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.

Sis...

I agree. Sin is sin and all sin will be cast into hell right along with the unrepentant that clings to it. That is a given. My point was to the degree of abominations involved.

While I am not sure what you are speaking of concerning the things that he has had to to overcome, if he only thinks in black and white with no degrees of variation in view, he is a very fragile vessel indeed. I must have compassion for him.

Concerning sexual sins, it appears that the sin of homosexuality is placed on the same level of all sexual sins. Here, I would disagree also. Homosexual sins are so abominal to a sane mind as to be almost unthinkable. Adultery is a horrible sin but there is none so black and perverted as a homosexual sin.

I am reminded of how Napoleon felt about it. He had the homosexuals shot during a battle by his own men. The sin was such an unspeakable abomination that I was almost an adult before I ever heard of it. When I first learned about it and what they do to each other in their same-sex bedrooms, I was shocked beyond belief.

Time are different now. Today, they are legally getting married to each other. They are in-your-face with it, flaunting it as something glorious. Then when I heard about homosexual Apostolic Churches, I wondered what am I doing here on this planet. It has become a weird and grotesque planet with a gorgoyle population, much of which is in the church.
