At some point the pastor ought to mention that ALL forms of sexual immorality are destructive.I say let them go to church but tell them what they are doing is wrong, how the church is going to forbid every sinner from entering?
If you bar homosexuals, don't you have to bar all other sinners?
And divorced, remarried pastors - but I'm not just talking about pastors.Are there any unmarried pastors living in sin?

Only those professing to be a Christian. Paul gives a few in 1 Corintians 5
11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person.
12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13 But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”
It was a bit of a surprise to post the thread, and then come back in less than two hours later and see there were five pages of responses.I wonder how long it will be until this thread is removed.
That quote is about the wife of one's father, not about homosexuality.
But they are still brother . Can still come to worship God .
Church back then would meet daily to eat bread not like us once a week for one hour , so that punishment was a good design to keep people from immoral stuff .
I'd rather not have a homosexual pastor. How would you know he was homosexual unless he flaunted it?I don't mind having transgender pyro-fox unicorn in church but not as pastor or bishop , cuz God said they should be husband of one wife so no woman and no gay/lesbian .
Better do a copy-and-paste before there is a thread deletion. This topic seems to be a general no-no.It was a bit of a surprise to post the thread, and then come back in less than two hours later and see there were five pages of responses.
Are you saying that have to stop being a homosexual BEFORE being saved? And they have to be saved in order to come to church to learn of the gospel?
To me the issue is a pastor going in front of the congregation and stating, or insinuating, that homosexuality is not a sin. That drives me up the wall.It has to do with PROFESSION of faith.

It's a huge issue in the United Methodist Church, as I mentioned in my first post. It was meant for United Methodists, though I'm enjoying reading all these responses.Better do a copy-and-paste before there is a thread deletion. This topic seems to be a general no-no.

No I never said that , you said that sinners should come to churches .
Salvation is free as I quoted Romans to you aswell not by fulfilling law by you because you can't do that .
Also said that transgenders should come to church but not as leaders / pastors / bishops .
