Homosexuals

Wait, lets go to Matthew 18, which says nothing about homosexuality:

18:1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them 3 and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, 6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea."

The original context of the passage was on who Jesus considered great, not what sin he considered the worst, not anything about homosexuals.

Just my 2 cents.

I agree with you Nella. This was a verse/context about humility/greatness.

I believe God sees all sins as bad and does not place any one as worse than the other. However, some sins we commit HURT people and ourselves more than others. A lie is just as much a sin as a murder. However, a murder brings worse consequences the majority of time! The important thing to remember is that Jesus paid for all our sins, great or small, on Calvary.

Oooh! I like your new icon, Geb!

Anyways, I'm to lazy to look back and see and my internet is to fickle to let me go back to the beginning of this discussion even if I wanted to. So, has Romans 1 been brought into the discussion? Even if it has, it is important to consider the context of the entire chapter. Read it when you get a chance. If anyone still thinks homosexuality is right after reading that chapter, well, they are just messed up. Actually, Romans is a good book on sin period.
