Think about it this way padib.
What if the Bible actually wrote it the opposite way we now know it. What if the sin was being hetero?
I know it's hard for you to put yourself in someone else's shoes about this subject, but please try it for just a moment.

@bolded. It will be my great delight. I never ask someone to do something I wouldn't myself be willing to do.
Regarding italics, if the bible stated that being heterosexual was a sin, I would stop being a Christian immediately. It is contrary to every fibre of reason and conviction I have irrespective of scripture. To assure you, there are areas in the bible I struggle with very much so. Thankfully, they aren't as blatant as "flee from heterosexuality, or any form of sexuality whatsoever".
In other words, I can understand why people who, with their convictions of life telling them homosexuality is good, were quick to throw the bible out. I can understand that position since, if I were in their shoes, I would have done the same.
Excellent question.

Thank you padib.
I see now that your conviction against homosexuality is Biblical reference and nothing personal. I can appreciate that. You would do well to let people know that in the future.

To tell you the unmasked truth, I believe I am biologically bisexual. I have had homosexual relations in the past, and have enjoyed them all. I still fantasize on them.
Having said that, given my dedication to my convictions, I have worked to focus my efforts on the heterosexual side of my desires.
Though you may be very saddened by that, I hope you understand that is my personal choice, and in a world where people are free to choose and follow where their heart leads them, I know you respect my decision if at least out of respect for the disposition of my heart.
added: If it helps alleviate the burden of saddness, I also have incestuous tendencies that I keep in check.

Oh shit, padibs got some skeletons in the closet! I would probably do what you are doing if I was bi. I'd focus on hetero, it's just easier with kids and making sure you have the correct balance of masculine and feminine influences on those kids (Not that homo couples can't, but it's just easier).
Sorry to butt in here xD
