When immorality is approved past times culture, Christians fighting to hold biblical values.
That's why roughly Christians directly advise that practicing homosexuals or single couples living together tin last good Christians. They signal out that we're all sinners.
But this declaration breaks downwards quickly:

We don't locomote past times sinless when nosotros follow Christ, but neither create nosotros justify sinful lifestyles.
We operate wholeheartedly to overcome our sins (Philippians 2:12-13).
3. Culture is constantly changing the Definition of correct in addition to wrong.
No ane claims practicing pornographers, pimps, prostitutes, or pedophiles tin last proficient Christians because these lifestyles aren't accepted past times civilisation (at to the lowest degree non yet).
But God doesn't alter (Hebrews 13:8).
