Not exact matches
So the lesbian couple who left sex far behind them aren't in sin even though they're in a long term
committed love relationship and the two elderly gentlemen who no longer have sex are also not in sin, and yet these are
homosexual relationships between
people who choose to share their lives.
We've isolated and condemned homosexuality as an especially egregious sin because 1) it's a sexual thing (and we're obsessed with sex), 2) it's relatively easy to identify and name, (unlike gossip and materialism and greed, which are condemned more often in the Bible and are more pervasive in our culture), and 3) it is «other,» (when you're straight, and in no danger of
committing homosexual acts yourself, it's easy to call it an abomination because it's easier to remove specks from others
people's eyes.)
Those who welcome with open arms
people who
commit greed, lust, thievery, etc. but cross their fingers and hide when approached by a
homosexual.
