I haven't seen a SINGLE person on ANY thread here say that the sin of homosexuality will exclude someone from salvation. Why are you building this strawman? Homosexuals, like ALL sinners, can accept Jesus and be saved, but that requires an admitting of the sin AND repentance of it. Being "born with" the desire for homosexuality is totally irrelevant. We are ALL "born with" various sinful desires. Refusing to acknowledge that those desires are sinful and not repenting of them IS the issue. Also, the Bible says more about homosexuality than just Lev. 18: 22. Romans 1:24-27 lay out very strong language against lesbianism and homosexuality:
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. [SUP]25 [/SUP]They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
[SUP]26 [/SUP]Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. [SUP]27 [/SUP]In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
