The saying "love the person, not the sin"...pastor is not against the homosexual as a person, but his acts...same with our Lord, when he was Mary Magdelene..if you know who she is....does God love prostitution?
One of Jesus disciple is a thief...Judas Iscariot holds the money bag, and occasionally dips, his hand into it...
The point is, the sin of homosexuality is death....as in Romans 6:23 (NASB)
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We love the sinner, but we do not love the sin....
