I think it wiser to pray that others (steeped in whatever sins they are steeped in) come to Christ ... then the Holy Spirit will bring the power they need to desist in whatever sins they are finding hard to leave behind.
Without Christ all attempts to correct sin is futile ... even success in correcting our wayward ways without Christ is but a fleshly outward act. There is only one thing that is truly effective against sin and truly beneficial to our present and future and that is the blood of Christ Jesus.

I see that you are a new member.......so I will refrain from my usual responses to these "hot button issue" postings. But, I will be tracking your creation of threads to see if this posting of "hot button issue" topics becomes the norm for you. That will reveal very much to all here. Anyway, like I said, I'll bow out and just kinda hang around to see how you progress from here..........
Have a blessed day

Because they have not been singled out and picked on enough already? Hmmm.
I wonder if homosexuality gets picked on so much because it is the one sin that
most heteros have not committed. Why don't you go after liars or adulterers?
One person here keeps asking what is the point of being gay if you are not going
to have gay sex? Do we ask that of heterosexuals? Hmmm.

Yes, well we hide these sins inside ourselves, so we aren't exalting them, we are hiding them because we don't dare exalt them - we are exalting ourself. Because they are hidden from us, we feel secure to focus on someone elses sin, and in this way, we think we can condemn them for their sin because it is so visible. But no one can focus on the beam in their own eye if they are focusing only on the visible sins of others and tsking about what a travesty their sin is. We should see that our holiness and righteousness exceeds theirs before we dare condemn them for being sinners. And hidden sin in us while simultaneously focusing on visible sin in others is something God hates.
Exodus 20:13-16
[SUP]13 [/SUP]“You shall not murder.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]“You shall not commit adultery.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]“You shall not steal.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
How many Christians in the Church today lie??
How many Christians in the Church today steal??
How many Christians in the Church today commit adultery??
Just remember when you point a finger at a person who is a Homosexual, there are 4 fingers pointing back at you!!!
You say thou shalt not be a Homosexual, do you lie?
You say thou shalt not be a Homosexual, do you steal?
You say thou shalt not be a Homosexual, do you commit adultery?
You say thou shalt not be a Homosexual, do you murder?
The sin of lying is just as great as the sin of being Gay!

As far as I understand things we are to exhort those WITHIN the church ... and preach the gospel to those outside of the church.
1 COR 5: 12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”

2Ti 2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
2Ti 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
God said there is going to be some hypocrites running around,but there are a lot more of them today than before time,like the saying,Mama said there would be days like this,but she didn't tell me there would be so many of them.
