| The Religious Debate about Homosexuals In the Church.
As a Christian, I understand what the Bible says about homosexuals. It clearly states that Christians should not indulge themselves in anything that can be considered homosexual. And yet it also states to love the sinner and hate the sinner. So where, as Christians, do we draw the line? The issue of excepting homosexuals into the church, and even allowing them to become leaders, is controversial. What I think is homosexuals, and any sinner (because we are all sinners) should be accepted into the church. Allowing homosexuals into a leadership position should not be allowed because a leader needs to show that they are following Christ's word. Being homosexual is going against His word. I am not against homosexuals and do not wish to descriminate against them. I just think that any violator (ie: adulterer, having premerital sex, or anything like that) should not be allowed into a leadership role. The people who should be allowed into those roles, should be people who follow the Bible's teaching to the best of their ability. If we did not draw the line here, where would we draw it? What would be considered right or wrong then? |
