It’s Not a Salvation Issue

I was recently on a Christian college campus in Ohio. A friend of mine and I were there speaking on the subject of homosexuality, specifically how Christians ought to be more kind to LGBT+ people, even as we hold true to the historical Christian understanding on that issue.

One student thought she would settle the question of same-sex, sexual relations and marriage using the age-old solution we’ve all heard; “Well, it’s not a salvation issue.” That takes care of that!

Here’s the question, I’m going to try to answer:

If a moral issue does not directly prevent us from salvation, does that mean God is indifferent to our moral choices?
