ya know, just because he abhors one sin greater than another sin does not mean he is willing to tolerate either sin. think about it. if your own kid sneaks out the window and heads off to the nearest party in the middle of the night, are you going to tolerate it any more than if he sneaks out and brutally rapes some innocent six year old kid? nope, but i bet you're going to find the latter to be more vile on a personal level.

God tolerates no sin. but he created man and woman in His own image, and their intimacy, the two of them joining in unison to become ONE, is a physical reflection of the triune nature of God.... it is more than a physical connection between a husband and wife. so of course God is going to be far more repulsed by the act of two men joining together as one flesh, because it totally perverts what He created sexuality for in the first place.

But why pay a particular attention to a sin and modify its standing to a abomination? Is there a lessor sin? We know that there isn't. We know that God view all sins as equal. Therefore, only man can add that adjective. Which to me means that only man had the problem with homosexuality. Not god.

All sin is an abomination! Heavens! He is HOLY!

However, as God chooses to have relationship with Israel and the church as a marriage relationship, He does NOT suffer sexual sins well! I don't blame Him one bit!

God views sin as equal. You pick your nose wrong, you are going to hell. It doesn't matter what sin you have, yer out of here. Man choose homosexual as an abomination. It is an emotion fingerprint only from man. Therefore, I can argue that Man, not god, attached sin to homosexuality.

Who knows? Maybe they put that word with homosexuality simply because the author thought it was absolutely disgusting. Thats probably what I would have said, "for homosexuality is absolutely disgusting...". Now, as Christians we accept the fact that God inspired these men to write His Word. I don't believe God gave them a fax that said exactly what they should write. Instead, I believe God gave them the idea. We must trust that God directed them accordingly. If we don't, then all faith is lost. So, God told the author that homosexuality was a sin. The author wrote that very thing, but used the word abomination simply because in his eyes, it was.

Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

Mark 3:28-29

What Ever Could This Mean?

And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

Luke 12:10

Do You Think This Sin Has Anything To Do With That Sick Sillyness On YouTube Or Do You Thing It Is Something Much Much More Scary?

Does This Have Any Bearing On Sins Like Lust And Proud Looks And Lying And Hateful Thoughs?

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:16

And in your case, no matter how stupid you lived your life against god

Who Told! Who Told!

Ain't God Grand!

Hallelujah!

If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

1 Peter 4:14

Perchance you have not blaspheme against the Holy Ghost and crucified in your heart The Lord Jesus afreash.....

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Hebrews 6:4-6

Justaguy, ask God to empower you to dump for one minute your hated of Christ and of His kids and of His Bible and try to pass these words through your lips and heart....

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Roman 10:9-10

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:

The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

Numbers 6:24-26

Argue it all you want, God said it, not man. An abomination has to do with idolatry and the practices of idol worshippers.

It was something set up by demons to celebrate the worship of false gods. A sort of "slap in the face" to God. God created man for the purpose of fellowship with Him. When we fellowship with Him we worship Him. He and only He deserves this worship.

Bitter fallen angels, demons, hate God so much they will do whatever it takes to pervert God's natural system of things.

Homosexuality just happens to be an exclusive they used for the purpose of causing man to look as stupid as possible while in a state of worship to a god other than the real God. God found this detestible and called it an abomination.Leviticus 20:13 And rightly so.

All sin is not the same.

Some stem from vanity, others, for the singular purpose of rebelling against God.

Any and all sin will keep you out of Heaven. Even the smallest entertainment of a sinful thought.

In that way only, they are the same.

i think what i said answers your question pretty thoroughly already.

I don't agree with that, sorry. He's not actively committing something he can't control. That's like saying we're actively committing to be hetrosexuals. If it's such a "choice", then everyone - both gay and straight - had to choose. That's what choice is all about. Hetrosexuals never choose not be be gay, but homosexuals did? That defies logic.

he CAN control his actions.

just as heterosexuals can control our sinful behaviours. we are born with a sex drive. we can't control that we were born with it, but we can decide whether our instinct controls our behaviour or whether we do. for the record, there are far more sinful activities that the Bible associates with heterosexual behaviour than homosexual behaviour.

he can control whether or not he has sex with another man, just as we can control whether or not we have sex before marriage, or outside our marriage (adultry), or whether we view pornography, or whether we have sex with a child, or whether we have sex with someone in the forbidden list of relatives, or with an animal, or whatever.

if he is refusing to turn from an activity that God defines as sinful, because he doesn't believe he has a choice in the matter, or because he doesn't believe it is truly a sin, then he is NOT submitting to God. this is NOT the same thing as struggling with temptation. we all struggle with sexual temptation. if someone is justifying their behaviour and refusing to acknowledge that it is sin, then they aren't struggling at all... they are simply living life according to their own fleshly desires.
