Question

Why do some people think being gay is a sin?
Hi my friends.I'm a Moslem from Iran. I would say gay people are not born that way.Their environment has caused them to be attracted to the same sex as theirs.So first of all people need to know that being gay is not a sin, nor it is evil.And also it's not a mental illness.It's the way you feel.It's The way you fulfil your sexual needs.There's absolutely nothing you could do to change your feelingsA feeling is not a sin.My best friend is a gay because he hadn't visited many men when he was a child.And he's a very good and kind person,very clever and honest.So being gay is not a sin by itself.The way you choose to fulfil your sexual needs determins wether you commit sins or not.Gay people must agree that in God's law gay-marriage and sexual affairs between men is a mortal sin.But this rule goes for heterosexual people too when they tend to commit evil deeds such as pre-marriage sex.It's against God's law and a mortal sin.But unfortunately some people think because their government allows them to do so it's OK while it's not in God's law.I think no one has the right to hate gay people because they haven't chosen to be that way.Gay people are just like hetrosexual people as long as they don't commit sins.In my mind some heterosexul people must be blamed for the way they choose to fulfil their needs such as pre-marriage sex.So you'll go to heaven if you live honestly and not to let your sexual feelings to control you and make you commit sins.Please don't tell me it's a sin because Bible says so.Quran says only affairs between men are sinful not the way you feel or think.God will judge you according to your actions not your feelings or your thoughts.If you think gay people can change please for just one minute try to be homosexual if you're not.It's impossible.Thanks.

Answer 1

God doesn't forbid "feelings". He forbids sin. Merely suffering from a psychosocial disorder is not sinful; however, if because of that disorder you are tempted to engage in ungodly acts which God has specifically forbidden, you have the responsibility to resist such temptation and to pray for the grace to do so. This is not unique to homosexual persons. Unmarried heterosexual persons have the same responsibility before God.

Answer 2

In your case it may not matter because you have reject the payment for your sins that the Lord Jesus Christ made on the cross. John 3: 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. There is no animal on the earth that don't know what sex it is but the human because he know right from wrong not only sins against God but sins against nature. Romans 1: 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Romans 1: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. Romans 1: 26 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: Romans 1: 27 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: 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Answer 3

"Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies. They xechanged the truth of God for a lie, and worship and served created things rather than the Creator- who is forever praised, Amen. Because of this God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. men committed indecent acts with other men and recieved in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.( Romans 1:24-27) You are no "Moslem" from Iran, what you are is an insault. You shouldn't say things with out doing your homework.

In the two previous testomony and New testomony God tells us that adult adult males are to no longer lay with different adult adult males the way adult adult males and girls are laying at the same time and the comparable applies to women. this is an abomination to God. God set up the way toddlers are to be conceived. the only people who bypass to hell are people who do no longer settle for God's way of getting to heaven. and that's thru accepting Jesus Christ as own Savior. Being gay isn't the sin. appearing on the gayness is. The 'act of'. we are to love the Lord our God with our heart, ideas, soul - and if we like Him we are going to decide to do what pleases Him. So - as quickly as all of us understand a undeniable interest isn't beautiful Him - we could desire to continually refrain from doing it. this is the continual lifestyle conduct that we are advised to no longer take part in and we pick to proceed wherein are a demonstration that our heart isn't the place it may very well be. human beings could have close friendships with human beings of the two sexes and be completely interior of Godly policies. this is as quickly as we go the line into intimate physicalness that we are in hassle. And all of us understand the place / while it somewhat is approximately to take place. we are in a position to talk to God approximately our desires for the different individual and ask Him for the flexibility to decline to temptation. And while the friendship could could desire to end. And we are in a position to talk with the different individual approximately the place the line ought to be drawn in the friendship. And we are in a position to end rationalizing approximately sin being sin and what human beings's critiques are. this is God's opinion that could desire to be maximum serious. And there Are effects as quickly as we purposely do issues that all of us understand are incorrect. And society says that once 2 consenting adults decide to 'be at the same time' this is not any one's corporation what's taking place at the back of closed doors. this is while human beings pick to tutor their 'togetherness' in public that different's develop into attentive to them. as far as i'm worried - human beings ought to stay of their closets of intimacy. maximum individuals do no longer decide to appreciate.

Answer 5

Because the New Testament says homosexual acts are a sin.

Read Romans chp1.verse 24

Their is no doubt that it is a sin according to Christian teachings.
Saying what the Scriptures say is not hate. Hate would be calling for violence or something. Telling people what is clearly taught is something else.

Answer 6

This is a long question! Feelings can be sins. The Bible says that you shouldn't covet (a feeling), commit adultery (stated in the Bible as even thinking about commiting adultery with someone, which is a thought/feeling). I won't debate homosexuality with you, as it is rather complicated, but you are wrong when you say that "a feeling is not a sin".

Answer 8

having a homosexual relationship is a choice. You can say no. Your mind is a great work of art, and anything you concentrate on you are going to say it's ok. It's a matter of self-control.
