How should the Christian Church treat homosexuals?

Now you're just blindly throwing crap out.

Keep throwing the poo maybe you'll hit something.

By the way, what the sam hell makes you think that LDS are affirming to homosexuals?:)

I think I'm getting a picture from all this anyway. There are certain aspects (or applications) of this topic you aren't willing to discuss, and if someone else brings them up, you're going to go into canned-response mode.

Since you're still leaving it up to me to try and guess what all this means, the only thing that makes sense to me is that you're demonstrating rather than explaining how you resolve the contradictions I pointed out, mainly; by denial, ie., pretending they're not there.

Do you consider denial a form of penance?

Denial here is merely a tool for self-justifying dishonesty.

I'm talking about in the real world though.

Put it this way: if I were having a conversation about all this with a homophobic religious person whose homophobia stemmed from guilt and shame over their own sexual preferences, I wonder how many people like this consider denial a form of penance.

What I mean is: it can definitely be seen as a sort of sacrifice, or psychological self-circumcision, since it requires taking a part of yourself and casting it aside, theoretically forever.

I wonder how many secretly gay religious people are doing this in the hopes that the sacrifice will appease their God.
