Here’s my question....is living together outside of marriage with no intention of marriage any worse of a sin than being homosexual and wanting to get married?


If that’s your question, don’t set up a straw man. Just ask the question.

Sacred Scripture presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity. (Gen 19:1-29; Rom 1:24-27; 1 Cor 6:10; 1 Tim 1:10)

While it would seem that having sex outside of marriage would be against the moral law and accordingly be a grave sin, I’m not sure what Scripture says about it.

What does Scripture tell us?

It's not a straw man. If you are a business owner you make this decision every day. If you run a convenience store you sell alcohol and cigarettes. You more than likely sell to an alcoholic or someone who is addicted to tobacco. My point is that if in business you sell to people with values that are different that yours.

I think in the eyes of God a sin is a sin as far as whether you get into Heaven or not....unless of course one is saved. I don't see where the Word tells us we can lose our salvation. But that's probably for another thread.

What does Scripture tell us?

The Bible calls any sex outside of marriage adultery. Even the mere thought of "relations" with another other than your spouse is adultery.
