 I Tim. 1:9-10 (HCSB) "We know that the law is not meant for the righteous person, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and irreverent, for those who kill their fathers and mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral and homosexuals, for kidnappers, liars, perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to the sound teaching based on the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was entrusted to me."  (Note that Paul again affirms his appointment by God himself.)

Look at how Paul couples different categories of sin:

1.  Lawless_____________Rebellious
2.  Ungodly____________ Sinful
3.  Unholy_____________ Irreverent
4.  Killers of parents______Murderers
5.  Sexually immoral_____ Homosexuals
6.  Kidnappers__________Liars-Perjurers
8.  Whatever else________I think  that covers it all.

We are currently living in a sexually immoral society that wants to say, "God didn't really mean what he said, he was just offering suggestions".  Since sex is a drive--and we all want to fulfill this drive--it stands to reason that we would want to change the meaning of God's word to fit the times, or a situation we have in our within our own family.  But nothing has changed at all since biblical times concerning this subject.  It is what it is.  God says what he says.  You believe Him or you don't.  Compromise isn't on God's agenda.
