I wasn't punished, Jesus died on the cross for us so that we aren't punished with eternal death for our sins, his love and mercy covers us. I totally get that you do not view two people in a same sex loving relationship as committing any sin. I myself thought this for many yrs. My husband went to school to be a pastor and he had some experiences in San Fran that was blinding him to the truth of the bible because if there can be a gay pastor who seems to be having the gifts of the Spirit (love joy peace patience, etc) then how could it be wrong? And we believed that up until this past yr when we both dealt with a lot of junk and realized we were following our own truth and not God's truth. And then it was confirmed by three gay and lesbian Christians I follow who speak that same truth and transformation they have had in Christ.
So when I discuss this topic I usually ask do you believe in objective truth? Or do you believe we can all make up our own truth? If you believe we can all make up our own truth then no one can be wrong no matter how outlandish you think their truth is!! But if there is an objective truth, an objective standard we ought to live our lives by then it's universal for all people at all times and never changes. This is what I believe and what millions of Christians believe. That God's truth is never changing and his love is never ending and is a firm foundation for everyone to stand on. It surpasses any earthly fleshly thing. Including our deepest relationships. And I wouldn't trade that Truth for anything.
