In Reply to: sexual orientation a sin? posted by gay exer on June 15, 2006 at 10:16:49:
My considering homosexuality a sin is not something I consider it opinion, I don't make the rules. My handbook for ethical beliefs is the Bible, which in my opinion presents without fail the rules for ethical behavior. It is like a map for ethics. It will tel you where youare where you are going and how to get there. I don't doubt there are churches through various denominations that accept and condone homosexuality, but this accepting and condoning are not in line with the denominations doctrinal guidelines. The acceptance of the gay lifestyle as legitimate by some single churches may be happening, but acceptance of the lifestyle by the greater Church or Body of Christ is not happening and not in line with scripture. I'm trying not to judge your viewpoint either, but presenting doctrinal and scriptural fact.
