Anymore than stupidity?? Or sexual addiction, or gluttony, or pride or arrogance, or greed, or vanity, or selfishness, or an inability to recognise the down fall of others whilst forgetting our own. The log in the eye thing.

Do you not KNOW or do you just not agree with what Scripture says about it - as it is anything but ambiguous on the subject!Mel: ...is being homosexual wrong? I don't know.
Which is a TERRIBLE way to determine the truth of this issue. One should never try to determine Scriptural truth based upon their personal experiences.Mel: I honestly do not know. I have my background telling me yes. And I have my life experience telling me otherwise.
All manner of people we love and like, respect in many ways, are on their way to Hell - that is what the Gospel prolifically preaches. Of course, many don't want to believe this. So they cherry-pick Scripture.Mel: In my walk, I have had the unique and beautiful experience of having such an eclectic bunch of gorgeous people cross my path, in contrast to a very grounded, religious experience.
And right there, we see an unScriptural assumption, that GOD created people to "BE" a way He also called sinful. But once someone buys into this false belief, I can see how it drives a lot of their false assumptions surrounding this topic.Mel: The whole notion that it's okay to be gay...
Um, actually, it is homosexual ACTIONS that are sinful, and not merely the temptations of a sin nature. Am I not naturally attracted to all manner of sexy women I see. Would I want to sexually pursue them? What male hasn't entertained the thought - and many of them Christians. But we are not apes or wild dogs. We do not have to act upon our temptations, although they are natural to our (sin) nature, and thus ARE a natural desire. Of course, this is true of any sinful desires and temptations a person has. Just because we have them, we don't HAVE to act upon their temptations.Mel: ...but not have gay sex is just as realistic as being heterosexual but never having actual sex
What a crock of unrealistic bullcrap

Certainly, it can be argued, adultery is far worse. It is after all, one of the big 10 !
That said, homosexuality is viewed as ok, viewed as natural and even celebrated ( at times in very raunchy ways and in public - Gay Pride Parades).
Imagine Mel, if you will, if we celebrated the other things you mentioned as sin, in the same way.

We do, you guys on here celebrate calling people names and attacking someones character, we wed divorced couples and celebrate their weddings, I bet half the people on here are obese and so on and so on. You all celebrate your own sin everyday, you are a bunch of hypocrites and legalists, plain and simple.

We are hypocrites?
Yet you yourself say you aren't perfect either. Does saying that give you a free ticket to judge others?
Paul warned us to be careful judging others lest we find ourselves doing the same thing.

Where did I make a judgement? Did I say you were bad people, did I say you were going to hell, did I say you weren't really Christians. I made no judgements, just an observation.
