A “serious Christian” is not going to be a homosexual unless they are celibate and repetent about it

A “serious Christian” is not going to be a drunkard

A “serious Christian” is not going to be unfaithful

A “serious Christian” is not going to be envious

I always thought a “serious Christian” was a sinner who needs Christ.

I agree, someone cannot be a "serious Christian" and live an immoral lifestyle of any kind.

Everyone has their own set of struggles and weaknesses in temptation. I really feel sorry for someone who is tempted in that area.

It's that *sin that so easily besets us* thing.

Good article! I just saw an article a few days ago from the Los Angeles Times about "scientists" discovering a biological connection to pedophilia in some people. Just as the so-called consensus now, that homosexuality is inborn, it won't be long before the inclination of adult men to have sex with young children will also have to be accepted by society and become a new "right". Just shows what happens when nations abandon God and His principles and reach the point where "every man does what is right in his own eyes".

I'm happy that "Tim" has discovered that the Lord gives strength to those who desire to obey Him regardless of their human wants OR needs. Many people do as he said, even in some churches, and they actually encourage others to do things they KNOW is a sin, all in the attempt to appear "cool" or with it or understanding. Homosexuality is certainly nothing new. It obviously was a problem almost from the time mankind began, and God NEVER condoned the actions - He calls it an abomination. Just as He does, we should love the sinner (since we all are sinners) but hate the sin and we CAN help fellow Christians to overcome any sin in their lives so that they are free to serve God in truth and honor Him with bodies that are "living sacrifices" to His glory.

I have known quite a few gay & lesbians, and can count on one hand, not a full hand, the “stable” ones. And of those, only one seemed to be pretty downright normal. All of the others make me sad to think about what went wrong in their lives, what terrible burden that they must be carrying, that only faith and forgiveness can heal.

This whole piece comes across as high level liberal propaganda... like a movie celebrating violence by showing it - wallowing in it - then doing a little wrap-up of standard morality at the end of the film. The real 'message' being enjoyment of violence.

In this piece the subliminal message is 'we're all sinners and God loves us so it's OK to be gay' because no one's perfect'. It's the old 'everyone's doing it so don't judge' crap that every liberal uses as their mantra.

But of course liberals do judge, and very harshly. They judge conservatives, traditional values, loving families, being honest, telling the truth... etc...
