"Paul lumped homosexuals and fornicators together"

Well, to be more accurate, Paul lumped homosexuals and fornicators together along with adulterers, idolaters, thieves, the covetous, drunkards, swindlers and revilers. (1Corinthians 6:9)

Just a note on the word "revile." Revile: to assail with contemptuous or opprobrious language; address or speak of abusively.

Damn, looks like we are ALL in need of grace.

Yes we are in need of grace. But we cannot have grace if we do not believe we need to repent due to refusing to accept that we have in fact committed sins, whether it be fornication, adultery, homosexuality, lust and the rest of the litany of sins.

Having a “pridefest”, celebrating ours sins is hardly repentant. That’s the point. RG3 didn’t say anything of that nature. He seemed to accommodate the state of people living in an ongoing lifestyle of sin.
