If the bible tomorrow said that being gay was right and being straight was wrong would you change. If God changed the bible himself and tested you like he tested many people in the bible. If he wanted to make sure, you were not just a hypocrite. Would you change your lifestyle? Would you be ok with never being with someone of the opposite sex?

The bible says thou shall not kill but God told Abraham to kill his son and he was about to do it.

As long as you are coming up with imaginary things to think about why not post the numbers to the Power-ball lottery. The odds of you winning that are much better then what you are asking about.

First, the Bible did not say it is wrong to be gay. Soddom and Gommorah is not about God against homosexaulity; it is about abuse of human power and strength. Man's strength against the weak. Like what is common inside the jails. Both weak men and women are subjects to the abuse of strongrer ones. In the time of Moses, it was against the law for man to sleep with man because they are building up a large community and only a man and a woman could do that. Aside from the fact that since they were always at war (up to now), they keep losing their men in the battlefield. So, they have to continue building up a community as many as the stars in heaven. Another nature's point is that you are created for the purpose and it's defying the law of nature and the only way to propagate is to have two diffenent sexes making it unless you are a hermaprodite. Being gay at this time is also Biblical if you read Jeremiah's account about a time when woman shall sorround a man. It is not just a woman leading the world it is also about the woman wrapped in a man's body.

Let's say God would for some divine reason want to test our obedience to him by saying being gay was the right, moral thing to do. I guess I would be obliged to follow God's word. However, this is not only impossible, but immoral in itself. Being gay makes it impossible to reproduce without somehow acknowledging the natural, straight sexual relations. In other words, if everyone obeyed God and went gay, we as a race would be committing suicide, something so deeply ingrained in our minds that we cannot do it. Gayness though in that case has a purpose to alert humanity to the fact that we have become stagnant in maintaining our race and must wake up from this complacency. This idea comes from Nietzsche. Both good and evil have a purpose. Back to the q, basically, God would have made an unreasonable command with regards to the way he built us, so while I'd obey it, it would be against the qualities of God, the all-knowing, to make such a mistake akin to asking a human to fly (not with a plane or invention). Overall, while inside I would not be OK instinctually with not being with a woman, if God willed it, I would follow; however, I rest soundly in the fact that this sort of thing will never be.

the Bible says that God is the same "yesterday, today and tomorrow," so don't plan on him changing His Word.
However, If what you suggested were to happen, it would bring on the end of the world, bc then there would be no more procreation.
Stop being mad at God for your lifestyle choice. He didn't make you that way. He says it's wrong- you decide if you follow Him or not.
Good luck.

I don't care what you say-gay is wrong and I don't think it's right no matter what the Bible says or does not say. We were put on this earth to be with the opposite sex and that's what is right. Being with the same sex is wrong and whether it's right or wrong,I still prefer women because I am a man. Sticking my private part into some dude's a$$ does not have any appeal for me. It stinks and there's no way around that,is there? And it's wrong.

That will never happen. God made the rules for us to follow to enjoy his grace and blessings. God will never allow homosexuality not be a sin. He created man and woman to be married and be fruitful. If he changed, he would have to apologize to the wicked citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah. Homosexuality has been and will always be a abomination to God. He is always right even when some of our man-made laws go against the Bible.
God does not change,he is the same from the beginning of time until now.

If God said "Judge not lest ye be judged." or "He among you who is without sin, cast the first stone." or "none are righteous, no, not one all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Or "To God, a murderer is as guilty as a liar."
Would you suddenly rethink your line of questioning and get off the subject? quietly tip toe off into the sunset so as not to look totally ignorant depending on your reasons for asking this to begin with? To either judge gay people and or christian people?
Do you really think you are so much better than either group considering?
Oh and by the way... God did say all of the above. Just so you know?
Just in case you didn't know what you were talking about or something.
and of course you'll say; this was "Just a hypothetical question and meant nothing."
Well then you should have said just that...
Too late to back track and deny... Ya busted!

I wouldn't become gay quite simply because I enjoy heterosexual sex far too much and am not attracted at all to homosexual sex. I also am way more than OK with other people being gay and honestly couldn't care less what the bible or any religious group tells me is right or wrong. I believe that people have the right to enjoy whatever they enjoy doing in life (having homosexual sex, eating pineapples, etc) as long as they do it alone or with somebody that also enjoys that activity. I think that it is just plain silly and narrow-minded that people judge somebody else's sexuality regardless of what any religious scripture says. In my opinion, if a god was responsible for creating the universe that we live in, he/she/it would be such a powerful being that it simply does not make sense that he/she/it would be as stupidly narrow minded as the followers of religions that ostracize gay people in our modern day world are.

Very good.
People say that right and wrong come from god.
If that were the case, then he could change them at will.
No?
He can't?
Then right and wrong exist independent of god. We don't need him as a middle man.

God told Abraham to kill Issac, then stopped him at the last moment.

If God kept the bible just as it is, would gay people really let that make a difference in their lives? People do what they want to do. Thank God I choose to do my best to try to live His will and not against it.

No, because the Bible was written by man, not God, and changed many times during the centuries to control people and keep them in the dark.
If this was not so, why are there so many different religions and cults, sects, & schisms within each?
