homosexuality, sin, & whatever analogy we use under the sun: let's hear both sides

okay testing this idea of listening first and then talking. i want to listen to everyone on this subject of homosexuality in the church (specific view, but not limited too, the umc). the nature of sin involved with it. please post your comment. 1 rule, there is to be no arguing with others, state your case and be at peace. i will be listening and see if i can erase some lines in the sand. if you need some jumping off points go see shane or jonathon.
