All sinners are welcome in my church. Just don’t expect us to affirm your sin and pretend it’s alright.

A church that isn’t calling sinners to repentance isn’t doing its job.

I want to be careful how I say this.

But, radical/activist homosexuals, also tend to be irreligious.

Trying to say, he should not have expected some ground swell of new homosexual members.

But on the other hand, should have anticipated some criticism from existing members. And in the worst case, attrition of members who don’t abide the new policy if the church.

Most churches I know of follow the same course; love the sinner, hate the sin and all that. But if I'm reading this article correctly the church is in trouble for even allowing gay people to be members.

They always leave out the “go and sin no more” part.

Amen. All are welcome, but the Word will be preached. Without the Truth of Jesus there can be no redemption.

I believe the response from Yeshua to sinners was, “Go and sin no more.”

Modern liberal congregations have forgotten repentance for sin, forgiveness of sin, and the resulting turn from your sin and “sinning no more.”

They have replaced it with “love conquers all” and all is acceptable. Continue in your sins, for nothing can be called sin.
