If a person in the church professing to be a brother in Christ believed that he had a civil right to be a glutton, and that people in the church were wrong to consider gluttony a sin, then that person should be put out of the church. I a fellow believer was promoting gluttony through advocacy in the church, that person should be rebuked, and if he did believe that he needed to repent of such, he should be put out of the church. This is not about treating one sin different from another. It is about a great deception concerning the sinfulness of homosexuality. It is about a false stereotype toward those who teach sound doctrine. It is about bigotry against those who embrace the apostle's doctrrine.
