Much has been made about this topic in connection to the Bible and Christian beliefs. Some have said that we have to go back to the old Testament scriptures to say it's a sin. How do you view the following Scripture and what do you think it is saying and talking about? What do you believe the following is saying and does not the words in bold text sound like Homosexuality?
Romans 1:25-32 (CEV)
25 They gave up the truth about God for a lie, and they worshiped God's creation instead of God, who will be praised forever. Amen.
26 God let them follow their own evil desires. Women no longer wanted to have sex in a natural way, and they did things with each other that were not natural.
27 Men behaved in the same way. They stopped wanting to have sex with women and had strong desires for sex with other men. They did shameful things with each other, and what has happened to them is punishment for their foolish deeds.
28 Since these people refused even to think about God, he let their useless minds rule over them. That's why they do all sorts of indecent things.
29 They are evil, wicked, and greedy, as well as mean in every possible way. They want what others have, and they murder, argue, cheat, and are hard to get along with. They gossip,
30 say cruel things about others, and hate God. They are proud, conceited, and boastful, always thinking up new ways to do evil. These people don't respect their parents.
31 They are stupid, unreliable, and don't have any love or pity for others.
32 They know God has said that anyone who acts this way deserves to die. But they keep on doing evil things, and they even encourage others to do them.
God loves the Homosexual just like He loves any other sinner. The Scripture, I believe, does say that Sex between two men and sex between two women is a sin and that man and woman were created to have relations with each other. The above Scripture was taken from Romans, in the New (not Old) Testament. Homosexuality does not send commit a person to Hell no more than lying or malice or any other sin. When we are all judged we will be judged with respect to our actions, our sins, and our relation to Jesus Christ. I do not believe that God condones and approves of any sin but any person is capable of, and does, sin.
consider:
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (CEV)
9 Don't you know that evil people won't have a share in the blessings of God's kingdom? Don't fool yourselves! No one who is immoral or worships idols or is unfaithful in marriage or is a pervert or behaves like a homosexual
10 will share in God's kingdom. Neither will any thief or greedy person or drunkard or anyone who curses and cheats others.
11 Some of you used to be like that. But now the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of God's Spirit have washed you and made you holy and acceptable to God.
It is through Jesus Christ that anyone can find forgiveness of Sins no matter what they are.
