GG~the article states that the Vatican teaches homosexuality is not a sin, but homosexual acts are. This is where they error. For a person to proclaim they are homosexual, even if they haven't been sexually immoral, is sinful because their thoughts, intents, and motives are sinful. The Lord Jesus Christ clearly teaches this in Matthew 5:27-28. The latter part of verse 28 is where you find the teaching of sinful intent...'has already committed adultery with her in his heart'{Gr.-kardios-meaning 'thoughts, feelings, mind}. For those who hate, they are considered murderers {Mat. 5:21-22} The intentions of the heart and mind are sinful, which is why what Mike posted is important for us to read and understand.
The Apostle Paul understood this as well and gives us this from 2 Cor. 10:5, "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity EVERY THOUGHT to the obedience of Christ"
So when GG says, 'thinking sexual thoughts about women is not a sin', he is terribly mistaken. Those who say 'I think' or 'I believe' are merely forming for themselves a graven image, a god they have molded and shaped by their opinions as opposed the the Almighty's Holy Word.

Let me ask you this GG, when a man or woman has sexual relations outside of marriage, is this because they are 'born that way'? When sin is glossed over and sugarcoated, then it becomes less offensive and more acceptable. You would benefit greatly from sticking to what the word of God says about all sin - not excusing it, but speaking out against it. "Behavior" is just a less offensive way of saying 'wicked, vile sinner'. Evil thoughts, whether they 'vanquish from the mind' or not, are none the less sinful GG. They too must be repented of.
No where does God call us to 'protect' sinful man, or creation for that matter. We are called to proclaim the Gospel, to give the lost the law of God, and show them from His law their crimes against a Holy God. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the good news to those who come under conviction. The heart must be broken over the sins committed.

Your postings are laced with anti-semitism and defense of the Muslim faith...what is your motive Banned? What religion do you adhere to?

Banned, you said, 'Islam is the fastest growing religion, NOT by the point of the sword, but by attracting people by holy living, fear and reverence to God...'
You need to check out www.opendoorsusa.org/
Here is a sample...Muslim zealots jail convert, burn home of another, in Somalia, a mother and daughter raped...
From Nigeria, six pastors killed, 40 churches razed, as smoke clears, mayhem ignited by Muslim attacks leaves 25,000 people displaced...
Christian family in Bangladesh beaten,cut, and faces charges. Muslim neighbors, local council threaten to burn home if they file assault case...
This sounds nothing like what you described Banned.

Are you of the Muslim faith Banned?

We all must continue to pray fervently for the lost.

Let's not forget Acts 20:27.

You seem to be saying the Gospel is powerless to change a lost sinner. Romans 1:16 differs with your statement, "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the POWER of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek".
You will not change anybody, you or I do not have that kind of power. Ephesians 2:8,9 makes it clear how salvation works, God's grace. Only the word of God holds the power to change and transform a life. You may very well establish a friendship with lost sinners, but unless the word of God is given, we cannot expect a lost sinner to see the seriousness of their sin, the need for repentance, and the glory and beauty of the cross.
It is a shame you were taught to avoid people who were different; but that may have stemmed from 2 Corinthians 6:14. We should be very careful as we reach the lost {Jude 22}. Without proclaiming the Gospel, no one will be saved {Romans 10:17}. May the Lord guide all of us as we proclaim His truth.

I ask you again Banned, are you a Muslim?
