Can a person be both gay and Christian? Absolutely! But will he/she be held guiltless for living in sin? Definitely not! Being gay (i.e. being attracted to and desiring someone of the same sex) ) is not in and of itself a sin. But living a homosexual lifestyle IS a sin. Is alcoholism a sin? No. But the abuse of alcohol (i.e. drunkenness) is.

I will never condemn someone who is gay, but neither will I hesitate to call out him/her if he/she is living in sin, just as I would to anyone living in sin--whether it is abusing alcohol, carrying on an affair, or shoplifting. Sin is sin, no matter what name it is called by or who may declare it legal.

Gay people and their supporters just can't seem to understand the "love the sinner, hate the sin" concept.

Pastor Harrison, your letter brought great comfort and encouragement to my heart. God bless you!
