I think I'm going to create a whole new topic about this because this is just one of the things that people treat as the unforgiveable sin and I think it would make for good discussion as why.

I must say I am surprised to see a Unitarian not fully captured by a humanist agenda that attempts to interpret God's word to fit their world view.
Here's my new thread and even though I won't be commenting regularly anymore in this thread I have a couple of questions. First of all,.. what exactly do you mean by this? And second of all,.. is there a reason other than God forbids it why these are sins (LGBTQ) in the first place?
Something That I Just Don't Understand
I must say I am surprised to see a Unitarian not fully captured by a humanist agenda that attempts to interpret God's word to fit their world view.
Actually I will give one more comment,.. being gay is not the unforgiveable sin people so you shouldn't act like it is. Not saying that all of you do but a lot of you are acting like it.
Yeah, I said what I meant and I meant what I said.
Unforgivable <> Unforgiven. Do you believe sin can enter the gates of heaven, i.e., salvation remains granted to those willful sinners who have not repented?
Suppose someone is a cheater. They cheat their customers or employees. Saying they accepted Christ is only words if they continue to sin, right? Sure, their past sin is forgivable and, when sought, will be forgiven. However, this does not apply to ongoing and future sins does it? I don't think so - and it does not matter what the sin is.
There is not a movement of thieves that demand we accept their stealing ways and they don’t have parades that say they have pride for their thieving ways. So why would thieves think we hate them? Thats the problem me thinks.
One thing about a den of thieves, is its all very serious when you may be stabbed in the back at any time. Think Democratic national convention.
Are the LGBTs really celebrating and having a good time at their pride parades, or just showboating to raise awareness and public acceptance?
I think it is to try to make public acceptance as you said.
There are groups that have been and are promoting thieves in so many ways openly and also underhandedly with subversion tactics and also Business tactics that are criminal intent driven and Media TV promote many con jobs.Homosexuals think we hate them
Homosexuals think they were born gay and Christianity says they are not. So it is different then for say someone who steals. They can stop stealing as it is a choice but the gays think they cannot stop being gay as they think were born that way. So that sin is in a different category. They think we just hate them.

I see homosexuality (and all LGBTQ) as like an addiction though. If somebody is addicted to drugs just saying they want to quit even if they do mean it and trying to quit isn't all that easy for them.
Agreed. In fact, I believe all sin is like an addiction.
I agree with this. If a gay man can not adopt a kid, then other people who are sexually perverse should also not adopt.The only thing that I agree with you on this is that homosexuals aren't born the way they are because God doesn't make mistakes and He doesn't contradict Himself and obviously homosexuals can't reproduce biologically by themselves,.. but to say they couldn't or shouldn't adopt (even though they are sinners) is a load of manure in my book.
GoodI agree with this. If a gay man can not adopt a kid, then other people who are sexually perverse should also not adopt.
prostitutes shouldn't adopt.
fornicators shouldn't adopt.
adulterers shouldn't adopt.
