Christian Religion has been teaching half-truths to keep Christians from Truth. Listen to the words Christianity teaches but the religion refuses to hear TRUTH. Let Jesus be your teacher and Master.

When you think about what sin is, you must recognize that sin looks to dominate a person's life. Sin doesn't come in to be nice, sin comes in to take control. Sin is a relentless master that looks to steer and direct every aspect of a person's life.
Before you got saved, whether you realized it or not, you were dominated and controlled by sin. Don't feel bad, so was I. Sin controlled us then and even though you are a Christian, sin is still looking to take back control now. This is part of the tug-of-war we experience as Christians, wrestling with the pull of sin that desires to have us back under its control and the pull of the Spirit calling us to live a godly life.
"So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want" (Galatians 5:16-17).
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
"Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life" (Galatians 6:8).
"Jesus replied, �Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin'" (John 8:34).
"Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace" (Romans 6:12-14).

You have missed the point Joseph. It is not about church, it is about being gay. Hepi, where did you get such a clear understanding of the god you have conjured up? Did you develop him all by yourself or did you have help. The Bible says God is a Spirit and they who worship him must worship him in Spirit and truth. Have you been born of the Spirit? Come on now, be truthful ps. you are not the first to design their own god

So you don't introduce them as your spouse? Are you married? When you introduce your wife to someone do you tell people they are your spouse?

Then bring them but there is no need for them tell anyone about their life style. I have gone to church with friends and never felt the need to explain who's who.

So what if they wanted to bring their partner or spouse to church?

Why not just find a church you like and keep your sexual orientation to yourself since there is no need for you to tell anyone.

Heps. Truth is not unGodly. Animals CAN'T control the urges they have but humans can if they choose to. Jesus brought to the world a Way to live that those who OBEY would receive Eternal Life. People makes excuses not to follow Jesus because the world practices whatever they want.

But hey - hang onto it. You need it for some reason.

When you work for man ( Government) you are a SLAVE.
Seems people that have got kin folk ( or are themselves h*mo) that are h*mosexual stands up for lies like you speak. Heps.. The Lord God Jesus The Christ gives freedom to mankind. Government enslaves people. God created male and female the Lord God formed Man and Woman. h*mosexuality is against God. So Being God didn't condone h*mosexuality Jesus spoke against it and Paul spoke against it.
Jesus was clear about what he taught.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, ADULTERIES, FORNICATIONS, MURDERS,
22 THEFTS, COVETOUSNESS, WICKEDNESS, DECEIT, LASCIVIOUSNESS, an EVIL EYE, BLASPHEMY, PRIDE, FOOLISHNESS:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Here's what the preacher Paul says
2 Timothy 3
King James Version
3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, TRUCE BREAKERS, FALSE ACCUSERS, incontinent, fierce, DESPISERS OF THOSE THAT ARE GOOD,
4 Traitors, heady, high minded, LOVERS OF PLEASURES MORE THAN LOVERS OF GOD;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from SUCH TURN AWAY.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 EVER LEARNING, and NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH..

Paul and Peter both condoned slavery. Therefore, we know they were NOT speaking for God.
Paul was silly enough to condemn h*mosexuals. God wouldn't have done that.
It's easy enough to have an opinion. You are welcome to yours.

Heps. Government condoned and created slavery in America. Slavery is still alive only it's using a new name. Minimum wage EARNERS.

God would NEVER condone slavery. Surely you know that.

Some of the authors of the bible condoned slavery.
We all know that is not right. If God had written it, slavery would have been condemned.

The only proof you have there is a God is the Bible. The only proof you have that the bible is correct is God. Do you see your problem?
