How is it possible that some Protestant churches support gay marriage?

This is a genuine question and I am not honestly trying to offend. I know that Protestant churches vary greatly on many issues and there are many Protestant churches that condemn gay marriage. But for the churches that support gay marriage, how is it possible for them to reach this conclusion when the scripture overwhelmingly shows that homosexuality is a sin? BTW, I’m Greek Orthodox, not Catholic. Just in case you are wondering.

They are not scriptural based. Same with female “preachers”.

Episcopalians are not really in a "church" per se. It is a social club for upper middle-class whites. I would challenge anybody to say what it is about them that requires them to be a separate sect, same with Presbyterians.

So do these churches abandon sola scriptura or do they just greatly manipulate the scripture to fit their political agenda?

Naming this under the pretext of “Protestant” is sounding like a dig to me. Why not this instead, “Why do some churches “? Just sounds like the same old Catholic verses Protestant attack.

I will say this. My wife and I recently relocated to D.C. from Raleigh. We miss NC but one of the main reasons we are acclimating is our Protestant Reformist church. They happen to have a woman pastor at the moment. I am also certain she is a lesbian but she doesn’t make it an issue and I respect that.
She cares for the church and the congregation and you can see that. If we really want to get at the root of God’s teachings, I think she represents what we were taught as children. To love each other and treat everyone with respect.
I don’t adhere to the Old Testament teachings that would condemn her to Hell. There’s a reason there is a New Testament.
Just my take based on experience.

It shouldn’t be a surprise this is being taught in some churches.
2 Timothy 4:3
3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.

Not meant to be a dig. As far as I know, only some Protestant churches support gay marriage. And because Protestants generally believe that scripture is the ultimate authority, it leads me to believe that these liberal Protestant churches deliberately manipulate scripture to fit their political agenda. Which would be awful. But I’m not sure, so I wanted to ask.

I was a proud and very active member of a United Methodist Church. Not any more. I am done. They have lost me.

Following the Unitarians before them. Mainstream Protestantism has become a decline management program for WASPs that are abandoning Christianity.

Whoa. Major revelation.
You realize this guy thinks he has the correct interpretation of the Word?

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils- 1 Tim 4:1
Congrats, you found a 1 Timothy 4:1 Church

This is what happens when you have 300 denominations and everybody interprets the Bible and establishes doctrine for themselves.

and you clearly have no clue what is in it. it has been discussed here ad infinitum.

1 Timothy 2:11–14 11 Let a woman learn quietly owith all submissiveness. 12 pI do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. 13 qFor Adam was formed first, then Eve; 14 and Adam was not deceived, but sthe woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
If a church permits a woman to preach, they permit what God forbids. That’s bad. The elders do not have the authority to authorize a woman to violate God’s Word.

Ignorance and trying to appeal to younger people

They’re not churches. They’re social clubs. They don’t believe any of the Apostle’s Creed.
