Homosexuality = sin

According to the christian bible, yes, homosexuality is a sin
but then again so is....

Eating pork and rabbit
Leviticus 11:6-8

Eating Lobster, Crab, and other types of "nonfish"
Leviticus 11:9

Being anywhere near your mom when shes on her period
Leviticus 15:19

Wearing a shirt consisting of 90% cotton/10%polyester
Leviticus 19:19

Having your steak too rare
Leviticus 19:26

Working on Sunday
Leviticus 23:3

and of course, everyones favorite...

Being Gay
Leviticus 18:22

(He begine to make his point)
All these are actual sins and, and yes are in the bible. But how many of you could really give up your bacon, your silky button up versace shirt, being near your mother for a whole 84 days out of the year, juicy steak, or losing your job because you refuse to work sundays.

(The point!(finally))
Give or take a couple of hundred years this whole homo-phobe thing will all blow over and be as normal as eggs and bacon

(I'm an atheist by the way)

 

Gasoline prices at the pump are a = Sin.

 

Wearing a shirt consisting of 90% cotton/10%polyester
Leviticus 19:19.....................polyester did not exist back in those days!.

 

I know many here might not like straight people posting here, but many many people in my family are gay including the grandfather to my children so give me some leway here.
I noticed in all this sin talk no one mentioned that in Paul that all sex is considered bad so the invention of christian marriage comes because it is better to be with one person for life than to sin all the time by having sex with many people. so really the act of sex is a sin with out marriage and there is not really a set gay or straight about it, marriage allows for the act of sex.
and all the sins in lev. are old test. for those still posting. love is the only law as someone posted so well earlier.
much love.

 

I couldn't not check this, but yeah, it's pretty much there:

Given how completely fucknut the majority of modern religious leaders are these days, I fail to see the point of taking anything in the Bible without a hefty pinch of salt. Leviticus' stuff seems surprisingly direct and specific for scripture though.

 

Again polyester did not exist in biblical times = No wonder this people are brain dead!

 

So cotton and polyester is okay but wool and linen isn't?

I'm sorry, but the non-brain dead argument is that the whole thing's retarded, not that there's something specifically wrong with wool or linen. Probably they found that wool-and-linen clothing was stronger, people bought less clothes and it was bad for the economy, so they started telling them it was a sin.

 

ok then shooping at walmart is a sin in the 2010 bible version!

 

good arguements ..i just had to come in when i seen the thread ..as stated above about pigs and rabbits ..actually it's hares ..there is a difference you know ..and in the bible it states that a mman shall not lay with an ass as he does with a woman and shall not lay with a man as he does with a woman .for it is an abhoration ...never seen in the bible say that an abhoration is a sin ..doesn't define it

 

by the way ..i'm not gay but i'm not homophobic either

 

What, the Gospel According To Matt Stone, Trey Parker, Michael Moore And A Bunch Of Other People Who Used To Be Funny Before It Became Cool To Be Liberal?

 

true love is love BUT
Romans 1:26-27 says: "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."

but in the bible it also says you can be forgiven for any sin (and since all sins are equal in gods eyes).. you can still go to heaven and be gay.. but you have to repent..(in the Christian religion)..
BTW im gay and im 14..so please correct me if you think im wrong..

 

And you can repent right up until your last breath, I think. Worth remembering if you want to be on the safe side.

 

The Bible is a book of historical fiction and grotesque ritualistic, primitive barbarism. The New Testament is almost the same just more passive in its intolerance.

In this "good book" some sky daddy says homosexuality is an "abomination" while condoning the massacres of whole cities and the rape and kidnapping of virgins and the eternal frying of those who disbelieve the fairytale gospel rehash.



Who gives a fuck what it says?

 

Christians.


You don't have to give a shit about what the Bible says, but it's hardly surprising that it came up in a thread about homosexuality and sin (a very religious term). What I would say is that it's worth knowing what the Bible does and doesn't say if you're going to argue with homophobes, as a lot of them tend to be a) Christian, and b) dumb enough to quote the Bible as if it were a scientific study. Anyone can argue with these people and be right, but if you want to win, you need to be able to beat them on their own terms.

 

When I hear "homosexual" and "sin" in the same sentence, I always think of two particular relatives (my aunt and uncle), it's sickening...

I remember one time they accused me of being on drugs, that homosexuality was a sin, that I was tempted by the devil, and they went so far as to tell me "what god wants". I've seen people pervert religion before, and tell people what the Bible says, but I've never seen anyone tell people this is "what god wants". That was pretty disgusting I thought.

So I replied to their letter, using much of the same words they used, and just turning it around on them, absolute sarchasm on my part.

 

Not Everybody is a Christian - Who cares what the Bible Says

 

But most Christians like to think so.

 

no. i dont think it is

 

i'm a christian, and what makes me sad is that somehow we've totally misrepresented ourselves to where everyone just thinks we're a bunch of intolerant judgemental ignorant homophobes. The truth is plainly that we believe in God, and we believe that His Word is truth. Absolute truth. So when it says homosexuality is unnatural and sinful, it's truth because God said so. It doesn't mean that we have the right to tell you you're sinful, it just gives us the right to love you and say "you know what, i'm a sinner too". All sin is, is when you do something that separates you from God. That can be any addiction, lying, being selfish, and yes, choosing to have sexual relationship with someone of the same sex. but you know what? even the people that do the worst possible things in this world, God still loves them with a love that won't quit. He wants sooooo much for them to choose him instead of those things that separate Him from them. that's the example that christians should be setting. christians should be accepting...not of the sin, constantly urging people to choose God's way...but of the fact that people aren't perfect.
