Sin often means not only denying God, but also denying the way we are made. when people say that any sex act is acceptable as long as nobody gets hurt,true but what of hurting God. They are fooling themselves. One of the clearest indicators of a society or person in rebellion against God is in the rejection of God's guidelines for the use sex.
Homosexuality was as widespread in Paul's days as it is in ours. God is willing to receive ANYONE WHO COME TO HIM IN FAITH, AND Christians should LOVE and ACCEPT others no matter what their background and 'Orientation'. Yet homosexuality is strictly forbidden.
Many homosexuals believe that their desires are normal and that they have a right to express them. But God does not encourage us to fulfill all our desires. Those desires that violate his laws must be controlled.
Remember, God can and will forgive sexual sins just as he forgives other sins. Therefore I would say sexual sin is not a criminal act. First of all, I would want to know what government term as criminal act. I believe our religious societies or the church should be responsible for the cautioning and correcting of sinful act that doesn't affect the welfare and security of the citizens but goes against God's guideline.
If you are already deeply involved in homosexual behavior, seek help from a trustworthy, professional, Pastoral counselor. Prison terms does not help. I believe our government should be creative enough to know that prison terms cant help stop but proper orientation and lovly correction could help.
Whenever we find ourselves feeling justifiably angry about someone's sin, we should be careful. We need to speak out against sin, but we must do so in a spirit of humility and love because we are not any better. God hates the sin in us but he loves us still. Think about GOD!
