Why did God condem homosexuals?

Question

I mean I am religous ( was raised catholic and baptised but lets face it I agree with all religons and can see the good in them all. I believe in a divine energy) and homosexual and I don;t get why everybody hates on homosexulaity. . . . I mean logically why?

Me, I don;t hate it was just an open question . . . I don't on ones for their beliefs. . .

Answer 1

1) These is no logic to it.

2) God doesn't condemn gay people.

The Roman Catholic Church condemns homosexual actions, but not homosexual people. They do this based on their tradition, which they hold equal in revelatory status with Holy Scripture.

3) The people who try to say the Bible condemns us gay people are just wrong, and want to read things into the Bible that aren't there for their own political agenda.

Answer 2

The Bible and most religions don't actually condemn homosexuals--they condemn homosexual practice and the people that advocate this practice as normal and acceptable. Some of the people that fall in the category of homosexual-practices-advocate get so upset with the Biblical position on this issue they resort to calling everyone who thinks that the anus is not a proper place for a penis a homophobe and promote the idea that homosexuals (meaning those that are tempted to perform homosexual acts) are hated by God. When exactly the opposite is true.

Answer 3

God doesn't condemn homosexuals, but does condemn sin which is in us all.

John 3:16-17, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."

As for the hating on homosexuals thing ... Leviticus also says that eating shellfish is an abomination! Yet most Christians probably eat shrimp, and, anyway, there was never any persecution of shellfish-eaters. Why is that? Why is one sentence taken as “God’s law”, and another just as “ancient dietary laws”, when they’re both forbidden in the same book, and the condemnation for both (”abomination”) is the same?

The answer, of course, is that people are already bigots (though an important source of that bigotry may well be church sermons). Saying “It’s God’s command” instead of admitting to their prejudice makes them feel better I guess ...

Actually, Christians are not to hate on anyone. We’re taught to hate the sin but love the sinner. People who use the label of Christianity to promote hatred of fellow humans are simply sinners in a different manner and I will love them and hate their sin just like I’ll do for anyone else.

Answer 4

In his first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 6, verses 9 and 10, the apostle Paul listed some practices which would keep a person out of the Kingdom unless they quit them: 'But know this first, that neither thieves nor greedy persons nor drunkards, homosexuals (some Bibles translate it "the effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind")...will inherit God's kingdom.' Then he goes on to show that the first, real Christians weren't prejudiced against such persons, but tried to help them to do the right thing, when he added, "Yet that is what some of you were. But you have been washed clean..."

Is this prudery? Obviously not, since it says (Genesis, the first book, chapters one and two, you can read it in five minutes) that God blessed and commanded mankind to have children and fill the earth and subdue it. Last time I checked there was only one way to do that...and married them totally without clothes.

There are some other things. I'll see what else I can find and try to get back to you with it...

Later edit:
I found some brief articles presenting some facts you don't often hear, including Jesus' own words, with their sources, so you can look them up for yourself. One of them dates back to 1976, before AIDS, but since homosexuality dates back for thousands of years, the information is still relevant.. I don't think we're supposed to clutter Yahoo's hard drives with pages of material on Answers, though, so I will email them to you at the address you gave in your Profile. Feel free to email me back if you have a question about anything you read in them!

Answer 5

If you believe in God, then you should know why. He created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. The key should fit the hole. If you wanna go the biological route, the anus is an exit only tunnel...one way traffic. Just because someone can manage to fit their d*ck in there after struggling with lubricants and stretching doesn't make it a proper place for intercourse. If it's like that, why don't we try ear sex? Or maybe we should try belly button sex? If you try hard enough it might work, lol. And if someone laughs at me or thinks its stupid, does that make them intolerant and hateful discriminators like those who are against homosexuality?

If you think logically, the only reason people do it is because the anus is right there by the vagina. The a*s is a very attractive body part so I guess people want to expand the pleasures they get from it. But it is just a perverted and unhealthy thing to do, and that's the bottom line! (no pun intended).

Answer 6

He didn't.

Some of those who call themselves his followers have decided that THEY don't like homosexuality for whatever reason, and so they cherry-pick isolated and improperly translated verses from the Bible that they think demonstrate that G-d feels the same way about homosexuality as they do, quote them completely out of context, and use them to bash and berate homosexuals.

WHY some people are so anti-homosexual? I think for a lot of people, its the "ick factor" at work. For heterosexuals who have no sexual interest in others of their same sex, the very idea of having intimate sexual relations with another person of the same sex is so foreign, and so unappealing, even downright repugnant, that they literally can't imagine themselves ever doing such a thing. Therefore (according to their "logic") it must be "wrong" and people who do such things "must" be sick or perverted or sinful or whatever.

Kinda childish thinking, when you think about it. Its like saying, "I don't like anchovies, I won't eat them -- ever -- therefore no one else should either, and if you like them, you're WIERD."

Answer 7

The Bible, in Genesis, in chapters one and 2, delivers God's blueprint for marriage and for His good present of intercourse. The present is barely to be enjoyed interior a marriage between a guy and a woman. There are actually not any exceptions suggested, which includes gay partnerships. From Genesis on, the Bible praises the marriage of a guy and a woman, even though it speaks in ordinary terms negatively of gay habit each and every time it rather is suggested. The previous testomony states, "do not lie with a guy as one lies with a woman; it rather is detestable" (Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13). the recent testomony consents, itemizing "gay offenders" between a catalogue of people who "won't inherit the dominion of God" except they're cleansed by Christ (a million Corinthians 6:9-11). different passages are Genesis, financial disaster 19; Romans a million:18-32; a million Timothy a million:8-11; Jude, verse 7. although, it rather is important be conscious that the Bible speaks in ordinary terms of gay habit (which might comprise lust—picking to fantasize approximately habit), not unchosen emotions. God won't choose a Christian to blame for their involuntary emotions. often times it rather is asserted that the Bible would not checklist any words of Jesus approximately homosexuality, and for this reason it may desire to be proper to God. although, the Bible would not checklist sayings of Jesus some form of alternative particular sins the two. whilst human beings asked Jesus approximately marriage, He informed them to keep in mind what Genesis pronounced approximately God's plan for marriage (Matthew 19:a million-12). So, in this sense, Jesus did have something to assert approximately gay partnerships. If human beings had asked Him, He could have informed them to keep in mind what God pronounced approximately marriage in Genesis. God in ordinary terms blessed intercourse in the committed marriage courting of a guy and a woman. some have tried to reinterpret what the Bible says, in an attempt to approve gay relationships. For a respond to such efforts, study "immediately and narrow" by Thomas Schmidt or "a good delusion" by Joe Dallas. those books are obtainable by maximum Christian bookstores or by Regeneration Books, P.

Answer 8

God didn't; people did.

"But it says so in Leviticus!" you cry.

So the bible MUST be followed to the letter, since it is the literal word of God, right?

Then why don't so-called Christians follow Exodus 35:2 when they shop at Wal-Mart on Sunday?

Either EVERY WORD in the bible is the literal command of an almighty God and must be followed or it's not.

Anything less is simply a person's interpretation of another person's definition, and the bible is nothing more than a textbook.

You choose.

Answer 9

God didn't condemn, man did. The Bible was written by man, not God.

People tend to be afraid of what they don't understand. Some people believe it is wrong, I happen to believe that there are no mistakes. Live and let live.

You'll never be able to figure out why people hate the way they do.

Answer 10

There is no god who condemns homosexuals simply for being homosexual. People do that. You are as beautiful and good as everyone else!
