In reply to Matt.

Technically Matt, you are correct about the use of the term Homosexual. In my experience, there is generally no distinction attempted or made by the media when reporting on issues affecting Homosexuals in this regard. This may be the root of the problem that you identify.

Yes, we definitely do want Homosexuals in church. But, we don't call them Homosexuals. We call them sinners, just like everyone of us. We are all sinners together confessing our sins and receiving full forgiveness of our sins. Once our sins are forgiven, we don't continue to bear the title of our sins or even our temptations. Instead, we all bear the title of saints. We are no longer adulterers, pedophiles, etc. Christians who struggle with the temptation, or sin for that matter, of Homosexuality shouldn't identify themselves as Homosexuals. Doing so, implies a certain acceptance or contentment, or even commitment, with the temptation or sin that I believe to be in error.
