What do you think about homosexuals?

Answer 1

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.

Your Accountability to God

The Bible is clear: God does not approve of or condone homosexual practices. He also disapproves of people who “consent with those practicing them.” (Romans 1:32) And “marriage” cannot give homosexuality a cloak of respectability. God’s direction that “marriage be honorable among all” precludes homosexual unions, which he considers DETESTABLE.—Hebrews 13:4.

Still, with God’s help, anyone can learn to “abstain from fornication,” which includes homosexual acts, and “get possession of his own vessel in sanctification and honor.”(1 Thessalonians 4:3, 4)

Answer 2

God does not create a person with homosexual desires. The Bible tells us that a person becomes a homosexual because of sin (Romans 1:24-27), and ultimately because of their own choice. A person may be born with a greater susceptibility to homosexuality, just as people are born with a tendency to violence and other sins. That does not excuse the person choosing to sin by giving into their sinful desires. If a person is born with a greater susceptibility to anger / rage, does that make it right for then to give into those desires? Of course not! The same is true for homosexuality.

Answer 3

That's like asking "What do you think about black people?" back in the 1800's.

They're people just like anyone else. Who they find attractive is none of my business and it shouldn't be anyone elses'. Same thing goes for what they do behind closed doors.

Speaking as an American, I think homosexuals who are born here (or anywhere for that matter) should have the same rights and privileges that heterosexuals do. Sexual orientation should have no barring on anything.

Answer 4

I honestly believe that homosexuality is wrong and i think this because in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 God tells us that homosexuals will not enter into His kingdom and that same verse also says that the sexually immoral,any one that worships idols or is unfaithful in marriage will enter either...however one can turn away from that sin and be saved then that person will become brand new and enter into His glory.......Romans 3:23 says that For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.....hope this answers your question

Answer 5

Well, I never asked for a sexual resume before talking with someone...I know that babies are born with both sexes , often with one seeming to be prominent and later the individual is more like the other in personality.
Hey look folks, there are all types of anomalies in this world. God created them all. Some may be to test our compassion, who knows? If a child is born with both sexes what is so difficult to believe that one could be born of a different persuasion?

Answer 6

I think of them the same way I think of everyone else. If they are a jerk and are mean to me, I'm not going to like them. But if they are friendly and nice to me, then I will like them. A person's sexual preference makes no difference to me, just as their skin color, religion, heritage, etc makes no difference to me. The only thing that is important is how they treat me and other people. If they have a great personality and are a caring person, then I am going to like them. Plain and simple.

Answer 7

I think about homosexuals? I didn't know I did. I really don't. I don't because it has no bearing on my life. I am not one, what they do has no effect on me what so ever, so I guess I don't go around thinking about what is none of my bussiness.

Answer 8

I grew up in San Francisco and have known many gays and lesbians over the years. I don't see what the big deal is. My only problem is with guys who insistently hit on you, no matter how much you tell them you're not interested; I would only guess that this is how it is for women in general.

Answer 9

I think homosexuals have life to live and it does not matter what you and I think there going to who there are once the don't bother me i have nothing to think.[ are you homo] lol.

Answer 10

Very nice people for the most part. ALmost every one i've met has been kind of whiny and self absorbed though. I don't think its right but I don't dislike them or treat them any differently because Jesus wouldn't.
