Homosexuality is unnatural and hence can not have the approval of church.

Episcopal Church couldn't explain it's way out of a wet paper bag. "THE REASON" churchs like the Episcopal Church proclaim what they do is because it is more concerned with humanism ("I think" "I feel" "that's not fair" "that's good enough for me") rather than the Word of God itself.
The Word of God clearly speaks on the issue of homosexuality.
WE BELIEVE that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery and pornography are sinful perversions of God’s gift of sex (Gen. 2:24; 19:5, 13; 26:8-9; Lev. 18:1-30; Rom. 1:26-29; I Cor. 5:1; 6:9; I Thess. 4:1-8; Heb. 13:4).
A local New Testament Church is a Independent Fundamental Baptist church. Standing for the Verbal Inspiration of the Bible, the Deity of Christ, His blood Atonement, Salvation by Faith, A New Testament Soul Winning and the Premillennial Return of Christ; Opposing Modernism, Worldliness and Formalism.
"Any" church that contradicts God's Word is nothing more than a satanic cult.
Up Date:
James O, in the past, you and imacatholic2 have both stated that mama claims that it is not a sin to be a homosexual. Just wondering why now you are saying no? Don't get me wrong, I'm saying something about you changing your mind. I'm just wondering why?

No church can endorse homosexuality. Nowadays churches are accepting everything just to get people in. Homosexuality is a sin like every other sin. If someone believes they are gay and lives a celibate lifestyle they can still be christians.

No, no and no. This is clearly against scripture.
Can a church accept homosexuals in their door? They'd better. Can homosexuals be ministered to? Absolutely. Should they be hated, judged and bashed and slammed? No. This is not the example Jesus left us with.
But, the scripture is clear that homosexuality is a sin and not allowed in the Kingdom of God. There is no true interpretation of scripture which says otherwise (I have done studies on this), which some have wrongly attempted to show with circular reason and weak linguistic interpretation.

The words attributed to Jesus in the Gospel are "Love God" and "Love one another". That's pretty straightforward about what he meant when he said come follow me. How can a New Testament Church not endorse homesexuality and still profess to follow Christ?

of corse. after all, if they negate the 10 commandments by saying you dont have to go by any laws that they are under grace, I guess they can do anything as protestants. but Im catholic and we must obey the 10 laws of God, we dont endorse homosexuality we reject the ACT of it.and all sexual immorality.

Homosexuality needs no endorsement. It is what it is.
That's like saying should the church endorse the moon and stars.
What a church decides is up to the congregants... and their opinion won't affect anyone anyhow, not the homosexual community nor the congregation.
Why bother.
Nobody's business.

Since every church is of Man, created by Man, and serves Man, any church can do whatever those who support it allow.
Homosexuality is an illness, and the principle symptom of that illness is denial. Not an intellectual denial, but a psychological denial in which ones MIND adopts the homosexual identity to replace the previous identity which the individuals MIND perceived as a threat to the person's survival.
The MIND naturally, automatically, and continually feeds Delusional Thinking to the Left-Hemisphere of ones brain. One believes the thoughts ones brain is fed, regardless what these thoughts may suggest. Those involved in negativity do so because their MINDs desire it. The brain is useless as an instrument to use in seeking to intervene in a person's negativity... since that person's MIND will feed thoughts to the person's brain that rationalize, justify, and excuse what the person is doing... and the person is convinced that such thoughts are true.
Peace

Yes, because verses can be interpreted many ways. The Episcopal Church can explain to you how the New Testament does not say anything negative about homosexuality.

Pish Posh.... since there are so few of us homosexuals around why do you people worry and fuss so much about us? I find it amusing that in a world full of starving, homeless people you are fussing about a group that couldn't be anymore than 10% of the population on a good day.
