Well, there is no sin in being gay. The immorality comes from engaging in forbidden behavior. Therefore, the Christian homosexual is in the same situation as the unmarried heterosexual. He (or she) is expected to control his or her lusts and live a holy life. I know this is a tough position to take, and some will argue with it. But I stand on the authority of Scripture, and I have no license to edit it. James C. Dobson
About This Quote

In an article written to a Christian newspaper, a pastor claims that the immorality comes from engaging in forbidden behavior. When a man has sex with another man, he is sinning because there is a prohibition against it. Therefore, the Christian homosexual should be held to the same standard as a heterosexual because he should be able to control his lusts and live a holy life. He states in the article that he knows this is a tough position to take but he stands on the authority of Scripture and has no license to edit it.
