Do YOU believe homosexuality is a sin?

Question

Please state your opinion.

Answer 1

Yes.

People who are homosexual are just as likely to go to Hell as people who eat Shrimp.

After all, it is what comes out of a person that condemns them, not what goes in.

Answer 2

No

People usually quote Leviticus against homosexuality but I would happily quote it for homosexuality.

Most seem to forget the following passage which states that women who are menstruating must sacrifice two doves for the lord. Probably why sanitary towels come with wings now.

Answer 3

No. If you read the Bible in the original Greek and Hebrew, no where does it say anything against homosexuality. In Romans, Paul is talking about Pederasty, a practice that was widely accepted by Greek and Roman societies, which was basically a form of child prostitution, because the child was often a male, people assume Paul was talking about homosexuality, but in fact he was against child prostitution in general. About Sodom and Gomorrah, their sins is clearly stated as laziness, idol worship, and pride. It has been falsely taught that homosexuality was their sin but this is wrong. People will cite that the men wanted "to know" the angels Lot was hiding. The Hebrew phrase "to know" was used some 900 times in the OT, and only about 30 times does it mean sex. Ezekiel 16:48-50 lists the specific sins of Sodom as pride, plenty, laziness, uncaring for needy, haughty and worshipping idols - which was an abomination - not homosexuality.
The problem is that the Bible has been twisted in translation and by the agendas of powerful people (King James was a joke). People who want to argue that it is a sin really haven't looked at the words in the original context or in the original languages.
The point is, if you want to follow anything, investigate it, ask the hard questions, the Bible says God is a God of love, I find it hard to believe he would condemn any loving couple. I used to think Paul was an asshole, but then I studied the words, it turns out he didn't spew all those hateful things preachers like to tell you. The bible is not in anyway an anti-homo rag. End of story.

Answer 4

First of all, let me state that I do not believe in "sin".

But do I think homosexuality is wrong? NO. If being a homosexual makes someone happy, then let them be. They aren't hurting anyone.

Doesn't the bible say that all sins are equal? Then that means that all of you christians who are pointing fingers at the homosexuals are on the same page as they are. Every single one of you has "sinned" and their "sins" are no worse than yours. I also know that the bible says, "Judge not, lest ye be judged." So before you go accusing others of being wrong, take a good, long, hard look at yourselves. You are just as guilty as they are.
And now all the christians are gonna get mad at me because I've used their own book against them to make a point, which they all know is true.
Tough titty, said the kitty.
It's your rules. Live with it.
The homosexuals aren't trying to make you gay, so get over it. They're just living their lives and doing what makes them happy.
"An' it harm none, do what ye will."
Blessed Be.

Answer 5

Yes it is sin, but let us not forget that it is a forgivable sin. One can continue to pray to do the Lords will and still find themselves gay, even forgiven before they are healed of this. Always pray to do the Lords will and let him heal. Give it to him, and it may take mountains, but let him have it. You may Even remain gay until he decides that you change.

Answer 6

No. I don't even believe in 'sin'. I believe in if you do something unnatural or harmful, it will come back to you. Homosexuality can be just as dangerous as heterosexuality, just different reasons why.

Answer 7

No, I believe a lot of laws dictated by scriptures were based around bigger issues. I believe the trouble with Sodom and Gommorah was that both places were basically an orgy (for lack of a better word). Sexual intimacy is such a fundamental part of human prosperity that neglecting its significance can have devastating effects on society. I have not seen any evidence that homosexuality is a threat to human prosperity. Sodom and Gommorah could probably better relate to prostitution rackets and any other types of sexual abuse.

Answer 8

the commandment thou shalt not covet thy neighbours ***
didnt mean rodger next door

Answer 9

Homosexuality is NOT a sin; it's NOT a choice; it's NOT an illness; it can't be 'cured'.

Nowhere in the Bible is homosexuality IN ITSELF condemned; only *specific* practices, by *specific* people at *specific* places and times are condemned.

Read the book.

Answer 10

Having homosexual desires is not sin. Acting on those desires is sin. In the same way, having a desire to steal something is not sin, but stealing it is. Temptation is not sin. Sin is acting on the temptation. There are many alcoholics who became Christians. They may have the desire to get drunk but they don't do it anymore.

Answer 11

Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

I think homosexual acts do not have all of the elements you need to constitute an act of true love. There is no commitment of any form involved. So basically you're just using your partner for pleasure.
