It’s sometimes also argued that Romans 1 demonstrates that homosexual sin is in a special class, and the worst of all. But even if that would be so, that doesn’t mean that “modern life” in wealthy nations has made God reconsider what sexual sin is, and after further consideration, He’s decided just to retain homosexuality.
I have to take Romans 1 as not only exposing those who commit homosexual sin, but also exposing societies and nations that reject God, one sign of which then becomes the acceptability of homosexual sin, but it also takes on the character of the other sins listed in Romans 1.
All Christians today would simply do well to make sure that they humbly and in fear of Him consider EVERY WORD OF GOD, especially every word in the New Testament. In the end, we are all individually responsible to Him. And I say, consider every word of His “in fear,” because the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and it certainly seems that many Christians in the modern, wealthy world have yet to come to Christ through that beginning, but instead seem to take for granted His grace and make hard, mocking, and even condemning speeches, not against those they call “dour” Christians, but against God Himself. These same Christians often condemn the sin of homosexuality, yet are offended when God’s Word clearly doesn’t allow what they want to do.
No matter what temptations we individually face, we have to be willing to “take a loss” of the sin and believe in God’s promise of something better, partly in this world, and fully in the next.
I am trying to examine and understand the issue of homosexuality from a non-biblical perspective for at least a couple of reasons.
First, I am not qualified to discuss much beyond the "Judge not" admonition and secondly I believe the matter can be resolved primarily as a matter of science.
IMO, much of the confusion, even on this thread, may result from the fact that many are reluctant to recognize the larger group is divided at a minimum between those who make a bad choice and those who through no fault of their own are unable to make any choice at all.
Thanks again for your post.
