Well I believe not to judge others. I love my brothers and sisters (everyone). Different christian denominations teach varying things on homosexuality. Being catholic its frowned upon because of the belief of God’s intention that the sexual act between men and women to bear fruit at its core. I agree with that. But is it a sin outside of that?

Well I don’t know I am still trying to discover that but personally being asexual its hard for me to understand sexual manners at all.

I wish I could reply directly to people but ifonlyonce said it best. What may we do but just love one another? The bible is written in black and white. Only God can judge ultimately.

The parts of the new testament that mention homosexuality are open to interpretation (see context). However, Leviticus 20:13 (the most commonly brought up verse in this type of debate), is a part of the old testament and ancient law code and therefore was fulfilled by the crucifixion of Christ. Otherwise, we would also not be allowed to have sex when women are menstruating, eat pork, cut our hair, or charge interest on loans. Which, of course, are ridiculous and archaic.

Homosexuality is a sin bible states that Paul states that the Old testament states that and Jesus States that. The Sin of Homosexuality is written 6 times in the Bible and whenever God repeats himself then we have to understand that it is very important like the way Jesus used to say ” verely verely” . Now lets find out whether it is a sin or not , lets go back the the Garden when it all began god made Adam and Eve to possess the earth and take care of it , talking physically homosexuality is against the Nature itself because our body is not designed for that , there is a specific design and a way in which our body work. and lastly i believe our God Yahweh , Yeshua can turn the heart of homosexuals our God has the Power to make them right . and most importantly We Christians who are a Followers of Jesus Christ are called to Love sinners and Hate sins , just like Salt it is very ordinary but still ExtraOrdinary.

I believe it’s wrong and only a man and woman should lay together. However what a individual decides what to do with their body is their business and isn’t my concern. God will take care of them, not me. It’s not my place to judge and plus God wouldn’t want me to have hatred in my heart for another person. I treat others how they treat me so just because someone is Gay , Bi , or Lesbian doesn’t mean i’m going to be mean to them or treat them differently and i think that’s how it should be .

in my opinion, and i’m a proudly confirmed member of
the episcopal church, i don’t really care
whether or not homosexuality is a sin.
so is playing with a pigskin, or wearing
man made materials (both laws can be found in
deuteronomy). but romans 8:1 states ‘now there
is no condemnation for those who belong
in Christ Jesus’ (nlt) so truly, as long as
a person believes that Jesus died on the
cross for EVERYONE’S sins, then they are
secured a place in heaven. plus, jesus wouldn’t
hate anyone, no matter what, so i don’t
either.

If you profess Christianity, you have to accept that how you feel about things is an ineffective way to judge the moral nature of actions.

When you read the Bible, it is abundantly clear that homosexuality is a sin. Non-marital sex of any sort and murder are sins as well, and the penalties of these sins is very steep.

The other side of Christianity is not talked about a lot. There is a sin condition, yes, but there is also redemption in Christ. The only requirement is to admit that you are wrong in your lifestyle and need a change, which many gays are convinced beyond reason that they cannot change.

If you read the Jesus of the Bible, you will notice something very different from the Jesus preached about in churches. Jesus is very inclusive, but it’s on HIS terms: enter by the narrow gate, no one gets through the father except through me, take up your cross and follow me.

If you want to follow Jesus, by virtue of doing so you forego all rights to your own brand of morality, and as a result a gay lifestyle is also on the table with everything else.

One element neglected often by most Christianity, however, is the healing and transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Read up on him, and you’ll discover there’s hope in Christ for a better life even if gay sex is your favorite thing!
