Why is it that some churches believe on Homosexuality and others don't?Did Jesus really thaught homosexuality?

Answer 1

Good question. Those churches who accept homosexuality are part of the false religion. That's the only explanation.

DURING the church ceremony, the two men stand hand in hand before a renowned Episcopal bishop. They make a “covenant . . . before God and the church.” Clothed in ornate gold-and-white vestments, the bishop publicly blesses their union. Afterward the couple hug and kiss and are given a standing ovation. According to this bishop, such homosexual relationships “are holy and deserve to be blessed, . . . deserve to be called what they are: sacred.”

However, other religious leaders voice strong opposition to same-sex unions. “We are so disturbed by this [bishop’s] decision,” stated Cynthia Brust, spokesperson for the American Anglican Council, a group of conservative Episcopalians. “Same-sex blessings contradict the clear teaching on marriage and sexuality from the Bible,” she said, adding that “sexuality . . . is to be confined to a man and woman in holy matrimony.”

The fire storm of controversy over this issue is not restricted to religion. Internationally, heated political debates are raging, since the social, political, and economic implications involving pensions, joint health care, and taxes are great.

Our Creator Sets the Standard
Our Creator established rules governing marriage long before governments began regulating the institution. The opening book of the Bible tells us: “A man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:24) The Hebrew word “wife,” according to Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words, “connotes one who is a female human being.” Jesus confirmed that those yoked together in marriage should be “male and female.”—Matthew 19:4.

Thus, God intended marriage to be a permanent and an intimate bond between a man and a woman. Men and women are designed to complement each other so they may be capable of satisfying each other’s emotional, spiritual, and sexual needs and desires.

The well-known Biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah reveals God’s feelings about homosexuality. God declared: “The cry of complaint about Sodom and Gomorrah, yes, it is loud, and their sin, yes, it is very heavy.” (Genesis 18:20) The extent of their sinful depravity at that time was apparent when two guests visited the righteous man Lot. “The men of Sodom . . . surrounded the house, from boy to old man, all the people in one mob. And they kept calling out to Lot and saying to him: ‘Where are the men who came in to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have intercourse with them.’” (Genesis 19:4, 5) The Bible says: “The men of Sodom were bad and were gross sinners against Jehovah.”—Genesis 13:13.

The men became “violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males.” (Romans 1:27) They had “gone out after flesh for unnatural use.” (Jude 7) In countries where homosexual rights campaigns are pervasive, some may object to using the word “unnatural” to describe homosexual behavior. However, is not God the final arbiter when it comes to nature? He commanded his ancient people: “You must not lie down with a male the same as you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable thing.”— Leviticus 18:22.

Answer 2

Different Christian religious sects approach the Bible differently. Many of the quotes against homosexuality are derived from the Old Testament and most Christians hold that Jesus made a new covenant overriding many/most OT laws. I mean the OT says parents should be allowed to stone disobedient children to death but no Christian today thinks that is a valid treatment. In the New Testament most of the scriptures interpreted against homosexuality have two arguments that can be made on religious grounds. First, interpretation in the context of the times. Some have argued that the passages refer to nonconsensual behavior and boyhood forced prostitution if you place them in context. Second, Paul wrote the NT passages against homosexuality and he never claims to have known Jesus but to be writing from divine revelation. Thus, how do we know he really knew Jesus's thoughts on this. The Bible also gives directions for when it is okay to beat your slaves and selling your daughter. We know now that these things are never okay. We also understand more about how sexuality is not something chosen but part of who you are that is probably influenced by your genetic makeup. More liberal churches accept that Bible while providing guidelines for human behavior is not the bottom line in dictating behavior and that humans understanding has continued to evolve.

Leviticus 18:22 Revelation 21:8

Answer 4

Directly there's not anything written that Jesus mentioned towards homosexuals. Jesus confronted many types of sinners began from thieves even from overtaxing to adultery. His last phrase was once continuously "sin not more" or no less than see that you simply do your excellent to not sin and whilst you sin flip to God instantly. Jesus not ever categorised sins, they're al sins, that means that they move towards the Law of God. So thieves, liars, adulteries,and many others and so fortress are all sinners. Homosexuality, or the truth that a character feels that he's extra drawn to his/her equal intercourse is not any sin. It is the act of homosexuality that's a sin. Even married persons can sin. If one is married he /she nonetheless has to comply with designated laws of ways they appear on the act. One need to now not be egoistic for illustration,or else that might now not be love in any respect. Or flip love into lust. Sodom and Gomorrah have been acknowledged through Jesus whilst He mentioned that they might be judged lighter than..... Sodom and Gomorrah sins are identified to were all varieties of sins towards nature even which regards to intercourse. In Romans and the others , the train of homosexuality and others involving it have been the order of the day and was once being the wreck of society itself, behaving worse than animals. What greater scolding would one count on that their complete condemnation.

Answer 5

I don't know what "thaught" means, but Jesus never condemned homosexuality. He did condemn divorce, however, so those churches need to close their doors to the divorced people of the world if they're going to close their doors to the homosexuals.

Answer 6

Jesus didn't say one single word on the subject. Oh, and for those listing all the passages that supposedly condemn homosexuality and homosexuals... they don't know their scripture as well as they should. The Bible does NOT condemn homosexuals and does NOT consider homosexual sex a sin.

The passages in Leviticus (18:22 and 20:13), understood IN THE CONTEXT of the time and place, are not an admonishment against loving sexual relationships between people of the same sex but instead against sex as a form of domination and control. Besides, these passages are part of the Holiness Code which is not binding to modern day Christians (or anyone else for that matter).

The story of Sodom and Gomorrah was a warning against rape, inhospitality and xenophobia. The reason for Sodom's destruction is made clear in Ezekiel 16:48-50. According to Ezekiel, the sins of Sodom were pride, laziness, being inhospitable, neglecting the needs of the poor, greed, and idolatry (the worshiping of idols). Nothing about homosexuality is mentioned. If Jude 1:7 describes anything about the sexual immorality and perversion in Sodom and Gomorrah, it's describing RAPE.

1 Corinthians 6:9 was a mistranslation of the word "malakee". It's used elsewhere in the Bible to mean someone who lacks discipline or one who is morally weak, and never is it used in reference to sexuality or gender.

1 Timothy 1:9-10? Also a mistranslation. 1 Timothy was an admonishment against male prostitution, not committed, loving same sex relationships.

The words "physin" and "paraphysin" in Romans 1:26-27 have also been mistranslated. Contrary to popular belief, the word "paraphysin" does not mean "to go against the laws of nature", but rather implies action which is uncharacteristic for that particular person. An example of the word "paraphysin" is used in Romans 11:24, where God acts in an uncharacteristic (paraphysin) way to accept the Gentiles. When the scripture is understood correctly, it implies that it would be unnatural for heterosexuals to live as homosexuals and for homosexuals to live as heterosexuals.

Answer 7

Homosexuality is one of the subjects that most christians will go back to the OT about. Generally, they don't like to use the OT and say that it no longer applies, but it's always quoted when discussing homosexuality.

Answer 8

Jesus said nothing about homosexuality in the New Testament. Some churches have no problem with homosexuality. Some churches have openly gay or lesbian pastors. They are considered progressive and liberal in their ideas and concepts of Christianity. I call them sensible and non-bigoted myself. Have a great day!

Answer 9

churches are carnel(man made)and we make the church meaning that it was made by man although some do teach their own philosophy they have no right to teach anything but bible so their beliefs are not in the spirit,all good things come from God the bible is truth and that is our blueprint for life

Answer 10

I never heard of any church believing like that! No, Jesus never taught that! It will tell you this in the Bible!
