being  local makes you very aware that disney does anything and everything to uphold their standards and reputation. they would NEVER allow anything illegal on their property, trust me, i would never be aware of all the inside info, if i didnt live here, like i said you have so many friends that work there, they talk and they know.\nand i have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.\nif your information was correct, i would have to agree w/ your horror, but i would look into you source. keep me posted if you will,\nrespectfully,\nprego.\n\nSonsofthunder i must say, reading your words,\n"gay haters" & "gay lovers" i found that stated quite interestingly. should we be divided as Christians because some of us have a stronger need to accept those whos paths have differed from ours, just because we dont understand their love, and would rather focus on the acts they perform in their bedroom, than where their hearts lie? That is truly for God to judge. You say that Jesus loves their soul, i just think we need to think about how he would treat them.  If our hearts, as the arms of God, are not open to those who need him most, how will they ever feel they could possibly be accepted.  You must know there are so many homosexuals that find the Lord, and if you truly believe in ministering to others if its your calling, you can not judge or stereotype. people stereotype all walks of life, and understandingly despise some of their stereotypical behavior, however you must keep in mind, these human beings may not be where you are in your walk, grew in different soil, and who are we to think that they may never be, a faithful man or woman in Christ? as a minister they may be looking to you to understand themselves better. How can you categorize people based soley on their\nsexual desires, without looking into an individuals heart? Like pediphiles and homosexuals, when they fall into 2 different categories. categorizing them  together will only provoke a lot of defensive reactions. I respect and understand that we must follow the word, i just think we need to think about our approach. The things that the young bucks dont know about? you can trust me, i know, i am neither a young buck nor have i lived a sheltered life, i just find myself looking at the heart first, and trying to understand on an individual basis, why their soul is filled with what it is.\nThis is one of the best websites i have found on understanding the psychological aspects of homosexuality. \nhttp://www.pureintimacy.org/gr/getting_started/\nit is Christian based and in no way condones homosexuality.\nI believe if we can help people understand what they are feeling, they can start to heal, instead of finger pointing "nasty perverted sinner" in their face. as far as pediphiles do go, they are truly and deeply psychologically hurting people and ruining lives. My grandfather molested my mother for years and shes very mentally unstable, and chronically depressed from the anger and feelings shes had to deal with, even now at 67, shes still affected. my grandfather was not gay. he was a pediphile, and though i believe it is a very serious and sick disease, i believe with God and God only ALL things are possible, it would be ultimatley up to him to forgive either way, no matter what the sin. \nWe all want to make the world a better place, and spread Gods word, and Jesus' love for us....and we all may approach from different angles, we just need to think about who we might be hurting.

Just because you are a "pastor" (and mind you, the Episcopal church will accept anyone these days--despite lack of adherance to the fundamental teaching of the Bible) doesn't make you saved in the end. The tree is known by its fruit, and God shall judge accordingly. Yes, he has the freedom to speak, and by his words we can see his agenda--it is very clear.\n\nSo which is better? To be politically correct or biblically correct? It seems that Pastor H. Reed has chosen the way of the world--and we know its destiny.

Pwerhaps it's the lure of the pretty little chapel and all, maybe we need atheist wedding chapels in all cities these days. \n\nI don't mind where I wed my gay partner when we decide to go through with it, as it's only been an option since last December here in Britain ...we are not rushing into it all of a sudden just because civil marriage is suddenly available to us, now it's an option we can think about it.

well, the gay thing rules out my first choice, a church, but u could get involved in the community. Join an organization in the town, there is bound to be at least one lesbian in the town.

Absolutely. Anyone can belong to a fundamental new testament church. God's view is the same of us all - we're all flawed but he loves us more deeply than my words could ever say.

I dont know much about Rev. Sun Moon but from the little I have heard, it's not a Church I would recommend you to join. Some people have said it's a cult hiding in the name of a church.  Someone also approached me and my hubby once in a restaurant selling jewerly and we just told him politely that we were not interested.

ToLiveIsToExplore,\nIt true, and I am glad that you noticed. The Laws of before were to illustrate different things, especially having to do with Christ in His relationship to sin, and the human relationship to God. You put way too much down that I want to go through right now, so I'll keep it short, (I'm moving right now).\n\nHomosexuality is not a special sin. It is covered by the blood of Jesus just like any other. So people don't go to Hell for being Gay, rather they go to hell for not trusting God through Jesus Christ.\n\nSo if you are Gay, be Gay and trust God to fulfill His promises. So the focus isn't on sinning, it's about trusting God.\n\nWhy do some Christians bring it up all the time? Because they are not taught the truth. They believe that certain people are worse sinners than they are. And that's a bad attitude. Their pastors are sinning everytime that message is brought by them to the congregation.

there is actually a british anglican church in downtown hamburg, although I forget its name.  I went there for Christmas.  It is near the "Michel" which is a famous German church in Hamburg.
