Another position advocated by some Christians is rejecting-nonpunitive . Like the first view, homosexuality is seen as inherently unnatural and must be condemned. However, because of Christ s grace, they believe that homosexuals should not be condemned. In contrast to the rejecting-punitive view, they support the civil rights of homosexuals. The persecution of gays is viewed as unjust and hypocritical.
Qualified acceptance is a third view.
They still view homosexuality as a sin. This position indicates if homosexuals cannot refrain from sexual activities they should be in fully committed relationships. Full acceptance is the fourth major theological position among Christians. This position views sexuality as an important ingrained part of human love. Ethical sexual relationships are those that include commitment, trust, tenderness, and respect for the partner.
