Why do we see a large amount of denominations/sects/religious institutions accepting homosexuality and even approving of it? We see priests, pastors, and even bishops openly proclaiming their homosexuality.
Homosexual acts are sinful.
Now, I'm all for allowing homosexuals to attend church and worship, I don't hate them or reject them (We should love everyone). They are sinners just like you and I. What I'm against is the accepting of their acts as something normal or God pleasing.
First off, anatomically speaking, two males (two females) are not made to fit each other. It is obvious that it is a male and a female that are meant for each other. Even the after product of a males sexual experience (sperm) is meant only for the female's egg, the is no other true purpose.
This alone should prove that a homosexual union is un-natural.
Second, Biblically speaking, God made a parnter/helper for Adam...His choice was a female, in the early chapters of Genesis we see the first marriage union of a "man and his wife".
Gen. 2:24
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
Notice the word "wife"? This is strickly used to repersent a female. Many times in scripture we only see that it is a man and his wife that make up "one flesh".
This means two males (two females) can not become "one flesh" (only a man and his wife). If two males can not become one flesh, how is it that they could ever have sexual relations that are not sinful? Only a couple who is married can have sexual relations.
This means homosexuals who engage in sexual acts are living in SIN.
One last thing, I dislike when homosexuals say that God made them that way. That's like me saying God made me with my sin nature so I should go out and sin.
It is not the temptation or desire that makes homosexuality a sin (Jesus was tempted), it is the giving into and acting out on that desire or temptation that is sin. So regardless if you have homosexual feelings, it is something that doesn't have to lead to sin.
1 Cor. 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.
We all have temptations, some people have a problem with lying or stealing, homosexuals have a problem with un-natural lusting of the same sex.
So when you see verses like:
1 Cor. 6:9-10
9Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.
It is talking about acting homosexuals, not those with just homosexual desire.
