Jesus called for people to confess there sin and to go and sin no more. Someone who condones anothers sin does not love that person - they really hate them. We should be mutually correcting each other and striving to lead godly lives - not confusing loving one another with acceptance of sin.
The good old love is hate and hate is love magic trick.
Hating homosexuals is in fact loving them. Ta Dah!!!
Want to try that again in something other than caveman speak? Precepts of the Christian faith don't require followers to have the government force Christianity on others. Maybe I missed a gospel, but I don't recall Jesus saying that. He was rather accepting of others.
You are showing a lot of ignorance about the Bible. Jesus is known as the Word, and is the author of the entire Bible. He is not merely a human being that you can quote for his time on earth. The Word is very clearly against the practice of homosexuality (not homosexuals---they're human beings in need of salvation, same as anyone else; however, one cannot continue in the practice of sin).
Now, explain how these church members are having "the government force Christianity on others"???? Were you comatose when you read the OP? Or are you intentionally twisting the topic of the thread?
My family is United Church of Christ. The UCC officially supports gay marriage--it has since 2005, and the pastor was just following the resolutions of his church. Evidently some members of the congregation at that particular church are not on board. The pastor didn't do anything wrong or inappropriate.

True - according to the policies of his church - he was fine. But he should not be surprised that his congregation thought differently - and he is leading a corporation. If you have bills to pay - you don't offend your members who you rely on to pay those things. He should have had a better feel for his congregation before he did something that drove them away.
What was it again that Jesus said about the practice of homosexuality?
You are demonstrating willful ignorance. You will be held responsible, but not by me.
