This question is basically for the self-rightous, condeming -Christians (?) who feel so free to judge others. Which of the seven deadly have they committed. Just food for self examination and motivation for asking for forgiveness.

For those who have answered thus far:
1) It is in the same Bible you use..I've already referenced JOB Chapter 31 but you prefer to pick and choose what you WANT to accept.
2) Yes, lust is among the seven deadly but this includes lust among straight people, lust for money or power. Lust is lust and cannot be numbered which lust is worse.
It really disturbs me that so many Christians must find themselves superior to others, judge others and not look into their own hearts and lives.

I would consider that Lust. But as a Christian, it is not my place to judge others. Christ said to "love thine enemy" and to "love thy neighbor as thyself". I take this to mean that we are to love everyone regardless of their lifestyle. I choose not to live in such a manner, but I understand that others do and it is their choice (or not, depending on how you view homosexuality). And if we have anything in this country, it is the right to choose how to live our own lives. I am not perfect and didn't Christ also say, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."? It is not my place...

Seven deadly sins was a tactic used a long long long time ago to produce income into the church[not going to mention what church] just like purgatory.. Homosexuality is a personal choice that I don't condone BUT I'm not God so it's not for me to say right or wrong, quite frankly it's none of my or anyone else's business what two consenting adults do... Only God can judge so lest someone is free of sin then throw down the stones!!! Peace be with you all your days..

The Seven Deadly Sins aren't in the Bible. It's some Medival tactics.
But homosexuality would fall under lust, no questions.
ADD: I'm not a hater, I am actually gay, but adultery and premarital sex fall under lust.
ALSO: Self-Righteous Condemning Christians fall under Pride and Wrath (Anger)...The Bible is very clear on who the judgement is reserved for...(GOD)..."Let he without sin throw the first stone."!

Homosexuality is a sin...that is not judging, that is God's truth. ALL sin is deadly...is this concept hard to comprehend? Where is the specific sin listed? Before, during, and after God vaporized a couple cities for their sin of homosexual wickedness. It was certainly deadly for them back then as will it be for them today. God said he would give them over to a debased mind and He has done that.

Lust. Unless your married thinking of anything sexual is a sin including homosexuality.

HMMMM... Let's see
1 Lust
2 Gluttony
3 Greed/Avarice
4 Sloth/Laziness
5 Wrath
6 Envy
7 Pride/Hubris
For the life of me, I can't find homosexuality in that list...

there's no such thing as the seven deadly sins. they were created so that people would be forced to confess to the catholic priests all the naughty things they had been doing, thereby giving priests incredible amounts of control over the population.

i wonder why you can't find it in that list? oh wait, because it's not there!! I get it!!! Homosexuality is not a choice, and it is just as wrong for me to have sex with a woman out of wedlock as for me to have sex with a man out of wedlock.
pwned.
