Ethics question for theists - serious - looking for opinions not argument.

[Drich]

To the other half of this issue/your gay friend to share with the nosy Nellie some of the reasons she chooses to work planning church related events (some reasons past the money) to maybe share how the church influence is helping her to ____________. and this somehow leaves the door open to ____________... The idea to do remove the idea Nelli has that gay people are preying on the church. To put your friend on the level with anyone else seeking fellowship from the church.

Drich - we don't often agree.  It's heartening to see that we can.  Thank you for your thoughtful and caring responses.

Despite what many think, my objectives here are always to provide truth and clarity concerning God and now for the church. Most of the time this clarity steps on people's feelings, and other times it supports and helps people out. I would always like to help people out and leave them with what they want to hear, but the thing is I can't. I have a greater responsibility to the truth found in scripture, and must follow that where ever it may lead me. Meaning when asked the general baited question this forum is built one, If I am to answer I must take the bait.

Because My only loyalty is to God, not to principles, philosophies or even religion. In this matter He has left a provision for your friend, and an opportunity for those in that church to do the right thing. (not to say that they will or will not.) It's just the opportunity has been given to each of you and I am glad I was used to point it out.
