That's easy - churches are MAN made. That is why we have so many denominations, etc. A church is usually formed because of someone's opinion. God Himself is AGAINST MANY of the chuches today as they do not submit to His will and are not led by the Holy Spirit of His Word.
The gay church is MAN made. It is CLEAR in scripture that homosexuality is an ABOMINATION to God.
Next please...

They exist ONLY as a subversion to the will and word of God! I assure you, God doesn't ordain such things, for if homosexuality were OK, then we'd all worship together as one body, for there'd be NO NEED for a "gay church." Remember, God called homosexuality an "abomination," so I don't think He'd accept worship from a people who don't fully respect His Law. I'm no saint, but I DO know what God said about the practice of homosexuality. He DESTROYED Sodom and Gomorrah over this and other perverted issues, so I suppose He's "tolerating" these churches in hopes of seeing a reconciliation between these people and Himself. Besides, how could he die for all our sins, then let their sins still exist? If he were to condone these church members' practices, His sacrifice would've been a waste of time! The Scripture says "What communion hath light with darkness.....?" In other words, how can He die for their sins, (bringing light) yet allow something HE CONDEMNED (homosexuality as an ABOMINATION, or darkness) remain part of their personal relationship with Him?

Because the bible also says there will be false prophets etc....
Just because most of Christendom says one thing like doing great things and such,, Jesus said Lord Lord did we not do great things in your name? Of course Jesus told them to get away....
So it is quite obvious that true Christians take the bible as Gods word. Might i add that it is interesting that Christendom and all its splinter churches what ever they may be are involved in traditional pagan, wiccan, and national holidays that they celebrate. If the bible remains truthful as it has done the past some 4,000 years or more, then it will be a sight to see when false religion gets destroyed. And eventually all wicked persons that include persons that choose homosexuality.

Just because they exist does not mean they have God's approval.Just as priests who claim to represent God molest children would not have God's approval.
The Bible condemns many immoral practices but they are still performed even in religious circles.
Jesus called the religious leaders of his day "hypocrites".I'm sure the same can be said today.
It is up to each of us to search for the true religion that preaches and teaches God's Word.As opposed to those that condone practices contrary to what the Bible teaches
and form part of what the Bible calls "Babylon the Great",the world empire of false religion.

The bible says lots of things. If you wanted to find justification for just about any action, you could. But to answer your question,
Jesus preached love and tolerance. Anyone with a glimmer of knowledge regarding the Old Testament knows this is a different path for the Almighty. Why not do the same here?
Hate the sin, not the sinner.

Very simple - Gay Churches take scissors and cut out what parts of the Bible they don't like (mainly the entire Old Testement) and keep what sounds good to their ears.
And when it appears that even thier new and improved copy of scripture could condem them, they turn the tables and believe that God made them that way they are - thus removing all personal responcibility and making God take the blame.
In short - everything is legal as long as you make up your own rules. So, they make their own church now. Proving they worship some "new" god that loves homsexuality.

Gay churches exist because anyone can start anything they want. It is called personal freedom and freedom of speech and all that jazz. But in the Bible God has brought destruction and plight upon the people of Sodom for initiating homosexuality.

I've never actually come across any part of the Bible that condemns Homosexuality. I spoke to a Christian friend about it once, and she pointed out a story about a person who was stoned after they were caught having sexual relations with someone of the same sex. My minister, however, pointed out to me later that the person was stoned, not because they were caught having sexual relations with someone of the same sex, but because this person was married and was committing adultery, which is a sin.
There have been so many discussions about this. I just think that people mis-interpret the Bible, take it too literally, or believe whatever is convenient for them to believe.

A true christian is forced to accept every single person.
Since the supposed god knows everything, he would know the future of every person he makes...
Since he has still made homosexuals, he must have been ok with the life they would live, and therefore, so should christians..
.Anyway, that would be the case if the god of the bible existed, which it doesn't... But since they think it does, they have no excuse to discriminate whatsoever...
If god knows someone is going to be gay before he makes that person, and yet he still makes the person, then he must be ok with it... Otherwise, he's making people only so that they end up in hell...(which is evil, in a way.)

God destroyed two cities filled with homosexuals, that ought to give you some idea of how He feels about it. Jesus Christ even said homosexuality was an abomination. You can't pick and chose what you're going to follow in the Bible and what you're not, but you can repent, ask for forgiveness, and ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart, but the meaning of repent means to turn away from.
