When Forgiven:
There is one that says if your sins are Red they will be White as the white snow, and if your sins are black they will be white and the white wool,

I'll find the exact verse, and others and post them when I do.

Addressing the issue of someone being "Bi" or homosexual is addressed in a number of different places in the Old Testament and New, both. Leviticus, in the Old, talks about it quite clearly that it is an abomination unto the Lord. Saint Paul writes a bit on it in his New Testament Letters.

It could however simply fall under the umbrella of "Fornication" which would find all of us guilty, homosexual, bi, or straight. It is simply "unlawful sexual intercourse of an unwed person." See 1Corinthians 6:9-18. In the Old Testament book of Ezekial it is used to demonstrate, or figure, disloyalty to God, and in the end, when we live this kind of life it is done in disobedience to God, just the same as when Eve took the forbidden fruit in direct defiance to what God had instructed. Ultimately it ends up becoming an issue of the first ever sin commited, Pride. We decide to live as we wish, not how God wants us too. Remember, He did give us free will. We can choose what we want, however, there are consequences to our choices and actions. God wills no one lost... He sends no one to Hell.. if we go, we chose to separate ourselves from God.

ALL SIN EQUAL? NO, they are not. Go the the back of your Christian Holy Bible just before the Book of Revelation to 1John chapter 5 starting at verse 16. The Contemporary English Version reads as follows: Suppose you see one of our people commit a sin that isn't a deadly sin. You can pray, and that person will be given eternal life. But the sin must not be one that is deadly. Everything that is wrong is sin, but not all sins are deadly.

There are many versions of the Bible that read slightly different, but what John is telling us is there is sin that damages our relationship with God and there are more serious sins that outright Kill our soul and relationship to God. The Catholic Church teaches Venial Sin and Mortal Sin based on the Biblical teaching of John. All sin can be forgiven but confession of it must be accompanied with contrition... you must be truly repentant and not return to the sin. A confession without a contrite heart and with intention to continue living in that sin, does not count.

All sin seperates us from god because he's holy. We also recognize from Romans that "the wages of sin is lack of life". because of this we favor jesus' ransom sacrifice for salvation because all of us sin. on the different hand, once you look on the Mosaic regulation there have been diverse ranges of punishment reckoning on the sin committed. as an instance, the son chanced on to be a drunkard and a glutton replaced into to be positioned to lack of life. the three staple products the apostle warned the congregation replaced into to abstain from blood, idolatry and fornication. those are extreme and may ruin a persons status with god if unrepentant. What makes a sin worst isn't neccesarily the seriousness even if the degree of wilfulness and no matter if the fellow somewhat regrets and needs as an instance geniuine repentance. you observe the version once you analyze the sin of the first people, who were proper, and those we devote because of imperfection, commonly. therefore the sin which couldn't equivalent beforehand god is the only it really is unforgiveable, "the sin that incurs lack of life" because the scripture says. yet another mentions the position each kind of blasphemy antagonistic to the son may be forgiven, yet not antagonistic to the holy spirit. it really is even as one works deliberately antagonistic to god's spirit, frequently apostasy, that someone should not be forgiven, not wanting any forgiveness from god.

Not all sins are equal. Sinning against God's spirit is unforgiveable; Matthew 12:32 _"And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."
Hebrews 10:26: " For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins."
So the practice of what God condemns is unforgiveable, especially if we know that it is wrong. If we stop practicing what is sinful and turn to doing what is right, then God will forgive us, for he is merciful and just.

Here's a scripture that doesn't show favoritism between sins...

James 2:8-11
If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself,"you are doing right. But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.

Sins being equal:
James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all.

bi/homosexuality:
Romans 1:22-32

Sins can be forgiven:
1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Just tell Him that Jesus is God and that He laid down His majesty on high just to come to this earth to make the ultimate sacrifice for sins to redeem us all to God.

There is no sin too great that it could not be covered by so great a sacrifice!
