[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My church teaches that homosexuality is not a sin but homosexual acts are. So I would explain that gently and lovingly to my child. She wants to be a nun so it's not like she'd be giving up anything she's not already planning to give up. [/quote]

That's pretty crazy. What church teaches that BS?[/quote]

All of them.

That’s what every church that has an issue with homosexuality teaches.  [/quote]

What? I thought churches taught that you could commit adultery by lusting in your MIND. So just thinking of adultery was a sin.....and thinking about homosexual sex is not a sin?  What a bunch of BS.[/quote]

How does this make no sense to you?  Wanting to do something and actually doing it are not the same thing.

a). Not lusting after your neighbor’s wife and not committing adultery are two separate commandments.  They aren’t the same thing.

b) I don’t think we are talking about married people here.
It’s not a sin to want to be with someone when you are both single.

If you are single isn’t it a sin anyway? The thought of being with someone (lust) or actually being with someone (fornication)?[/quote]

No.  Treating someone entirely as an object and not a human being is a sin.

Look, in the end, that’s not really the point.  The point is not thinking about sex vs having sex.  The point is that if you have sinned, and you are sorry for it, it’s forgiven.  
The question is whether or not to be sorry for it.

No one says that you are going to be separated from Good if you are homosexual or have homosexual thoughts.  What they say is that if you are engaging in those actions, you know they are taking you further from your relationship with God, and you decide not to turn around, then you are effectively choosing not to be with God.
