  • Essay / Homosexuality and the Christian Church - 2159

    Homosexuality and the Christian ChurchIn today's Christian Churches a very controversial topic has arisen, which has been developing for many years and which is today at the forefront of controversial church-related issues. The issue at hand is homosexuality and the Christian Church. This controversy caused a split between the Church into two different beliefs, liberal and evangelical, which is right and which is wrong? Questions such as whether homosexuals should speak out loud in church? If so, how involved should they be? And above all, what does God have to say about homosexuality? These are difficult questions raised by a difficult problem and the only way to resolve these questions with absolute and unquestionable authority is to consult the Holy Bible and seek God's truth on homosexuality. Should homosexuals be allowed in the church? The answer to this question is a resounding yes. They should be allowed to enter the church. The sin of heterosexuals is like that of homosexuals, and the sin of homosexuality is just as damning as any other sin committed by heterosexuals. Now, what do I mean by sin? Sin is everything that separates us from God. Sin goes against God's will and keeps us from knowing God the Father. This is why homosexuals should not be banned from coming to church. They should be accepted by Christians with the loving arms that Christ showed us. For many gay people, the world today is not a very friendly and loving place. They face all kinds of prejudice, misunderstanding, and hatred from the straight world, and the Church is the last place they should find that opposition – to an extent. However, as Christians we must draw the line one way or another... middle of paper ... is going to church, intending to become a member, living forever in his sin and not changing his habits. It is evident that they continue to defile themselves by mocking God's laws and that they have no right to be members of the Church family that strives to obey its creator and They should then be asked to leave. Because when someone is caught in sin, but is unwilling to change, they are in direct rebellion against God and a danger to the Church. This rule of the Church applies not only to homosexuality, but to all sins. So those who smugly think that homosexuality is a horrible sin, worse than that of greed, spreading false rumors or drunkenness, had better think twice. God has not changed, nor has His response to all sin. No more, no less, he despises it, but desperately wants to help those who want his help: those who admit their sin and want to stop.
