Hypocrisy of Hating Homosexuality, While Ignoring Cohabitation and Adultery

BUDAPEST, Hungary May 2/Christian Newswire/ -- Statistics show that 25% of unmarried "born again" Christians are living together. This reveals an apparent hypocrisy in condemning homosexuality, while not condemning heterosexual immorality. Sad to say, co-habitation is on the increase and its participants also include the Catholic and Christian community.

BFA believes there is also a need to condemn not only adultery in its blatant form of cheating on a spouse, but its camouflaged form by easy divorce to pursue second and third marriages. This has been done by those who describe themselves either as Catholic, Evangelical and even more startling the born again Christian.

"There is no doubt that homosexuality is immoral before God, we see that in the scriptures, but the very same scriptures hate the immorality of unbiblical divorces and cohabitations. God does not wink at sin just because it's a heterosexual committing it" says Phil Magnan, Director of Biblical Family Advocates. "Apparently heterosexuals are setting the example for the homosexual community thinking that if you are 'loving and monogamous,' it must be acceptable before God."

"How can we as Christians have any moral credibility before God and man when we are practicing the very thing we condemn in the form of immoral marital practices? Until we show as much hatred for our own sin in our churches and demand repentance we will continue to destroy the sanctity of marriage, even more than same sex marriage proponents. We have not been a very good example of morality or godliness before God and man."

BFA is pleading with the Christian community to begin times of repentance and reflection as we take up the banner of morality and righteousness in Christ's name. If the Christian community cannot show true repentance and transformation in their own churches, how will they be able to offer Biblical and loving help to those who wish to escape their own bondage of sin?

Heterosexuality doesn’t shave 20 years off your life, last I checked.

You haven't met my ex-wife. (symbols crash). ;-)

Cohabitation and adultery while immoral, is not an agenda being pushed into public policy for forced acceptance. The squeaky wheel comes to mind.

[nativist]

Does God require a judge or preacher to confirm what he has joined together?

Did David commit adultery when he took another mans wife? What about when he took many wives? Which ones did he commit adultery with or against? Did Jacob commit adultery against Leah or Rachel or maybe against both their servant girls. Its so confusing.

[Bulldawg Fan]

Exactly, the Adultry lobby isnt in the media daily demanding we accept their lifesytle as normal and healthy.

[babble-on]

that’s pretty naive!!

[N3WBI3]

They (the authors) are not wrong it is just as evil to cohabitate or soil the marriage bed as it is to act on homosexual impulses.

**BUT**

I don't See parades and kids books pushing unmarried couples as a good and healthy thing..

[GadareneDemoniac]

“Biblical Family Advocates” needs to examine the cost of divorce to understand why this is going on. The real sin here is covetousness, one of the “Big Ten” as I recall.

[zeller the zealot]

Not a bad article except for asking “ How can we as Christians have any kind of moral credibility...?” Please, that shows a very poor biblical understanding of our real need of salvation. We are corrupt and sinful whether we condemn cohabitation or not. Who cares what non-Christians think?

[Mr. Brightside]

When was the last “Cohabitation Pride Day”?

When was the last time that public schools taught kids to explore their sexuality to discover if they are “cohabitators”?

[Mr. Brightside]

That being said, I have gone round and round with posters here like Ol’Sparky who thinks that the Constitution and American history allow for the execution of homosexuals.

[stockpirate]

repentance means changing your heart ie behavior, so homo’s need to repeat and change their behavior.

[Just mythoughts]

Does not the Bible say ‘judgment’ will begin at the House of God???? Now if the preacher/priest class keeps finding themselves involved in these sins, they hardly are in the position to teach Biblical instruction.

Did not Christ have something to say about the law of Moses? Matthew 23:2.

I keep getting told that as Christian that I should love the sinner and hate the sin. Hmmmm.... yet at the same time I am told by many that homosexuality is who these people are....

[bremenboy]

What you have is to many so called preachers and churches promoting a watered down Gospel.

Cohabitation and Adultery will send you soul to hell just a fast as Homosexuality.

years ago that would have been the lesson from every pulpit in the nation. already we can see many false churches accepting the homosexual while still in a homosexual relationship. For many churches God is is just a way to make a dollar.

[soccermom]

This has long been my argument. It isn't about homosexuality for me -- any sex outside of marriage is a sin and "Christians" who constantly condemn homosexuality while engaging in their own extra-martial practices are hypocrites.

[true_blue_texican]

At least the cohabitators and adulterers know where to put a penis.

[soccermom]

Of course it isn't being pushed anymore -- because it is already mainstream. Have you taken a look at welfare policies lately?

[bremenboy]

Exactly, the Adultry lobby isnt in the media daily demanding we accept their lifesytle as normal and healthy.

The reson the adultry lobby isn't in the media daily demanding we accept their lifesytle is that it is allready been accepted.

[outofstyle]

From a "Christian" perspective, the article makes an obvious point. We are all sinners and none of us can live up to the moral standards of God. As Christians we should recognize that the behaviors described in the article are equally sinful.

Society however, for many reasons, may justifiably condom homosexuality as a greater evil than cohabitation.
