Lemme just list some scriptures...
1 Corinthians 6:9, 10
1 Timothy 1:8-10
Leviticus 18:22
Romans 1:26, 27
Oh yeah, and why was Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed? Let's just say Sodom wasn't known for its pottery.
Homosexuality is wrong because:
1. It goes against God's arrangement of "man and woman" as stated in Genesis.
2. It's a crime against the human race. How much longer would the human race last if everyone was strictly homosexual?
God forgives those who turn around and follow his commands. This may be very hard in some instances, but God is more powerful than any tendency we may have and he will help us.

Living a lifestyle characterized by homosexual acts is not compatible with being a Christian. Being tempted in that area is just one way that a person can face temptation. But if you look at this list of sins, you will see that homosexuality is included.
1 Corinthians 6:9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor covetous, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor abusive people, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you! But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
The good news is that by the power of the Holy Spirit a person can overcome any and all of the sins listed in the above passage.

Sin is unbelief thats the only way a person could go into the lake of fire (hell)
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Leviticus 18:22
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. Romans 1:26,27
Theirs more but these 2 say it point blank, no parables, no New International version interpretations, it's just their right in front of you.
I don't care what's goin on in them man made denominations (they garnish the prophets tombs and their the ones who put them in there read matthew 23 29-36 to better understand). Don't let what's going on in those denominations sway you from the truth.
Sin is unbelief and all those bad things people call sin ar actually atributes of his unbelief. Drinking, smoking,lies stealing, unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: all done because people don't belive his word.
If you don't see it now I pray you do soon before california goes under water
I'll end with this God doesn't love everybody.... he loves his children and his children obey his word
Lord bless bro...or sis i'll be prayin 4 ya

If your looking at it from a biblical standpoint then very much so yes. The bible clearly states that relationships were set up for a male and a female. And that a deviation from this is a sin. Thats why Sodom and Gomorrha were destroyed in the Bible. The entire city had become morally corrupt and homosexuality was commonplace. Homosexuality is unnatural in general. We weren't meant to be ok with it. It's just that its considered normal in todays society.

That act of being gay is a sin, I believe being gay is a choice and once you've indulged in homesexuality your committing a sin against God.
I also want to add that I am a Christian and my job is to love everyone including the gay population. I don't just tolerate homosexuals, I love them the way God loves, my job isn't to judge it's to simply show God's Love and Salvation in every way I can.

The Bible is inherently inconsistent. It seems that God changed his mind a few times. But let's remember that the church over the years has been responsible for countless injustices, torture, murder, theft, and rape. So worrying about the "sinfulness" of actions may be irrelevant. Do you want a God that created people in his image and then declares that image sinful? I don't.

This is probably the hardest question nowadays. There has been a debate about whether being gay is a sin or not.
My answer is, however, yes.
Some people (esp. gay people themselves) argue that being gay doesnt cause inconvinience to other people. It's not a crime (so to speak). Usually sin has a strong relationship with the context "crime" "wrongdoing" "public-convinience violation" etc. Like for example, if we steal someone's property, we then cause its owner's inconvinience. that's why stealing is a crime (to human being). and therefore it's a sin.
Being gay doesnt cause other people incovinience. So it's not a crime. And therefore it's not a sin. That's what most gay people say about being gay.
But then, my question is: "Do we always asociate a crime/wrongdoing to human being with a sin?"
How about crime to God Himself? There are some reasons why He created MAN and WOMAN, FIRE and WATER, BLACK and WHITE, etc. It's His law. By being gay, we has done a crime (to Him) because we break his rules and laws.
But then, these gay people argue again: "Some people were born gay, I was. Scientific research has proven that to be true. If His law is MEN with WOMEN, why did He create MEN who can only be with MEN?"
Well, nobody's perfect. Maybe God create gay people. Some people were also born poor, evil, high-tempered, kleptomaniac, arrogance, jerk, stupid, etc. But do we always accept to be poor, evil, arrogance, kleptomaniac, stupid etc? NO. WE REFUSE. that's what we do, that's what life is all about, FIGHT-EFFORT-STRUGGLE.
dont just say: oh im poor, oh im gay, oh im arrogance, oh im a jerk, oh im stupid. this is my destiny, let me be this way, this is what God wants me to be." This is what losers say. They are too lazy to turn what's bad to good. Dont you think it sounds desperate? Dont you think God hates desperate and lazy people? think!
Many gay-born people have proven they can live the way straight people do. They FOUGHT, THEY REFUSED TO BE GAY, and they got what they diserve. They could get married to oposite sex, they can have biological children. Many bad guys turn good. Many poor people turn rich. many stupid people turn smart. Why? because they FOUGHT, they made efforts, they struggle. they didnt just stand there.

No. Beware of belief systems that call how someone was born a 'sin'. Sin is in the eye of the beholder the same that beauty is.

what is sin? if you define sin as it is in the bible... then you should go to the bible to see if it is sinful.... I'll save you the time, the bible says it's sin. But do whatever you want..... Do you pray and go to church all the time, NO, and that's a sin... So just do what you want. It seems you already are anyways
