1 | Homosexual are picked on in the church? | Rom 3:23 | journey_me | 177301 | ||
I was researching homosexuality on this website, and everyone seems to point to 1 Cor 6:9, as proof that homosexuality is wrong. The problem that I have is that this verse names every sin, and every human being falls under one of those categories, so why do people ignore the rest of the verse, and pick on homosexuals. Every human being is either an idolater, adulterer, covetous, swindler, immoral, or a fornicator in some way are another. Why are all these people allowed to be Christians, but homosexuals are not. Every human being is a sinner and being a homosexual is no different from being a fornicator, God said sexual immorality is wrong. Why are ministers allowed to hold positions in the church when they are not married, we know they having sex. Why are pregnant women who are not married allowed right and benefits when we know they are fornicators. Can someone please show me or advised me, where the bible singles out homosexuality as the only damning sin. For the record I am not gay, I'm married with 2 children, but I was reading some of the comments and I was outraged. My brother-in-law is gay and his brother won't talk to him because the bible says it's wrong, however he is not married and lost his virginity at 14. |

2 | Homosexual are picked on in the church? | Rom 3:23 | mark d seyler | 177302 | ||
Hi Journey me, You are completely correct in the points you make. We are all equally guilty before God, and we are all equally inelgible to condemn each other. Those who focus on a part of Scripture and ignore other parts demonstrate neither a balanced nor correct view of Scripture. Jesus, in His ministry while on the earth, did not impute people's sins against them (see 2 Cor 5). He was here to reconcile mankind to God. Now we have received that ministry of reconciliation. What can that mean but that now we are not to impute people's sins against them - as if they were even sinning against us! But it's not my law the sinner breaks, it's God's law. And so it is God the sinner answers to. Whether they be a drug addict in the street, or the sexually immoral in the pulpit. Each will answer to God for their sin. Unless, of course, they repent and believe in Jesus. I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |

Thank you Mark, that's what I am saying. I'm not condoning any sin, I am asking why is homosexuality so politicized in the church. Before we pick on one, we need to evaluate all. |
