Why did god decide homosexuality was wrong?

Question

When God was thinking up all of the littler rules he wanted us to obey, why did he add homosexuality to the list?

And i'm going to anticipate 'homosexuals cannot reproduce" or "If everyone was gay", which is the dumbest thing you could say, considering they CAN reproduce and everyone ISN'T gay. Also, If not being able to reproduce is a sin, then so is being sterile. I guess when my mom got her tubal ligation surgery, she baught a one way ticket to hell. Or when my aunt had to get her tubes tied due to complications at a young age, Is that also a sin? If EVERYONE was sterile....

Also, being gay isnt a choice, just like pedophilia and foot fetish, sexual attraction isnt a choice. Why would someone choose to be attracted to the same sex knowing they would be bashed and oppressed?

Halfadan:

because he was looking out for our health? Yet It says no where in the bible not to smoke.....

enn:

wow, homosexuality comes from being sexualy abused as a child? are you a phychologist? Do you have any sources to this claim? I highly doubt it.

As for your story about abc gum, once again you cant choose who you are sexually attracted to, AND homosexuals catch STDs just like straight people do.

Mezmarelda, I was going to e-mail this to you, but you don't allow e-mails or IM's so here it is:

1 Corinthians 6:9 -- 9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Leviticus 18:22 -- Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.

Romans 1:24-27 -- 24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

Answer 2

Homosexuality isn't wrong. If it were it would be because "it says so in the bible" well I am a Roman catholic, and if I followed every Bible rule I would have sold my sister, killed my uncle who grows more than one crop on his field, etc. The Bible was inspired by God, but it was written by men between 1000 DC -100 AC who didn't know about the human mind. I still laugh at Queers though.

Answer 3

God was not the one who made this decision. This decision is based upon the natural order of this Universe. There is yin (feminine) and yang (masculine). There is dissonance and imbalance when yin and yin or yang and yang attempt to harmonize, but balanced harmony in the fluid movement between yin and yang. It is about natural law.

I do not believe homosexuality is something we are born with. I think it is a learned response. I think it is a deviance from natural law, and that the path is chosen because it is easier to deviate than to face the issues that caused an individual to question their sexuality at the outset. Was it rape? Was it an abusive parent? Was it some horrible trauma that occurred when memory was something barely developed, or was it so traumatic that the memory was wiped out by the conscious mind? Homosexuality is a choice to walk the easy path, rather than the way of the Masters.

I will probably hear a lot about this one . . . but my mind is set on this. I hope if it is your choice that you are content with where you are.

Answer 4

I must have a different bible to everyone else, because no where in my version does it say written by God. Genesis, Corinthians, The Gospels, Revelations? Nope.

It was written and compiled by those who wanted to use it as a form of mind control to keep the population in their place.

Please before anyone says that the bible is the word of God. Look at the council of Nicosia, where it was decided that Christ was divine and that the apocryphal Gospels should be discounted.

If I was you I would not worry what people tell you is Gods word and go find out myself. Start with the piece of the divine which is in us all.

Answer 5

The jews originated that; no religion prior to Judaism had taken any view on homosexuality one way or the other. Thanks to their text being annexed unto ours over the objections of Marcion the idea penetrated Christianity. Catholics make a sharp distinction between constitutional homosexuality and normative homosexuality,which we believe is what is referenced by Paul in his letter to the Romans.

Answer 6

Homosexulity is a sinning agianst your own body...look at it...why do you think God made women and men? There is a natural use of the body when you are with someone of the opposite sex....it is using your body in an unnatural way to try and mate with some one fo the same sex...

And for the record....If God had made Adam and Steve, instead of Adam and Eve..none of us would be here.

Answer 7

He used the same reasoning as He used when He gave us ALL the other "Dos and don't s," It's for our own health and well being.
The bottom line is...
James 2:8-13
8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well; 9 but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For He who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty. 13 For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

Please pay close attention to verse 10. We are ALL "guilty of all" whether it be homosexuality, or not loving the homosexual, or any other sin, which is why we all, homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, transsexual, fertile, barren, shooting blanks, whoever and whatever we are, we ALL need Jesus.

Answer 8

Well, I could kid and say that God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve. Lets just say that our bodies are not designed for that kind of activity. He set us up to be a certain way and that is what He wants. I am trying to keep this from being graphic. But the Bible is very clear on this issue.

And to those who claim to be born "gay" and cannot do anything about it. That was scientifically disproven years ago. I have seen many gays turn their life around.

Answer 9

God made man to provide and love women and women to take care of and love man. it has nothing to do with not being able to produce. and being sterile is not a sin and getting ur tibes tied is not a sin and niether is reproducing. God just has his plan like i said homosexuality is a sin because 2 people of the same sex were not made for each other. and being gay is an option you dont have to kiss or have sex or marry another person of ur sex. its an option and i really dont think people like other people of their sex i think they think they do.

Answer 10

Wow. I'd never suspect a homosexual would be willing to compare himself to a pedophile!

BEING may not be a choice, but ACTIONS are always chosen. And do you have ANY IDEA how much thought and effort went into sexual differentiation? Deliberately putting things where they don't belong is downright disrespectful.

And what kind of engineer would allow his children to play in a waste processing plant anyway???
