That's just it, Christians don't like to think about sins being equal, but they are to God. We, as humans, are the ones who decide which sin is worse. I'm not saying I treat homosexuality like it's murder, if I did, my best friend in the world wouldn't be a gay guy.

I didn't see your question. I don't know what you're referring to though. I think most people have the opposite problem, actually, with preventing reproduction. I admit I'm one of the unclear ones on where the Bible stands on forms of birth control, etc. I know I've heard that the Catholic denomination doesn't believe in it, but other than that I'm not sure. As for this "stoning babies" thing...you've lost me.

Does your gay friend know you think this about him? And why don't you treat it like it's murder? ALL sins are equal, yes?

You said that we can't choose which scriptures to follow, no? To treat them all the same? Follow them all?

If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. -- Deuteronomy 21:18-21

I believe it is said that Jesus died for all of our sins so all sins don't require the ones commiting them to meet an untimely death via hardcore religious execution..

But I don't see the problem with it? If it doesn't affect anyone, it shouldn't be a problem.

He knows how I feel about homosexuality, but that doesn't mean I love him any less. I just don't support his lifestyle. and I don't treat it like its murder bc it goes back to what i just said. God sees all sins as equal. We, as humans, decide what we want to view as better or worse. Even the best of us do it. And you don't go around treating people like garbage, regardless of what or who they are. That's as bad as the sin you think they're committing.

This I can agree with.

You can disagree with Homosexuality and Not hate the people who are homosexuals. I personally, do not disagree.
