It's man's rich perversity. We should not stand for who we are, because we are inherently sinful beings, but stand for who Christ is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not orientation. It is abominable behavior. She is not fit to do or say anything representing Christ or His church. She must repent or she will perish eternally.

He made them male and female. He made them red, brown, yellow, black, and white. He made them with a variety of eye and hair color as well. That is diversity. Sexual immorality is sin. God is very narrow when it comes to morality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace God says its a sin. Romans 1 26 For this cause, God gave them up to dishonorable affections. For even their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature. 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another; males with males working out shamefulness, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was fitting for their error. 28 And even as they did not think fit to have God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do the things not right, Among many other verses.

Annotations from the Oxford Bible on Romans 1:26-27 "Degrading passions, while Torah forbids a male "lying with a male as with a woman" paul's Jewish contemporaries criticized a range of sexual behaviors common in the pagan world. Although widely read today as a reference to homosexuality, the language of "unnatural intercourse" was more often used in Paul's day to denote not the orientation of sexual desire, but its immoderate indulgence, which was believed to weaken the body (the due penalty).
