Why do homosexuals believe that homosexuality is not a sin?

by Justin Bruce
(Jackson, MS, United States)

Homosexuals believe homosexuality is not a sin because there is nothing sinful about people's sexual orientation per se. Homosexuality and heterosexuality are sexual orientations, not sins or sinful conditions.

All homosexuals and all heterosexuals are sinners from birth because we all are born with a sin nature, Romans 3:23, 5:12.

Some of us are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus Christ), Romans 5:9, Revelation 12:11 and some folks are still lost and unsaved because they have not received "the gift of God which is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord," Romans 6:23.

I must answer your question with another question.

When did you make a decision to be heterosexual instead of homosexual?

If you never made a decision to be heterosexual instead of homosexual, if you never chose heterosexuality for youself, then why do you believe that we made a decision to be homosexual instead of heterosexual?

No Bible verse alleged to condemn homosexuality is addressing the issue of homosexuality when read in context.

It will be helpful to click on any button on the NavBar under What The Bible Says and read the information with an open Bible and a prayerful heart. The Bible is only understandable when read in context, guided by the Holy Spirit, 2 Corinthians 2:14, 2 Timothy 2:15.

Your reading comprehension skills are sadly lacking
by: Rick Brentlinger

Thanks for reminding us of Leviticus 18:22. As far as your accusation that we only read verses we like and skip the one you cited, you're way off base.

We are familiar with the cultural, doctrinal, historical and religious context of Leviticus 18:22, as apparently, you are not.

For your edification, I encourage you to read and study instead of simply reading a verse and assuming that the first thought that pops into your mind about it is correct.

Here's a great starting point.

Leviticus 18:22 and shrine prostitutes.

leviticus 18:22 says, Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.

This is God's Word people, you can't read only the verses you like and skip this one. Think about it.

IT WAS ADAM AND EVE NOT ADAM AND STEVE!

With all the respect to you all living kind and knowing that this is coming from the heart of a sinner just like you all!

I don't think that homosexuals or lesbians are made, but rather born.It is hard for me to explain but I will give you an example, I have a nephew that ever seance he was a baby and could walk we saw he was really feminine and in fact he is now 18 and gay.

On the other hand we have those that "yea right! become gay," now that I would consider a sin." You see people do not choose to be born gay it is in them. But those that become gay for many circumstances and don't know how to deal, reach for help through prayer or other methods become trapt and another cycle of chain generation began.

For instance my sister, was raped for great part of her life no one knew apparently, became pregnant at a young age. Six years later pregnant again. Two years after that she is a lesbian. You see there is so much behind them that you can't imagine how hard it is for them when all those emotions of hate need of love understanding and many other feelings crush them and they some times don't realize or just decided to block them which is even worst.

I don't talk just from the mouth but from the heart when I, myself was molested by many members of my family and some how God gave me the strength to keep my self up.

Now is my job as God's child to break my daughters from this chain of sin that my ancestors passed on to us through generations and start a generation of trust, faith and love in God. To know that loving others and respecting others is what would help you reach perfection to God's eyes!

It is what it is
by: Eyes Wide Open

arsenokoitia may not be definitively defined as meaning male on male sex, but it does mean anal sex, and I don't know any other type of sex that can be committed between two males except oral sex. So if the word means anal sex, then the Bible IS saying that is an abomination. That doesn't mean God doesn't love the men; we are ALL sinners; we just each pick a different sin. But once you RECOGNIZE your sin, the Bible gives you clear instruction to run from it. I'm not a Bible scholar, but I have studied enough to come to a clear conclusion that God did not create Adam and Andy, He created Adam and Eve, to go out and procreate. I don't know many male couples or female couples who could procreate without artificial means, which is NOT how God intended. So you can play with words and meanings any way you want to try and legitimize your sin, but the bottom line is that if homosexuality was the intended way ALL animals would be that way, at least partially, and there would be a way to continue the species with homosexuality. But it doesn't and it isn't and therefore, whether you choose to remain in the homosexual lifestyle or flee from it, God still loves you and wants you to have a personal relationship with Him. If two men can have a satisfying love relationship, there is no reason why that same man can not develope a special and satisfying relationship with a woman.
