Not most of the time. Now that we have birth control, rather infrequently.Heterosexuality produces children, plain and simple.
The question was why are homosexual attractions sinful while heterosexual attractions are not, and you answered because heterosexual attractions produce children. Did you mean to say something different? And why dost thou speakest in olde english?> If an attraction results in a child then it's not a sinful attraction?
Luk 21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
2Pe 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
2Pe 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other Scriptures, unto their own destruction.
You know that wasn't the question, and you know marriage is essential. Why tempt ye me?
Cross-sex sex? Do you mean man and woman, there are lots of verses approving of it, I have given several.. consider also Genesis 4 Adam knew Eve and conceived Cain.And where are the verses approving of cross-sex sex? All of the verses that specifically talk about sex are talking about sexual sins. By your standard no sex is approved by the Bible.
Yes as I said we are discussing the lack of countenance for same-sex sex not your disbelief of the verses that condemn it and countenance man/woman union.Non-consensual sex is a polite way of saying rape. (Although it does include some things that less civilized generations would not have thought of as rape.) Rape is treated differently from consensual sex, even in the Bible.
Some scholars note that there are two closely related, but different words in Hebrew that translate as lie, lie down, etc. Both have general usages, but can be used to euphamistically talk about sex. In the Bible, in every case, with two possible exceptions, where the one word is used, rather than the other, the sex is non-consensual. The two verses in question are Leviticus 18:22 and
Then there are some very poor scholars around as shakab is simply to lie and is used sexually frequently. If gay and lesbian scholars are trying to re-write the Bible this much then they must be desperate.20:13, raising the intriguing possibility that these verses, too, are speaking of non-consensual sex.

The gay and lesbian arguments look to other factors with which they the can apply to the texts in order to change the meaning. If they applied the same to all the Bible none of it would make sense and if we all communicated in the same way we would never be able to understand each other.
As sex outside of marriage is also against God, it is safe to assume that David and Jonathan were not fornicators, let alone perverts.
As David was called by God "a man after His own heart", it is also safe to say he was not an abomination, either.
So, one's ill-conceived wishful thinking in order to gain support for illicit and damnable behaviours is nothing more than hot air.

And yet, David was an adulterer and a murderer. So are adultery and murder "nicer" than homosexuality?

Wow... FA for the the "begging the question" award of the century!As sex outside of marriage is also against God, it is safe to assume that David and Jonathan were not fornicators, let alone perverts.

Hes just going around copypasting this in all the threads he's active in.You know God is love, but God must also be judge. There is no other judge. If we are commanded not to judge one another, it is only because God is judge. He sees all, he has all the evidence, and he will repay. He is judge, jury, and executioner, and mercy-giver, on HIS terms.
(Isa 6:3) And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
(Rev 4:8) And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
He is holy. Just because he judges, doesn't make him "mean" or evil or anything of the sort. When a judge in your country sentences a mass murderer to death, do you judge the judge for judging the murderer? Why then do you judge God, whose job it is to judge the wicked of the world? like hitler and so forth? So that they don't just "get away with it"? The victims of many crimes have cried out to God, the Judge, for millenia for God to repay their oppressors. God will do it, he will bring the proud low and raise up the humble. He will judge those wicked deeds, for he is the only one wise enough, holy enough, and fit enough to judge properly, and to execute punishment appropriately. So stop judging God, the Judge, for judging the wicked, which is his responsibility and duty.
amen!I'm addressing the first and second posts of this thread:
I'm a bisexual Christian, and I recently returned from a mental facility ... one of the primary reasons for my visit was my struggle with bisexuality and transsexuality. God is very important to me.
And, as the second, intolerant poster suggested, let us not forget 1 Corinthians 6.9-10:
Do you not realise that people who do evil will never inherit the kingdom of God? Make no mistake-the sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, the self-indulgent, sodomites, thieves, misers, drunkards, slanderers and swindlers, none of these will inherit the kingdom of God.
Thank God homosexuality and homosexual intercourse are not on that list.

please bear in mind that God gave us logic for a reason: to think about what God truly wants from us. So logical fallacies are very, very important.
The Bible says the sins of Sodom were haughtiness and being poor hosts... "sodomy" wasn't used to apply to male homosexuals until approx the 13th centuray.What the heck do you think that sodomites do?
Get real and consider your vice.
Do you love God enough to accept His Son as your Saviour AND LORD? He wants to be your LORD. If you cannot place Him first over your desires, then you have an idol.
In the verse that you are unable to quote, right?God didn't give us the marvellous faculty of logic to misuse it to worm our way out of what God plainly tells us is perverse to Him.
