SAME SEX MARRAIGE?

Rom 1:25-27
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.NIV** Ok…. So does it get any more plain than this? I just don’t understand when it is written so clear in scripture and not only in the old testament but here in the new testament that same sex relationships are evil in the sight of God…. Now don’t get me wrong and yes there are plenty of other sins we people can get ourselves into but in the bible, God’s anger is more elevated when there is homosexuality than any other sin. The problem is, people think that the church hates homosexuals and that is not true. The church should always have a heart to love the sinner but hate the sin. So should the church allow homosexuals to attend? I’m not sure that a homosexual would really want to attend a church that is preaching and teaching the pure word of God because sooner or later, if the homosexual has not turned from the lifestyle, they will be offended because the word of God continually speaks against it. As a pastor I would treat a homosexual the same as anyone who comes in with a habitual sin attached to their lives. If they (anyone with a habitual sin) are not in some way working at cleansing their lives from this sin (whatever it may be), they will need to move on….. sound harsh? Then read 1 cor 5 and Paul sets the example of how sin is to be treated in the church. I’m sure I’ve opened a can of worms today but this is where our country is right now.
