Yes. Homosexuality is a sin. So is judging. So is hatred. Anything we do that we know is wrong is a sin. So, the question for us is do we concentrate on the sins of others and, in doing so, become a sinner ourselves by our hatred and judging evil spirit? Or do we find a way to love the sinner, recognizing that the soul that sins is in need of God's holy spirit?

Yes. Homosexuality is a sin. Holy hatred of the evil spirit thoughts that produce homosexuality is fine. But hatred of the homosexual, the sinning soul, is not.

We all need to be really careful where we let our own thoughts lead us. Our very lives are at stake.

  1. Homosexuality is always an abomination.
  2. Judging is only a sin if it is unrighteous judgment.
  3. Hatred is only a sin when it is unrighteous.

Judging is not a sin, telling someone one something is a sin (Judging) is not a sin. Jesus made judgments all the time and he was without sin! The early saints also made judgments, we are made in the image of God who is the supreme judge.

Unrighteous judgment is a sin! as us unrighteous hatred. What do you do with a group who not only sins (there business) but thinks its OK (their business) and want me to think it ok (my business) and will teach it in the schools (our business) to do so?

God judges. God hates. God does not sin.

Oh, so I guess we should be welcoming and accepting to everyone's devices, desires, and sick behavior. Should we not speak and defend God's laws? Or just sit back and be afraid to confront disgusting behavior?

Living in 2004, no holes barred.

"Yes. Homosexuality is a sin. So is judging. So is hatred."

You're right. I love my dog. Should the state allow my marriage to him? If people contest this, does that make them dog o philes? Should the ASPCA get involved?

"But hatred of the homosexual, the sinning soul, is not."

I've read this whole thread and haven't seen where someone said they hated any person. Unless I've missed something someone said, I have no idea where you are getting this 'hate' thing.
