[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP there will never be a satisfactory answer to your question.  I'm a Christian and I don't "care" about any specific sin.  We all sin.  Period.  I don't go around spouting that "this" is a sin and "that" is a sin, but if YOU ask me specifically about "this" or "that", then I'm going to have to say yes, it's a sin. Quit trying to play gotcha and just understand that we all sin and true Christians are trying not to and want that everyone know Jesus' love and saving power.[/quote]

I have to be honest though....i'm never trying to NOT sin by avoiding shrimp. I love shrimp! And I eat it on the regular and still consider myself a Christian. And it never ever occurred to me to "ask forgiveness" for this "sin"...probably b/c it literally never comes up in conversation EVEN IF I'M EATING SHRIMP IN FRONT OF or WITH other Christians. This is literally an issue for NO ONE that I know in mainstream Christian denominations.

But this simply isn't true of gay marriage or gay relationships in most Christian circles. It is definitely considered (or at least was for most mainstream Christian denominations up until about 10 years ago) to be a sinful behavior that cannot be simply "overlooked" without repentance...as my wanton shellfish-eating habit is completely overlooked.

So I agree with OP...if we consider homosexuality as "sin" because it is deemed to be so in the Bible...then why am I not sinning when I eat shrimp. And if I *AM*...then why don't other Christians condemn my practice of shrimp eating and refuse to eat with me so as not to "condone" my sinning?
