Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, [20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, [21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

it might be good to stop right here and take time to get an understanding of what is being said.  You can say very easily that these kinds of men, Homosexuals, are no more EVIL than Ministers that Preach the GOSPEL out of ENVY or STRIFE, therefore even though they to may be in Church, they WILL STILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD!
Will this be a concern in the coming day to ALL Churches?  YES! There is not one Religious Sect or Denomination that will not have to redefine what they preach, so as make new rules for Homosexuals.
The problem is not only what to do with them, but how to deal with them, but the Bible is clear!

Romans 1:26-32 (KJV)
    For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: [27] And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Now having understood that all Christian fellowships will be caught in this dilemma of how sin has made its way into the Modern Day Churches, let�s take note and remind ourselves and loved ones of the following scripture as Our Lord shares a very important concept with the Parable of the Tares among the Wheat.
WHY� because Christ Himself is not talking about churches: He is talking about INDIVIDUALS!  It�s about the CHILDREN of MEN AND WOMEN regardless of what church they belong to!   True churches in and among churches, non-believers in and among all believers regardless of where they live on the earth.
Satan was allowed to deceive men into believing it is their POWER or THEIR GLORY that brings men to CHRIST!  Satan knew men would tire in their arguments as to what is the right or wrong way to do this and in doing so he would catch them asleep. Asleep to what?  God�s Word ITSELF.  Then, he would...
