The Church Does Not Discriminate Against Homosexuals

The church does not discriminate against homosexuals, even though the definition of discriminate is: to make a distinction in the treatment of different groups, especially of race, sex, or orientation. and that is what is being done. Regardless, the church does not agree with homosexuality, and homosexual acts. These are the main reasons why this is so; and why they make no sense. The reasons have all been compiled from official Christian clergies, websites, and videos. The first is the fact that it is stated in the Bible as an abomination, and it is something the Church cannot change since God s word is perfect.
