So let me see if I have this logic right... Homosexuality, you believe, is a sin. You don't believe you should evangelize to those who are homosexual because of the sin you believe they are living in and refusing to give up.
So... you don't preach to anyone living in any kind of sin? Someone with a drug addiction doesn't need to hear the Good News and be helped out of their problems, even if right now they don't think they need it? It's a waste of time to try to convince them otherwise?

So no sinners attend your church? Must be a small congregation.

Polycarp, Christians are not silenced. They're lazy. Just because the very minimal effort doesn't get the word out doesn't mean the world is persecuting us. Christianity is the largest and LEAST persecute religion in developed countries and yet it is THERE where Christians complain most about being persecuted. Yet in countries where being Christian is illegal, there are no complainers. There are no whiners. People know that with Christianity there will be dangers and they accept that. Instead of whining about the very thing that the Bible warns them about, they continue to stay faithful.
So don't even start to say Christians are being "silenced" while you sit on your computer talking about how we shouldn't evangelize to certain sects of people. We're told to go out into the WHOLE world and to even suggest the idea that we have ANY right to be selective it sick.
your premise seems to be that no Christians ARE gay.
your premise seems to be that all people who are not "straight" live a particular "lifestyle"
Both of these ideas are of course incorrect.
In any case when it comes to evangelization nobody should push their beliefs on someone who has made it clear they are not interested in hearing what you have to say.

Of course there are homosexual Christians; however, they are repentant of their deeds and not trying to flaunt them or promote them as righteous (though if such is the case at times, I do feel the GOD will intervene and end their lives abruptly). I know of several incidences where this seemed to happened. And of course there are heterosexuals who are peculiar in regards to their sex lives.

You seem to know every gay Christian in the world... how awesome it must be to be God.

So God kills gay Christians now? I dont think Ive seen such revolting offensive filth spewed forth from the orofice of hatred in a long time.
Our children are too important to us to be silenced any more.
If your kid's gay, your kid's. There ain't much you can do about it.
As for simply keeping your children away from the idea that a sin might be ok, I'd point out that owning two shirts when someone else has no shirt is a shirt. How many shirts do your kids own?

L-N,
You need to rethink your statements. These people will jump all over you for stuff like that. They're "Gotcha!" experts.

That would not be in keeping with my premise that the New Testement writers talked about same-gender sex and found it antithetical (for the choice they've made) for believers to engage in.

I'm just discussing GLBT's. Not all people for sure. Even they claim to be a very small fragment of the populace.
Both of these ideas are of course incorrect.
The way you thought about it.
In any case when it comes to evangelization nobody should push their beliefs on someone who has made it clear they are not interested in hearing what you have to say.
