That's true. The point is, when money falls, all of these things will go with it.
Now ask yourself, what good is a written law that says don't be gay, when in your heart you have forgiven the gay man? The power is IN forgiveness! It demonstrates the love of God, which covers sins and not expose them.
Lust is another word we are confused by. The point I was making is that even with your significant other, it all started as PHYSICAL. I can't fall in love with her mind, I don't know her. But the "attraction" itself was not taught. When I reached a certain age of maturity, I just liked females. So in viewing my own life examples, there is no such thing as a man who went through what I went through in realizing that I really like girls, but "choosing" have sex with another man.
This don't happen. When a child is born without 5 fingers or toes, one less arm or leg, we don't ostracize the child and tell him he's a sinner because he is not naturally made how a person should be. Why can't we understand the spiritual aspect of this?

Please note his posts in the past, under his different names:
Posts by Flamingspirit under locked thread, A Biblical verse on accepting our gay brethren: Acts 8:26-40:
-"Condemning gays to hell IS judging according to the flesh. It's judging only by what you see. Put yourself in a gay mans shoes and ask yourself what can happen in your life that will make you gay. In learning to sympathize with him, you will learn that forgiveness in your brother and not condemning him simply by what you see, is walking in the Spirit!
What power can any law have against the man I forgave!?"
-"A man who is born disabled, one arm or leg, 6 fingers on one hand, is this also against the visible nature of God? Are they also sinners who need to repent?
I have yet to meet a man who is attracted to females, but sleep with men to simply do it."
Posts by Flamingspirit under thread, What Part of the Law is That?:
- "Seeing as not having money is the direct reason that most in the world are starving, homeless or sickly, what law of God commands us to use it?"
- "If we had no money, no one will starve or be homeless. No one would steal if all things were free. Money is a lifeless piece of paper. Why make it an idol any longer?"
- "Money is imaginary. It is only needed because we believe and accept it to be. The garden is in the mind. Now if I had something you want, I can either give it to you or demand something in return. It is a choice."
- "What do you think you're under if I say getting rid of money will greatly benefit all of mankind and I get every excuse why we should keep believing debt is real. The world is $40 trillion in debt..... TO WHO???"
Being gay is not a sin. Shunning him for being such IS! If we are not gathering, then we are surely scattering abroad.
And before anyone start posting verses trying to explain that it is, I ask what do you believe Christ changed with His death? Simply killing sheep and other animals in a building?
5 fingers, toes, 2 working arms and legs are "normal" too. If one is born without one or more of these, do you treat him the same as the gay man? All of this stems from faulty teaching, in so much that we do not know what marriage is! It is the Union of the spirit and the flesh. And what God has put together, LET NO MAN TEAR ASUNDER!
I do and will continue to defend such people from murderers seeking his life. We are so confused about the bible that even today most believe that Sodom was destroyed because the whole city was gay! 1000's upon 1000's of them! How the hell were they or any other kids born then? Again I know what the law says. You however have the power to forgive. Simply excercise it!
If someone new talks about everyone being in heaven, about doing away with money, and about children being born with incomplete appendages, among other things, be ready to report, so he could be banned AGAIN. This is the 3RD time I've seen him spreading heresies in this forum.
