This is also true for those who are "attracted" to members of
the same sex. They must resist the temptation. There would be
no issue if this were true. It is not the person who offends
decent people, it is the acts involved. Those engaging in such
behavior should be aware of the fact they are willfully being
disobedient to the revealed wrd of God and are being a stench
in the nostrals of God and decent people.
Now that I *really* take offence at. I'm a decent [heterosexual]
person and (like millions of others) I don't regard homosexuality
as anything wrong at all. Don't presume to speak for decent
people - You don't.
He certainly does, people who disregard immoral, homosexual perversion as
not being "anything wrong at all" have become morally corrupted, and
'indecent people' in the eyes of Almighty God.
26God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural
relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned
natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another.
Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the
due penalty for their perversion." Romans 1:26-27 (NIV)
Are you catching the drift 'Icarus'?
The 'drift' which I 'catch' is that you just quoted a text out of context,
and on top of that doesn't say anything about homosexuals who weren't
formally hetrosexuals, note they *exchanged* and *abandoned* something for
another.
As for the context, see verses 21-25 before God turned them over to
homosexuality they commented idolatry, so these verses do not apply to
homosexuals first never committed idolatry, and who were never hetrosexuals
!

I think he has outgrown you by leaps and bounds 'Icarus'
"16 Take heed unto thyself, and the doctrines; continue in them: for in
doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee."

"15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have
been taught, whether by word, or our epistle "2 Thess 2:15 (KJV)
" Be ye followers of me, [Paul] even as I also am of Christ.
Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep
the
ordinances, as I delivered them to you."
1 Cor 11:1-2 (KJV)
Exactly be followers of Christ, not Moses, who Jesus pointed to as having
goofed up with the topic of divorce (want the text ?), so who knows what
else Moses gumed up on (?)
