LGBT in church?

Question

OK, so before we scratch out each other's throats, I simply want to know what an average day Christian thinks about this issue. I am a Christian as well and my stance is no because of what I've found in scripture and what I've studied from it. But I also understand there is a huge rise in tolerance for the LGBT community in churches. What is your opinion? Should we embrace the community or reject the concept from our sanctuaries?

I want to clarify that, although I am against what the LGBT's lifestyle I do love them and respect them as human beings, as God's creations, and I do invite them to church to hopefully truly experience the love and renewing spirit of Christ.

Answer

I'm a big supporter of "hate the sin, love the sinner". Even if I may not approve of something someone does it does not give me the right to judge them or to think less of them for their life decisions. I personally have several gay/lesbian/bisexual friends and they're some of the best people I've ever known. I think we should love people for their personalities and who they are and let God sort out the rest.

Answer

Letting them in the church is different than approving of their sexuality. If you don't let them in the church then how will they hear about the love Christ has for them? Jesus was friends with the prostitures. He wants a relationship with the gays too.

Answer

Anyone should be allowed in any churches as long as they want to connect and love Christ. All of us sin. No one should be pushed away from Christ just because they commit a certain sin.

Answer

My church teaches that being homosexual, and having those feelings is not a sin and is how God made them, but that their same sex attractions are their burden in this life and a trial to over come because while simply being gay is not a sin acing on those feelings is. We don't belive that they can be "Fixed" or "Changed" because there is nothing wrong with them we just need to help them hold on to the lords word and not act on those feelings. Because they will be greatly blessed in heaven.

Answer

We must pray for thise who identify as LGBTQ+. We do not have to accept their lifestyle, just as we do not accept anyone's sins. But they should be shown the same love and respect that we should show all who are created in the image of God. We must pray for them and hope that they struggle against their sins as we struggle against our own

Answer

Answer

Being gay is not a sin cmon guys can't we all just celebrate and share God's love

Answer

Everyone sins. Sin is sin. You can't keep someone out just because their sin is more visible than yours.

Answer

Okay, I wasn't sure of the difference between "nothin wrong with bein gay" and "accept them in" but I made a decision. I don't think there is anything wrong with someone's sexual preference, and I'm a Catholic who goes to mass weekly and participates in youth group. To me, I take the approach that it's your brain and it's your heart, you do you.

Answer

Let them in the church obvi they deserve God's love all the same. It's kinda silly that we think this question is up to us. (Just want to say that I support every member of the LGBTQ+ community, and that this app, as well as church should be a safe space for everyone #loveislove)
