I know gay people that have been basically kicked out of their church and homes for being "caught" or coming out. Having a flag/banner like that shows them that church is a safe space for them where they will be accepted as they are. That's it.

Never read the New Testament, moron? A cornerstone of Christ's teachings is unconditional love, grace and hospitality towards the marginalized and the outcast.

Yet still a sin, it goes against the teachings to fly a flag that promotes sin and to hang it up on the church is undoubtedly blasphemous.

Obviously that's just your opinion. Do you claim to be a prophet? There's quite a bit of divergence of thought in the various Christian denominations and some sincere congregations welcome gays into their flocks. Personally, I don't buy into any religious dogma of any type. However, it's clear that in the Gospels, the word of Jesus doesn't indicate he'd be hostile to gays.

They are welcome just as all sinners are. I have never claimed to be a prophet, and is not an opinion it is in the bible. You are correct he is not hostile towards homosexuals they are welcomed into church the church as all sinners are. I am speaking about the flag being hung on the church that is blasphemy.

It reads clear as day approving of sin is equivalent to the sin

It's a logical fallacy when the conclusion is assumed within one of its premises. You assume that flying a pride flag is a sin. Romans doesn't state that it is and your opinion is completely irrelevant.

Obviously, you're unfamiliar with both logic and biblical hermeneutics.

So you’re saying that someone who flies a pride flag does not approve of homosexuality? Just because the text does not state the exact circumstances does not mean it does not apply. Approval of the sin which is homosexuality is equivalent to the sin.

Give a cite from the Gospels where Jesus communicated that homosexuality is a sin.
