To: Paul C. Jesup
Nobody was able to keep the 10 commandments, and that is why God established a new covenant through his Son, Jesus. Those who enter in to this new covenant experience a spritual birth where God writes his laws on their hearts, not on tables of stone. We receive the imputation of righteousness, resulting in a new desire to serve God from our hearts in spirit and in truth. The outward form of any religion is worthless without the inward transformation of the heart. People who receive Christ as their Lord and Savior have more of a desire to please God by their actions because the reality of God's love is witnessed from within.
I suppose homosexuality is a hot topic because it is very clearly being shoved at people in an attempt to make it accepted as normal behavior.
