I did notice at the new website there is a link that takes one here:

<a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.cathedralofhope.com/homosexuality/index.php">http://www.cathedralofhope.com/homosexuality/index.php</a>

I totally agree that homosexuals are not excluded in Christian love and they are deserving of being ministered to and should not be shut out of the church. However, much of the rest of the link is devoted to convoluting matters and seeking to excuse homosexuality as if it is okay. Homosexuality is no lesser or greater sin than other sin...but it is sin...does any bible believeing person question that? One does not make excuses about murder, adultrey, stealing or idol worship or other unGodly acts...does one do so with homosexuality? Of course, this site starts out by saying some like the bible (scripture) is a basis for the Christain lifestyle (or somehting like that) then immediately qualifies it by saying something to the effect that it is not the whole basis for it, as if it can be qualified by man's interpretation or application in life. I just don't get that. Sccripture is God breathed, isn't it? Do we need to correct God or qualify Him with interpretation or application. Does the Bible transcend all time or is it only true in one period of man's existence? Can it be cherry picked to fit comfortably into what one wants or desires? Well. This did bother me and I thought I should mention it. Yes. Do hate the sin. But love the sinner. That's is God's commandment. But it doesn't mean rationalizing matters to excuse them or make them okay as if to say there is no problem with the sin or everything is all right when it is not. Does this make sense?
