September 4, 201412 yr I feel like a round of Kumbaya is in order now... Before I scrolled down to your post I started humming it at my desk. No kidding. :lol2:
September 4, 201412 yr Where does homosexuality rate on the sin scale? Is it worse than adultery? Than premarital sex? Taking the Lord's name in vain?
September 4, 201412 yr Where does homosexuality rate on the sin scale? Is it worse than adultery? Than premarital sex? Taking the Lord's name in vain? That depends on each individual's moral compass. For me, it doesn't even rate.
September 4, 201412 yr Where does homosexuality rate on the sin scale? Is it worse than adultery? Than premarital sex? Taking the Lord's name in vain? Not sure of a sin scale but I would say saying GD ranks real high and I would say the #1 unforgivable sin is worshipping the devil. I have often wondered if one is worse than the other.

September 4, 201412 yr Do you believe they are all equal? I think the unforgivable sin is worshipping the devil.
September 4, 201412 yr An unforgivable sin is described in Mark 3 and Matthew 12 Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. I think Clyde is referring to the 10 commandments.
September 4, 201412 yr ...... I hope they aren't all equal in his eyes because I have a tattoo (don't print any marks upon you), I've been known to wear t-shirts with the sleeves cut off when I play basketball (don't rend your clothes), I eat oysters, lobsters and crab legs (don't eat anything from the seas without fins or scales), I eat pork (nothing with a divided hoof), have an extensive wardrobe (wear no mingled fabrics), and I've had wine at church (do not drink wine nor strong drink when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation).
September 4, 201412 yr Where does homosexuality rate on the sin scale? Is it worse than adultery? Than premarital sex? Taking the Lord's name in vain? Simply being homosexual is not a sin. Acting upon homosexual desires is sinful for the same reason pre-marital sex is sinful.
September 4, 201412 yr That depends on each individual's moral compass. For me, it doesn't even rate. Each person's moral compass? That would mean ANYBODY could do ANYTHING they want and say there is nothing wrong with it (say murder) because they have their own moral compass. Morality is objective and is inscribed in every person at conception. It's the part of the law of human nature.
September 4, 201412 yr For all that are discussing: There is no way to "measure" sin on earth. Only God knows a person's situation, reasons for their actions (that we may perceive as sins), etc. Although we know what is objectively right and wrong, it is not our duty/place to judge or decide who is a sinner and "how bad" they sin. The only exception may be pride, which is the way that the Devil became the Devil, so we know that Pride is the greatest sin.
