[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4860355, member: 24302"] I take it on faith that it's not part of God's plan for humanity. Under the Old Testament you would've been put to death. Under the new covenant, the New Testament, it's my duty to warn you that you're endangering your soul by continuing to practice sin. That's it. If you claim to be a Christian the Church is required to shun you if you refuse to stop living in sin. And that would also be the case for a married person having an affair and refusing to stop. For someone who refuses to stop stealing. And on it goes. Not to show hatred but to encourage you to give up the sin and come back to the Body of Christ. And I have my own issues to deal with, not concerned about what goes on behind closed doors, but when it's out in the open, becomes known it hurts the Church. So it's not like everyone is prying into private matters, spying on you, trying to find sin. [/QUOTE]
