Re: Mike W and all doves- Christians and homosexuality

Thanks Mike, it's always nice to get good feedback. That post on homosexuality had much prayer and reflection as I wrote it.  
I've since thought of an analogy.
A person becomes saved and the Holy Spirit therefore resides in that person.
Let's say the person continues their former sinful life- in this case their sin has been murder- they're paid as a hit man to murder people. There's no true repentance there is there? That person is deceiving themselves if they go on murdering yet claim to know Jesus.
Now replace 'murderer' with 'homosexual'.  Sin is sin.
Saying "Christian homosexual" is akin to saying "murdering Christian" or "child abuser Christian". Again- sin is sin. With no sincere repentance and a turning away from the sin; made eminently possible by His grace, I would have trouble believing that person is sincere about walking with God.  Which do they love more? Their sin? Or Jesus? The answer should be obvious and is found in scripture: "if ye love me ye will obey me". Couldn't really be simpler. He must come first and He will give the grace needed for the sin to be stopped.
Blessings Mike and to all,
