ok so i know homosexuality is condemed in the bible(oh brother)
but people dont choose to be gay. im watching a documentary called "god on my side" and the christian panel says its a sin and a trick by the devil that they are gay. that they are not born gay, but choose it.
is this the common view of christians? that people choose to be gay?
if not, and they are born gay, then why would god make them like that, only to allow them to burn in hell? not very logical in my eyes?
any answers guys?
Homosexuality is no different than any other sin one would commit, yes God speaks about it and condemns that lifestyle just like any other that goes against what he has deemed to be natural and fruitful! My point is, those that sin (everyone) were born sinners. Some commit this type of sin some commit that type of sin. But to answer your question; they were born with the propensity to commit this sin! Homosexuality is no different this just happens to be one of many sins that they chose to commit!
Romans 1:24-3224 Therefore
God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this,
God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.27 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. 28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,
30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;
31 they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
32 Although they know
God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.Galatians 5:19-26
19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.
25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
My question to you is; Are they homosexual in thought or only in deed?
Is someone a homosexual if they have homosexual desires or only if they act on those desires?
