“Romans 1:32”
” Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
Huh?
They are celibate. That is, they don’t have gay sex. They know gay sex is wrong and against God, and so don’t do it.
Their behavior is exactly correct.
Be like like condemning a non-drinking alcoholic for being an alcoholic. They have a weakness that is a sin, and they overcome it with Christ’s help.
“Being homosexual” is about what you do, not about your desires.
Otherwise, we’d all be lying, thieving, murderous, covetous adulterers.
Extremely well said.
Their behavior is exactly correct.
But that is not all that is involved. We know that the life of the mind also comes into play. To flirt with private lusts, even though not acted out, is just as wicked.
Additionally, affirming others who do choose to act out their homosexual proclivities is equally as damnable.
We are all tempted to sin, even Jesus was. That’s why His sacrifice was effective as redemption for mankind.
He was able to remain sinless; I have not. So I don’t want to be judgmental of anybody, not even homosexuals.
But on the other hand, I resist temptation as best I can, with the help of the Lord,and I certainly do not try to promote any sins that I have committed as right and virtuous, or as anything but what they are: sins.
Does that make me a hypocrite? Many on the Left would probably say so, as it is their favorite epithet after racist, Nazi, and bigot.
So be it.
