I am far from a liberal. I just dont condemn homosexuals to not be allowed to practice a religion because they are sick. I condemn their sin not the sinner.As I stated I dont want them as priests or preachers but how can you condemn them for wanting to be a lay person. Thats not a pun by the way. Being homosexual doesnt mean they are bad people just sick people.

"I condemn their sin not the sinner."

Do you think God hates the theft, but loves the thief. Does He abhor adultery, but is pleased with the adulterer. What you believe is pure nonsense and not biblical FRiend. The sin has no moral character apart from the sinner. The act is nothing apart from the actor. The very thing that God hates and disapproves is not just the act but it is the doer himself. It grieves and displeases Him that a rational moral agent be in open rebellion against his God and Father, against all that is right and just in the universe. This is the thing that offends God. The sinner himself is the direct and the only object of his anger.

God is angry with the wicked (Psalm 7:11), not with the abstract sin. If the wicked do not turn from their sin they will be condemned.
