If an adulterer comes to Christ and no longer commits adultery, do we continue to call him an adulterer? I think not. In like manner, a homosexual who comes to Christ and no longer commits homosexuality should no longer be called a homosexual. Do you agree? The reason this is important is because there is this HUGE politically correct lie out there that homosexuals are born that way and that homosexual rights is a civil rights issue. Laws are being changed all over the country to add "sexual orientation" to their anti-discrimination laws. Homosexuality is defined by behavior just like the terms adultery and fornication. If a female becomes born again, she is still a female, and if a black person becomes born again, he is still a black person, but when a homosexual becomes born again, he is no longer a homosexual. Homosexuality is a sin, but being female or being black is not. See the difference? Peace be with you.
