Yes, the bible says homosexuality is sin.

I believe the Bible says we are all created in God's image, we are all equally born into sin, love thy neighbour, and Jesus loves us unconditionally.



There are a few verses in the Bible that can be interpreted to be against homosexuality.



But there are many more verses in the Bible saying there is more than enough sin within heterosexuality.



Heterosexual polygamy, affairs, sex, slavery, rape... homosexual stuff is barely even mentioned. According to the Bible, heterosexuals are much more likely to sin.

I'm dismayed with the general Christian reaction to the legalizing of gay marriage. It's scripturally, and emotionally unbalanced. It's either a full endorsement or support....or relentless condemnation.

What do you think the Christian reaction should be?



Support or condemnation?

The biblical Christian reaction should be niether. No support of sin....no condemnation.

"No support of sin". So you're saying being gay is a sin.

 God says homosexuality is a sin.  So is fornication. Adultry.  Christ used the word "pornea". Which is all sex outside of God's designed parameters of marriage.

Pornea is Greek and is usually translated as "fornication".

People are already condemned, it's a matter of being saved out of that condemnation. Bible thumping doesn't help.  You can call a sin a sin, without self righteous condemnation. We are called to speak the truth in LOVE. Not speak the truth in condemnation.

We are all born into sin and God did create us in his image and we are to love our neighbour Mark 12:31.



You are also correct that heterosexual sin is indeed sin..



However, homosexuality is indeed sin..



The bible is crystal clear about homosexuality, but that doesn't mean we are not to love sinners though.



1 Corinthians 6:9-10  Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God

When Christians fornicate, is it a sin? Christians fornicate just as much as anyone else.

Yes, of course there are backsliders in the body of Christ..



But it is still sin though..



Romero, does it bother you that homosexuality is a sin?

 Yes. Sin is sin. The difference between an unregenerate sinner and a saved one, is that the saved one will feel conviction and turn from their sin.  Pride is a sin. Lust, materialism, idolitry. You dont simply stop sinning.  Read the verses from Romans 7 I posted.

Cue the bible thumping. It was always going to happen.  Religious people can't help themselves.

[Anonymous]

Actually, people asked. And no one is thumping.

[Frood]

It is the underlying reason for why you find open pride marches wrong, isn't it?

[Anonymous]

I find public nudity wrong. I find public sex acts wrong. They are both illegal, btw.

[Frood]

Not entirely illegal. Not entirely wrong either. Maybe to the religious people it might be.

[Anonymous]

Yes, it's entirely illegal. And wrong. And out of everyone agreeing with my side, I'm the only believer.
