There are numerous parts in the Bible where homosexuality is condemned. For example, in
Leviticus 18:22, sodomy is rightfully called an "abomination." And in
1 Corinthians 6:9-10, scripture says that sodomites will not inherit the Kingdom of God. To put it another way, active homosexuals who don't repent will suffer eternal agony in the burning, fiery depths of hell.
There are some Christians who unfortunately deal with same-sex attraction, but they never act on their desires and seek the counsel of God for dealing with their immoral lust. They aren't sinning because they aren't committing sodomy despite liking those of the same gender. Most importantly, they keep their feelings to themselves.
However, a grave sin has happened within the United Methodist Church. A male UMC minister married another man! Even worse: his congregation "overwhelming supports" him and his sodomy proclivities! Read about it here:
Gay Methodist minister David Meredith, church claim victory The article talks about a UMC committee charging the queer preacher with misconduct.
What has the United Methodist Church come to? Why is a man in deep homosexual sin allowed to preach in the first place? And why on earth does his congregation support him? If I went to a religious service here at my UMC church and our minister announced that he is gay and intends to marry his sodomite lover, it would be my last time ever attending that church. I would promptly find another church to join.
