I'm not going to apologize for hurting your feelings David_1. I've been reading your posts for many months and you desperately lack both knowledge and wisdom. This wouldn't be a problem except that you also have a rebellious spirit toward those of us who don't. Go ahead and retreat into denial but understand that it's a lousy coping mechanism when confronted with the truth. A much better one would be to humble yourself and receive correct instruction.

Incidents of people being running into serious and uber-expensive legal problems merely for refusing to facilitate sexual immorality when homosexuals order them to do so or speaking the biblical view of sin with respect to sexual immorality abound all over Western Civilization today. Here's another one: Street Preacher Arrested for Preaching Homosexuality Is a Sin

A third category? You're obviously not a "liberal progressive." They've got seven categories now and an honorable mention eighth one called 'all of the above'. I kid you not.

Loving someone doesn't mean that you have to have sex with them. Do you have sex with everyone that you love? Of course not. In God's kingdom, love and holiness go together.
"But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.a Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them." -Ephesians 5:3-7.
I know plenty of single celibate Christian people that have not found a suitable mate and they do not disregard God's holiness and use "love" to justify fornicating and/or committing homosexual acts with other people.
"Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood." -Revelations 22:14-15.
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 those 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.
If you really love someone, you don't commit sexual immorality with them. What part of God is holy do you find confusing?

I'm surprised this thread only got 2 pages... normally it's somewhere around 800.
Homosexuality is living outside of the identity that we have had declared over us in Christ. It's a perversion that the devil created in order to mock the sanctity of marraige. Homosexuals believe they are gay, their arousal is authentic, their attraction is authentic. However, it is spiritual oppression and usually from a young age.
Like any habitual sin, it is rooted in not understanding your identity or trying to follow rules such as the law.

Isaiah 1:10-20King James Version (KJV)
10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

Taking God and Christianity out of the equation.
Looking at how mother nature operates. Man on man, or woman on woman seems about as normal too me
as one who would like going around and eating kitty poo,poo.
If one would like to add the Bible into the equation. To help us in avoid judging someone. One might consider looking
into who in the scriptures would be able to tempt some into what is in direct conflict with Gods design and plan
for mankind.
Hint!... It is the same person that Jesus himself while being in the flesh, Prayed and fasted for forty days
before willingly going before this person to be tempted by him.
With that said!...What then is the course of action for those that give into the temptations that go the opposite
of nature, design, and Gods plan for mankind?
Not sure why my computer keeps breaking and dropping my sentences to the nest line

I thought I might share a story. There was a gay man who attended a church I used to go to. (I didn't attend at the time, I was told this story). Anyway the gay man wanted to serve and get involved with the church. Then one day, there was something he didn't feel he could do. He felt unworthy to do it. Then he killed himself.
People received the news with sadness.
Just a word to the wise, I would be careful about the judgment you hold even in your mind against homosexuals.
How long was the Lord patient with your sinning?
He still is?
You are commanded to love by the Lord Jesus. Even your enemy. Even a gay person. For some reason you feel they are so vile to not be either friend or enemy? That's not love.
You have to love them as your neighbor.

Yes love them BUT tell them the truth don't sugar coat the truth The wheat and tare grow together God does the separating. The word convicts and converts. Not us by nature we condemn and judge. It is safe to let the word handle it and use of the word in a skillful fashion not a manipulated version of the word. Right is right and wrong iswrong woe to them that call wrong right and right wrong!
I'm not sure I agree with you about them not knowing its a sin. If that was the case they wouldn't be so angry with Christians. I'm not judging but I think that when the fall into the gay lifestyle and they realize that scripture says it is unnatural (and make no mistake it does say it is unnatural) they seem to want to justify their actions rather than repenting and turning back to God at least from what I gather when I used to read yahoo news feeds. I say if anyone who might be gay reading this, toughen up repent and don't think that true Christianity are a bunch of jocks in the locker room that are going to give you a hard time about it.
