i heard from someone's opinion that being gay is wrong, but no worse than lust.?

Question

i'm not saying this to justify ppl who are gay, i was just curious what you all thought

Answer 1

The difference between gays and lustful people is that lustful Christians try to repent. That's the problem with this whole "gays in the church" issue: They not only want to be held to the same standard as other sinners, they want to be allowed to continue their sinful ways--not only that, but they want the Bible rewritten to say they're not sinners. That's the issue.

So, to say that lust and same-sex relations are both sins and we're all sinners would be correct; but that argument is often a way for gays to get into the church through the backdoor, so to speak, and to undermine it.

I would also add that God never destroyed a city over heterosexual lustfulness. Nor are many other sins termed "an abomination."

If you're looking for a moral equivalent, according to the Bible, to same-sex relations, I'd say the closest bet would be witchcraft.

Answer 2

being gay is only wrong because of the lust that is in most causes involved. If a man Loved a man perfectly as God does then Loving another man would not be wrong. Sexual activity is only wrong when it is done out of lust and ignorance. Sex with a woman if your a man or man and a woman is not wrong as long as it is for progeny or conception, making a baby. It is not however to my knowledge that a man and a man or a female ans a female can make babies. Therefor there is no need for sex, other than sense gratification which is a product of lust and or ignorance.

Answer 3

Here is what the bible says about homosexuality:

Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the incorruptible Godinto an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them to uncleanness through the lusts of their ownhearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the reator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Rom 1:26 For this cause, God gave them up, unto vile affections: for even, their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men wrking that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain Godin their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things,disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment 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.

Well wrong is wrong, everybody knows what the bible says about being gay, well this is what it says about lust....
The Bible and Lust

While many today feel that there is nothing wrong or dangerous about feeding sexual fantasies, the Bible disagrees. It clearly explains that there is an intrinsic relationship between what we feed on mentally and how we act. “Each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire,” points out the Christian disciple James. “Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin.” (James 1:14, 15) Jesus said: “Everyone that keeps on looking at a woman so as to have a passion for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”—Matthew 5:28.

As James and Jesus both indicate, humans act on the impulse of internal desires. Those desires, when fed and nourished, can in time become powerful obsessions. Obsessions are very hard to resist and can eventually push a person into action. Thus, what we introduce into our minds can have a powerful effect on what we eventually do.

Sexual fantasies can directly interfere with our worship of God. That is why Paul wrote: “Deaden, therefore, your body members . . . as respects fornication, uncleanness, sexual appetite, hurtful desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.”—Colossians 3:5.

Paul here links sexual appetite with covetousness, which is an inordinate desire for something that one does not have. Covetousness is a form of idolatry. Why? Because the one coveting puts that desired thing before all else, including God. Pornography stimulates lust for something that one does not possess. “You want somebody else’s sexual life. . . . You can have nothing in your mind but that appetite for what you lack. . . . What we lust for, we worship,” says one religion writer.

Answer 5

Absolutely.
I will make the world a deal. As a fundamentalist Christian I will bash homosexuals as soon as I can go for a month straight without breaking a commandment. I haven't been able to do it for 41 years. I think gay people are pretty safe from my verbal assault.

Answer 6

Sin is sin. There is no difference in the eyes of God..We are all sinners. So being gay is not worse than any other sinful human..

Answer 7

I would say it is more along the lines of premarital sex which is a little more serious than just lust.

Answer 8

Excuse me? Being gay isn't a sin. -.-

I'm sick and tired of you guys saying it's 'wrong' to be gay.

Seriously, if Heaven exists, you people who say it's wrong to be gay aren't going there! You can suffer for all eternity because YOU are the evil ones!

Answer 9

Being gay is wrong is the eyes of the socially perverted christians. Being christian is wrong. The difference is that christians are not born that way.

Answer 10

Sin is sin and Jesus died to free us from sin. Both need forgiveness and we can be set free from any bondage.
