No the bible says homosexuality is a sin, and adultery is a sin. We were discussing a man who lived with a woman having divorced his wife, comparing that to a man who divorced his wife because he was gay.

BTW, if a gay man chooses to be abstinent in order to not sin, he still would not be allowed to be a scoutmaster. Again, I agree with the restriction, but at that point it is no longer about an act of sin.

BTW, I call you on your selective quoting. It's not nice to dissemble and attempt to deceive your fellow freepers to make a point.

My full quote:

I don’t personally try to rate one relationship over another.
The Bible tells me what is sin, and what is not. It doesn’t tell me that some sins are acceptable, and others are not.

So when you only quoted my first sentence, and then added your 'Well, the bible does", you were only saying exactly what I said in my quote. Except as I stated, adultery is a sin, and the Bible doesn't distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable sins.

BTW, not that I adhere to a ranking of sin, but if you did, Adultery is one of the big 10, while Homosexuality is not.

Also, we are all sinners.

...but at that point it is no longer about an act of sin.

Wrong.

According to Romans 1:24 and 26, abstinence doesn't cut it either because homosexual desires are sinful and homosexual lusts are shameful.
