The saints move on to something more and that is the constant effort to walk in the spirit, free oneself from sin and take on the holy and sanctified nature. Sin first exists in the mind and our heart's desire from an external or internal stimulus. We make provision for sin when we do not clean up what is around us. The temptation involved gives us space to make the choice to entertain it and give in or to resist before it is an overt act. Sin is therefore potentiated weakness or potentiated defiance.
Victory is sweet.
The early church did not command very much abstinence, loving God, loving others and walking in the spirit is generally sufficient for us. What they did command is that we must abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. Idolatry and the suggestion of witchcraft could be argued as to an interpretation here but fornication is very clear. Paul also taught that fornication should not be named among us, we should abstain and flee from it. On the issue of homosexuality, it is immoral and a sinful lifestyle but so is any sexual relations outside of the sacrament of marriage.
