We started a small gay Church in central Florida called " The Church of Jesus"
We have about 35 people a week joining our church services to preach the love of the lord Jesus Christ.
My goal is about 57 Gay Churches throughout the state of FLorida, Georgia, and Alabama.
We Welcome all gay couples and their famlies.

thats tough. cause the bible speaks strongly against supporting sin. you can encourgae them to leave their sin behind them. but definitley all churches should accept all people cause we all sin. but a church should not support such sin. cause the bible is clear about it. you cannot support sin. churches are supposed to encourgae people to turn from sin not encourage it. i encourgae you to seek God and the bible and the truth to be revealed to you.

This is a very sensitive area to dwell in. How can you promote this "Church of Jesus" if it says in Ephesians 5:3 "But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people." That scripture is relevant even in a "non-gay" church and it still stands. But, by you saying the church is solely for "G & L" people then I hope you are trying to tell them the truth about repentence in the bible. Please don't conduct each service by dodging key scriptures. Thanks.

You just have to get God to delete stuff like:
"Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. "
out of the bible.
No sin need to be in Church! =-)

Homosexuals who are trying to live a chaste life and live according to the teachings of Christ are already welcome in the Church Christ founded. For homosexuals who have chosen to give in to the temptations caused by their disorder, there is no church which can lead you to salvation, so why bother?
