I don't know, but if it were up to me, it would be one strike and you are out with no parole.
After all, Christ did say if you look at a woman with lust in your heart....maybe the same thing applies to a man, or to a child.
But don't you think there is SOME difference between thinking about doing something and actually doing it?
Both secular and church law take that into consideration, at the very least.
I don't there's a person in existence who wouldn't admit to at least occasionally having "bad" or "sinful" thoughts if he or she was honest.
I'm not saying everyone is a homosexual, just that we're all sinners. That's what the poster who spoke of "digging too deeply" meant.
If you are saying we all have impure thoughts, then I would agree. If you are saying we all have impure homo thoughts, I disagree. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm not saying everyone is a homosexual,"
In other words, I'm not saying everyone has homosexual thoughts or desires...I'm saying everyone is a sinner.

That goes without saying.
