[quote=Anonymous][quote]OP here- have you read the Bible? Eating shrimp and homosexuality are surely not equivalent. It is clearly written in the New Testament that you can eat what you want: [/quote]

For the sake of argument let's just say... homosexuality is a sin, It is also written in the New Testament ...

Matthew 7:12 New International Version
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you

Matthew 7:1
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged.

So even it is a sin, homosexual people should be treated just like everybody else, just like the gluttonous overweight men and women in your congregation. They should be welcomed and not judged and their "sins" and their relationship with God has nothing to do with you.

Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.
Roman 12:19

But, I don't think the New Testaments says homosexuality is a sin... why... because translations and meanings of words....

My son wants to work for IRS, does that mean he is a sinner?

Jesus said to “treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector” (Matthew 18:17).

Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?’” (Mark 2:15–16)

"unnatural" in your quotes... we don't know what that means... or what the original word was that was used and how many translation it went through. Maybe the translator was homophobic and when translating assumed "unnatural" mean homosexual relations.

There is nothing in Jesus's teachings that can make me believe that when 2 loving adults want to love each other it is a sin. Though I see lots of heterosexual sins. I wonder about people's obsession with homosexual "sin".
