The Bible contains 6 admonishments to homosexuals, and 362 to
heterosexuals. This doesn't mean God doesn't love heterosexuals, it's just
that they need more supervision. - Unknown
We believe that human sexuality in and of itself is not sinful.
As Christians
it is our responsibility to live in integrity, which means we try to live our
lives in "wholeness." When we become a Christian, our sexual orientation does
not change, but we are admonished by the Scriptures to conduct our life,
including our sexual behavior in a manner consistent with our Christian
faith.
Sexuality should not be ignored nor denied; it is a gift of our
Creator.
On the other hand, it is just one part of our identity and should
never be elevated to a point where it defines who we are and controls what we
do. Sexual behavior must be conducted with an understanding of and obedience
to the principles of God's Word.
In that context, we believe God's design for
the optimum sexual expression is within the confines of committed, fidelity,
and monogamy.
