Compare apples to apples. If you're not married, to be on the same page, I have to compare your unmarried homosexual relationship to an unmarried heterosexual relationship.

As such a monogamous, trusting long term heterosexual relationship that includes sex is just as fornicative as would be a a monogamous, trusting long term homosexual relationship that included sex.



Not twisting anything. Just making the point that's been made in several other threads that TIME does not change sin into something else.

If it is sin at the beginning, you doing it with the same person and only that person for the next 50 years ain't gonna change it to any less of a sin.



Naah. Yall just think it's possible to get cheated on by someone you're fornicating with.

I've never said time does. Hence why I don't use the term long-term. But time DOES help. You can't deny that. A couple that's been together for years is going to be less likely to have that problem. Also, the only reason gays can't marry and have such a judgment problem is because you keep them from marrying. Double-standard much?

So are you admitting that you think sin becomes less of a sin after time passes?

You can't deny that.

Sure I can. If you murder someone today, 10 years from now you would have still murdered someone. Same applies for 50 years from now.

Less likely to have what problem?

I don't keep anyone from marrying. You "marrying" someone of the same-sex will not stop your fornication from still being fornication.

Now yall keep saying that a piece of paper does not legitimize your relationships , but on some level some of you seem to have the impression that the piece of paper is going to make your sin be viewed as less of a sin.

Point being that nothing of man can make into holy that which God calls sin.

See, twisting words. In a relationship, the farther along the relationship goes, the less likely cheating will happen. It could still happen, but as trust builds it's less likely.

Until you stop twisting my words I'm not sure why I bother keeping this on.

So what does your growing trust have to do with the question that was asked? I asked if you believe that a sin becomes less of a sin after time passes? I didn't ask you about the likelihood of cheating.

Your words haven't been twisted? I asked you a question and you keep responding to something that wasn't asked. :D

I was refering to the topic MercyBurst thinks he's correct about which might be why I got it confused.

Either way, if you ask God to wipe it away, to God, it no longer exists. Too people, it still exists and forgiveness shouldn't cloud it, but don't hold it against that person years later when they've realized the outcome of their mistake. Just make sure they stay on track. You forgive, you don't forget.
