You quote James 2:10 to show that all sin is on the same level! Well I would like to propose something different...Saying all sin is equal is like saying all wrong is equally wrong! Like stealing a piece of bread to avoid starvation is equally bad to stealing somebodies child... Like punching someone in the face in an argument is equally wrong to shooting somebody in cold blood because they offended you! What James 2:10 is getting at, is not that all sin is equal (because it is not Matthew 12:31-32) but rather any sin-small or great means we fall short of the glory of God... and also, by Moses law, different sins had different punishment! Note also that homosexuality is destable to God... Leviticus 20:13 !
Jesus died on the cross and that is why we have hope to be in relationship with God. All sin is not equal!I am not having a crack at you "Megaman"...Just discussing the topic
I know that God has given these people over to their perverse minds... Romans 1:24...what intrigues me is why they want to get married in a church? How can a pastor marry gay couples? It is against Christianity (Leviticus 20.13)!!! If they want to get married, let them do it in a park! However, they want to symbolize God joining them! They want to be accepted by society! I feel the church should welcome in anybody that is hurt or need so that we can guide them to live for God... If you have sinned and need a family the church should be there...But back in South Africa, A young girl got pregnant and the church kicked her out!!! I mean, WOW, doesn't she now need the church's help more than ever?? It is important that Jesus remains the center of our focus! Jesus didn't come to change the law! he came to fulfill it! If it was abhorred by God then, it will still be so today! Note: God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of this!!! When the 3 angels came to Lot's house, the men from the city wanted to rape them! They didn't accept Lot's offer of his daughters, they insisted on having the men... And God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah!! Please note, this is a very very serious sin!!
There is hope!! (Matthew 12:31) This sin can be forgiven!! Jesus loves us all! We need to preach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Commander to the world and let the Holy Spirit Guide us!! Amen
