What didn't it have to do with your reply?
You made it sound like the Gospel was totally inclusive of anything and everything. So, homosexuals are definitely candidates of damnation if they continue in their perverted lifestyle. So, by your accusation of me just holding an opinion and you standing on the Word is farcical. Because when challenged you cop out with a plea of not wanting to debate? Listen, don't tell anyone it's their opinion if you aren't prepared to back it up with some book, chapter, and verse.

Exactly!

Maybe you should do less standing on it, and more reading of it.

So, let me just say... It won't get you into heaven.

Me thinks the lady doth protest too much. LOL!

You know, I didn't see anything about homosexuality in your above statement. It worries me when people read homosexuality into everything. Maybe their minds are on things other than the topic at hand.

Homosexuality is a sin. However, God specializes in forgiving sinners, cleaning them up, and making them acceptable in His sight.

Right now, in today's culture, it worries me that we're so ready to bash one specific kind of sin over others. Sinners are sinners. Come one, come all. Christ forgives, imputes His own righteousness, and allows us to enter the process of sanctification under the umbrella of His grace.

God also specializes in taking the most imperfect of circumstances and people and making them something beautiful.

I believe that had the woman brought to Jesus who was caught in adultery have been a gay man caught in sodomy.... Jesus' response would have been the same.

John 8:3-11
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
