Gay pride in church

In the area we hopefully one day will move to, it is predominantly traditional Lutheran and Baptist. There is a well known Lutheran Bible Camp at the lake, where I volunteer on occasion when I'm out there. Well, they recently acknowledged lgbqt - whatever it is pride day. I'm shocked, and need to discuss it with the woman I volunteer with; but I'm thinking I can't work there any more. Welcome the sinner but shun the errant brother - right? I can see where they are in a catch-22 - turn away gays et all, get sued and lose the camp, and with it the incredible witness they've built over the decades. But wow, I never expected that. The times, they are a-later than we think.

What do you do? Accept the alphabet soup, or close the camp?

Well, this is definitely different from the wedding case. Now they’re inviting the SIN to their camp. One thing is getting a chance to preach to sinners at a wedding, but when you’re saying to the SIN: C’mon, I salute you, that’s an abomination.

Don't ask don't tell!

Good day Rickyz!

The issue that we are facing is not denying those who are LGBTQ from hearing the gospel and being saved. I would welcome any in that group who received Christ and have a repentant heart and are now wrestling to overcome that life style. However, the problem that we are having is that, those of the LGBTQ who claim to be in Christ are refusing to acknowledge this life style as sin, having no intention of repenting and that because they want to continue in it. It is this that we as Christians cannot condone or support. This is nothing short of abusing the grace of God so that they can continue living according to the sinful nature. The very fact that they have gay pride day reveals that they have no intention of repenting. Their goal is to have this same-sex life style as accepted as normal, which it will never be. Regarding this, I have been seeing more and more tv commercials depicting family events, which are including scenes where there are two men or two women with their children as a normal family. And I am sure that we will continue to see more and more of this. They're doing the same thing that science does with evolution, which is to cram it down our throats as the accepted norm.

Regarding this, I would bring to light what Paul did and said regarding the man who was sleeping with his father's wife, his step mom. Expel the immoral brother! He had handed him over to Satan for the destruction of the sinful nature. After awhile and after he and those who were proud of his actions had repented, he said to receive him back again into the church as a brother. Unfortunately, that is not the case here, because for the most part they have no intention of repenting. They want to claim Christ while continuing in the flesh.

Yes, you are correct, "The times, they are a-later than we think."

Isnt that Pentecost, some churches celebrate with white sunday (everyone dresses in white) or bible day. Theres also christmas day, which contrary to the secular world, can be celebrated in a christian way. How about pancake day?

At some point we will all have to chose to make a stand on the truth and make no mistake... /QUOTE]
@dcontroversal Look at #15-19 on this thread. People want to grumble and moan about gay pride but suggest standing up for christian pride and silence.
