“Big difference, when we sin we know we are sinning and we ask for repentance.....whereas Sodomites don’t believe they are sinning..”
Excellent point. I very much agree that the difference is repentance, not that someone is somehow a “better” sinner than someone else.
If someone does not know the Lord’s message, our job is to teach them. If someone knows the Lord’s message, but refuses to repent, or job is to pray that they will repent. If someone who knows the Lord asks for forgiveness, we are to forgive them seventy seven times (as many times as needed).
Of course, we have strayed far from the point. The people we are talking about aren’t even homosexual. Blaming homosexuals for the stupid things these people did smacks of false witness. If the point is that the world is evil, what else is new? Homosexuals aren’t solely to blame. Man’s evil nature is to blame. EVERYONE falls short of God’s glory.
[ For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it. Accountable to God. ]
So you know what God knows?... You’re putting me on?..
