New approach....

I read this article:

Help for Jewish Homosexuals that is Consistent with Torah Principles

Full article here:

www.narth.com/docs/torah.html

The church is not exempt from dealing with this issue and it is not going to just go away, no matter how hard we try to push it back under the rug...

Do you think that a similar approach would be a "good" starting point?

Thanks for sharing that excellent read, sis nina!

It's amazing how much alike we are as Jews and Christians, from Torah to Gospel, when we're talking LOVE.

A brother in Christ that I very much admire taught me that calling people out because of their sin does nothing but make them offensive. I find that's true. That's why the gay agenda has been so successful. Christians have been hateful and basically unequipped when it comes to dealing with hurt people.

Just like all hurt people, homosexuals tend to take on the labels, names and descriptions that the world gives them because at least in that, they belong to something and they know that they are loved (even if that love isn't real, it's something when most of them have nothing).

If we do what we are called to do, we'll help more people heal and leave that lifestyle than we ever could have imagined. I believe God's way works better than any slick tactics would could come up with. The things that we've been doing have not, do not, will not work and are not ordained to be as effective as what God has called us to do.
