I've understood the idea of condemning it in the Bible. And never taking it out.
You want your congregations to grow. Every member is another head and another income. And if you said, "Gay is fine, we don't mind. Do what you do." Then, the future of your church is in jeopardy, because 3 generations from now... you might not have members... or enough to support you. The way I figure, it came down to money.
These days, you've got people so worked up about being gay.
It says you shouldn't be in the Bible, I get it. But it doesn't seem to me that it should still be there. I don't know about this whole "word of god" thing works, but for me, it was still written by man. And it is corruptable. Same with the Qur'an. Men have translated them. You don't know who these men were, they're not in the credits.
But, then there's faith.
And you scary people who believe god is talking to you.
One thing is clear to me, there are plenty of church leaders who are gay, and have gotten in trouble for soliciting gay sex. There are politicians who are gay, and have gotten in trouble for soliciting gay sex. There are men and women who do nothing but preach to you harder, because they're fighting with their natural urges. But denying you're gay? Just reaffirms that you're gay.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Soliciting sex in the bathroom? There's definitely something wrong with that.
That's disgusting.
