You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do [the] work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.Are YOU doing this? Or would you rather exalt hatred and turn this man away?

I'm getting more interested in Christianity, and giving it much much more credit then i used too. But homophobia in church really bugs me, i hate how in scotland the churches campaign against homosexuality. Its glorified school bullying, pathetic.

I'm sure you've figured out that Robbie Carrobie is one of this forums most vocal homophobes and hypocrites.
If you aren't already aware of it, because the Bible is littered with conflicting and contrary teachings, there are many different denominations with widely varying beliefs.
I suggest that you find a denomination or church that supports the following:
1) gay rights
2) gay clergy
3) gay marriage
4) the belief that homosexuality is not a sin

Just don't get me started on the ACNA.
-Removed-It is a subject many are sensitive to.
I know there is a market for "cutting-edge" humor about such topics, but it is a thin line, much like Tarentino getting away with including multiple references to "the N-word" in his movies.
BTW, people who happen to be homosexual are as entitled to seek out God as anybody.

-Removed-Those "large segments of Christendom" who do not similarly condemn the wearing of garments made of more than one type of fiber or the eating of shellfish, who do not believe that women should be silent in the church, etc. show themselves to be the hypocrites that they are.
