Since Homosexuality isn't mentioned in the Ten Commandments, how can a "Christian" claim it as "Sinful"?

Question

If God didn't think it was worth laying down a law about, why do people who worship God, and live by God's Laws feel the need?

Answer 1

Exactly. Now they'll start listing the laws in Leviticus. But I'm betting most eat shellfish, the women do not go off by themselves during their periods (as it says to do in Leviticus), I bet they wear mixed fabrics, which is not allowed... Let the Justifications begin!!!! lol Hypocracy runs rampant among those who are trying to force a certain lifestyle on other people. A lifestyle they refuse to live themselves. Pick and choose which ones they want to fit with what people they don't like, so their idea of Peace can reign supreme.

Honestly, I think they all need to get their own lives and leave everyone elses' alone.

Answer 2

Actually homosexuality is in the "Big 10" as someone has called it.

Consider this. The commandment is Thou shalt not commit adultery. Now in the bible God defines adultery both in general and using specifics. The specific terms are premarital and marital forms of adultery. The premarital form of adultery is fornication. An unmarried person who is having sex outside the bonds of marriage. The marital form is of course adultery itself where a person who is married has sex outside the bonds of marriage. The commandment covers both of these situations.

The bible defines marriage as being a bond between a man and a woman in the eyes of the Lord. If based on that definition neither two men nor two women can get married because marriage is a covenant between a man and a woman then two men or two women, no matter how loving they are to each other, can only engage in sexual relations outside of marriage, which is considered fornication and therefore are breaking the commandment of "Thou shalt not commit adultery."

But also consider this, Jesus said, "You have heard it said before that thou shalt not commit adultery, but I say to you that any one who looks upon another with lust has committed adultery with them already in their hearts." God doesn't just look at our actions and words but He also looks at our thought life, so whether you are straight or gay, if you have ever had lustful thoughts towards someone you are guilty of breaking the law and have committed the sin of adultery.

Answer 3

It is mentioned in the Bible in Leviticus 18:22. God considers it a sin and so do most christians. 2 Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." If we all followed the health principles found in the old testament there would not be as much desease in this world as there is now.

Answer 4

God sure did law down the law about this subject!

In Genesis 19:1-29 the cities of Sodom and Gommorah were destroyed because the people were so wicked. The men of the city wanted to have sex with other men. So God's judgement on the city was to destroy it by raining down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah.

Leviticus 18:22 (speaking to men in Israel) "Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable."

Leviticus 20:13 "If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

Romans 1:26-27 "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their 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 received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."

1 Corinthians 6:9 "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexual offenders...will inhereit the kingdom of God."

1 Corinthians 6:13 "The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body."

1 Timothy 1:8-10 "We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers."

Answer 5

The ten commandments do not address homosexuality as such because they relate to the majority.

Specifically, it is dealt with in Romans, and Corinthians.

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
1st Corinthians 6:9-11

Answer 6

The law is in Leviticus. The Ten Commandments are not the only laws regarding behaviour. In the Christian texts, there is the entirety of Leviticus, which deals with everything from unlawful sexual relations to ceremonial uncleanliness.

Answer 7

The Bible recognises the existence of the Canaanite god Ba'al in numerous places. in actuality that Christian monotheism originated interior the deserts of Egypt which replaced into in the past Polytheist. for this reason the early followers have been on very close shield for the previous impacts. In later cases the Egyptian ideas have been tempered with the ideas of Zoroastrianism with its bi-polar top/incorrect mentality which remains the lynchpin of Christian morality to right away. formerly that it replaced into basic obedience for this reason Commandments, Deuteronomy and so on.

Answer 8

It is not mentioned in the Ten Commandments but it is mentioned in the Bible. And, it is characterized as metaphorical sin attributed to "Anomaly" or "Abnormality." In other words, “it,” itself, its nature was/is not considered as a sin but the devious and unreliable character that distinguishes these kind of individuals, who would commit any sin to satisfy not only the pleasures of the flesh but also to achieve whatever their life goal may be at the expense of others..

That, in a nutshell!

Answer 9

The ans is simple. Homosexuality is abnormal behaviour. It can be considered mentally insane. Its worse then sin of stealing and lieing. The ten commanments is just BASICS of everything. If the boundary of sinss is risen then what do you think man can do. MAN marrying an animal? Does that seems normal behaviour to you?

Answer 10

You cannot take two random statements out of Leviticus completely out of context. It is not all about the way things are written in the Bible, you cannot understand the word of God unless you are close to God.
People say amusingly God made adam and eve not adam and steve, and this is the point, from the beginning, it was man and WOMAN, not man and man, or woman and woman. Sex was made for procreation, the pleasure is just an added bonus. I'm pretty sure men can't have kids, and women cant give birth without sperm. Its the way God made the earth, and homosexuality goes against the way God made us.
