- This poster seems to be saying that homosexual acts are not sinful,
- and that the Holy Spirit leads him and others to this belief.
-
- It's dangerous to attribute to the Holy Spirit that sinful acts are
- in fact not sinful. Especially when one is claiming that one knows
- better than the Church which Jesus promised would have the Holy Spirit
- to protect her from error. If you are wrong it could very well be
- blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
