I know I am not the Judge and that God is. Read the bible and read that this is an abomination to God. He did NOT create us for this. We are to be "fruitful and multiply." God bless you for your opinion of me. Have a blessed day.
I'm deeply religious and expect I know more about the Bible than you do. I'm also celibate because acting on my sexuality is not compatible with my relationship with Christ. But homosexual fornication is neither more nor less serious of a sin than heterosexual fornication, and I defy you to show me the scripture that says otherwise.
I'm struggling to identify where any of those passages define homosexuality as being distinctly more sinful than heterosexual fornication. In fact, fornication is expressly listed alongside in or near each of those passages.
Well, here's where I believe a distinction is made.
Take Timothy 1:10 for example. It mentions both sexual immorality and homosexuality in the same sentence.
Homosexuality is certainly sexually immoral but it is listed separately. Why?
I believe because it is of a different, more serious nature of sexual sin.
For instance, in the same passage, liars and perjurers are both mentioned. Why? Perjury is just lying right?
Well no, perjury is lying under oath and it is seen (rightly so) as a worse offense.
So too is homosexuality a worse offense in the eyes of God.
Just my opinion of course but I believe that this understanding is the correct one.

Here's a couple to get you started:
1st Corinthians 6:9-11 Romans 1:26-27 Timothy 1:10

God does not have double standards.

I forgive you. lAmen.
Well thank you for that passive-aggressive response, but I don't require your forgiveness. I already have it from Jesus.
And I suppose you are just like Resident Biden; your IQ is much larger than mine too. Have a blessed day.
