Should she be shunned from a church because she did follow the laws of the Bible and have sex with her husband? I hope we can see the bigger picture here and realize that it's not the fault of the church that people go astray, but the church has the power to turn these people's lives around with information and accpetance.

Where did this interpretation come from?
I know what I said was in no way akin to your thoughts. The premise of both articles was faulty. What the "Church" teaches would prevent AIDS in every scenario that they discussed except for the innocent wife of a down low husband. The Church's job is not to teach people to safely fornicate or to mainstream homosexuality..
The "church" as I know has aids ministries and the 3 gay men in my church choir were never shunned when they got sick. They were prayed for and ministered to and visited in the hospital. This was in the early '90's.
I. nor AXEAM was pointing fingers or assessing blame on gays. Whether we fornicate or not is not the issue. The issue is whether the "Church" is responsible for the irresponsible lifestyle and choices of people who are not adhering to their teachings in the first place. everything that the "Church" teaches, prevents AIDS.
