Why is homosexuality frown upon but not sex outside of marriage for Christians?

Answer 1

They are equally "frowned upon" in Christianity. Unfortunately so many people are having sex outside of marriage today that even some Christians seem to think it is OK to do.

God made sex and marriage to go together. There is a blessing upon the two. People need to understand that sex outside of marriage is only going to end up being hurtful because that's not what God intended for us and it messes up our reality of our relationship.

Homosexuality is not at all what God made us to take part in. A relationship is supposed to be between a man and a woman.. It's God's perfect design. That is why God made Adam and Eve... and why only a man and a woman can bear children together. Homosexuality is also becoming more prominent... people's ideas of Christianity are becoming faded...

God loves us no matter what... but if we choose to live our life living in sin we have to deal with the consequences of this world... And it is becoming a very scary world to live in.

Answer 2

Who told you that? Sex outside of a marriage committment is not any better.
The reason you hear so much about the homosexual thing is because of, well, here is a list to get you to understand why:

1. Next fall, the public school where my 7yr old son attends, want to teach gay sex in
the Health class. These kids do not even understand natural sexual practices yet.

2. Some Churches have dropped the doctrine of their first husband (spiritual - no gender intended) being Jesus Christ, and
adopted a doctrine more soothing to their
own sins. ie; put a Pastor that is living in sin
with a homosexual partner, as the Head of the Church (its not their House, the Church is Gods House).

3. They parade down streets lined with houses that include children at play. They wear see thru womens clothing, and fondle each other, then wave to the crowd. No respect or consideration for children whatsoever.

4. They flaunt and parade their sin down the very streets of the Holy City of Jerusalem
where also our Savior carried his bloody
cross.

The reason that sex outside of marriage is also a sin, is simply because when there is no lifetime committment, you have mothers who end up trying to raise a child or children on her own. A child requires the balance that a natural family would provide; the proper male role model, and the proper female role model: we call them "mom" and
"dad".

However, today, they have simply remedied
that need by giving out birth control pills;
but thats not good enough, no, woman still have unwanted pregnancies and so they
simply take off a day of work and visit the good 'ol neighborhood abortion center.

When it was realized that we could simply
do away with these unwanted pregancies, it opened up a whole new era for us: now,
we can have sex all we want, its sort of like
a "carte blanche" to do whatever feels good, with no consequence of pregnancy.
Unfortunately, along with it came "throw away relationships". If you don't agree with your partner, just dump him.
Back when women had four,five, six kids that wasn't possible - then you would both
sit the hell down and work your problems out, because there were kids involved that would be hurt terribly by the split.
Then as time went on, it became less and less important what was best for the children; now, a mother dumps the kid into the hands of a daycare center, and goes on about her life.
People actually are deluded enough to think thats okay - the kid is "fine". Well, actually
the kid as they reach jr high find themselves
coming off the school bus to an empty house. They raise themselves, with the help
of God knows what buddies they have teamed up with. No guidance, no supervision, no mom, no dad. Then everyone opens their mouths in great surprize when a kid shows up at school and shoots up the classroom.
Welcome to the new world, where selfish adults do whatever feels good in their panties, and the children suffer terribly for
it.

Answer 3

I agree with you partly.
Sex outside of marriage is rampant in the church. If you read the book of 1st Corinthians, you will find answers about the presence of homosexuality, adultery and fornication within and outside of the so-called church... The Corinthians were a very pagan society- a huge temple to Aphrodite on it's highest hill; renewing their minds to the holiness expected of God's people did not come easily- the Apostle Paul was very harsh with the Corinthians- it was expected that fornicators would be put out of the church- this is not practiced today, only in fundamentalist churches.
I don't see homosexuality as differing at all from the sin of fornication.. I think the "that is sooo much more evil" mentality is total hypocrisy. As much as I love any believer or unbeliever who has sin in their lives, I love homosexuals... and I pray we can all strive and encourage each other to live more godly lives, for the sake of fighting against anarchy and bringing a right witness to God.

Answer 4

Sex outside of marriage is frowned upon, and considered a sin for Christians. It's just that some people who call themselves Christians participate anyways. If a Christian participates in sex outside of marriage it's a sin. However, Jesus forgives our sin. It doesn't effect our salvation, however it does tarnish the image of Christianity, the same as Christians who smoke, drink, curse, etc. and it effects our ability to effectively evangelize.

Answer 5

Some groups still ex-communicate for sex outside marriage. It depends on the denomination.

Also some don't frown on homosexuality.

Answer 6

I don't know too many people who would be happy to hear that their spouse was having relations outside their marriage. Not all Christians frown on homosexuality when many are in the clergy already.

Answer 7

I believe you are not reading the bible completely, sex that is not for reproduction is a sin. Not a mortal one but it is wrong. Now the bible says that to plant your seed in the belly of a whore, is better letting fall on the ground. So use tissues, the problem with most books considered holy can be interpreted in many different ways. Peaceful, warlike, good, bad, so you must read carefully and think deeply. The best you can do is, do no harm.

Answer 8

Sex outside of marriage for Christians is a sin just like homosexuality is. For them to say otherwise is a lie against God and what he accepts as proper conduct.
Sex is to be between a man and women after marriage.
But i definitely believe in birth control.

Answer 9

Homosexuality is frowned upon in general in the fundamentalist/orthodox sects of most of the main religions.

Answer 10

Because people make mistakes, even Christians. Both homosexuality and fornication are sin. Neither is worse than the other. Sin is sin.

It's sad that Christians have become so much a part of this world that they compromise and water down the gospel in order to make it more acceptable to the world.
