No, there is no difference as BIG sin and little sin...but, we can't be PROUD in our sin-that's what God hates the most-those who are proud in their sin. So if these homosexual men that were baptized in the church were expecting the church to except them for who they are, yeah, they are in the wrong.

Once someone becomes a Christian, you develop a RELATIONSHIP with Christ. Which means that you'll read the Bible, come to church, pay your tithes, pray, etc. When you establish that relationship and learn the dos and don'ts, you're an unconditional Christian. Which means that you will NOT say, Lord, I'm homosexual, and you have to execpt me this way...or Lord, I'm an adultress, and you have to except me this way, because there's no big sin and little sin. That's not how it works in Christianity. God is love, but God is a God of judgement as well. Homosexuality is an abominiation to Christ. God will not condone that behavior if you have "this is just the way I am" mentality. This is not my theory...this is scripture, therefore, I'm not passing judgement. You can do as you please, but the scripture states in Leviticus, that DEATH WILL BE UPON YOU if you live that lifestyle. YOU MUST BE WILLING TO MAKE CHANGE! This includes everything that we, as Christians, fall short on. We all must be willing to make change!

This is my THIRD time editing this post. It's really bothering me that CHRISTIANS are so relaxed on this topic. If homosexuality is NOT an abomination (WICKEDNESS, God died on the cross for our sins, not our WICKEDNESS), why did God destroy the city of Sodom and Gomorrha? Jude 1:7: Even as Sodom and Gomorrha and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after STRANGE FLESH, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. What does that scripture mean? In the city of Sodom and Gomorrha, people were living proudly in their wickedness. God does not like when we live proudly in our wickedness. This is not my opinion, this is not Delph998 passing judgement, this is a scripture that was read of the Bible, therefore, we need to abide by the guidelines.
