"Church leaders are playing it safe by embracing a middle ground and the feel-good compromise of deliberate ambiguity when it comes to the moral issues of the day. On the one hand, Seventh-day Adventists believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. On the other hand, they tell you that we are not anti-gay.
However, there is a small problem with taking this position: God is anti-gay. He is anti-gay in the sense that He is opposed to homosexual relationships in any context. Period.
And it doesn’t matter if homosexuality is within a theocracy or in a secular society or even in our godless generation, God still opposes it.
In fact, God will always oppose the LGBT+ lifestyle and there will never be a time when God will tell us that homosexuality is okay and that we can codify this sin into law.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church’s “Fairness For All Act” would not only codify bisexuality and homosexuality into federal law, but it would also offer certain protections for churches.
It is a compromise.
It would do everything the United States Supreme Court has just approved, but with exemptions for churches, not for private companies, schools, or government entities.
Today, the General Conference and others in the North American Division are trying to raise the rainbow banner of the LGBT+ movement along with the banner of Christ inscribed with God’s commandments.
We are promoting religious liberty for us and a sexual revolution for the world.
*Remember, God told the comfortable church in Laodicea that their neutrality makes Him sick (Revelation 3:16). God not only stands for justice; He also opposes sin and iniquity and speaks against it. Notice what the Bible says about Jesus:

But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Hebrews 1:8, 9." AdventMessenger
