Love the sinner - hate the sin.
You CAN have an opinion...

Besides the Bible {being God's inspired word, and him being the ultimate Judge of what is and isn't a sin...} explicitly stating they are sins; use some logic.
Adultry is breaking a trust. How can dishonesty not be wrong and therefore a sin?
Fornication is fun, but it shows a lack of self-discipline and self-respect for not ony others but yourself. And Hedonism is a definite sin. ie: gluttony, be it food or sex.
Being Gay not only shows disrespect towards traditional societal norms but also counteracts the Human instinct for propiation. And that is being selfish to the extreme against all humanity. Selfish hedonism is an apt description of homosexuality. Therefore a sin.
It would be nice to say that all things deserve tolerance and then nothing would be a sin. Pragmatically that would cause society to totally break down with any type of sexual behavior not being repressed. Child molesters, rapists, and so on. There has to be CERTAIN guidelines. Self respect and respect for others is the basis for deciding the guidelines of what is and isn't a sin. No one likes to be told what they want to do is "wrong". But a rose by any other name is still a rose. And WRONG IS WRONG.
"For God has not given us the spirit of timidity, but of strength, love and discipline." If you are thinking of committing any of these sins...Please have more respect for yourself and the other person. In the long run you will be a better person.

Depends on your religion. If you are raised an old time Bible Belt Southern Christian, then they are all sins. If you are in any mainstream "Once Saved, Always Saved" type church, or a Catholic then they are still sins but you can go ahead and do it anyway...just ask for forgiveness after the act. If you are Muslim/Islamic they are a sin. Don`t know about Buddist or Hindus.
If you are a member of the Lucifearion Lighthouse, a statanist, or belief in no God at all...it may be in your creed to do those things. It may be morally acceptable because there are no morals.
It`s a loaded question because it all depends on the culture and society you are raised in. Some things are acceptable in some religions and are not in others.
I once watched a video of a man being executed for a crime by being impaled on a sharpened pole. This happened in the town square with all the people watching. As horrendous as it was...it is a part of thier religion and culture...just like public hangings were at one time a part of ours.
There is a tribe in South America that worships a Fertility God. They do have a marraige ceremony and the women are passed around the men to insure that they get pregnant. So in thier religion there is no sin of Adultery or Fornication. Homosexuality is not acceptible in thier culture because it does not lead to fertility.

According to Gods's law (which I believe), a sin would be a transgression, and violation to commit adultery, and fornication. In my opinion the act of being gay is not so much the particular person but the lifestyle he chooses to adhere to. I'm not here to debate religion or morality because each one of us has the right to live as a hedon or a saint, but when it concerns my life I do believe all three words in your question are a sin.

The only thing wrong or "sinful" is Adultery. If being gay and fornication is a sin then we'd all be going to hell. =]
I personally think tho whole homsexuality thing being a sin IS THE MOST RETARDED Thing in the world. I`m not gay, or anything but i think love is love.

I think adultery & being gay are sins. The Bible clearly states this. Fornication? If it's in the context of a monogomous marriage, it's not a sin.

Adultry is the only sin out of the three that you listed but I also believe homophobes, sl*ts, and child rapist should be stabbed in the eye!!

Yes, but it's not about what any of us think. We don't have to wonder. If you believe in sin, it is spelled out for you in the Bible.

All are sins. The Bible also says give righteousness judgement.
they are all wrong. Resist the devil and he shall flee.
Our culture must not determine the christian standards.
