I understand that the illness of homosexuality is never going to go away
I have always felt sorry for these poor folks. I don’t think they should be persecuted either mentally or physically. Let them live and do whatever they do behind closed doors.
But
There lifestyle is an aberration and should be practiced quietly and discretely. It is not to be legitimized with marriage nor openly in media children can watch.
I agree with your post. I would only add that it’s not very charitable to let them “do whatever they do behind closed doors.”
The pastor mentioned here, as well as some Protestants are charitable when homosexuals are confronted with their “illness” (an apt description by the way) instead of just left alone with it. That’s what the devil likes, when we leave people alone to deal with their own cross.
I don’t care for how the Duck Dynasty patriarch (I can’t recall his name right now) put it, but I’d submit he was being more charitable to homosexuals with his words than someone who just has a “live and let live” mentality.
Forget about the fact such people are probably headed to Hell, right NOW they are harming themselves by simply living in an inhuman manner.

Revelation 21:7-8
King James Version (KJV)
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
‘Behind closed doors’ doesn’t save them...it destroys them.... homosexuality can be overcome.. all sin and abomination can be..
