...love the sinner hate the sin? As a gay person I know that I've been gay as long as I can remember and this entailed NO ACTION on my part. I've lived a Nearly celibate life and am only interested in a committed relationship. I have a degree in religion and am even considering going to a liberal seminary. Since being gay is not an 'action one takes.' ( I would know more than straight people considering that I am gay). What exactly is the 'sin' christians are referring too. Is it sinful to be born left handed or with brown hair as well? I had no choice in my sexual orientation. I'm gay right now writing this message and I'll die gay and I obviously didn't 'choose' to be gay and even tried to 'cover it up' before I accepted myself. I don't understand what sin christians are referring too?
