| | The problem with [[homosexual acts]], as with any other sin, is that it retards our spiritual growth or oven undoes it. People who steal, for example, necessarily lose their respect for other people's property and well-being. People who fornicate (i.e., engage in [[sexual intercourse]] outside of marriage) are largely using each other. The only way to express conjugal love properly is in the husband-wife relationship, as God ordained (Genesis 2:24). As to why this is so, you'll have to read [[Richard Cohen]]'s book, ''[[Coming Out Straight]]''. There are summaries and excerpts available at http://www.gaytostraight.org/ if you want to read more about this. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 09:33, 21 February 2009 (EST) | | The problem with [[homosexual acts]], as with any other sin, is that it retards our spiritual growth or oven undoes it.
