Thanks, i watched halfway to the point where he explains it. I see no problem with this. He understands that there are people who will want to get help, but he hits to the core of help in sin. Man can't forgive your sin. Man cant change your attachment to sin. Only god can. Wanting to get salvation from a man is catholic heathen talk. He has taken the stance of a vanguard preacher in a spiritual war. I would look at it as a doctor choosing to tend to the wounded away from the battle field and men on the front lines fighting. You wouldnt have the doctors on the front line fighting.

If I was asked to choose how to run a church, I would probably take some of his stance. I would want to be a preacher that is feared, as that would be capitalising on some of my strengths. However the only time I would think to block someone was if they openly were vocal and brag about their sin. Free speech is dangerous and the last thing I would want is the weak members of my church to hear such things. Which is the problem of modern church systems. Which makes this littlw hypothetical excersise irrelevant. I dont like the modern church system.

Free speech may be dangerous but not having it is more dangerous.

Sorry, but allowing people to advocate and advertise the advantages of sin, is not something that you should be supporting. It is this very mind set that has caused the west to fall as it is now.

Just some examples form the bible.

Proverbs 8:13 The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.

And one from the new testament.

1 John 3:8 ESV Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.

To allow people to spread the merit of sin, is to allow the devil to do his work. And you know, that by supporting this, you are supporting the devil.

for your reference.

Your reading a whole lot from one line.

People have free will, so they have free speech- we should not be taking away either. We should be setting examples of how we should act and speak though.

A church should not turn away anyone but should always speak God's truth and that will probally turn people away but the church should not compromise just to fill seats- and many do these days. My pastor is not afraid to say homosexuality is a sin. He also says we should love the person and not the sin. Now there are more of ways to love someone but I don't think saying they can't hear you speak God's word is one of them.
I'm sure there might be a time to ask someone to leave a chuch but a blanket statement that no homosexuals are allowed and beyond that even if they want to change their ways and be saved they can't. Well I don't think that way of thinking is what Christ wanted and definitely not what he died for, since he died for all of us and all our sins.
