The denomination has a right to decide how it is going to live out faith in Christ. I remember being at a United Methodist annual meeting a number of years ago when the big issue was a resolution calling for non-discrimination against homosexuals in relation to property rental. Now there are homosexual pastors, weddings, and bishops in that denomination. Years ago folks talked about the struggle against Communist domination in south east Asia and espoused the domino theory. Saying that if we didn't stop the struggle in Viet Nam it would not be stopped. The theory did not prove accurate in that situation however, I believe it accurate in the area of sin. The church has no place in a dialog about the acceptability of sin. God give new hearts to those who believe in His Son the there is no desire to sin. Homosexuality is not acceptable to God and should not be to believers anymore than adultery or drunkenness. For dialog there must be compromise so does that mean that we must accept homosexuality. If so then should the church accept murder, adultery, thievery, and lieing as lifestyles?

I have always had more questions than answers so I can certainly identify with Jason. I believe that God is big enough to handle our questions. A relationship does not always mean understanding. God cannot teach us if we will not listen. It seems that I always learn more when I able to ask questions. God's word says that if anyone is without wisdom let him ask and wisdom will be given. He tells not to lean on our own understanding rather to trust God.
