Do you agree with the ordination of homosexual people? If so, how do you justify this Biblically? If not, do you still continue to be affiliated with a Uniting church?

You can not do that until the end of the world because of some false interpretation of the bible. and false evangelists.

I have two opinions on this matter.First I believe even homosexuals can be saved.Of course they have to be willing to leave their immoral ways behind them and live according to the word of God.As we all do when we are saved.It is part of becomming a Christian to leave our old ways behind us as we are slowly changed into a child of God.
But I'm afraid if homosexuals start attending churches they will do as they normally do and try promoting their homosexual agenda.They might try to associate homosexuality with Christianity and pervert the whole church with their propoganda.
Also I wouldn't feel safe with my son around them either even in a church.I don't know it just wouldn't work unless they were willing to change their hearts as well as their lifestyle.
It seems to me like they would want to take over or maybe start acting strange and sue the church if anyone said anything about it.
Personally I would stop going as I think it just wouldn't work.

Every large Christain denomination has ordained homosexuals. You just aren't aware of that because not all homosexuals are out of the closet. Evangelicals, Lutherans, Catholics (obviously) and even some of the evangelical churches have had homosexuals speak from the pulpit. (Ted Haggard anyone?)
Homosexuality is not some deviant subculture. Homosexuality is all around you. The only reason you aren't aware of it is because many homosexuals still fear being subjected to the hatefulness of their devout neighbors.

They try to justify it by saying that the type of homosexuality denounced in the Bible is merely an evil form of homosexuality that they do not practice. But for 2 people of the same sex, then its a great thing if they are in love.
Unfortunately for them, they have to read that INTO passages in order to come to that conclusion.

you cannot "unite" with sin. Sin is defined by God in His Word and homosexuality is clearly stated as such. I could not and would not stay in a denomination that condoned and "ordained" blatant sin against the know written will and Word of God.

Sin is sin and homosexuals can be forgiven like anyone else but no as well with any sin if your are willing practicing that sin than no you have no business in the ministry.
