Homosexuality is a sin . So are the other things mentioned. We all wrestle with over coming our sinful nature. We all need forgiveness. We all need to seek the lord. I've been wrestling with the idea of this issue and I'm not certain we should turn them away. I think Jesus would offer them the same forgiveness as any of us have been forgiven of our different sins. In either case he would tell us to go and sin no more. I think we should still encourage them to be saved and to turn from it.

​@@choopdap No, the verses speak on homosexuality, including its actions. There is no "replacement" for any words. The original wording of the verse was in Greek, and so was with the New Testament.

It moreover denies the necessity of divine revelation and obligation of every one to accept that revelation under pain of eternal perdition. It denies the formal motive for faith, viz., the authority of God revealing, and admits only as much of revealed doctrine as it chooses or comprehends within its own narrow capacity. It denies the infallible magistracy of the Church and of the Pope, and consequently all the doctrines defined and taught by this divine authority. In short it sets itself up as the measure and rule of faith, and so really shuts out revelation altogether. It denies everything which it itself does not proclaim. It negates everything which it itself does not 24) affirm. But not being able to affirm any truth beyond its own reach, it denies the possibility of any truth which it does not comprehend. The revelation of truth above human reason it, therefore, debars at the outset. The divinity of Jesus Christ is beyond its horoscope. The Church is outside its comprehension. The submission of human reason to the Word of Christ or its divinely constituted exponent is to it intolerable. It is, therefore, the radical and universal denial of all divine truth and Christian dogma, the primal type of all heresy, and the supreme rebellion against the authority of God and His Church.

@@KeilyShhh , THE MESSIAH IS RETURNING AND then JUDGEMENT takes place. "Christ's righteousness" is symbolised by the bridal gown. Rejecting the garment, then, means rejecting the qualities that qualify men to be God's children. People have no suitable clothing; "all of our nice actions are filthy rags" (Isaiah 64:6). Remember the man without a wedding garment, he represents people claiming to be Christians who do not believe in character conversion BUT would rather continue to sin. For example, when the KING entered to greet the guests, He noticed a guy who was not dressed in a wedding garment. 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' he asked (Matthew 22:12). The King was willing to pardon the man if he could provide a reason for his failure. The man, on the other hand, was "speechless," signalling that he was not guilty. He declined the suit that had been supplied to him on purpose (Matthew 22:12). In other words, the man was content to stay in his sinful prideful ways not realising at any moment he was going to be thrown into the outer darkness for eternity. Unfortunately, people do not realise that God the Father, Jehovah Yahweh is HOLY and we MUST have reverence for HIM. 'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy is understanding' (Proverbs 9:10). You need to REPENT.

Whether you like it or not, Christianity is slowly moving away from the destructive error that "homoxesuality is sin". You would be better off understanding why it's an error and coming to grips with the harm it's done than rattling off proof texts that don't even say what people claim they do. FYI of course you can get "past" it because the law of Moses no longer applies. But even ignoring that, you very well know that it doesn't say "don't lie with the same secs". It doesn't even say "men don't lie with men". Read it carefully. It was a patriarchal taboo against a male being used like a woman. But to insist on following it today is to insist that women are inferior to men, a reprehensible thought in the gospel age.

When he saw him, he was moved with compassion, came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the host, and said to him, 'Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.' Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?" He said, "He who showed mercy on him."

“Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. Now the overseer is to be above reproach, (faithful to his wife), temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?) He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭3:1-7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

[@MusicalRaichu]

None of those texts say anything of the sort. The category of "homosecsual" didn't even exist when the Bible was written. Every one of those verses is about something that's wrong for some other reason, not because it involves people of the same secs. A couple of centuries ago, people were quoting the same verses to argue that non-reproductive acts were wrong, but no one does that now. FYI Leviticus does NOT say "don't lie with someone of the same secs". It says "don't lie with a male as you bed a woman". The ancient Israelites had a taboo against a male taking a woman's role in bed. Rom 1 says that ancient Roman idolatrous males did shameful things with males, not that males in bed with males is shameful. Read it carefully. The description is not even superficially similar to loving relationships based on secsual orientation. 1 Cor 6/1 Tim 1 say that male-bedders were deliberately doing something so hurtful that it was incompatible with life in God's kingdom. It was because male-bedders was mistranslated as homoxesuals that led to the disaster we have today where people are condemned for a harmless naturally occurring variation over which they have no control.
