The Church seems more keen to satisfy the 2% of the population than looking to the scriptures for answers and is trying to justify some of the leaders & priests of the congregation and the secular world. We are sinners & we have to welcome them too, but we cannot officially approve of their lifestyle and make them leaders in the Church. Where do we draw the line – approve corrupt leaders if they contribute more than their fair share of contributions or have multiple wives or husbands at the same time. Yes they are all welcome in the church and receive the cleansing of the ” communion” ,it is only GOD’S judgement in the end that matters. But it is a matter of the Church’s interest that the organization have rules & standards that are in conformity with the Bible as we know it.

“Paul might remind it of his counsel to the Ephesians to be “humble and gentle and patient with one another, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (Ephesians 4:2-3),” ” yes along with : For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.” ( Romans 1: 26) also ” do you not know that the unrighteous[b] will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God” ( 1 Cor. 6:9) also ” Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9 understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, ” (1 Tim 1:8) Maybe the church should get back to the Great commission ” Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[b] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
