Jesus Himself testifies to the greater punishment referencing what is awaiting the pharisees. But I don't think burning a little our burning a lot is a wise measure to take. Meaningful issues lay elsewhere.

Their punishment is irrelevant to what I'm explaining.
Since people don't learn as efficiently as others, then putting any info or an idea in a different way IS logical.
It's not adding to or twisting anything.

Its not so much the relevancy of the details just the implication that some things to me are just wasteful to measure. My God Is my shelter there is none whatsoever found in the degrees of offense to Him.

Made that one up, did you?
Notice also... "Cain" is not born again.
So, You are not to "subdue" sin. You are to be "made free" from it, as "Christ Always Gives me the VICTORY" .. over the world, the flesh, and the devil..
How?
by becoming..."The Righteousness of GOD, in Christ".

SIN Is Not A Toy My Friend Don't Play With It. How cleaver a concept is that? Is there such a thing as a smart answer for it? Playing with fire was a kind way of putting it. Very sorry it landed as a joke on you. So what is the nature sin contains that makes it wrong? Can we start there instead of a slapping match contest?

No. There are more.
The term blasphemy may be generally defined as “defiant irreverence.” The term can be applied to such sins as cursing God or willfully degrading things relating to God. Blasphemy is also attributing some evil to God or denying Him some good that we should attribute to Him. This particular case of blasphemy, however, is called “the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit” in Matthew 12:31.
Equate Jesus' works i.e. miracles and "possessed by a demon (Matthew 12:24) to evil.

"God hath made JESUS to be SIN for us'....
"Jesus is the ONE TIME.... ETERNAL Sacrifice for SIN"
See those? @hopefulson ?????????
That is John 3:16
John 3:17
2 Corinthians 5:19
Romans 4:8
So, if you are not born again, then of course you have your sin. But if the person is born again, then Jesus has their sin.
See THE CROSS of CHRIST (for the update) on (forgiven sin).
Is HOMOSEXUALITY a "sin"?
Its an incredible one.

I think one day we as Christians will be punished for 'hate crimes' due to
the strong language used against the practice of homosexuality?
One day. I think that will be only the beginning.

Nonsense.
"
24 Then the Lord rained down brimstone (flaming sulfur) and fire on Sodom and on Gomorrah from the Lord out of heaven,
25 and He overthrew (demolished, ended) those cities, and the entire valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and whatever grew on the ground.
27 Abraham started out early the next morning to the place where he [only the day before] had stood before the Lord; 28 and he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the valley [of the Dead Sea]; and he saw, and behold, the smoke of [e]the land went up like the smoke of a kiln (pottery furnace)."

@Bethel
Maybe I wasn’t concise in my statement and I apologise.I believe that one day; Christians may face repercussions for using strong language against homosexuality,
potentially being labeled as committing 'hate crimes.' This could mark the beginning of a larger trend.
I appreciate your perspective and the scripture you've shared. However, interpretations of passages like the
one from Sodom and Gomorrah can vary among Christians. What experiences or beliefs have influenced your views on my post?
I'm interested in understanding why you called it 'Nonsense.'
God Bless...

We have been persecuted, insulted, and attacked for our views on Alphabet people.
Very different then some communist Gestapo "police" coming to one's home, breaking the door, and arresting us while guns are pointed at us and our loved ones.
Will that happen? It's not a matter of IF but WHEN.

I actually like @Bethel 's reply to your post. She is simply making the point I believe that before we face repercussions, God's patience with them will run out
.I do believe that the last days we are in now will be a short period of turbulence. God wants to maximize His return of saints in heaven and the devil wants to maximize his time in the sun. As such the Holy Spirit will certainly hold the devil back and keep a balance of good and evil up to the appointed time of the rapture. The tribulation is the devils time in the sun. This is a fixed date in time, seven years before the end of the sixth day. As such I believe the rapture will be very close to the start of the tribulation. I expect 4-5 years of mild discomfort and perhaps 1-2 years of extreme discomfort for Christians prior to the tribulation. Granted many Christians in certain countries have extreme discomfort right now, but not so much for those in Christian dominated countries.

This is an incorrect statement. Jesus preached regularly in the Synagogue Luke 4:16-37. He used the OT and taught from it. It is only after a session in the wilderness that Jesus started to stir the waters.
Now, what many and I really mean many Christians get wrong is the application and importance of the OT. Jesus did at no point ever oppose or nullify any OT teaching. All scripture is God breathed 2 Tim 3:16-17 and Jesus is the word (OT and NT) John 1:1. Any removal or addition will result in one receiving a terrifying punishment Rev 22:19.
As such, please understand that if you state that ''Jesus did not say X and Y, when X and Y is in scripture / in Him'' you need to pick your words very carefully.
Having said all that. We need to understand that Jesus did not come to re-write Leviticus, it was already written, there was no need to do so. We need to properly understand what Jesus did in fact come to do. That is perhaps a topic for another thread.
You are not properly discerning the matter. Paul very clearly isolates a 'brother so called' 1 Cor 5:11 who is guilty of sexual immorality in 1 Cor 5:1. Then in 1 Cor 5:9-10 he mentions the following:
I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people, not at all referring to the immoral of this world ......... not even to eat with such a person.
Here Paul gives us a clear instruction on our interaction with homosexuals / anyone overtaken with sexual sin.
If it is still not clear, what he is stating can be summarized as follows:
1. Remove any who call themselves a Christian and are known to be in a gross sexual sin, from the congregation.
2. Do not even eat with them.
3. If they do not profess to be a Christian, welcome them into church and feel free to eat with them.
