I can't fathom attending any 'church' these days all of them are infiltrated with homosexuals.

Nope. That’s a dumb comment.

"I can't fathom attending any 'church' these days all of them are infiltrated with homosexuals"
I wouldn't let something like that keep me out of church. Every church is filled with sinners, that's the point. Every single person has fallen short. You don't take well people to the hospital, and for a similar reason this is why you attend church. Is we were all perfect, there wouldn't be a need for it.
The problem is not that there are homosexuals in the church. Actually that is where they need to be. The issue is that when a church gets up and blatantly flaunts the sinful nature of man, accepts it and pronounces a blessing of forgiveness on those who are sinning, it is an abomination to God. Man does not get to decide what is and isn't sin. The Bible is clear on that, and Paul warned churches of this early on in the Christian church. They are leading their congregation to the gates of Hell. The Bible tells us, as Jesus said, to love our neighbor. We should do that. But to love someone is to not let them run out in front of car willingly to be killed, or to allow them to continue down a road of sin that leads to destruction. Our mission is to love them, not to judge them, but to tell them the truth, and to attempt to persuade them that repentance and turning away from the sin requires strength and courage, but is worth it in the end.
