Well, so far, I appreciate a decent, civil discussion of yet another very difficult topic.
I must clarify the whole "grading" of sin deal. I do believe that in God's eyes, there is a gradation of sin. However, it just may not be exactly the gradation that we, as humans, think it is. I am NOT soft on homosexuality. I am, however, compassionate toward homosexuals.
As far as my personal thinking is concerned, I agree with Rhoni & Newman that the worst sins are sexual sins committed against an innocent child. The damage from an unscrupulous pervert indelibly "branded" on the spirit of a child is "almost" unforgiveable, IMO.
All sins have the ability to condemn to hell....sin is sin. "For him who knows to do good and does it not, to him it is sin."
I do not believe that homosexuality is acceptable in any way and that it is, indeed, perversion. That being said, why does homosexuality receive a larger "red letter" than the other perversions?
