What is your position on homosexuality, at that?
All sex outside of heterosexual marriage is sinful. Not worthy of elevation above other sins, and certainly not unforgivable.
I take my view from 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Homosexuality isn’t singled out, nor does it even lead the list. It is right next to stealing and greediness. And all of it can be washed clean.
Okay. Is homosexual desire (as opposed to activity) a choice? If so, can you back that up? If not, why has God created people who can never be sexually fulfilled without damning themselves? Why does marriage, the only haven for sinless sex, exclude them?
This is a general query, commenters. I’m not challenging you, really; these questions are stock standard. I just want to understand your position.
