If we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sin, God who is faithful and just, will forgive our sin and cleanse us of all unrighteousness. It's not as much that homosexuality is a sinful act (which like heterosexual lust, it no doubt is), rather the denial that it is a sinful act at all that causes you to raise yourself above God. Jeff calls the LCMS arrogant. The LCMS simply stands firmly on the scriptures Jeff. You've obviously found a place that doesn't recognize inerrancy of scripture. That must be the foundation of your argument. As for me, I see that theology as "yes I love you Lord and want your justification. These are the terms on which you will accept me. They're better the ones written in the Bible." God bless us all in our struggles with our sins. On His righteousness I stand and His alone.
