"You are speaking the homosexual propaganda which you must have read somewhere or been brain washed by the world. It's so sad to see it effecting so many people today. The Word of God is clear on the issue!
Example of the propaganda you are saying using another sin:
There is a big difference between condemning the sin of murder
and condemning people simply for hating their brother.
The one is Biblically justifiable the other is not.
Would you tell Jesus Christ the propaganda you are using here to his face?
Jesus Christ Condemned both thought and deed by his own words!"
With all due respect, as I have said before and I will say again, I am not espousing homosexual propaganda since I am not espousing the homosexual cause. What I am defending is their God-given and inalienable human right to be treated as human beings just like the rest of us. Let me spell it out for you...IT IS TOTALLY WRONG TO CONDEMN SOMEONE TO THE EVERLASTING LAKE OF FIRE SIMPLY FOR HAVING SINFUL THOUGHTS OF A HOMOSEXUAL NATURE IF THEY ARE SEEKING TO LIVE BY FAITH AND "TAKING CAPTIVE EVERY THOUGHT TO MAKE IT OBEDIENT TO CHRIST (2COR.10:5) RATHER THAN GIVING IN TO THE DESIRE WHICH WHEN CONCEIVED GIVES BIRTH TO SIN WHICH IN TURN GIVES BIRTH TO DEATH (JAS.1:15). THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE AS JESUS HIMSELF ALSO HAD SINFUL THOUGHTS (INCLUDING THOSE OF A HOMOSEXUAL NATURE - "...TEMPTED IN EVERY WAY...") YET WAS WITHOUT SIN (HEB.4:15). SHOULD WE ALSO CONSIGN HIM TO THE EVERLASTING FIRES ON THE SAME BASIS?!
You seem to be fixated on the idea that if someone has a homosexual orientation then they cannot possibly be a Christian (and are therefore destined for the everlasting Lake of Fire) and if they are a Christian then there is no way that they can have a homosexual orientation. But this is just not true. It is not simply a case of either/or. Some people with homosexual orientations really are seeking to live by faith and learning to live with their sexual orientations (along with the rest of their lives) under the Lordship of Christ. God in his sovereign mercy accepts them and credits their faith to them as righteousness. Therefore, who are we to say that God is wrong to do that and should instead consign them to the everlasting Lake of Fire for being a homosexual (something over which a homosexual person has no more control than another person has over his ethnic origin or the colour of his skin (Michael Jackson not withstanding) or the nature of the sinful thoughts which enter his mind, though what he does with them once they are there is a different matter.)
This is NOT homosexual propaganda it is Biblical truth correctly interpreted and applied. I do agree unequivocally that homosexuality both as a practice and a lifestyle is sin. But to say that a person is destined for the Lake of Fire simply because he has sinful thoughts of a homosexual nature (on which he does not dwell) is to go way beyond the clear teachings of scripture and shows that the heart of such a "gospel" is bigoted legalism not mercy.
