Hate Masquerading as Love

The sad irony is that the very "churches" that claim to want full inclusion of practicing LGBT persons into their fellowship/membership are the very same churches that would deny them entrance into the kingdom via the gospel. Because they have caved to the culture, fearing the opinions of men rather than God they end up hating, not loving, the precious souls of people held captive by this particular sin.

Most of our churches, including mine, include brothers and sisters who struggle with same sex attraction. According to Scripture we were all delivered from from bondage to various sin(s) from which we could not deliver ourselves (1 Cor 6:9:11). We all still fight some of these sins. That is why we need the gospel daily. We come to Jesus, the Savior, because He ALONE can deliver us from ourselves and from the sin(s) holding us captive.

The churches that do not believe this, thinking it loving to include unrepentant persons among the saints, deny the gospel and are not true churches. They pose both a danger to themselves and to others.

Dear friends, for the love of God and their souls, pray for the visible church and call these individuals to repentance.

Note: I post this because I actually run into so-called pastors on Facebook who have deceived themselves into believing that they are doing gospel-work by being "inclusive" and think antinomianism, not grace, is the answer. They end up doing harm rather than good.
