I suppose a non-practising homosexual Christian is no worse than a non-practising heterosexual Christian. If the celibacy is in obedience to God, does it really matter whether it is abstaining from men or abstaining from women? The abstinence should be applauded if it is sincere and honoring to God.
Exactly. Why everyone makes it seem like it's SOOOOO hard to be a Christian with homosexual desires over that of a Christian with equally strong, normal, heterosexual desires is beyond me.
Desire is desire and the only difference is how it's directed. Sin is sin.
It's not stronger desire or harder to manage because it's directed toward the same sex as opposed to the opposite sex.
