The original passage you quoted was, I believe, aimed at the Pharrisees(sp). You know the ones that were all about following the letter of the law with out giving a wit for the spirit of the law. That’s an important point. When Jesus was asked which commandment was the most important he said “Love The Lord your God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself” badly paraphrased there but the spirit of the passage is intact. 
Skank, would that more SBCers were like you! 
To me it seems clear that the Biblical strictures against homosexual acts (it only addresses homosexual feelings once, in Romans, and what Paul is saying there is so controverted it may not be worth getting into) are commands against the gratification of lust (in the theological sense, not equal to sexual desire, but to its perversion as exclusively self-gratification). However, I’m told repeatedly that “that’s not what the clear words of the Bible say” – usually by those whose conduct does not seem to themselves to be in violation of the Parable of Sheep and Goats (quoted above) or Jesus’s Summary of the Law, though nearly everyone else thinks that it is.
In any case, whether gobear or Esprix (he, by the way; he’s a gay man and a very interesting poster to interact with) are sinning in their sex lives or not is NOMB; my job is to love them as my brothers, to respect them as the children of God that they are, to share Christ’s love with them in ways they’ll accept (and given the fact that people who have “shared Christ’s love” by calling them abominations and other hateful terms have effectively driven them away from Him, that has to be a very walk-on-eggs-ish bit of sharing).
I just read Polycarps post in the above link. :smack: Could have saved myself alot of typing.
