Interesting conclusion. Could you elucidate how you've come to that conclusion? I mean, outside of the belief that all human beings are sinners, and since those who identify as homosexual are human, they are sinners?
But, of course, if that's the argument, there's no real need to qualify the sinner-humans as "homosexual," since they'd be sinners regardless of their professed sexual preferences. You could have just said, "all human beings are sinners."
Apparently, that's not the message you intend to convey. I *think* you intend to convey that those who identify as homosexual are sinners by virtue of something other than the fact that they are human. Could you outline what that cause is? And can you point conclusively to the source of that belief, providing adequate support for why that source is irrefutably correct to the extent that you're willing to condemn fellow human beings because of said evidence?
Perhaps I could have simply said that all human beings are sinners, but simply acknowledging that one is a sinner in such a general sense does a great injustice to God's plan of redemption and salvation. Acknowledging that every person is a sinner does have it's place however. If we do recognize that we ourselves are sinners, along with everyone else, at least we might find motive for compassion and mercy toward others and their sins, knowing that we are all struggling with some particular sin of our own. But if you leave it at the fact that we're all sinners, and neglect to acknowledge your own particular sin, you deprive yourself of the act of repentance from that sin which is necessary for salvation. You also might deprive yourself of knowing the Savior, in whom lies each person's only hope of salvation. If homosexuality is your sin, it is the sin of homosexuality from which you need to repent. It is the sin of homosexuality that separates you from God, and from communion with God.
I personally am not in need of repentance from the sin of homosexuality. But I have my own sins, from which I need God's forgiveness. And this necessary forgiveness only comes to those who trust in God, Our Messiah through the work He has performed through His Son on the Cross.
Let me bring your attention to John 3:18-21
"He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."
But instead of admitting that homosexuality is sin, as the Word of God proclaims, homosexuals tickle their ears with the notion that they were born to be homosexual, that it must have been God's will, which it is not necessarily the case. Instead, they deny the truth of God, and replace it with a lie, bringing condemnation upon their own heads.
If it be true that God causes men to be homosexual, then that should frighten all of us. For if God preordains a man to be homosexual, then it is as if God creates this for the purpose of inevitable destruction, which is not an absurd idea.
"Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?" (Romans 9:19-24)
Are we vessels fitted to destruction, or are we vessels fitted to make known the riches of God's glory?
