I tell people that their problem isn’t with me. Their problem is with God. If you believe the Bible is “God-breathed” and inerrant, you must clearly notice Scripture’s hatred of sexual sins - not just homosexual ones but adultery and fornication as well. God considers them all the same and calls on the sinner to humbly repent.

We don’t see Adultery Pride Marches on Main St. or “Adultery Is OK” classes taught to our school children or those would be condemned just as thoroughly.

Now, if you believe the Bible is NOT God-breathed and inerrant, then you are practicing apostasy and are not truly Christian. If you get to pick and choose what parts of the Bible you believe in, then the Bible has no weight or authority as well. I could just as easily start a “Christian” sect that claims murder is okay and just delete all the Bible’s references against murder or excuse them away. It would be just as “Christian” as any liberal church that embraces and supports unrepentant homosexual activity.

Now, the homosexual, just as the adulterer or murderer, can be saved if they repent and honestly openly accept Jesus as their Savior but it means turning from their past sins and acknowledging them as sin, not holding pep rallies for their sin and demanding others embrace them for it. God is willing to examine the human heart and save the soul but He has no obligation to spare us from the earthly consequences of our sin. It’s not a “Get Out of Jail Free” card. And those who knowingly mock God’s mercy by flaunting their sin will suffer the consequences. That’s not me saying that - it’s the God-breathed, inerrant Bible that says that.

Exactly!

Tearing out and/or changing Biblical meaning causes one to play God.

Just reading about what heaven is like and what hell is like and taking that to mind and heart, keeps me on my path with Jesus, although I still sin, a lot in my mind but not spoken.

Just read most of Genesis last night- a good refresher course on God's power and majesty!
