Are we judging the homos because they sin differently from us? Most all Christians agree that we all fall short of the Glory of God. We are all sinners and we must accept that Jesus is the only way to gain entrance into heaven.
So, if we are all sinners and we all fall short of the Glory of God and we all need Jesus to get into heaven, why is that the homos are left out?
Well, since most Christians accept that we are all sinners, most Christians also believe that sinners must repent of their sins and try to become a better version of theirselves each day. Repenting of our sins seems to me what we need to focus on.
Of course, to be repentant of homosexuality, the homosexual must first admit that homosexuality is in fact a sin. Since the Bible list homosexuality as a sin (1 Timothy 1, 10, and 1 Corinthians, 6, 9), we will assume it is a sin in this post.
If we have a person that sins by having sex outside of marriage, that person is in a state of sin and should that person die, they couldn't get into heaven since they were in a sinful state. So how does this person repent of their sins? Whether you see a priest or join a support group, to be truly repentant, that person must stop the behavior that is creating the sin.
In the case of homosexuals, they can consider themself homosexual but they must stop committing the sin to get into heaven. The only way to do this is to be celebate. If a homosexual is celebate, they are not committing any sin, they are repentant, and will have the same chance as anyone else in getting into heaven. At least, this is what Christians believe.
So let's take religion out of the discussion. Let's look at this from a polar opposite view. Hell, lets just drag Darwin into the discussion.
Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection
- More individuals are produced each generation that can survive.
- Phenotypic variation exists among individuals and the variation is heritable.
- Those individuals with heritable traits better suited to the environment will survive.
- When reproductive isolation occurs new species
will form.
