This commentary has to be taking this turn because you are women. Your moral equivalency, while laudable in its secular humanism, is the voice of apostate religion. You, me , we, cannot change BIBLICAL DOCTRINE to suit our PERSONAL TASTES or the IMMORALITY of this laissez faire WORLD. For someone to state that an ABOMINATION is not a sin is a trick of the DEVIL. ABOMINATION is the greatest level of sin and is not to be tolerated. The MOSAIC penalty for ABOMINATIONS was death by STONING. There is no room for moral equivalency here.

KISHA: I don’t believe anyone said that homosexuality wasn’t a sin.

Sexual intimacy between a man and a woman is the natural order of GOD and cannot be duplicated between same sex, with animals, or inanimate objects. That is why God calls it an ABOMINATION and DETESTABLE. Now that may not be to today's society's liking, but that is the WORD OF GOD. Who are any of us to change it.

KISHA: I totally concur with you here.

To argue that there are other sinners in the church is a specious argument. Of course, all men are born in sin and remain so til death, but a Church is not serving its purpose as a HOUSE of GOD if it blatantly promtes SIN. Having an active, gay couple so prominent as members means that your message is fruitless. If there is no way to overcome the sin of Homosexuality and such ABOMINATIONS are CELEBRATED and ADVERTISED, why should anyone in there conform to ANY sound BIBLICAL DOCTRINE? If it feels good do it. It is a very feeble argument to base the strength of your position on the fact that "other people sin". So what!!! Does that excuse yours? Does that minimize yours? Or does it just salve your conscience and allows you to continue in sin knowing that you don't "judge" others....because of course we know that when we judge others, we judge ourselves.

KISHA: I have to disagree with you here. I don’t have much time, but I will say. Christ hates the sin and loves the sinner. We all sin and fall short be it fornication, homosexuality, lying, stealing, etc. That’s why we are saved by grace. I don’t think that a church is promoting sin if it baptizes a homosexual. That’s like saying the church is promoting murders if a murderer is baptized. Our business is to be about Kingdom business, winning souls to Christ. It is through Christ and the applied word of God that leads to life change. Our responsibility is to share the good news of Jesus, it is up to the individual to decide whether or not they are going to follow God’s ways or not. I’m not making light of the sin. However, sinners need Jesus too!

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a fornicator, and if I burn in hell, it will be because I earned it, but I damn sure won't absolve mine or anyone elses sins to minimize my own. The WORD says what it says and it is not to be changed to suit man's conscience. It may FEEL GOOD to be welcoming and tolerant, but it is WRONG to
