Question for Christians regarding just how bad Homosexuality really is

More ignorance.

pure BS and more pure BS. Please READ the book above that I linked to.

No scale? Isn't this evidence in the Bible of a sin scale?


Leviticus 18:22 ESV / 79 helpful votes

You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.

Leviticus 20:13 ESV / 70 helpful votes

If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

Proverbs 6:16-19 ESV / 54 helpful votes

There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

In the ten commandments any sexual sin comes under the heading of adultery. If you are with anybody else besides your wife or future wife that God intended for you to be happy and fulfilled with it is considered adultery. It is also a part of the first two commandments which are to love God and your neighbor. If the sexual sin is causing you to be separated from God and is harming another person or using another person for your own personal gratification of lust rather than love then you are harming yourself and the other person.

You are just about as ignorant as the rest of your contemporaries.

Right . Sin is sin. People need to remember to read the Bible as a whole, and not just isolate verses.

Romans chapter 1 gives a description of the progressively
destructive nature of sins.
Verse 21 says "they did not honor Him as God or give thanks.
So not giving thanks is the beginning of sin.
Consequently their heart was darkened.
So then verse 22 thinking themselves wise, they became fools (godless)
Next verse 23 they worshipped idols.
Therefore verse 24 God gave them over to lusts and impurity, tat their bodies might be "dishonored".
Next verse 25, they deliberately chose to believe lies.
Verse 26, God took His hand off them, stopped protecting them and said, "have it your way," and He gave them over to degrading passions..."their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural." verse 27, and "men committed indecent acts and received in their bodies the due penalty of their error"... Maybe homosexuality isn't the worst sin, but it is the most degrading thing one can do to a body. Read those verses in the Bible, and the subsequent verses,....these passages give the full progression of sin. It begins with being ungrateful to God and now acknowledging Him. Then sin is described as being increasingly degrading and increasingly destructive.
God doesn't say that homosexuality is the WORST sin, but it is described as being one of the most DESTRUCTIVE. Throughout the Bible, sin is sin, and one sin LEADS to the next progressively more destructive sin.
God offers salvation to the ungrateful, to the idol worshippers, to the homosexual and other perverts, to the murderers, greedy, the gossips, to all sinners.
And He tells us right here in Romans that the sure path to progressively deeper and deeper, and to more destructive sin begins with being ungrateful and not acknowledging Him.
That's why I tell my kids, "Be grateful, or you'll become a pervert." My husband says, "That's Jo Ann 1:1"... nah, that's God, Romans 1.
The book of Romans is the full sweep of salvation. It shows that there is no excuse for denying God, for being ungrateful and becoming destructively sinful. Be saved today!

Soooo...since it only addresses m/m...lesbians are in the clear :)

It's hilarious how the religitards post what they heard in church or read somewhere, like good little sunday school students.

Moral standards are set by God our Creator.
In determining what is right or wrong, what does the Bible say? that is the compass ....that is the standard of right and wrong.

^^^ This ^^^ The other sin homo's commit is when they leave the closet (where they belong) and corrupt the innocent (esp. impressionable youth). That sin is a LOT WORSE than a private act. Remember the Lord's warning about what would happen to people to taught His chosen youth to sin ....

It's a sin to steal a pin.

:ivant: Well lets hope that this dumb thread dosn't get one.

Now that's a stretch. What you are saying is that God didn't have the time or the resources to write it all down - all the rules.

If it's so bad, why didn't God put it in the TEN COMMANDMENTS?

Going to the grave would cover it, grace would cover it if the resturn happened as nobody alive for the 1,000 years is back with any old partner anyway. It won't be in the new earth because each man and woman are destined to have 100 children if they get married at 20. Nobody had any after they are 120 because then they would be born immortal instead of being eternal (needing food)

It's a sin to steal a pin.
