Are gay people worse sinners than you and I?

Discuss in detail your views on homosexuality/lesbianism in light of Romans 1.26-28. Futher, do you think homosexuality/lesbianism is a sin?

These verses like others used by the “conservative extremists” are taken out of context and misapplied to those that practice the SIN of homosexuality/lesbianism. YES this type of sexuality is ABSOLUTLEY A SIN. It should be noted that ANY sexual act outside the God ordained bonds of marriage is SIN. But specific to this sin, too many people take this verse to address only homosexuals. However, look at the greater context. It is addressing those that have rejected God by any and all means He has made Himself known to them. Those that have bought into or made up lies about the world GOD created. The acceptance or practice of homosexuality is part of the progression or digression, depending on how you look at it, of sin away from God, all while knowing what God states and choosing to rebel.

This verse is not saying that homosexuals have no hope. There are those that say that once a person starts to practice or experiment with this particular sin, they are hopeless, they have finally crossed the line and cannot be saved. They claim that this is the “sin unto death” or “unpardonable sin”. It is rather easy to see this interpretation upon first reading of these verses. This is simply not truth of God’s Word. There is only ONE unforgiveable sin stated clearly in the Scriptures from God. If one rejects or refuses to place their faith and trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, they will be punished and banished to an eternal torment ultimately in the lake of fire.

For one to claim this interpretation, they must posit that Christ’s death was not all inclusive of every kind of sin, that there is a sin that Christ’s blood did not or can not cover. If that is the case, then they must also posit that God is a limited God and that sin is more powerful than God is. There are obvious problems with this.

When the Bible says that God gave them up, or gave them over to sin, one could liken that to a cold or a virus. It must run its course. While God certainly has the power and ability to simply put a stop to the problem, He has chosen to allow it to continue to its ending. Once someone has entered the sin of homosexuality, there are many other sins in their life, including the rejection of Christ and of God. They have given into the very convincing lies of the Satan about life and about how this world and people work. They have gone very far with their sinful life and lifestyle. However, while they seem they are beyond hope of turning back, they are not. Until they die, each and every human being still has the ability to choose. People have an innate sense of God within them, that is seemingly unfillable “void” in their lives. Satan has convinced many that any given sin will fill that void. Obviously nothing but Christ can do that.

Christ is all powerful and can save even the most wretched of sinners, from the likes of Adolf Hitler to a child abuser, any human being can be saved. The verses preceding and following these particular ones citing homosexuality give the pretense of prior rejection or denial of God and going so far as to set oneself up as a god.
