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

So… instead of imploring Christians to fix their divorce and premarital sex problems, the answer is “I guess we’ll just encourage these other sins until you people get them ALL right”?

No, I just agree with another poster. Homosexuality is REALLY singled out (for whatever reason) in Christian churches. Not sure why.
Gluttony is also a sin. I see a lot of fat people sitting in church.

Are you saying that the church should celebrate divorce and remarriage and gay marriages and premarital sex? Or are you verbally gesticulating because someone told you once that you had a point?

No. I'm saying none of those sins are ever breached and discussed. But for some reason, the church is peculiarly obsessed with gay people.

They interpret the Bible as they want ; that’s why since the reformation there are so many different denominations. You can Blake the Catholic Church for that. There is only one true church of Christ and it’s the same now as it was 2000 years ago or so; truly an apostolic church.

If a church ain't teaching the word of god it ain't a church that's what a real church does you can twist it any way you want A gay women preacher the irony in that is laughable
The retribution awaiting the church will be severe. that you can be sure of.
the church and the times we live in is another modern day Babylon
I bet that queer never talks about the depravity of Babylon, the church will suffer thru it again my advice would be to get out

The importance of diligent study is necessary for anyone calling themselves a Christian
There was a sacramental Apostolic church hundreds of years before there was a Bible; hence why being a part of that church is so important. Using your own interpretations is what got us to the point of this thread: heresies abound.

“Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.”

“Don’t you realize that your bodies are actually parts of Christ? Should a man take his body, which is part of Christ, and join it to a prostitute? Never! And don’t you realize that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scriptures say, “The two are united into one.” But the person who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him. Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.”

Not sure why.
Because while Christians sin, they repent.
Sins are just an act one does.
No one is "gay".
You cannot believe in Christ and refuse to follow his word.
Can you fail in a moment of weakness 70x7?
Yea, but you wouldn't be proud of it, you wouldn't insist that it's not a sin.
That's the difference. Gluttons who are Christians are ashamed of their gluttony and pray to be delivered of it.
The homosexual community that pretends to be Christians demand acceptance and a desecration of a ritual from God called marriage.

The Church has been tainted by the ways of man. No denomination is exempt; all have strayed from Scripture, differing only in the extent or direction of their deviation.
Many churches do not adhere to the biblical standards for appointing their leaders, disregarding the instructions set forth in Scripture.
Moreover, I know of no congregation that faithfully practices biblical correction, holding its members accountable when they persist in open sin.
Instead of being a community devoted to walking the narrow path of righteousness, many churches have become mere social gatherings, places where people seek comfort rather than conviction and self-examination.

It starts with ordaining women and then slips from there, every time.
They're no longer valid churches, just social justice clubs.

Episcopalians and Methodists didn’t see the obvious until it was too late.

Those who don’t trust the Bible as the infallible word of God and the highest authority for the Church will inevitably make God and His word in their own image and out their personal preferences above God’s holiness. These people will give lip service to the Bible while interpreting it according to what they want it to say rather than seeking to understand what it actually says.
I trust the Bible as the infallible word of God and the highest authority for the Church.
I'm not trying to make God in my own image but worship God as He has revealed in His word with biblical support, not emotional argumentation.
I'm also interpreting the Bible according to the biblical hermeneutic of letting the Bible interpret itself, by looking for more clear passages to help with less clear passages, for instance. I do exegesis not eisegesis, so I'm trying to draw out meaning from the text rather than put meaning into the text from my own personal experiences or opinions.
I admit that I could be wrong in things I believe, but not because I'm forcing anything into the text. Being a sola scriptura Reformed Protestant, I take the Scriptures seriously and seek to conform myself to them, not them to me, and if I can be shown that what I believe is wrong from the Bible, I'll consider it.

Thankfully there are still many denominations and congregations that have remained faithful to Christ with faithful preaching of the word, administration of the sacraments, and execution of church discipline, though they may be in the minority at this point.

I don’t know why they do it, but scripture warned us of the many false prophets we would encounter.
These false prophets would not be a very effective part of Satan’s army if they didn’t try to make us think they belong to God.

how is it possible for them to reach this conclusion when the scripture overwhelmingly shows that homosexuality is a sin?
My protestant pastor always preached that we are all sinners and no sin is greater or worse than another. While he openly condemned homosexuality I'm sure he would welcome anyone, including homosexuals, into his church. Church is for sinners, not for saints.
