No, once again Jason It is God who deals in absolutes. It is God who doesn't compromise His moral values with Man. I only submit myself to His authority as one who is ATTEMPTING to be as obedient as I can as a sinner.
You on the other hand are demanding that the perfect God of life bend to your stubborn will as you rebelliously refuse to follow His moral principles. You can't put the guilt of your disobedience on me as if my obedience is the cause of your perversions of His value system which is clearly outlined in His written word, in both testaments.

NO Jason, you were making a direct statement that I also have sexual perversions which go against Gods word as if that would somehow exonerate your sins against Him. You will find that God judges us as individuals on that day, not as a group.

WOW, your ignorance and desire to compromise Gods truths for your personal sinful convenience is mind boggling. Yes Jason, God gave us free will, but not freedom to sin and rebel against Him with impunity. That's the whole point of A&Es fall from grace story, dontya know?
And as for comparing us to animals, do they need to get saved in order to go to heaven? Does the bible teach that animals are in rebellion against God as Man is? Does anything in the bible place animals on equal terms with humanity as creatures regarding our personal relationship with God? Were animals created for fellowship as we were or given the aforementioned free will you admit that we have in the very paragraph I'm responding to now?
Have you no ability to honestly consider the lies you are telling yourself in order to justify the blatant rebellion you are carrying out against Gods will?

Nor would I want to. What, should I desire to plunge into narcissistic lusts of the flesh which direct the unredeemed sinners life?

You're right about one thing Jason, and that is that God does love you, and just as you are, no less. But the whole point of you loving Him back is allowing Him to remake you in His image. That requires sincere submission and trust in His authority over your life. That is the evidence of being born again. You would listen to that still small voice which is convicting you of your sin rather than ignoring Him and screaming out that you are right in your rebellion against His will for your life. And it is my expression of christian love for you that I share this truth with you without compromising the truth in order for you to like me now.
My preference is that you hear my words and we can laugh about this in 10,000 years in Heaven. But that future is yours alone to choose, and if you spend your life defending homosexuality rather than the Lord who died for your sins, then you will have made your choice and it wont be Jesus you have chosen. Remember he said, "YOU EITHER LOVE ME OR YOU HATE ME, YOU ARE EITHER FOR ME OR AGAINST ME." There is no compromise with God apart from the Grace He bestowed on us through Christ our Lord.
