Homosexuality is a sin. The heavenly Father, the God, Almighty, declared it to be a sin to Moses.The act is the sin.

Now, even though the sin is a mortal sin, the sin can be forgiven.

The act is an a*********n to God and nature. The act not the person is h**ed and it is the act that is condemned. The person who commits the act should not be condemned nor punished by man. For only God knows what is in the man's heart and it is by their heart that the person is judged.

Atonement for any sin is to change our ways out of sin. The sinner is called by God to change their ways and sin no more.

Sin is like morphine, or heroine for it is habit forming. Therefore, one who engaged in sin, is like a drug user. It is very hard for a sinner to break the habit.

To be completely forgiven of the sin, the sinner must put away the sin, and tendency to sin, and change their lives.

A former homosexual will be like an exsmoker in the respect that they will condemn the act with more zeal than a non homosexual.

Remember do not condemn the sinner. The sinner is ens***ed with in the sin. Human compassion for the sinner can help bring the sinner out of s***ery. That freedom is called redemption.

Now sinners can be of any faith. But for the sinner to find God or Christ lest still sin, is described by St Paul as a Luke warm believer.

I hope this helps in your understanding...
