To: Salvation; maryz
Sorry about my earlier dissatisfaction (and a flare of anger) in my last post.

In reviewing what is a "homosexual", let's examine sin as Jesus values Purity compared to what's offensive in His sight. This can all be done in one simple Chapter with clearly narrows the definition of adultery and murder.

Matthew 5:21-22, 27-28

http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/matthew/matthew5.htm

21
"You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, 'You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment.'
22
But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, 'Raqa,' will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, 'You fool,' will be liable to fiery Gehenna.

...and in the same Chapter:

27
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.'
28
But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

---
Thus, with the same example of Christ's command, we know where and when we offend Him in matters of lust (even toward another of the same sex). This Chapter is particularly defining against matters of violence and/or self-abuse as homosexuality is an abomination against Nature.

Again, I apologize for my earlier post. I went to Reconciliation this afternoon to clear up this matter between me and Jesus. I'm a poor reflection of Christ's Love and hope that I didn't offend anyone. I freely admit that my own worn out shoes display intelligence than I, but "I" am the only one who wants to admit that. Playing word games with vocabulary and good & evil reversals really annoys the sense of right and wrong. So, I thank God for giving me the Sacrament of Reconciliation to confront such demons. Now, I'm off to talk to The Lady...it's part of my penance.

:-)
