The point is not to argue whether those are sins but to remind that all of those are going to be seen by one Christian or another as a sin at one instance or another and by another as not a sin. Sins were put in the Bible for self reflection not for judging. It is our duty as Christians to preach and teach about God and about his appearance to us as Jesus and what Jesus died for. Unfortunately we seem to be preaching about sin from the Pulpit and ignoring grace. It is OK in my opinion to teach what the Bible says is sin and what sin will do to you, but we have to be careful since there is definitely some potential translation issues and we need to make sure we ask God to show us what we need and what he wants in our life. Thats why we should read the Bible daily and trust no man not even the preacher at the front of the Church. I also want to point out I do salute and pledge the flag but I also see how many Christians could perceive this as wrong and I am not completely convinced they are not wrong. There are scriptures for everything listed that could indicate the item is a sin in spite of the fact Christians will have excuses as to why its not if it doesn't fit our lifestyle to believe it. I do not exclude myself from this group. We also shouldnt dwell on this as the Bible tells us to think on that which is good. Its not so much the fact that I see fellow Christians call out sin as it is the judgemental and condemning tone they use while they have yet to even get the sty out of their own eye.
These are just my thinking processes, so I know they are all over the place.
