Can a Christian be a homosexual?

From various postings on CoG forums advocating the title of 'Christian homosexual', it is alarming to see how far into the psyche political correctness has marched in the Churches of God. This is just one of dozens of postings on various issues by members who want to cosy up as much as they can to political correctness - yet feel safe by keeping the sabbath and holy days - as if that is all to God's Way.This is only going to get worse and worse as these types work their way up in the CoGs (in the main they seldom openly espouse their beliefs or they keep them well hidden - and they deny it when confronted. They prefer to be 'subtle', seeding their ideas all over the place).

See what I mean?

What is this doctrinal change that has taken place without any approval - that one can be a 'Christian homosexual'? What a massive compromise with the world and that WILL lead to further softening of standards. It seems to us that:

1. One can be a repentant homosexual who becomes a Christian;
2. one can be a homosexual who wants to be a Christian;
3. one can be a homosexual who does not wish to be a Christian (or is not called);
4. one can be a homosexual who was a Christian.BUT, one cannot be a 'Christian homosexual' that several are espousing.

Who made this doctrinal change - there are just tooooo many of these crackpot and unthinking PC ideas floating around?Similarly, one cannot be a 'Christian Sunday-observer', 'Christian adulterer', 'Christian murderer' etc.One can only be a Christian. But one can be a Christian who was a FORMER homosexual or former this or that who suffers temptations. But one cannot be a 'Christian homosexual' which implies staying homosexual mentally while entering the CoGs.

Man, I have heard so many arguments from people over this. Some clever and others silly. But the bottom line is that people want to feel comfortable with the world; they don't wish to offend the homosexual lobby (but they are quite prepared to offend loyal members); certain ones no doubt want to use this as a stepping stone to the next level - that has always been the case. Step-by-step.

This not so subtle change in language is leading us into the next step on this issue. See my response to this shocking change in my paper on 'Homosexuality and the Problem with Language' located at
http://www.originofnations.org/HRP_Papers/doc/index.htm This paper was written after hearing this poorly thought out and unscriptural tripe being espoused some months ago by CoG members.

All political observers know that the use of language is the biggest tool that the Left have used over the past 50 years - and now it is entering the CoGs.
