Thoughts on gays and sin

[Drich]

There is one slight problem with your prescription. Paul in romans 5, 6, 7 kinda answers your prescription directly, and even boils your senerio down to a pretty neat block of text in chapter 6:

So do you think we should continue sinning so that God will give us more and more grace? 2 Of course not! Our old sinful life ended. It’s dead. So how can we continue living in sin? 3 Did you forget that all of us became part of Christ Jesus when we were baptized? In our baptism we shared in his death. 4 So when we were baptized, we were buried with Christ and took part in his death. And just as Christ was raised from death by the wonderful power of the Father, so we can now live a new life.

It's a pity that so many Christians never bother with the part about ending their old, sinful life ... you included.

You didn't actually read what I posted did you? Chapers 5-7?

There's a misunderstanding, Drich. No one wants to lead a sinful life and, say, become an investment banker or similar horrors, we're merely talking about a bit of harmless sodomy, and if we're feeling courageous, maybe mixing two kinds of thread every once in a while and eat shellfish (though I'll rather skip that)...

Again see chapters 5-7 Paul speaks to this very situation.
