According to the Bible, all people sin, even righteous people. Ecclesiastes 7:20 says "There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins.."
So, even if one is righteous, as a human we sin sometimes.
What is the cutoff on sinning? How much is too much before one is no longer a "true" Christian?
Even Jesus doesn't judge those who commit sins - he SAVES them. John 12:47 states "As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it."
It is not for us to judge other's worth in salvation. Luke 6:37
states "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."
So, if someone commits the sin of sodomy, of whatever kind (hetero or homo -- remember, unnatural acts between same sex couples are also sins.... and that's true of even husbands and wives! Think of that, next time you try manual, oral or an@l with your wife or girlfriend...) - your job is not judge them or condemn them. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Am I wrong?
