There is such thing as a homosexual who does not engage in homosexual sex. You are sadly mistaken, I assume you are a heterosexual, does this mean you are always lusting, and having sex? It is not possible to STOP being one, thats like telling a black person to stop being black. Not all homosexuality is considered sin. If it is please give me a verse to prove yourself. Being homosexual is not the sin, the sin is lusting homosexually.There is no such thing as being a homodexual that does not practice the sin. All homosexuals are in sin. it is possible to stop being one and that is by repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Once that happens the person is no loner a homosexual.
1 Corinthians 6:11
All homosexuality is sin according to the bible. The term gay is a non term. Biblical anyone who is into homosexuality is in sin and scripture teaches that no one in sin will go to heaven.
According to your Thesis, one who has not engaged in heterosexual sex is not a heterosexual. Think about this reasoning. It would mean that all are asexual with lustful thoughts toward either the opposite or same sex. Look whether you like it or not, there is a segment of the population that during the onset of puberty, found out that no matter how hard they tried, they were attracted to members of the same sex. One can be in denial of this because it may threaten their world view. But the reality "Is what it is" One who is gay, did not make a abitrary decision that they where going to become attracted to same sex. It is usually a long process of struggle, denial and sometimes acceptance. I would suggest that until you walk in anothers shoes, you should refrain from making kneejerk pronouncements in regards to "who" they are.
Well sure... if you read into scripture meanings that were never intended by the original authors.I understand the common day belief on this matter. Howevcer I am a Christian and hold to the teaching of the bible, not that of man. The bible teaches that we choose our sins. All homosexuals are in sin according to scripture. It offers no exceptions.
If it is accepted as part of the canon of Scripture, then it is divinely ispired and acts with the force as if God Himself spoke it, because He in fact did.Jude 1:7
In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.
It appears to be a letter, though, and not God talking. When God spoke on Sodom, he didn't say anything about sexual perversion. There are a lot of sins the Sodomites could have been guilty of. Chances are, they were guilty of many of them. Sexual sin was added to the reason later and soon became the only reason. That seems to be mens motives, though, because when God spoke of Sodom he never said anything about sexual sin. Not that I can find anyway.
And just how do you know what was the intent of the original authors? Do you have some special insight the rest of the people since Christ are lacking?Well sure... if you read into scripture meanings that were never intended by the original authors.
Sorry, typo. Romans 1:27Romans chapter 10 ends after verse 21.
Putting that to the side, though, I don't see how that can be mistranslated. I am only speaking on S&G. If you are talking about the law, that is another conversation. Before I could embark on that conversation, I would need to be able to look up the verse in question.
Homosexuality in and of itself connotes consumation of same sex attraction.There is such thing as a homosexual who does not engage in homosexual sex. You are sadly mistaken, I assume you are a heterosexual, does this mean you are always lusting, and having sex? It is not possible to STOP being one, thats like telling a black person to stop being black. Not all homosexuality is considered sin. If it is please give me a verse to prove yourself. Being homosexual is not the sin, the sin is lusting homosexually.
Nope, I have the same access to historical cultural context about semi nomadic bronze agedesert dwellers as anyone else, and can see the Levitical injunctions for what they are, rather than direct moral guidance from God, they are guidlines for the effective running and survival of a small subsistence community living before refrigeration.And just how do you know what was the intent of the original authors? Do you have some special insight the rest of the people since Christ are lacking?
Ya, just forget all that nonsense in the OT. If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad, can it?Does that also mean that murdering and coveting are no longer displeasing to God?
Roman's 1:27
I don't speek ancient greek first hand, but according to Strong's, greek words used for "men" through the whole verse are
αρρσην and αρσην
male (as stronger for lifting): - male, man.
and the word used for lust was
orexis
excitement of the mind, that is, longing after: - lust.
And the word for another
ἀλλήλων
one another. : - each other, mutual, one another, (the other), (them-, your-) selves, (selves) together
Males longing after other males. How can that be misunderstood?

I don't subscribe to the list of it IS a choice, or it ISN'T a choice as the deciding factor, but yes, I think some people DO choose that live style because of how it's portrayed in the media. It's become the "in" thing now. Just like how, in some twisted hollywood dream, that being oppressed is fashionable.
Having attraction toward the same gender and not acting upon it isn't necessarily wrong, but IS something that person should try to go to the Lord w/ if possible despite attraction itself not being wrong. A person that just has attractions toward the same gender but has nothing to do w/ that life isn't a homosexual...at least not in my book. A homosexual is someone that acts on those feelings, not actively resists them and such.
There is no such thing as being a homodexual that does not practice the sin. All homosexuals are in sin. it is possible to stop being one and that is by repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Once that happens the person is no loner a homosexual.

Oh My GOD! you are clueless. You obviously have never taken a trip to the deep south. Um... being gay is not "in", it's not a choice, trust me. I tried to choose to be heterosexual but, well, it just didn't work.
what a load of boloney. We all have tempation to resist. The adultress is not condemned by Christ, but He does tell her to go out and SIN NO MORE. He doesn't forgive her then give her a pass to keep on doing what she was doing.Heh, I "actively resisted" for nine years; life was hell, so I finally accepted myself and I've been happy ever since. Acively resisting your sexual orientation is like actively resisting your eye color.
27In 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.
This to me is talking about what is natural to the person. These men abandoned what is natural to them and lusted for the unnatural.
