Thank you for your polite response. I'd like to discuss the topic a bit further if you don't mind. I want to try to make my beliefs clear and separate my thinking from the societal phobias and divisiveness of today's world. Such phobias are not Biblical, either. Still, I'm not sure where the fractionalization began in the Bible, but I'm thinking probably Genesis where people starting going their own ways, that is, away from God. As for Christianity. in particular, this same process happened very early on, and ironically, soon after Rome legalized the Jesus Sect, as it was then called. The schisms between the what the Bible says and what people claim has been widening ever since. Human nature. Human choice.

Notice that the Bible reference is used lists all "works of the flesh," or as I would say "all behaviors precipitating from human nature."

It's common for many to argue that we cannot be condemned by the same God who made us this way - as if we were helpless infants. No We, as Mankind, were not "made this way." We have the free will to choose how we respond to our human nature.

Last thing... Personally, I couldn't give a flying cow chip what people choose to do, what path they are on. However, I know from my own life and choices I've made, sexual or other, certain behaviors separate us from God,...in knowing Him, in understanding Him, and in receiving all the benefits of a relationship with Him - the greatest of which is eternal life with Him.
