All sins are equally sinful and all of them bring the same eternity in the lake of fire. All sins, except for blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, bring the same forgiveness to those who repent.

Except for your first three words, I agree with you.
I remember this couple came into the church for a special program and I instantly was overcome with this indignant attitude saying how dare these people desecrate the house of God!!!!
Thank God I was instantly convicted and the thought came to me, if not here, then where can they go and feel the Love of Jesus?
We have to be careful, we have been so conditioned by our religious culture and end up acting the opposite of the way Jesus would have responded to some situations and circumstances.
