I have never been married, i have 2 children, I live with my boyfriend and we have sex. Am i still not as sinful as a homosexual?

I am just asking because i have quite a few homosexual friends who are terrified to even go to church with me because of the way they get treated by everyone in this small town we are from. everywhere they go by all sorts of people religious or not, they get treated as if their sin was larger than all others, like they are to blame for all that goes wrong with the world.

Not to me.
If homosexuality was so sinful how come it didn't make the top ten commandements?

No you are no more or less sinful than a homosexual. Sin is sin in the eyes of the Lord-
About your friends who are homosexual- are they more verbal about their lifestyle than yours when they go to church with you? Does your church say anything to you about how you live? Does your church approve of you living with your BF? If they do they are not teaching the whole truth now are they? You seem to know you are living in sin, so why are you, if you call yourself a Christian? Please do not be offended, by this, all Christians stumble, I am one of them- however, I do not purposeful live in sin and then go to church as if everything is ok.

Sin is something early church leaders made up to keep people 'in line'.

But even according to them all sins are equal. Telling a lie is equal to being homosexual.

Some day the church might come out of the dark ages and realize that being homosexual is not a sin or a crime.

According to Mark 10:6-9, you are already married. Don't sweat the BS anyone else will tell you. Be happy, be a mother and a partner. Thats what God wants.
I won't touch the homosexual angle, as it has nothing to do with your situation.

It's hard to say. Just to be safe, why don't you bring another woman into your relationship? That way, all your sin bases will be covered, and your boyfriend will be happy.

Is sex before marriage okay if you love each other?


No, sex before marriage is sinful even if you love each other. Being in love doesn't alter the reality that the sexual act is outside of marriage, marriage being the ceremonial union of a man and woman in matrimony. Sex outside of marriage is called fornication and the Bible definitely condemns it.

Matt. 15:19-20, "For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. 20 “These are the things which defile the man."
Acts 15:29, "...that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication; if you keep yourselves free from such things, you will do well."
1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
Heb. 13:4, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge."
So, very clearly fornication is condemned in scripture and there is no provision for it being acceptable just because someone loves each other. Besides if this couple is so much in love, then why don't they carry out what true love is and marry each other? True love is when you put another person first, not when you take from them. For a man and woman to engage in fornication is to declare that such love for the other person is more self centered, than other centered.

Is it okay for a man and woman to live together if they are not married?


If the man and woman are brother and sister and are living under the same roof, it would be permissible, provided there is nothing illicit in their relationship. If the situation is that a man and woman who are not married to each other and are living together and having sexual relations, that would be sinful. If the unmarried man and woman are living together, are not related, and are not having sexual relations, then other factors come into play. First of all, the Bible says that we are to avoid even the appearance of evil. If their living together stumbles others sufficiently to warrant a different living arrangement, then that should be done.
But, basically, an unmarried man and woman living together, sleeping in the same bed, etc., is wrong and sinful.

1 Cor. 6:18, "Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body."
Eph. 5:3, "But do not let immorality or any impurity or greed even be named among you, as is proper among saints."
Col. 3:5, "Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry."
1 Thess. 4:2, "For you know what commandments we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God."

you are, what,

wait, what exactly is your question?
You are a homosexual?
Just kidding!

You want to have a debate?
But you really just want to share opinions.
There is nothing to decide on, as sin is subjective.
If you feel guilty, maybe starting lame debates will not be enough to stop your guilt.
But is your guilt enough to stop your behavior?
..No! No, it's not.

Sounds like someone is moving towards a loss of faith!
Congratulations!!!!

You are as sinful as a homsexual. But then, so am I. The Bible says if you are quilty of one point of the law you are guilty of all the law. We do need to turn from our sin, but it is a daily process. Christ paid for our sin. We just need to trust Him.

I part company with alot of Christians on this, but I don't believe homosexuality is "worse" than adultery or fornication, or slander or gossip, or hypocrisy. I think as many lives have been damaged by back-stabbing, lying, and lust as by anything we, as humans, do.

we got bigger things in this country to worry about than who is sleeping with whom.

in this time of turmoil, death and war, I would say that if anyone is lucky enough to find someone to care about them and share mutual feelings, then they are truly blessed.

we need to start concerning ourselves with ourselves and stop trying to live other people's live.
