Being a homosexual is a sin if you profess to be a Christian. Beanieboys only sin is not accepting Christ. That is the only one that is to be worried about.eccl3_6 said:#1 Whats wrong with being a homo?
He is not a hypocrit from what I've seen. He does not claim to be a Christian, so how can we blame him for doing things that are not Christian?eccl3_6 said:#2 So if you know him tobe a hyprocrite...why get so agitated by what he says?
Some Christians get a little flustered when a person who isn't a Christian corrects them with a Bible verse. I myself have had that happen to me. But then I'd realize that if the unbeliever has a good point, and I am truly going against Gods word, then I need to correct myself.eccl3_6 said:#3 Are you placing conditions on when someone can use the bible?
Yes, we should always have a loving and compassionate attitude for the lost. Sometimes we need to say things that are harsh(such as "you are going to Hell if you do not accept Christ"). But we always need to have the right motives and a loving and compassionate heart. We should not say those things out of spite.eccl3_6 said:#4 So why not show understanding and compassion for the faith of others?

Nineveh said:True, but which is more loving? Rebuking bean or Rimi for rebuking bean?

intro2faith said:It is loving to tell beanieboy that he is going to Hell if he does not repent. IF you have a loving attitude about it.
In the case of me rebuking Rimi for wrongly rebuking Beanieboy, I meant it entirely out of love.

Nineveh said:Well, maybe that makes it easier for intro to rebuke bean, since maybe intro doesn't know how to tell bean sodomy is a sin when he doesn't believe it is. I'm sort of at a loss of why bean would even want or feel a need to repent since he is sinless.
intro2faith said:No, he is not sinless.
I just think there are bigger sins(not accepting Christ) to worry about than things like homosexuality.
Nineveh said:Ok, ask bean if he thinks sodomy is a sin.
I rather think not accepting Christ leaves us in our sin.
If bean doesn't believe he is sinning, why does he need saved?
intro2faith said:I've already told you that homosexuality is a sin.
If beanieboy does not believe that, how is us telling him over and over again going to change anything? It won't. Except to turn him off of Christianity even more.
Tell me, why are unbelievers who are NOT homosexuals, but ARE liars not ganged up on like beanieboy is?
Lying is a sin, is it not?
Then why do we focus so much on this ONE sin of homosexuality?
beanieboy said:Nin- Can I be saved if I become heterosexual?
Is that all it takes?
Or am I saved if I accept Jesus in my heart?
Which is it?
