There is nothing in the original texts of the Bible that says that being homosexual is a sin.
The verses that are commonly used to claim that it is, are deliberate mistranslations, to suit the sociopolitical agenda of the translators.
Your God has no problem with homosexuality, or homosexual people. Why would he? He created us all, the way he wanted us*.
(*If you believe that everything was created by God, of course)

If you believe in God and want to obey his command's, then you'll have to accept that any sex outside of marriage is a sin for it says in the Bible that only the marriage bed is undefiled. Jesus himself said that even lusting in your heart is a sin and never refuted the sexual laws of the Old Testament. God created man and woman to be as one, to bear children in the sanctity of marriage and to multiply...that was His intention and desire. Mankind could not populate the world if he had created two men or two women to start with. ALL other forms of sexual immorality are sinful...not just being gay or lesbian but the Bible does state that God considers homosexuality an abomination which is a bit harsher than plain old sins like greed or envy or hatred. The point is, we should try to please God and do what He desires if we really love Him....He knows what's best for His creation and we are His children.

I am Christian and there is no sin in being bisexual. It fascinates me how some people who responded assumed that because you are bisexual, you go around sleeping with every person on planet earth. You haven't even said you have had sex with anyone, that you think sex before marriage is okay or that you would like to have multiple partners. Good grief! Some of these people really annoy me.
It also fascinates me how many people choose to be ignorant about that one verse in Leviticus. It refers to male-on-male rape, not sex between two married men, who love each other. In addition, those who argue it is part of the moral code should take note that eating shrimp and mixing different types of cloth is part of that same moral code. That moral code classification is slightly deficient. They really need to relook at it. It annoys me when people are like Barbie reading the Bible rather than intelligent human beings, who understand what Jesus Christ is really about, studying the Bible in depth, even if they don't like what they find out.

The great thing about religion is you can justify anything you do and still believe in your own mind that you're right.
I suspect you still haven't fully convinced yourself, so you have to ask the question on a Yahoo board.

Reba,
I find your definition of bisexual as "greedy" as being misinformed - typical of a straight person. I'm bisexual and I would love to hear your views on this.

Leviticus 20:13 " If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have commited an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Romans 1: 18-32 " For the wrath of GOD is revealded from HEAVEN against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth of unrighteousness; because that which may be known of GOD is manifest in them; for god has shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when thet knew GOD, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible GOD into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore GOD also gave them up to uncleaness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of GOD into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more then the Creator, who is blessed forever. A-Men. For this cause GOD gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the 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 women working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain GOD in their knowledge, GOD gave them over to reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unricheousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of GOD, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgement of GOD, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
1 Corinthians 6:9
There are many references in the BIBLE that says homosexuality and bi- sexuality is wrong. I've showed you, now U show in the BIBLE where it says it's good to be a homosexual or bi-sexual. I'VE SHOWN YOU NOW WHAT?
That one verse in Leviticus says NOTHING about rape of man by man! It MEANS conscensual sex between man/man and woman/woman! It is unnatural for man/man or women/ women reguardless of marital status, because it's unnatural for man/man or woman/woman to be married. Sex was ulitmately designed for procreation. I don't understand how a true Christian can condone such abominations. You need to rethink your salvation!
