Ok, first things first: To Gypsy and Hezekiah
Guys, guys. We are on the same team here. Remember? We are all in the blood of Christ. For the argument you two are going off of, there should be a difference in showing God's love and protecting. In Jude it talks about reaching into the fire and how NOT to get burned because of it. Basic idea, and I'm sure you both know this, it is about saving others and how not to get any contamination on you from it. It is fine to take precautions but that certainly doesn't mean you abandon them. I wouldn't want to be around some of my more 'worldly' friends without a Christian companion around simply because I know myself; I would fall to their sin. Now, I'm not sure if the comparison works but with the child molester concept there is nothing wrong with trying to protect your kids, at least, in my opinion. But you still have to love the molester as Christ would and treat him as you would want to be treated. Does that make sense? All the same, not the real topic here.
To all who replied with the basic idea "Only Christian in name" or "They really don't understand what Christ would have wanted":
You all make a lot of sense. I would agree that a lot of Christians would put sin attached to homosexuals and thus (because it is obviously such a TERRIBLE sin) kinda excommunicate them. Thanks for the input!
To ZebraHug: I understand Christians are ripped all the time. I totally understand that. The whole Chik-fil-a gig showed that quite well. However, honestly, it would still be a problem if only ONE Christian group kicked out gays just because they felt like it because that in tale usually puts people like you and I in the accusing lot. So, I don't plan to take a holier than thou attitude and say "Oh, SO many of you do this..." but rather I want to know why my Christian family would ever want to turn someone away from the name of Christ.
To all: The question is a little bit personal, and I'd like to find a good remedy if possible. No, I'm not homosexual but I have a good friend who is and he was knocked out of his youth group not because anybody told him to leave, but because the attitude of the church was so condemning in general that he just assumed they would hate him. He left shortly thereafter. So, in my mind, it is kinda like the scene in the movie Cars when Lightning McQueen mutters something about "rusty old cars" in front of his newly made friend Mater. Mater replies "What's wrong with rusty old cars?" since he is one and that kind of hurt his feelings. Lightning quickly makes amends by saying "Not like you Mater! I like you." So, I want to know why people only look at the stereotypical instead of looking at the face of someone they could care for as a brother or sister in the name of Christ. That's why I want to know why. I want to know why because I have friends who won't go to church because they find my family condemning... which, sometimes we are.
