But you are focussing on one aspect of an individuals life and using it to build a whole oppressive structure. It is very selective. For example. Ive watched a lot of these tv evangelists and without exception their focus is on making money. And yet they get to condemn a whole group of people who were, basically, made in Gods image. How does that work ?Whether we go to hell is a decision Jesus makes.And because Moses smote the rock with his staff, instead of just speaking to it, God allowed him to die without stepping foot in the Promised Land. And because God disobeyed God and took a wife from another tribe...God killed her and both of Moses' children with her.Just ask Moses. Got pissed at the people, busted up the tablets and had to go back up the mountain for another copy.The bible has some very choice things to say about the so-called churches who choose to go the way of the masses, instead of the way of God.
My advice to the Methodists...don't screw around with God. There are no *exceptions* in the Word.
Its not just the Methodists though. I have already shown that Catholicism is accepting and there are many other denominations such as, Anglicans,Lutherans,Presbyterians, Episcopalians and Quakers have also welcomed gay people.
Are they all going to hell ?
Here's the thing. It's not real complicated. There are lots of sins. You know, stealing, gluttony, covetousness, bearing false witness and so on. We forgive our brothers and sisters as Jesus taught. We pray for God to lead us not into temptation. We are taught to love each other. We gather together to praise God and learn His ways.
Forgive sins. Avoid sins. Not celebrate sins. That's a rather important distinction. A distinction that has nothing whatsoever to do with hate.
