Cynical thing is that the christian movement won't allow them to get married. That would of course, take away their last sin :)

Sex before marriage is fornication and is not mentioned in the 10 commandments... adultery is, and that is sex with someone other than your spouse after marriage.
musingaloud... The Bible also speaks against remarriage after divorce. Why don't people have their panties in a bunch over that one? How about the commandment to not lie, to not steal, to honor thy father and mother? Are you telling me that you have upheld all of these perfectly?
If not, and I know you haven't... then are you not also serving other gods since God has spoken out against YOUR sins?

first of all that one is not a commandment in the ten commandments, and second, they aren't breaking a ten commandment at all, they're breaking one of God's other laws in the Bible that says marriage should be between a man and woman only and no not a man and man, not a woman and woman, not a man and man that is now a woman, not a woman and woman that is now a man, NOTHING like that. ONLY man and woman, husband and wife. that's one of God's commands they are breaking but none of the ten commandments

Doesn't matter. We are no longer under the Law, we are under Grace (the law of Christ). They are breaking the law of Christ because homosexual sin can never be loving; it is very harmful. Plus in Romans & 1 Corinthians it specifically mentions that homosexual acts is a sin (as are many other things).
You are right, no one is perfect. However, those who have received Jesus as their Lord & Savior are putting to death the deeds of sinful flesh. They are working at honoring God with their body.
Someone who says, "I am a Christian" and does nothing to honor and obey God is not a Christian/ saved person at all (read James & 1 John).
Hope this helps. We are ALL in process.

Leviticus
“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” (18:22)
“If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them.” (20:13)
These verses are part of the Holiness Code in the Old Testament book of Leviticus (chapters 17-26) that attempted to spell out ways the people of Israelwould act differently than their Mediterranean neighbors. In light of the previously mentioned sexual practices of Israel’s neighbors, it becomes clear that this prohibition in Leviticus was an attempt to preserve the internal harmony of Jewish male society by not allowing them to participate in anal intercourse as a form of expressing or gaining social and political dominance. These verses in no way prohibit, nor do they even speak, to loving, caring sexual relationships between people of the same gender.

That's exactly what the 10 commandments are for...
To level the playing field... NONE is right, but GOD...
The 10 commandments indict us on our relationship to God, our relationship to others, and the wickedness of our own hearts...
We are ALL guilty... The good news... Jesus made atonement and gives us a FREE ride... but, YOU get FREE CHOICE... you want to reject the gift, your loss.... you want to recieve the gift, your gain.... i
If NONE of this is true, it doesn't really matter then does it???
If it IS true, then I would at least spend as much time looking into the matter and investigating it as I would watching American Idol....

God lists a whole host of things we do that are considered sins. Seven of which He thinks are an abomination. One happens to be homosexuality. Read the Bible. All the answers are there.
No one is perfect nor can they ever be perfect, that's why we need Jesus.

actually thats not one of the 10 commandments.
Nothing in the 10 commandments specifically bans being a homosexual, but it is explicit in the text, and implied in other parts.
The story of sodom and gemorrah comes up a lot in these sorts of discussions.
As for adultry, the king of israel himself was known to have literally hundreds of wives. Apparently, they didnt take the bible too seriously then either. Everything with a grain of salt.

There are more than 10 commandments in the Bible.

well one thing they are still Children of God and always will be so they need to be treated the same way you treat everybody. Gays are breaking the Natural Law because they do not allow the possibility of life. So the only thing that it is wrong with it is that it is morally wrong

The same ones everone else is breaking. The bible just says that God gives them over to a reprobate mind. In other words, they are determined to live contrary to God's model for marriage, this attitude is simply rebellion which seperates them from God.
