I am curious about the next line though, what constitutes an "ordinary sinner"? Now I don't want to get into the whole question and speculation about which sins lead to death and which do not or anything like that, but I gotta know, why is homosexuality so much greater and filthier a sin than lying or cheating or not keeping my body in good health or failing to show kindness to someone? Let me guess, I Corinthians 6, right, every sin a man commits is outside his body but the one who commits fornication sins against his own body? If that's the text then I would obviously point out that that deals just as much with hetersexuals committing fornication. Or maybe we're thinking of Leviticus (either 18:22 or 20:13)in which he's talking to the priest (men of the tribe of Levi) and God says to not lay with men like you lay with a woman. Or, the ever popular Romans 1, around verse 27, Men giving up natural uses of the woman and doing shameless acts and receiving the "due penalty for their error." All great passages that underline the Biblical truth, homosexuality is a sin. But why is it worse than other sins?

I have always asked this question myself. Did Christ atone for this sin or not? What sins are the elect allowed to continue in and still be saved? This side of the grave will never be perfect. So if one is Justified and blameless in Christ, and they sin, why is homosexuality the sin of death?

There never was a sinner half as big as Christ is as a Savior.
