What are you talking about? Jesus said that homosexuality is WRONG.
If a practicing gay man is a pastor/priest he is directly contradicting what is says in the bible.
There was that dealio with a homosexual becoming a pastor in a Presbyterian church.
I'm just wondering- when he is teaching and stuff does he just ignore the scriptures that say that homosexuality is wrong?
Not allowing a homosexual man to become a leader of a church is not a sin. I think that it's ok to let a homosexual into church to hear the good news and salvation that Jesus offers because all humans are entitled to that. But to let one become an authority in the church is NOT what Jesus would want because it would make the message that Christianity teaches obsolete and hypocritical.

so u saying that if a homosexual is a priest he shouldnt tell anyone hes gay??
first of all i don't see the point in the celibacy rule, but its there and has to be respected if a person decides to become a priest.
i said practising, but i just don't see why thety'd have to announce that they're gay if their sexuality is of no consequence in a job like this...
