How is that different from any other sin? I had friends in college who were shoplifters. I have friends today who are adulterers. I have friends who are liars. Still sin. Still friends. I’m still a Christian.

Exactly, I don't understand how young Christians can't reason that they don't need to leave the Church because they have friends who engage in sex outside of marriage, pornography (and let's not go into how the men of the Church struggle with that), and profanity and can't include homosexuals in that. It seems as if they've been brainwashed into thinking that this is the one thing that isn't OK to list as a sin.

They have been brainwashed into recoiling at the suggestion that homosexuality is a sin.

Remember, this is a war between Christ and Satan.
Satan seeks to establish his kingdom here on earth and destroy Christ’s bride.

Homosexuality is simply one of his weapons in the battle. The immediate goal is to criminalize the Church, and the left seeks to do that through the issue of homosexuality.

The men I hang out with are addressing pornography in the church directly. I think it's shameful that we hide behind our church masks. We need to recognize that most men in the church are at the mercy of pornography and lust. Their wives are devastated when they find out because they think their guy is the only one.

I talked to a lady the other day who was ready to leave her husband because she found out he was doing porn. I explained to her how easily it can ensnare a man, and that 80% of the men in her church were probably doing the same thing. It wasn't until we talked about how God can free a guy that she calmed down.

I shared my personal experience in that sin and how God's grace freed me and she became hopeful.

Talking about it openly robs it of some power. It also helps women "get it", because very few do.
