they shouldnt throw them out . but they shouldnt allow them to become members while willfully living in sin. churches should definately teach that homosexuality is wrong. its an abomination to GOD. churches that teach otherwise shouldnt even call themselves christian. the bible is perfectly clear on this issue.

No, the anti-gay pastors and church deacons should admit that they are actively living in the sin of homophobia. They should repent and ask God for forgiveness for their sin. Homophobia and Christianity are two incompatible states of being.

No they shouldn't throw them out but they should explain to them that a Bible believing church can't marry a same sex couple because marriage is between one man and one woman and they should also explain to them that sodomy is a sin and while repentant sinners are welcome, people who repeatedly and wilfully refuse to turn away from their sins are obviously not serious about being a member of the church.
Jesus went and preached to robbers, murderers, prostitutes etc., not to condone or support their lifestyle but to teach then it was wrong and to lovingly encourage them to leave that lifestyle. The church should do likewise.

Throw them right over to my church anytime. We marry loving couples all the time. If your church's concept of God is hateful and bigoted, they would probably be better off at our church anyway. We treat all people with respect and value.

Christianity additionally states and instructions you to kill any bride who isn't a virgin or any newborn who disrespects their mom and dad. Getting married in a church ability (or is meant to point) which you're a Christian and which you believe in Christianity and what it stands for. And Christianity states that going against the recognize God is misguided, so why would somebody who believes interior the different and actually is going against the faith desire to get married interior the abode of God?

no, the church belongs to all...perhaps the pastor and the deacon should be de-frocked for being judgemental and callous idiots

Not unless they plan on throwing out all the other sinners too.
Of course they shouldn't throw them out. Where else are they going to go to learn the truth about God's word?

i see no reason to throw them out. However, its simply impossible for them to get married because by definition you cant marry someone of the same sex.

no, they should be loving and caring and marry them if they are consenting adults who choose to be bound by the ritual of marriage.
