What would be the response if a consensual Christian practice - lets say the Lord's supper - was shown to be responsible for 81% of new HIV cases aged 13 and older among men - - despite only representing approximately 4% of the male population - and 92% of new HIV among youth, and (historically) a greatly increased incidence of other infectious diseases and premature death, and despite decades of attempting to tame it into being "safe," then it would be treated as the plague.
God made man and women distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified (Mt. 19:4–6) - and Scripture only condemns homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with.
Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47
[[Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith]]
Yep- doesn’t matter what the sins were, they can be completely and totally forgivrn and forgotten by God (although we still have to suffer the consequences of our sections ie drug addicts will likely suffer the desire for drugs for life, and have to endure whatever consequences the former drug use caused like lung cancer, or any kind of cancers really, or std from using dirty needles etc- consequences don’t dissappear just because God forgives and forgets our sins)
All we have to do is forget trying to save ourselves by “being good” or doing good deeds or belonging to a church etc, and go to the cross and throw ourselves on his mercy onwoing we can never save ourselves. Coming to that realization is what repentence means.
God’s kingdom is big enough for everyone, but sadly too few will let go of their pride and admit they need christ to save them.
