I am a forgiven sinner. I have asked for and been granted grace. Have the homosexuals begged forgiveness of their sins? No. Are they trying to stop their sin? No.
I've got news for you: G-d wants each of us to focus on our OWN sins
How can you tell someone to repent if you don't tell what their sins are?! God does NOT want us to ignore sin.
How do you know?

And you know this about an individual homosexual person HOW?

Where do you read that we must tell everyone our sins? And who does that?
A lot of FReepers have an easier time with some sins than others, but G-d does not. He can handle all of ours. FReepers, as evidenced by threads, can handle the sin of lusting after scantily clad women pretty well, but some FReepers are very condemning of homosexual people. I don't mean the behavior, I mean the people.
“You TOTALLY misunderstand and misrepresent God. How can you tell someone to repent if you don’t tell what their sins are?! God does NOT want us to ignore sin.”
LOL. In Luke Jesus speaks of “some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others.”
Luke is filled with the examples of those “who pray thus with (themselves), ‘God I thank Thee that I am not like (them).’”
Of course Luke warns against such righeousness, and describes how Jesus praised the sinner who judged only himself and prayed for forgiveness: “for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Words to live by, or to try to, it would seem.
