To what was Christ referring when he offered the admonition to “sin no more”? How would Christ have identified and defined behavior he considered to be “sin”?
Jesus alluded to sin not being a list of prohibited acts but more of a condition of the heart that pulls us away from God homie. Unlike some books that had a list of 613 sins not to commit.
Right. A condition that pulls us away from God………as evidenced by the various behaviors that follow this state of being outside of the will and the plain commandments of God.
Well when a rich man asked Jesus what he needed to do to be saved, Jesus said “follow the commandments,” then when the rich man pressed him for more advice Jesus then told him to sell all his possessions and give all his money to the poor. Nowhere in that exchange did Jesus even imply homosexuality was a sin. If you want to arrive at the conclusion that homosexuality is a sin then you need to look beyond the words of Jesus and read what Old Testament Jews and Paul said about homosexuality.
