P
oh the moral outrage.
we love to force homosexuality to the top of the list. of course G-d hates sexual sins.
but they're not even on this particualr list:
These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
a proud look. huh. and lying. and shedding innocent blood. does a man have to pull the trigger to be guilty? or just vote for the war party knowing what it means?

I was baptized and raised in the Mennonite church, but I will not take for granted all that is taught, I still grip the Bible, and I do not agree with gay priesthood. not that I hate them, I still love them and pray that they repent.
The church is not my savior so the teachings of the church is not my guidance, bible is.

I doubt I could ever be associated with a church that was not a "welcoming" church. But it is the celebration of homosexual relations that is a real problem to me. Many churches seem to have "straight guilt" (akin to White Guilt) when it comes to gay couples. They treat them as almost celebrities. I guess, in an attempt to show the world how open-minded they are.
I do have a very hard time with that, and even had a good talk with my preacher and his wife, just yesterday, about this very thing at our church.
