Why is it so wrong for me to engage in homosexual activity?

[Chryssa1791]

Now again, this isn’t to promote anything. I want to know, why is it so wrong? I’ve never been in a relationship with a woman yet. I’m a 27-year-old Lesbian and I can’t help but salivate at the thought of being completely surrounded by beautiful women. Now, I know I can choose not to act on these thoughts and I can choose not to lust, but I am consumed with an overwhelming desire to do it. Every time a beautiful woman walks by, I get hopelessly entranced. A lot of times, it’s by reflex. I just do it. I especially get turned on if she caresses my chin. I love it when she does that.

But I want to engage in sex with my own sex. Why is this wrong?

You know that little voice inside of you that says this is wrong? Listen to it.
I will not argue or fuss or anything like that over this, but I will tell you the truth.
Jesus Christ is the way and the Truth and the Life and the Word of God prohibits such activity so there you go and that is why it is wrong.
Bless you and I am praying for you for clarity :]

The entire modern sexual-activity based anthropology of the world is wrong and not in keeping with what has been taught in the Christian Church and religion since time immemorial. "You are what you repeatedly do" is not a Christian axiom by any stretch of the imagination. So you lust after your own sex, or somebody else lusts after the opposite sex, or some people lust after whatever (money, power, status, whatever) -- the problem is with the lust. The problem is with the passions. And the problem is certainly with anything will tell you that you 'are' those things.

We are more than what we do, and in fact what we do is often directly contradictory and harmful to our struggle to master the passions and live a properly Christian life. Even the apostles themselves recognized it, and hence taught that this is part of the struggle of life, not to be yielded to by fashioning ourselves into whatever it is we struggle with.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God--through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. (Romans 7:14-25)

depends if you believe the bible is the word of God if you are believer then any sex outside of marriage is wrong.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

What is your end goal for this post? To stop, or to debate? If its to stop, then probably better suited to post in the struggles with sexuality, or the "Advice" section of the forum, if its to debate if its ethical, then that would be considered promoting on your end, and this post is gonna get shut down.

But if you still seek a conversation without debate, you're free to DM me, as I have been down that road before.

It's contrary to God's design of gender.

 

[Sketcher]

It's against God's will and design plan for sex. I can provide Scripture passages if necessary.

I can’t help but salivate at the thought of being completely surrounded by beautiful women. Now, I know I can choose not to act on these thoughts and I can choose not to lust, but I am consumed with an overwhelming desire to do it.

Honestly, if I as a male said this about women, people would be calling me a creeper.

Reads a great deal like a promotion to me, an advertisement with instructions even. An atheist without shame, what's the world coming to.

You are letting it get control of you instead of you being in control of it. What you have described here seems to be OK by your standards today, but there will come a time (if God is willing) that you will be ashamed by it, and if you haven't learned mastery of it, then you will find it distressing. That also applies for heterosexual lust, btw. At that time, you might become bitter at your powerlessness against lust, or you might choose denial (which causes a person to become hypocritical and hostile when the truth draws near to convict their conscience).

This is the essence of what St Paul knew when he wrote 1 Corinthians 6:18.

It's another example of a corruption to our pure state, where the concept applies to a smoker: it is easier to never start than it is to try and quit later.

 

[Noxot]

a typical response from a bible believer would be something kin to "God says no". that does not really answer your question of "why".

if God says no then why does he say no? some would say it is because it's natural for a man and a woman to have sex so they can make a baby. this puts sex in the sphere of necessity-survival. it's usually bad for the human spirit to be bounded to necessity-survival.

imo sexuality should be joined together with love. real love justifies much. it's a sick madness that has no cure. what is not love is wrong and what is love is right. plain and simple.

ofc it can be hard to discern good from evil. but I assure you that good is good because it's better than evil. if evil was good God would want us to have it.

 

[S.O.J.I.A.]

"I lust, therefore I am"...

if we stick with an atheist worldview, there is no right or wrong. just understand the pedophile can use the same logic.

It's actually punishment from God for rejecting him . I personally believe that is talking about God as the creator , person who gives glory to animals rather than God is punished by acting like animal.
That's my opinion , you can read for yourself .

Romans 1
20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Let me ask you a question.

Is everything in life about sexuality? If you're defending the position of equality for gay people only to make that equality an idol for people to follow, then I can't help you.

 

[Strathos]

Since you obviously reject Christ, then you might as well do what you want. No one here is going to convince you to do otherwise.

Do they all think they are the first to post this stuff when they post it?

Random passers-by caress your chin? What are you, a cat?

Your forgot to anwser the question: why is it wrong?

 

[DogmaHunter]

It's contrary to God's design of gender.

Then why do 5 to 10% of mammals engage in homosexual relationships?
Does "god's design" fail 10% of the time?

After all, if this is idd "god's design of gender" and if "homosexuality is 'sin'...", then I would expect animals, who supposedly only act instinctively, never to engage in homosexual relationships.

So why is this not the case? More then that, why is the frequency of homosexual relationships in humans largely in line with the rest of the mammalian world?

Considering these statistics, one would almost have to conclude that it was deliberatly "build in" by this god who supposedly designed it all...

Either that, or he has an very consistent rate of error.
