However, I do believe and agree with you that sexual sin carries much greater consequences in this life and in fact too often has far reaching effects on others as well. Most lies are not so hard to live with and not so destructive to the soul of others and can be repented of without years of anquish.
Furthermore; I am not going to get to bothered by Chan's position on this because he clearly sees in black and white only. One can clearly see this given his response to the shootings last week.
I will say one more thing... As much as I dislike much of what Chan posts and his hateful and condescending writing style; I have never walked in his shoes and had to overcome what he has. I have to repect that about him.  |
Newman, I agree with you. All sin will land one in hell...but, as you said, and others have inferred...sexual sins are sins against one's self and the other party involved and have far reaching effects on families, friends, and communities which cannot be denied.
We, as people, have our own ideas of which sin is greater, but the fact remains....
ALL sin gets one a one-way ticket to the pit. I for one, see molestation of children as the greatest sin...at least , for most part...the homeosexual sin is between two consenting adults. The two consenting adults sin against themselves, each other, as well as God. I feel more threatened by pedophiles than I do about homosexuals although all are sins.
Sincerely, Rhoni
