Is homosexuality an excommunicable offense in Christianity?

No.

Six, you can see this yourself. I happened to run across members of churches that welcome homosexuals. I would recommend a visit. In these churches, you can see what happens to men and women who have been called evil abominations their entire lives. You can see the wounds this castigation creates. You see self loathing this creates and the struggle of humans trying to be other than they are. What you see are human beings in terrible pain. Then you see what happens when a gay minister or bishop, married and fathers or morthers, (or even straight members of the clergy) who look at these men and tell them, “You are seen, and you are loved.” And then you watch men and women who have struggled so long break, the release of agony and hatred and the healing power of compassion. The moment a man treated as an abomination realizes that he and all his agony are seen? And loved? That is God’s healing power. Those who deny it and continue to demand suffering for veniality? They have missed the divine.

Three, there is the lower law (Deuteronomy) and the higher law (Christ). The lower law is meant as instructional ethics for people learning how to be ethical. It is a legal approach, i.e., rules that, if broken, should be punished, and proscriptive laws on how one is to behave. For example, it states, "Don’t lie, and be truthful." In terms of sex? These rules point the way toward the higher law. Do we need to produce an exhaustive list of things that men should not have sex with, only to have the lawyers among us find loopholes regarding third cousins, twice removed, so long as a goat is present? Or could we just use principle based guidance? Do not sin sexually.

Why is it after eating almonds when I’m occupied, I don’t feel mild itch, but as soon as I have nothing to do, I feel mildly itchy?

How can that be?

Five, all of the sexual activity is sin. Only sex in a marriage is ‘acceptable’. Even then, intent matters. Spousal rape is right out (yet was tolerated for quite some time). Spousal rape is a MORTAL sin. At best, homosexuality is a venial or minor sin. It is certainly not an abomination. Many churches treat mortal sexual sin as venial because they remain mired in the lower law. They either mistake mortal violations as minor offenses to be treated with penance or they ascribe behavior not explicitly condemned as a minor offense (i.e. was there a goat present?). This is errant.

I would start out by saying that there are definitively churches that say that it is and do practice excommunication for all homosexuals, regardless of actual conduct. They are wrong.

Seven, all of this comes from purpose. God created us so that he may revel in us and we, in turn, may revel in a relationship with him. God knows that we are not perfect, so he sent Christ and gave us, all of us, the Atonement. Those who deny this and seek to inject themselves into a relationship between God and his creation are, themselves, committing sin. The older I get, the more pronounced my awareness of sexual sin and its ubiquity becomes. Rare, exceedingly so, are those who can exist without ever committing sexual sin. So when we insist that one, and only one, sexual sin is mortal? Well, recent history shows us the consequences of this wrong approach.

Two, the Atonement and Covenant exist to provide a means of redress for minor sins. Lay members give an accounting against the Ten Commandments, and communion absolves those confessed sins. Most churches that condemn homosexuality with zeal allow minor sexual sin to be covered by this process. Yet they excommunicate even celibate homosexuals?

One, there is an entire laundry list of sexual sin. Yet the pews of churches are full of single mothers and fathers. They are filled with promiscuous and adulterous members who remain in good standing. There are sexual abusers in the pews, and even in the ranks of clergy. Yet these men were transferred rather than excommunicated. This had predictable consequences when it came to light. The damage inflicted by these ethical failures, both material and spiritual, was vast. It is not rectified by the zealous persecution of minor sexual sin in just one instance.

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

Four, we have already made the delineation between mortal and venial sin. This is commonly recognized as ‘degrees of sin.’ Murder carries more damage than a lie (in most cases). Even in violence, we recognize that soldiers engaged in the barbarity of war are not committing sin. Yet when they return home, if they kill an innocent? It is murder. Context is important. The same applies to sex. How exactly is a predatory pedophile who is repentant acceptable? Given penance and transferred to pray again and again and again? That is a failure of the higher law. It is a failure to note the danger and damage of sexual exploitation of children. It is a grievous MORTAL sin. How does a celibate gay man find himself … worse? An abomination? A married homosexual couple? Yet the same pews have promiscuous men and women everywhere? Yet the married couple is the abomination?
