In the Lord's Prayer is the plea to God, "lead us not into temptation but . . ." It's not clear to me that temptation by itself (not lusting but close) does not count as sin.

There are different words to describe them and also Leviticus 18 and 20 end with saying that it's for these kinds of practices the other nations are being driven out. Nothing about that with eating shellfish.My Blog: http://oncreationism.blogspot.co.uk/

But homosexuality, as well as fornication and adultery are clearly STILL called sin in the NT.

Since you have no real desire to understand, and only wish to cling to your sin, I will leave you to it.

Jesus said He fulfilled the Law. Paul reacted as if the Law had been fulfilled.
