John 3:16-17 (NKJV): The Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. A desire to honor Jesus with your life may not change your sexual orientation however you still have control over your sexural behavior. If you have truly accepted Jesus your behavior and desires will change. Jesus offers salvation freely to all who accept it.
Many will sadly chose hellfire over eternal life. God alows us the freedom to make our own choices but we must accept the consequences. I politically support proples rights marry who they want as I think the government should keep out of our bedrooms and life in general. The church is not doing anyone any favors by promoting homosexuality. Gay and straight people alike can choose a life of purity through a monogamous heterosexual marriage or celibacy.
The Bible specifically condemns homosexual relationships not same-sex attraction. In fact every citizen of heaven will have repented and turned from sin. There will be many LGBQT people in heaven who repented and stopped participating in homosexual activities. The majority of Hells population will be strait. These church goers forget all the other sins they commit on the daily. "Self righteous" congregations feel safe pointing fingers at the LGBQT population because most of them don't struggle with gay attraction. I find it odd that Christians sometimes over emphasize it. Homosexuality is one of hundreds of sins. Appropriate tolerance would be not kicking people out of a church because they are gay, even if they are in a homosexual relationship. The church should not promote homosexuality or any other sin. For Wilson-Lyons, Christianity has far to go in repairing relations with the LGBTQIA community.

Wilson-Lyons thinks the cultural stakes are much higher with a children’s show but specifically for the LGBTQIA community, a community in particular that has been harmed by the church by religious communities. Two people of the same gender getting married as if it's a normal thing because I will because I want it to be normal for them and I think there's opportune more and more opportunities for young people to experience that.” Wilson-Lyons gives his take on a personal level.īut Rev. “One of the reasons we're excited to show this "Arthur" viewing is because I have a 6-year-old and a 1 year old. The Birmingham First United Methodist Church had previously worked with Sidewalk Film Center to host screenings of LGBTQIA-themed films. Wilson-Lyons about hosting an educational screening as this was in line with their mission of the Church both in terms of offering hospitality but also his organization believe very strongly in justice for all including the LGBTQIA community.
After the controversy with Alabama Public Television choosing not to air the Arthur episode that had a gay wedding in it. When an episode of the cartoon Arthur featuring a gay wedding wasn't aired in Alabama a local church decided to take action.
