Ok, a christian can sin but a sinner (homosexual) can't have God's spirit in him. Am I wrong on this?
God and sin cannot dwell in the same vessel.

I don't think ANYONE who deliberately walks in sin, without resisting it, without repenting, is a spirit-filled Christian. It doesn't matter what kind of sin it is.
I think we all struggle with the flesh, and I don't believe that because a person struggles with homosexuality that he can't be a Christian. However, a person who accepts sin into their lives, deliberately practices it, and lies to others and tells them they are saved in their sin, rather than from it? Sorry, that's not Christianity.

Well I do believe that God can fill a homosexual with the Holy Ghost. Last time I read, that was God's business and not ours to decide. Please don't get mad at me folks. All that you say is having a great impression. And I appreciate it. Jeff.
you need to study what Paul's gospel was....hint....it had nothing to do with being gay.
edjen, I don't need any "hints." LOL!!!!! The principles found in God's Word can be applied to our lives in any number of ways--that's the beauty of it.
But Paul DID address homosexuality in "his" gospel. (It really is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, by the way.)

It's quite interesting to hear the different opinions and to sense the differences of spirit that is being expressed. Believe it or not, it's helping me quite a bit. Jeff.
