"All Are Welcome?"

I have gone here before, but I feel like I need to do so once again. As a matter of fact a couple of people have asked me.

This past week, the United Methodist Church voted not to allow "Gay Marriages" by their clergy.

I know some of you are thrilled by this fact.

Somehow you are thinking that homosexuality is a worse sin than all the others.

I am not sure why your looking at pornography......Or the fact you are now on husband or wife number 2-3-4.....Or you are having an affair....... Or you gossip like mad..... Or you lust after a bigger, better house, or truck or whatever( Commandment 10).....And I am not even going to talk about the other "Gods" you worship, money, drink, that new truck......And the churches are full of these folks.

I don't know why you are a "better" sinner.

I don't know where you want people to go...Or where to worship......Or just what because of their lives.

I know some of you think being gay is lifestyle. I don't. I know men and women that could have people of the opposite sex just swooning, and they do, they are that gorgeous.....But they like their same sex.

They can't pray it away, they cannot "date" it away.....I know, many have tried. They have told me so....It is just the way they are, like having green eyes, or being left handed.

If we are going to be Christian, we have to accept all.

I wonder if our exclusion might be a sin we  can't lose?
