Bible Question: I completely understand your point. My point to my original question is this. Why is there not a hatred for the sin of child molesters or why is it not as out as homosexuals is today? Why is there not as much hatred for the sin of those who commit incest, adultery, pergury, kidnaping. All of these sins have punishment of death. Why are we as a Chrisitan society so focused on homosexuals? Would not the molesters, liars, kidnapers condemn the family as much as the homosexuals would? How about the adulters? They are not keeping the family together? Why are we not making blanket statements and taking away these people's civil liberts as well. |
Bible Answer: I'm responding here, before I read any more post, and I know that there are a bunch of them. Any sin that you do that is of a sexual nature, be it homosexuality, child molestor, adultry, fornication outside of marriage, masturbation from thinking of someone besides your spouse (and I mean spouse being of the opposite sex!) because women masturbate as well as men. These are all sins of a sexual nature and are all treated as equal. 1 Cor 6:13 "... The body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body." then in 1 Cor 7:2 "But because of immoralities, each man should have relations with his own wife and each woman with her own husband." You notice here it says man (husband) with woman (wife), woman (wife) with man (husband), not man with man or woman with woman. To me that's pretty clear. Then in Eph 5:3 "But among you there must not be either sexual immorality, impurity of any kind, or greed, as these are not fitting for the saints." The only subject that I'm aware of that gets nearly as much subject matter than sexual sins in the Bible is murder. If you read the Bible, then you find sexual sin everywhere. From Lot's daughters getting him drunk and sleeping with him in Genesis all the way to John's Revlation. No wonder so much emphisis is on sexual sin and how bad it is. It IS possible to change the way you think and act, even in the 21st century. It IS possible! You CAN live a sexual sin free life. I found out how! Just ask an ex-smoker about the sins of smoking. He'll tell you. Just ask an ex-sinner about the evils of sinning. He'll tell you. I'm both, I'll tell you. And, since I've been there, I know what I'm talking about. Your brother in Christ, Russ |
