Are gays okay?

How is it reasonable for you to claim that they "knowingly make false claims" when their interpretation differs from yours? Who made you the arbiter for correct interpretation?

Who is the one to decide I am wrong?

The point of my question is in regards to the many 'openly' LGBT churches that exist.

They worship the same God and Jesus, and read the same bibles.

They must have found something that they feel is "okay" with their sexuality and the church.

Jesus told you to love your neighbour and the bible itself that it isn't down to you to judge your fellow man.

It is therefore not hard to understand why some churches are open to people from the LGBT community. Indeed, it is harder to understand those that aren't.

No idea how you can so consistently miss the point.

That's the point. Everyone interprets the bible in how they see fit, and think "they" are correct

When they die a vast majority will find they were wrong.

Ahem......you too!!!

Your rejection of hell is a prime example.

On the whole, the Bible is widely open to interpretation. You keep creating threads like this as if that's going to change. Why don't you simply accept it?

That is for God to decide, not you.

Everyone is free to express opinion but only a very small group actually expresses the truth.

Those who hold opinions in opposition to what the Bible states are obviously wrong. No amount of claims to interpretation will save them.

Then the bible is a joke.

The proof is that nobody can agree on its meaning.

God did evil things in the OT. Everyone ignores it because of Jesus and the NT.

The bible is very much flawed.

Possibly, but you are definitely out.
