preaching against homosexuality is frowned on so much more than preaching against any other sin these days? Do people think that God changes His rules for us just because some people consider them to be politically correct?
Also, the Bible says that we were ALL born sinners, but that God can save us from our sins if we surrender our lives to Him, so why do homosexuals think they're justified in using their "I was born this way" excuses as the reason to continue living in blatant disobedience of God's law?

gorgeoustxwoman- I care because I know what the consequence of their lifestyle of choice will be if they don't turn from it.

Don't we all look for excuses to say that our sin is okay? Look at the modern "spirituality" movement. Christians are quick to say that they are spiritual not Christians because it excuses their actions.
You're right we are all born sinners. The Bible says Jacob was born a heal grasper. He was born a thief. But the great news is that we can overcome that! We all have one (or more) things that we struggle with but it doesn't excuse it...we will probably fight with it all our lives. Yes, we were born that way but that doesn't give us a right to accept it.
I think the reason why preaching against homosexuality is so frowned upon is because most Christians don't struggle with this so they decided to target it. And anything Christians target will be frowned upon. It's an easy target because it's so public. But we can't "target" anything. God called us to love and that's it. Notice Jesus did more loving than cursing.

What difference does another's sin make to you? Look to your own sins and mistakes first and leave others to God. Do you have so little faith in God to think that He would not be able to save his entire creation? Seriously, quit putting limits on God and begin to truly look into your own personal relationship with Christ and God and let others develop their own.

People chose the parts of the bible that suits them & ignore the parts that don't. Genesis instructs 'to respect the others'. The Old Testament instructs 'don't eat pig' & to pull down your house & throw away the bricks if it gets mould twice.... no mention of using Windex.

I've said it time and again and for you I shall repeat it. You were told these things would happen. This is one of the things that happened durin Noah's time, were you not told it would be like those days durin the end? Why then are you surprised? You were told by the Lord himself it would be such, have you so little faith? The very signs are upon you, do you not see them? Look around you! Make yourself ready and study the events of these times that you will know what is next.

You were forced to adjust the Church's stand on slavery, women's rights, universal suffrage, and a long laundry list of other items just to make you presentable in the modern age.
You will lose on this one too, no matter how much you fight.
We're not in the Judean desert anymore........and those of us who aren't Jewish never were to begin with.

It's because of some disenfranchised minority wants to control what everyone thinks. So they use some "feel good about everybody stick" (perverts, terrorists, murderers) to beat people up with who have an opposing view.

Does reading the bible cause a loss of brain cells?
Why should you care what anyone else does in their bedroom? Are you still in the closet?
