Several denominations are struggling with the question of whether or not to allow practicing homosexuals into their local fellowships.  Amongst the United Methodist Church (UMC), the "full inclusion" movement is advocating for the acceptance of practicing homosexuals into the church.  Following the St. Louis conference, many pastors in the UMC have put forth their case for "full inclusion".  In this study, we examine four major arguments consistently put forth by "full inclusion" advocates to justify their position.

1) Is the Bible, as a "living" document, to be adapted and molded to fit current societal issues?

2) Does Leviticus 18 have a role in this discussion?

3) Does God really love everyone?

4) Does Acts 11 provide justification for the full-inclusion argument?
