Why do some people think being gay is a sin?

Question

First of all, does anyone agree with me that everyone in this world is a sinner. So what makes gays much worse than murderers, rapists, adulterers, terrorists in other people's minds?

Do gay people really hurt anyone like murderers do? Or are they just trying to live their lives?

Like I said, everyone is a sinner, so where do you draw the line of which sins are more accepted?

Answer 1

no, they are not sinners.
they are normal human beings like the rest of us.

those who think gays hurt anyone, are uneducated and ignorant.

Answer 2

Ugh... I LOVE how folks are using this as an opportunity to bash Christianity and show their own stupidity and ignorance in the process. Personally, I don't think it belongs in politics, but I'll answer the questions as best I can, WITHOUT the hate speech I see from so many anti-Christian biggots.

First, yes, according to the Bible, everyone in the world is a sinner.
Romans tells us, "For ALL have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God."

Secondly, no sin is worse than another in God's eyes. But that does not mean all the consequences are equal. The consequences for a simple lie of a child to their parent for example is far different than the consequences due to a murderer or a rapist.

To your second question, it is indeed a hard one. Physical pain? I cannot say that physical pain is necessarily inflicted, and if it is it usually has more to do with some other problem. I DO think there are emotional consequences. No action affects just the individual. Every action we take in life is like throwing a small pebble into a calm pond. It starts in one place, but it spreads out and eventually affects the whole of the pond. So I believe it is with homosexuality, or any other sin.

Personally, I believe no sin should be accepted, from lying, to murder, to sexual immorality of ANY kind, whether it be homosexual OR heterosexual. Those who DO believe certain sins are acceptable, or who believe what is acceptable is dictated by the situation, are practicing a double standard... At least in my mind.

Anyway, I hope this helps. And in case you're wondering, I do not say any of this lightly. I too have several homosexual friends and I have talked this over with them many a time.

Answer 3

Yes, where do you draw the line?
If an action affects someone else (murder, rape, theft, etc), then it is a sin against society.
If it is a personal choice (homosexuality, bestiality, etc), then it is a sin against religion, and everyone knows there are as many religions as there are people, which makes it meaningless.
Not everyone has sinned, because not all of us have violated the "cardinal sins". The rest of us have violated "sins" that have been invented by man to control man. That makes them arbitrary and in my mind, pointless. If I want to covet my neighbor's goat, then so be it. If I steal my neighbor's goat, that's a whole different thing.

Answer 4

I don't have a problem with gays any more than any other sin. I sin, myself. However, I do have a problem with the gay agenda teaching my kindergartner that two gay daddies is just as good as a mommy and a daddy. When they try to force me to accept the sin and even acknowledge that it is okay, then it becomes a problem. Murderers and rapists don't have a coalition trying to bring their agenda into the public schools.

All people deserve equal treatment under the law, but don't try to make me like what you are doing. Just do it and leave me and my family out of it.

Answer 5

All sins are equal in the eyes of the Lord, according to the Bible. Adultery and Fornication are the sin that most refer to with homosexuals. There also comes the references in the Old Testament in the story of Lot and his family, living in Sodom (I forget how to spell the other city, or was the dual name given to a city-state?). Frankly, I could care less, and am straight.

Answer 6

I could now not say that being Gay is a worse sin than different sins. It is a sin. I believe the only factor approximately being an actively homosexual character might be considered as a "worse sin" than say stealing, is that this. If you thieve anything, you probably did it, it is performed. If you kill any one, it is performed. Being actively homosexual (through this, I imply gay intercourse, and many others..) is a steady factor, It could be extra intently in comparison to any one who makes a decision that stealing is OK and maintains to do it with out preventing. Mmm... might be it's extra very similar to any one who makes a decision to "be a participant/playboy" and sleep round up to viable. The most effective factor unique could be that you're now not most effective conducting out of marriage intercourse, however you're conducting a sort of intercourse that many don't forget to be towards the plan of God or anything you desire to name it. I'm definite such a lot of you have got noticeable it known as through many unique matters through a type of devout believers. So you might say it's worse considering that should you have interaction within the way of life, you're committing to anything that's a steady, non-quit sin. Say you are a homosexual guy and also you meet and fall in love with a different homosexual guy. You 'get married' (or anything you want to label it), transfer in in combination, and many others... IF you suppose that homosexuality is a sin, you're in general then in a sinful state one hundred% of the time. You would not have so much of ANY time wherein you're now not actively engaged in that sin. As hostile to stealing, murdering, anything that you could now not be worried with 24/7. Because you are not going to quit loving that character, and many others... Personally, should you suppose that homosexuality is a sin, than I feel the Catholic church's view is the first-class one. The Catechism of the Catholic church talks approximately it in a few paragraphs. 2357 talks approximately how this is a sin and why. 2358 is a paragraph many overlook and I love to submit it whilst this discipline is mentioned. 2358 The quantity of guys and females who've deep-seated gay traits isn't negligible. This inclination, that's objectively disordered, constitutes for such a lot of them a tribulation. They have got to be accredited with admire, compassion, and sensitivity. Every signal of unjust discrimination of their regard will have to be have shyed away from. These folks are known as to meet God's will of their lives and, if they're Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the problems they'll come across from their situation. Notice that bit approximately have each and every signal of unjust discrimination will have to be have shyed away from. So many matters are performed towards them that's improper. I realize a few homosexual contributors. I feel they're all well men and women in each and every opposite direction. I could on no account insult, discrimination or anything towards them for simply their sexual view. Saying "God hates fags", going to funerals, attacking them bodily, bullying them or some thing an identical is WRONG. Those very acts are sins, too. There are different paragraphs, however I'm definite you'll appear them up. You surely understand how to make use of the web if you are viewing this now. :-D

Answer 7

Ignorance, plain and simple. If you're different from everyone else, of course it's wrong. What people seem to forget about is that this nation was founded on religious tolerance because the Puritans were being persecuted in England. What can't people just all get along?

Answer 8

Yes everyone sins. I personally don't think gay people are harming anyone, especially in the way that murderers etc. are. People probably have such hostility towards them by being religious zealots or a deep inner fear of gay people.

Answer 9

They guide themselves by the bible. In Leviticus, there was a line about how being gay was wrong and immoral. However, in that same book there were a lot of rules about human conduct that nobody listens. For example, there was a rule about how women that have their periods are impure. These homophobes chose to listen to that single rule but not the others. You can't reason with them.

Answer 10

calling a group of Queers gay is a misnomer, how can some one so screwed up in the head be gay , Websters says gay is to be happy and enjoyable, also the bible says queers shall be stoned, and by leading others into homosexual behavior is considered one of the worst sins of all , the bible says anyone who shall lead one of my children astray would be better off to have a mill stone tied to his neck and cast into the sea, what do the queers constantly try to do with our young people, kids, no, murder is also a high priority crime and homosexuality should be placed in the same category

Answer 11

Some people are just bound and determined to butt into other people's business. There are some things that are just no one else's concern. I am a straight married man but I have a number of Gay friends and I work for a gay boss. the thing is that my friends are my friend and my boss is my boss. They are good people as opposed to bad people so the rest really doesn't matter.
