But will they need to bother if they dont commit sodemy?

Originally posted by RBHILLBut what if they dont. Is being gay itself a sin if u dont commit sodemy.
The lustful thoughs.
But they still have other sin in their lives.
Examples, lying, cheating, rejecting Christ is a sin.
Plus what if a child was created by science(the winner remember) therefore was not "born" and never commited a sin. He has no need to repent.
Originally posted by RBHILLCan I take it from this that you think that gay men have more lustful thoughts than hetero ones? And that gay men are more likely to lie & cheat than hetero men? From comments like these one could be lead to believe that your view of homosexuals is that they are all snarling sex maniacs, inherantly evil with substandard or no morals. Are you this blinded in your views?

Even your last point - how about gays who accept Christ? In fact, this is one of the main reason I know why gay men would abstain from gay relationships, esp. sodomy. Then surely their only sin would be being gay, something that even as the debate still rages between homosexuality being inherant or learnt it is pretty widely accepted that it's not a chosen behaviour. So they are damned for something they have no control over, despite doing everything in their power that they can (ie. abstaining from gay relationships). Sounds like a pretty raw deal from a fair & loving god to me.
Originally posted by RBHILLI thought you could sin all you want once you're a Born-Again Believer and God forgives all your sins? So, gay Born Agains could sodomize 3 year olds (as could non-gay Born Agains) and it wouldn't matter one bit: they'd still be right up there with the super-righteous like RBHILL.
Don't you understand that it is not by works or being Good that gets you to heaven.
If the gays repent of their sins and turn from their wicked ways they will go to heaven.
Originally posted by belgianfreakLet's remember that god creates gay penguins (http://www.jrn.columbia.edu/studentwork/cns/2002-06-10/591.asp), obviously gay people are just the next step. Not their fault they're gay - it's gods fault. Since god made them that way, then, well, i don't suppose he has any right to complain about it.

I think you're safe, Brother!

If a homosexual male lies and cheats, then he should repent of lying and cheating, just as a heterosexual male who lies and cheats should repent.
On these boards you have repeated insulted and degraded those who do not think as you do. When a member (xian or not) rebukes you for being an embarrassment to the cross, you quip that you are "not perfect, just redeemed." You have even admitted that you premeditate to sin and run behind the skirt-tails of Christ's forgiveness later.
The ironic thing is that if your "willfully sin with impunity" doctrine is true, then the following scenario is just as valid. A homosexual male could repent of his sins and ask Jesus into his heart, thus he is saved by faith. Then he could premeditatedly go out and have wild anal sex with 17 young strapping studs. He then could immediately appeal to the Blood of Christ for the cleansing of his sin. If some one saw him later and rebuked him for engaging in sodomy, he could just say, "I'm not perfect, just redeemed."
