What about the Adulterer in his heart. The man who only looks. Jesus said this LOOKER has COMMITED Adultery. Sin is a heart problem and does not have to be an observable action, it could just be a thought. Why is this so hard to understand? Having some bad thoughts?. Action & Behavior show what is in the heart.
Do you have a DIRTY HEART?
Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

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.
