I just noticed that your user name is "The Amazing Theist." If that is not a misprint, I feel that perhpas my fellow administrator may have done you an injustice. Either way, though, your choice of calling yourself "Amazing" reveals an attitude that is unbecoming of one who wishes to edit an article about the one true God.

You have taken it upon yourself to insert your opinion based on the perception that being against sin -- which is an abomination, be it adultery, theft or Sabbath breaking - is the same as hating the sinner. If you are truly a theist, and not an atheist, you would have considered the context before posting about the character of God on the page about Him and about His Sabbath.

Sin is serious. It was a "simple" thing to doubt God in the very beginning. But God did not create a fruit that was a deadly poison. That would have been swift judgment with no mercy. Instead, the eating of the forbidden fruit was the failure of a test that mankind has faced ever since. Are we to trust God, or are we to fall to our own devices.

In the case of homosexuality, it is plain that such activity is against nature. What is not plain is that such activity reflects worship of self over worship of Yahweh. It was common among the pagan religions which had male and female prostitutes. To express one's love for another human being by gratifying physical desires is nothing short of self worship. It may also be the worshipping of pleasure or even the manipulating of natural forces to ones own advantage. For a follower of God to do such things is a major problem. At the very beginning, rules were made against it.

In what seems to be a minor thing -- working on the Sabbath -- is indeed a serious sin. God reveals that the Sabbath was based first on His own rest after working for six days. When Moses preached on this commandment, he reminds the people that it was also in contrast to the years of slavery in which they had no time to rest. The day was set apart for rest to allow mankind to depend on the blessing given in six days. If properly observed, it demonstrates that God is able to provide abundantly to those who wait on Him. If ignored, it demonstrates a lack of faith in that same God to provide during the period of rest.
