I wasn't equating the two at all. I am sorry if that's how it read to you.What I meant is that there are many, many people of all stripes who are hurting and they come to church looking for some peace and serenity.
I hate that our church has been, on many occasions, exclusive rather than inclusive.
I was only trying to say that if we kept telling people to keep coming back maybe they would find the peace that we all seek.
In addition, I do not believe that LGBT people need to "change" in regards to their sexuality. They are as God made them and my God makes no mistakes.
I hope that clarifies what I was trying to convey. I truly meant no condensation.
BTW, this is why I stopped commenting for a good while.
