Pilgrim Soldier

I’m loathe to touch this subject as it always seems to bring very emotive thoughts to the surface! However, I have just read something that has sparked a thought in my mind and I’m sick and tired of seeing the judgemental way this issue seems to be dealt with.

How is that some areas of the Church treat people who are ‘gay’ differently than to any other sexual sin?

When people are addicted to pornography the Church goes all out to help them. When men make a mistake and commit adultury, people try to treat them with compassion and seek to help them through what is clearly a difficult time in their lives and those of their families.

Why then, when someone admits that they are gay and are in a loving relationship do certain sections of this loving Church treat them as if they are the worst of sinners and beyond forgiveness? Maybe I’m naive but how is it different? How can what two adults do in the privacy of the bedroom be such different categories of sin depending on whether they are hetrosexual or homosexual?

Sin is sin! Sexual sin is sexual sin! Sexual sin is no worse than any other type of sin and homosexual sin is no worse than any other sexual sin. Why can’t everyone just accept that and quit trying to grade everything according to the world’s standards?
