"I'm plenty grounded spider, I think."

I was speaking in general, I didn't direct that comment at anyone.

"If a church is to take away the rights of any sinner, then shouldn't it be all sinners? No one sin is more than another. If it's sin being the reason for the late notice, and ultimate rejection, then what of all sinners? The ones living together, smokers, drud users, suicide, liars, and so forth and so forth. Where does it stop? What about gluttony? Wasting water, ie; home pools, smog, the air. These people opened a can of worms when they chose to be the judge of finding one sin over another as being worse. IF "homosexuality" truly is a sin, it should be considered a lesser sin because it is only mentioned, I think, two times. Once in reference to adultery and another that slips my mind right now. Twice...There are so many more, mentioned much more. "

You are preaching to the choir, that's exactly what I said. I would have supported the church 100% if they had told the family that they couldn't display any pictures of homosexual affection, but I think they shouldn't have cancelled the memorial.

You confuse me when you say "IF "homosexuality" truly is a sin", I thought you believed in the Bible as the word of God.

"This church made it'self judge jury and executioner. "LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN"............"

They didn't kill anyone. They decided to not allow their church to be used to memorialize a homosexual. They were wrong, but you are really are blowing it out of proportion when you take it to this kind of extreme.

You point out that everyone is a sinner and then you are shocked that they sinned by denying someone a memorial.

i'm not shocked that they denied it...

but i AM surprised that they OFFERED to hold it and then recanted.

Exactly my point spider. Everyone sins according to the word. And this church has no right calling any sin any worse than another.

I know what you are saying about my beliefs, but my beliefs also tell me that my Bible tells me it is wrong to judge and that unmarried sex is also a sin. To which HOW many ignore it?? Should they also be banned from having a pic held up during their own funeral?? Or even having a service in a church denied? A sin is a sin is a sin. Besides the family says that was an outright lie about pictures of many or even one affectionate picture being an issue.
