Allright, so I've got lots of bi/homosexual friends, right? I have no problem with them in themselves. THey're great fun and just rad people. Homosexuality ITSELF I do have an issue with, though. I severely dislike seeing a guy and girl make out, much less two of the same sex, I see no point in prosecuting those who are homosexual.
However, and I will get to my point soon enough, Christians constantly scream, yell, and generally treat homosexuals like dirt. LOVE THY NEIGHBOR, people! THey're human and make mistakes just like you! And actually, they should be pitied and prayed for rather than persecuted! In "They Might Expel Demons" (I forgot who the author is/was) a priest recalls expelling a demon from a young man-a homosexual demon that constantly tried to seduce any man--even the priest. However, praise God Almighty, the demon was expelled and the boy was freed from the chains of loving another of the same sex.
Now, for my real question, (Since Mike is the guru of all Word , lol, and I've looked this up myself and found nothing to see):
In Revelations 21:8 it says those who PRACTICE homosexuality are doomed to hell.
So does that mean that people who are homosexual yet do not practice (dating, sex, etc, etc) homosexuality itself are not sinning? Or am I taking this the wrong way?
I've gotten in several debates about Christians vs. Homosexuality and have brought this up before, but have left empty-handed and with no explanation. Care to tell me y'all's?
