People are “gay,” then, because that is what they want. As the Bible says, it is “in keeping with the desires of their hearts.” Therefore, the Bible’s condemnation of this practice is justified when it says that both male and female homosexuals receive “in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error”; they “will not inherit God’s kingdom.”—Rom. 1:24-27; 1 Cor. 6:9, 10.
Rom 1:24-27Therefore God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, that their bodies might be dishonored among them, 25 even those who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and venerated and rendered sacred service to the creation rather than the One who created, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; 27 and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error.

Yeah, read the Romans chapters mentioned before, it makes it pretty clear:
Romans 1:26-27: "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence [sic] of their error which was meet."
This shows being homosexual is perversion.
Also, in Genesis (1,2), God made man and woman to be made for each other and to be "one" through marraige/union. This is how he created the human race, and he saw this as "good". He did not want the "perversion" mentioned before.
Later in Genesis (18,19), in the passage about Abraham's nephew Lot, who lived in Sodom and Gommorah, God wanted to destroy the city because it was full of sin. This is shown when two angels visit Lot to escape the destruction, but all of the men of the city go to Lot's house demanding to have sex with the two visitors "They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
Sodom was the most wicked city of the time, that's why God destroyed with sulfur, etc so unmercilessly
Oh yeah, being overweight is not because she's sinful. Everyone's a sinner. Even Apostle Paul said something like he was the worst sinner. Being a little overweight is just a trait of hers. But I think if there's uncontrollable gluttony, or binge eating, there's something wrong

You have a reading problem.
The sin is gluttony, not obesity. Gluttony is the abusive eating for pleasures sake to the point of harming ones self or beyond what is necessary for maintaining the body.
God did not say " people shalt not be happy", but Paul wrote to the Romans "And in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts toward one another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error." Romans I, verse 27

Well God says it, you can find that in the book of Leviticus, but it wasnt just some random rule that an 'old jew' would put in place, but it has meaning and substance behind it. Having to do with how man and woman together symbolize the Image of God and the relationship within the God Head. Homosexuality pretty much screws with Gods original order for things (something sin is wonderful at) and denys the image of God thing. And as far as I know behind fat is not a sin, however gluttony is.

interior the Bible, it states that any sexual act performed for any reason different than procreation (intentional being pregnant) is seen fornication and is a sin interior the eyes of God. in view that gay acts can never bring about being pregnant, they're by utilising default a sin. consequently, being gay or lesbian is sinful. a minimum of by utilising Biblical standards. individually, i do no longer care, see you later because it is saved inner maximum.

9 What! Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men, 10 nor thieves, nor greedy persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit God’s kingdom. 11 And yet that is what some of YOU were. But YOU have been washed clean, but YOU have been sanctified, but YOU have been declared righteous in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the spirit of our God.
the apostle Paul wrote the above quoted words @1 Corinthians 6:9-11. he showed that their conduct was unacceptable but that they could change & be washed clean

GOD says this. We are all imperfect; only GOD is perfect. To GOD, sin is sin - all sins/errors equal. Only us humans like to give verying degrees to sin making one sin greater than the next.

Read Romans. It is clear in The Word of God that homosexuality is sinful in the sight of God.

Doesn't also say that your supposed to love your neighbor? So contradicting. Ya, gluttony is a sin, but sometimes it can't be helped, so i don't think she should be considered "sinful".
