Is homosexuality a sin?

sin?"
Answer: The Bible consistently tells us that homosexual activity is a sin
(Genesis 19:1-13; Leviticus 18:22; 20:13; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians
6:9). Romans 1:26-27 teaches specifically that homosexuality is a result of
denying and disobeying God. When people continue in sin and unbelief, God
"gives them over" to even more wicked and depraved sin in order to show them
the futility and hopelessness of life apart from God. 1 Corinthians 6:9
proclaims that homosexual "offenders" will not inherit the kingdom of God.
God does not create a person with homosexual desires. The Bible tells us
that people become homosexuals because of sin (Romans 1:24-27) and
ultimately because of their own choice. A person may be born with a greater
susceptibility to homosexuality, just as some people are born with a
tendency to violence and other sins. That does not excuse the person's
choosing to sin by giving in to sinful desires. If a person is born with a
greater susceptibility to anger/rage, does that make it right for him to
give into those desires? Of course not! The same is true with homosexuality.
However, the Bible does not describe homosexuality as a "greater" sin than
any other. All sin is offensive to God. Homosexuality is just one of the
many things listed in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 that will keep a person from the
KINGDOM OF GOD. According to the Bible, God's forgiveness is just as
available to a homosexual as it is to an adulterer, idol worshipper,
murderer, thief, etc. God also promises the strength for victory over sin,
including homosexuality, to all those who will believe in Jesus Christ for
their salvation (1 Corinthians 6:11; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Philippians 4:13).

On the off chance that you're not a drive-by poster, why should we
care what the Bible says?
P.S. That's not a rhetorical question.

Well, there is the love of David for Jonthan which surpassed the love

Not anywhere near the truth. Misinformation and mistranslation leads you to
believe that.
If homosexuality is a sin you have two very difficult mountains to overcome.
The first is that Joshua healed the homosexual lover of the Centurion
without comment. The second is that Joshua said that at the end of times,
two men would be sleeping in bed together and one would be taken directly to
heaven. If it was wrong or a sin, neither of those should be in the bible.
Yet they are. So your only option is to believe you have it wrong. It
would help if you actually knew what those verses you referred to actually
said.
Hint: there is no such word as homosexual or homosexuality in ancient
Hebrew nor in ancient Greek.

Xians focus too much attention to that subject, while they should focus
more about ethics, justice and health issues.
You don't read a lot of xians threads about Wall Street abuses, slave
labor, the uninsured, etc.

Why the Bible? Why not, oh, Stephen King's "Salem's Lot"? One piece of
fiction seems no more important than another, and King's work was at
least tolerably readable fiction.

The Christian bible? The New Testament?
Nothing. Nothing what so ever. Jesus never so
much as once mentioned it. Not once.
What you appear to be arguing is that you're a
greater religious authority than Jesus, and if
he had known any better he would have obsessed
over homosexuality the way Reich wing screwballs
do.
And, oh: The "Sin" of Sodom was inhospitality,
not homosexuality, Leviticus is denounced by
Christianity as quaint Jewish cultural law (and
it doesn't mention homosexuality per se, only
anal sex), Romans is clearly speaking of Idolatry
and there were Greek words they could have used
in Corinthians if they had meant homosexuality,
but they never used any of them.
You're welcome.

More evidence that the Bible is nonsense. Thank you for that.

What does the word "sin" mean? To me, that is. Keep in mind that I'm
an atheist not a superstitious nutbar. That word is meaningless
outside of your fairy tale nonsense.

You're trying to reason with someone who thinks that the classical
Christanic mythologies are actually real some how.

Most homosexuals in the United States *are* Christians.

It's impossible to break through that mentality especially when they
amateur psychologise you as if it actually were real in the real
world.

Why are Christians so completely obsessed with sex?
Particularly where other people's sex lives are concerned?
Christopher A. Lee
Because Paul was a mysoginist who hated it.

Forbidden fruit? Remember in the Victorian era people covered up the legs
on tables and chairs because they would cause impure thoughts. The more
stringent the society, the more desired the object.

As well as the OT God....
Trance Gemini
They need to start paying attention to their own sex lives and keep
their noses out of everyone else's.
Of course if we were to actually believe what they said we'd think
they were so pure and perfect that they only ever had heterosexual
married sex.
Given the abortion stats (75% of abortions are performed on Christian
women) and the divorce stats (Theists have a much higher divorce rate
than atheists), the facts would indicate that isn't the case and
perhaps they should clean up their own house first before getting all
self-righteous about what the rest of the world is doing.

If you can get a creature to self-regulate it's primary instincts and

Hmmm. I'd say that works the other way around. A lot of godbots are
homosexual. Some recognise and declare that, but a lot accept what they
are told about "those feelings" being "wrong" and set about persecuting
other homosexual people as a guilt-transfer activity.
Its still all a load of bollocks though. ;)

For sure. It's the best way of controlling people.
