“More than half of members of the United Methodist Church, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Anglican Church, the United Church of Christ and The Episcopal Church say homosexuality is a way of life that should be accepted by society.”

Don’t surprise me. The majority of their members who still believe in the Bible left long ago for other denominations or independent practice.

One sin which is REPEATEDLY and IN DETAIL condemned again and again in the Old Testament by God Himself is homosexuality and other sexual aberrations.

Morality isn’t really determined by majority vote. If it was, God wouldn’t have given us a Bible.

It is condemned in the New Testament too. Yet repentant homosexuals can be saved, as it says, “And such were some of you.”

I quote:

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

That is 1st Corinthians 6:11.

As other posters have pointed out, it is interesting that groups of drunkards or thieves or covetous or fornicators aren’t demanding they be accepted in the church! The sin of homosexuality is peculiar that way.
