Is hating homosexuality is a sin?

Why is feminism a sin that you should hate while not hating the female? That's like me saying I hate masculinity but not men.

How about I just say I hate masculinity trying to define femininity. Nothing personal.

I really don't know what to make of your post. I think the word feminism is a moving target, and I'm not really sure what's it even means currently. I've heard women from all kinds of religious and political backgrounds claim that they were one. As far as hating homosexual relationships, do you think it might be because you feel your own sexuality has a purpose, and that purpose is to have children with a woman, which homosexuals seem to be denying in themselves? There will probably always be same sex couples and homosexuality, so I think it might be more productive for you to focus on channeling your feelings into things in your own life like dating, marriage, and children. Back to feminism, I have many men friends who hate feminism, and I think it might be because feminist women are seen as being insensitive to the emotional needs of men, which is true of some women.

2Timothy2:15 said:

All sin is sin, sin is against the Lord. But you are implying that all sins are equal and that is not true. All we have to do is look at both the OT and NT. Specific sins are called out and require being stoned in the OT, which others are not. In the NT certain sins are also called out as being those that would keep people from the kingdom. All sins are not equal.

“For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God's laws.” James 2:10

Sin is sin and all of it separates us from God, there is not one sin that God says, “well, that one is a little better so I’ll overlook it because it’s not as bad as that one.” We all fall short of God’s glory and thankfully we have the blood of Jesus to blot out our sin, but to focus on one sin as being abhorrent and not others is missing the point of “don’t go for that splinter in your brother’s eye when you have a log in your own.” We really ought to be more focused on cleaning out our own souls and living and loving others to win them to Christ.

God is not cool with it.
Romans 1 speaks clear on it.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality,[fn] wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving,[fn] unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Jesus said no one can serve two masters. Here are some quote of Satanic Bible author Anton Levey.

"The Tv set (is the) Satanic family altar."

"Television is the major mainstream infiltration for the new satanic religion."

"It should be brought out that we not only condone, but encourage all types of what would be called sexual perversity and deviations because we feel that in a few short years it will be established that everyone is a sexual deviant and pervert.

In the Satanic Bible, "LaVey explained that he was moved to establish the Church of Satan when he saw the need for a church that would "recapture man's body and carnal desires as objects of celebration."

"The Church of Satan preaches a religious system that endeavors to overcome the repressions and inhibitions of human instinctual behavior it believes has been fostered by the Judeo-Christian tradition."

We could use your same logic against those who hate sins that God gave us the ability to commit. Why hate something committed using a God-given ability?

Not necessarily. It just is important not to hate them.

I view it in the same way that I would see other differences between Christians. For example, my pastor is a woman, so while I disagree with those who argue that women should not be ordained, I can do that while still respecting them (I assume they have studied it out in the Bible, prayerfully, before God) and accepting them. I draw the line however when people start "trashing" someone (on whatever issue) when Christians and Churches actually do hold differing views, based on Scripture, and surveys show that we are split on these issues. That's usually when I just say, "lets agree to disagree" and walk away from the conversation, as to me that isn't Christ-like.

We need to be very careful using this kind of reasoning. Here's a similar example, DNA studies have shown that some people are more susceptible to alcoholism than others. Would we just shrug and say it's okay because they are "wired" that way?

Just because we are wired that way, does not mean "God-given" - we have to take the Fall into account. Our emotions, like our world, can be and are corrupted by sin.

Morality therefore must be rooted in what God says is righteous and sinful. This extends to our emotions too.

Let’s compile a list of all the groups of people that Jesus said he hated.

I have a gay sister, nephew and friends. Gay people are some of the kindest people I know.

Some of the gay people I have encountered will have nothing to do with Christianity because of this sort of mean spiritedness.

Gods gay children don’t want to be members of a church which exhibits so little of Jesus’ teachings. Why would they even want to join a social club that hats gay people?

Gay people are born gay, they are a special creation that have been terribly persecuted all throughout history.

Unfortunately, it usually is the case that, if the church merely opposes homosexual sex activity along with a batch of other sexual no-nos that are not about homosexuality, gay onlookers will dismiss that church with the observation that it hates them.

I say we are the masters of our own destiny. We all have a right to choose the life we want and should allow others to choose theirs. We decide how we want to be treated by the treatment we give others.

If you desire for your actions and things you do to be hated by others.....you have to hate the actions and deeds you see others engage in.

Your hating or not hating isnt wrong or right.....it is your God-giving will and ability to create the life you want for yourself.

So continue creating your future.....i find no fault in it. Hate begets Hate.

There are proper times to hate people, also. If you catch a man in the process of raping a little girl, if, in that moment, you do not hate the man, then you do not love the girl. The hatred, from a physiological standpoint, is there to help you react forcefully against an imminent threat. Imminent threats from people are real, and hatred against them is sometimes necessary.

The real sin is that lingering bitterness, the hatred that continues unnecessarily, long after the threat has passed.

That is a lie of Satan, my friend.

We should never hate another human being no matter what obscenity he/she is doing/has done. Show me where in the teachings of Christ and His apostles do we find such a demonic doctrine, that is, to hate another person who commits heinous sins before our very eyes?

God commands us to love one another. Satan, on the other hand, lures us to hate each other.

I have met so many people who are gay, but genuinely believe that there is no place for them with God because of what some Churches teach. That breaks my heart. Jesus died for all of us, I would be telling your sister, nephew and friends how MUCH he loves them. They (like you and me) have infinite worth to Him, that's why he chose the cross. Bring them to Jesus, and let them work through the morality with him later, because nothing matters more than Jesus.

I never said that feminism is a sin. Where are you getting that from? Please quote me.

We do not hate people because God loves His creation. Furthermore, He created us very good. The Lord gives us a clear commandment: 43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Therefore, we hate sin because it destroys the goodness of humanity, for the wages of sin is death and if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die, and again, he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption. Which one of you would not hate the severe alcoholism of a loved one such as a spouse? Will you not love your spouse but hate the sin that is causing destruction upon their soul? Please... if this is not persuasive enough, I don't need to speak any further since you simply cannot hear Truth.

Feminism is not a sin neither is masculism. It's just life.

This is not always the Church's fault.

As it seems to me, a gay person who thought as you describe might bring some strong arguments into play, because it rarely happens - as far as I know - that a church "merely opposes homosexual sex activity along with a batch of other sexual no-nos that are not about homosexuality." It much more often happens that homosexuality is held up as a "whipping boy" while a host of other acts, nominally frowned upon by the church, are handwaved. Further, when this occurs in a hierarchical organization in which many members of the hierarchy are, as they might say, "active homosexuals," the whole thing starts to look less like a visible church and more like a pack of hypocrites. And since many people know how Christ, on whose teachings each Christian group claims to be founded, railed against hypocrites, then the whole thing looks incoherent.

This isn't a dig at any particular communion, since (sadly) every communion about which I know anything has a host of problems.

I have found that I don't really need to deal with this question if I imagine interacting with homosexuals with heart of love Jesus has for everyone, and which we should be imitating until we are transformed by God more into his likeness. Do not think you are so different in God's eyes.

Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.” Then you will not take pride in one man over against another. For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not? (bold mine, 1 Corinthians 4:6-7, 1984 NIV)

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. (Philippians 2:3, 1984 NIV)

Take a look at Philippians 2:1-11.

Paul, writing to Gentiles about Jews wrote,
What shall we conclude then? Are we any better ? Not at all! We have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under sin. As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; (Romans 3:9-10, 1984 NIV)

Take a look at all of Romans chapter 3.

Of course not, I hate it, as does God.

I hate it over other sin because it is completely disgusting to me. Some act as if they are clueless why we hate this sin and not others, so there ya' go, that's one reason.

I'd actually though that people had stopped touting that. Looks like some worn out psychobabble from the 70's.

Don't buy that nonsense. I'm no expert but I know enough about psychology to know when something is made up for the purpose of making wrong right/blaming the opposition. Happens all the time...especially on Homosexual threads. Some have even managed to create delusions where it is not even sin, so expect anything.
