Re: Something interesting about gays.
The most bothersome thing about these conversations (to me): If homosexuality is a sin (and I believe it is, according to scripture), then teaching that a person who engages in this particular sin is in good standing with God is not only a lie, but shows a lack of true concern for the sinner. Sin leads to destruction, and sexual sin is particularly destructive. It destroys the body, it destroys the mind and it erodes the human spirit. There is no compassion in the thought process that leaves homosexuals in their sin. None. The truth is what makes us free.
There is more value found in following God's laws than simply the satisfaction of obeying them. His laws have our best interests and fulfillment in mind.
