i don't understand why homosexuality is a sin?

Question

when God made homosexuals? if he made everyone, then why is it a sin to be the way he obviously wanted you to be? my boyfriend says that he thinks its a test, to see who is true to God and who's looking behind just a book, but looking into the true message of what God wants, and God wants to see the true Christians are. he thinks the true Christians are the ones that do not do crimes out of hate against homosexuals, but embrace them like the real people that they are. what do you think?


+if you do not believe in God, please don't answer. I want a Christian's view, no offense.

Answer 1

Your logic is flawed. If a god really existed then he would also have made child rapists, and I'm sure we don't think *that's* OK, do we? Homosexuality is morally neutral, and it has nothing to do with religious mythology.

Answer 2

Being homosexual is NOT a sin. God DID create all people. Comparing homosexuals to a rapist is stupidity at it's worse! Homosexuality is actually a part of 'gods' plan and if you don't like it move on...or if you feel better for your fears then bash me I could care less.

First off I am not gay, not bi , not a lesbian. I am an Ordained Reverand. Fact is scientific at it's best and here goes! (Oh, and if you have half a brain you'll actually read the words BEFORE you create your pithy little retorts!)

God's plan has been: go forth and multiply....
Too much of that has led to over population. In the animal world (which god also created! ) when there is an over population occurance the species gives birth to 'homosexual' babies. Therefore no more are born for awhile.... Think about the human population.

God is actually smater than you give credit to....you don't think that for one second if god had a problem he would smite down upon us with the hand of his own?....hmmmmm

God is about love, tolerance, faith and belief. NOT hate (in any form) That includes hate created from fear or misunderstanding.

As for you the "Asker"? Your boyfriend is VERY smart. Listen to him. Just because your in love with someone who is of the same sex as you...does not in any way make you less of a real person.

People spend too much of their time hiding behind the bible and hating....deciphering whatever they can into a hate. It saddens me to see this...for those are the ones who are misguided in their beliefs and use god as a weapon rather than as the father of the entire world....straight or gay. Black or white....

The true sadness lies in the fact that once people as a whole find peace within themselves to see you as normal, real people...they will find someone else to hate.....

And me? I'm not sleeping in your bedroom! lol So I don't care....and as long as you have found love you're okay in God's eyes. After all you are his son too!

And that blurb about what is written in the king james version of the bible? THAT IS KING JAMES VERSION!!!!!! Duh

King James decided that there were things in the bible he did NOT like so had them omitted! And had other things written into it that he decided to be true
After all he WAS the King and could do what he wanted to do!

Answer 3

I feel that God has all our lives planned out before we are concieved, everything about us is predisposed before we are born, Our likes dislikes, hair color, breast size and all the things that makes each and every one of us the indvidual that we are, and yes,, I am a firm believer in the Good Lord above,, I have a brother that is a pastor, and I am a crossdresser, but just because I wear things meant for females that doesnt make me any less of a christian,

Answer 4

I am a straight male, i can tell you I do not understand, gay men's attraction for other males, however If i am to be completely honest, had I been born a female, then there is no doubt that I would be a lesbian, no doubt in my mind. There fore I don't judge people based on the sexual preference, or gender, race. I try and judge them on there deeds and efforts. If they are to be judged on other things, let God judge them..I am not equipped too.

Answer 5

GOD MADE ALL PEOPLE AND ALL THINGS BUT HE DID NOT MAKE US ROBOTS WE ARE FREE TO CHOOSE WHICH MEANS BECAUSE WE CAN CHOOSE WE MAY NOT ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING WE CAN MAKE THE WRONG CHOICE GOD LOVES SINNERS BUT HATES THE SIN BEING A HOMOSEXUAL IS NOT THE ONLY SIN PEOPLE CHOOSE TO KILL OR BE DRUNKS OR DRUG ADDICTS OR LIARS OR COMMIT ADULTERY OR STEALING TO GOD ALL SIN IS SIN.HOWEVER GOD HAS SPECIFICALLY STATED HIS VIEWS ON HOMOSEXUALITY AS AN ABOMINATION.PLEASE READ THE BIBLE KJV VERSION AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF.GOOD LUCK.

Answer 6

hi girl, first, god did now make homosexuals, cause look at how he started life, he made Adam but Adam was lonely so God made eve to be wit him. and that's how life suppose to be. but the world got corrupt. now homosexuality is a spirit you r not born wit it is a spirit. and spirits do leap on people. (recall the story in Luke about the 7 people that tried to cast out them demon/spirits out a man. and the spirits in the man rose up and said ``Jesus we know and Paul we know but who r you`` and them spirits leap on them and whoop them out their clothes) so it like that spirits leap on people. so all those that r gay they ain't really gay. talk to some of them. they will tell you ``man i don't know y I'm doing this, or they may be praying and crying to God for help every night people really don't want to be this way cause God have not created us for this kind of activity. think this how ever vowled that you would never ... lets say steal but you was always hanging wit someone that aways stole. then one you found your self stealing well it was that spirit that was in them that leaped on you. think bout it. so in a nut shell what ever you hang wit a long time that's what a person will in up doing. so just be careful and pray. and live life dawg 1

Answer 7

First of all, I do not accept your premise.

God does not make homosexuals. He also doesn't make alcoholics, diabetics, hemophiliacs, or mentally retarded individuals. All of these issues are a result of Satan and sin in the world. Go to the New Testament, the book of St. John, chapter 9 verse 3. The disciples want to know why a man was born blind. They thought that either his parents had sinned or he had sinned in his mother' womb. Jesus, as usual, puts everything in the proper perspective when He says "Neither this man nor his parents sinned. This happened so that the works of God might be revealed in him."

God did not want him to be born blind. God wanted him to be able to see the world around him and be a good, productive servant. Satan laughed at God for years because he had managed to steal the man's sight. The man chose to believe Jesus. He followed His instructions. God was glorified because he chose to act on his faith, and he chose to witness to the people that Jesus had changed his life.

The acts of homosexual intercourse are forbidden because they mock the heterosexual intercourse that God created. You have to understand the Blood Covenant in order to understand the importance of hetersexual intercourse. That is much too deep to get into here.

Most homosexuals assume that God made them gay because they can't remember a time when they did not have these desires. How foolish of them to make that claim based on factors and influences they do not understand. The alcoholic wants alcohol; the glutton wants food; the drug addict wants his drug of choice. Each one, including the homosexual AND the heterosexual, have the option of accepting their desire as real and yet choosing to live their lives according to God's Word.

Answer 8

i believe that God did make everybody, and that homosexuality is okay. he did make everybody, and we are supposed to give ourselves to god to do what he wishes with them. if he didn't wish certain people on be gay, bi, straight, etc. etc. then they wouldn't.

i also believe however, that believing in God is a personal decision. i am the only person in my family who goes to any sort of church (i go to a youth group on wednesdays at a christian church, but not to sunday service) but my intermediate family never has.

but yes, i believe God makes people who they are, and only he can judge them on their life, i believe that he looks more past what kind of sin they committed, because everyone is a sinner, and looks to how they treated those they loved, and their faith. if people have faith in God to make them who they are, and not to hurt them, then they'd realize that being gay or bi etc etc was His choice.

Answer 9

Simply because it isn't a sin. The others have given good explanations, so I'm just reenforcing their point -- homosexuality is NOT a sin

Answer 10

I am lesbian, and I am Christian. and I was raised being taught that God created and loves us all! those who "claim" to be Christian, but pass judgment against others and preach hatred and intolerance....using religion to justify their bigotry.....they are not "true" Christians. I was also taught that Christianity is about love and acceptance.
