:idunno:
maybe you make a distinction between acceptance and approval
Christians do not
Acceptance does not equate to approval. Spiritual ego is making that connection.

If so, christians may never accept themselves. Do you find such distinction within your own sinful existence?

The teachings of Scripture I have laid out on the topic of suicide are not dependent upon one's eternal destiny. Rather they find their root in the sovereignty of God over all His creatures.

i don't live a sinful existence :idunno:
i don't single out homosexuality - i lump it in with all sorts of other perversions that society now turns a blind eye to - adultery, divorce, pre-marital and extra-marital sex, pornography, abortion...
I have five of my own.....one's homosexual....I still have five of my own.
Then you're not being honest with me nor yourself.
And half of all pedophiles are homos.

It's the usual slippery slope fallacy that flies in the face of both reality and evidence. Fact of the matter is that there's more protection of children nowadays than there was when homosexuals were still being locked up.
Did you support gay rights before you had a gay child?
So, can you accept your own sinful acts without approving of them?

There is a difference. People accept things that they don't approve of all the time.
Think of a parent who doesn't approve of his child's sexual orientation, but accepts it because they love them anyway.
Reading through the last page, it appears I wasn't the only one to use this analogy
No...the issue of rights never occurred to me back then. Though, my position has always been live and let live.
No, they are unacceptable, hence why I needed a Savior as do all.
