I believe the idea that homosexuals are far worse sinners than everyone else though is wrong, and tends to chase folks tempted in that area, out of the church, into the activists arms...

As Romans 6:23 indicates, the wages of unrepentant sin is death, spiritual death.

Absolutely. And that includes, pride, lust, hate, jealousy, envy, idolatry...and a host of other "lifestyle" sins of people not homosexual.

My point is we in the Church, like America at large, tend to wink at "common" sins, whereas we cringe at the homosexual (even when an adulterer is sitting next to us). Church should be a place where people come to be forgiven--with only their consciences condemning them. True forgiveness though means repentance for everyone...and all have sinned.

"When our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, said "Repent", He called for the entire life of believers to be one of repentance." --Dr. Martin Luther, 1st of the 95 Theses.
