Sure does. Although, to take a birds eye view... what's equally (actually more) important is what type of character. And what is morally right and wrong? Is there truth and what is it?
We've got to come back to the word of God (the entire Bible) and it clearly states in both the old and new Testament that God hates the act of homosexuality. He loves all people... but hates sin. And it's our sin that gets in the way.... everyone of us (Rom 3).
Sounds like the problem has been that folks aren't using God's word to determine what the church's view should be. If they would, there wouldn't even be a discussion (about such a black and white matter).
Do people think that just because Jesus didn't teach on it that it makes that behaviour ok? Or do they think that the Holy Spirit who spoke through Paul was not the one and the same God who revealed himself through Jesus?
The problem with the religious liberals is that they want to pick and choose what parts of the religion they like. It's still that same rebellious nature in the heart of a man that defies God and tries to do it 'MY WAY' like Sinatra used to sing.
If we deviate from the Word of God, then all bets are off. Things quickly degrade into moral relativism. And we all know where that leads. The way that a man thinks is right... leads to death.
Preach it, brother!
