will baptist churches soon have gay ministers?

[Merrill]

If ever and I mean ever in my lifetime the Baptist allowed homosexuality in the church Yes absolutely I would leave the church to never return.

Mr. Griffin,
I took those insulting and judgemental emails you sent me accusing me of being a whore monger and chasing the sisters around my church to my pastor. He also agreed that you had no right not as a person or as a Christian to accuse me of such things when you don't even know me or have never been to my church. The things you said to me in your emails were very unchristian of you but I will forgive you for those things. If anyone here wants to see those emails I can post them here for all to read. You did not hurt me with your cruel words but left me in shock as I am none of those things you accused me of. I live an exemplary life and am not a whore monger or do I chase the sisters around in my church. I almost left this site because of you but after recieving so many support letters I have decided to stay for the duration. Praise the Lord.....

Jamal, I had lunch with a home school mom last week who moved from S.C. Her previous pastor and family had moved away unexpectedly and sent a registered letter saying they were divorcing because he is gay. He's now living in Atlanta with a 'partner'. His wife and children moved back hom. I'm afraid families and churches are being torn apart everywhere.

Diane,

Your message points to the questions no one will answer for me. If homosexuality is so "right" and homosexuals are so "sure" they can be gay and "christian," then why is this issue tearing so many Churches, Christian families, and Society apart?

Why Don't the weaker brother admonitions in Romans and Corinthians apply to "christian homosexuals?"

Folks, you don't seem to follow the "New Policy" on posting topics containing sexual material. You have violated the posting rules by offering "sex" as a topical discussion outside of the password-protected forums. In this case see the offending word: homosexual...
