Is Homosexual Conduct Sinful?

Pope Benedict declared this week that saving humanity from homosexual behavior was just as important as saving the rainforest. The reaction of portions of the gay community was swift and predictable. The Pope's words were characterized as "agitating," "threatening," "totally irresponsible" or "absurd." What does the New Testament say about this question? Many have misunderstood the biblical teaching in this regard.

Although it should come as no surprise, I am always astounded when "Christians" dismiss the Old Testament scriptures stating they are no longer valid. Perhaps their bible is missing Matthew 5:17..? :)

Thanks for addressing the issue of homosexuality head on instread of dancing around it like many so-called Christians do.

It's clear to me how God views homosexuality. Marriage is meant for a man and a woman, and his creation is beautiful.

Another passage the Bible folks

like to sweep under the carpet

is the story of the love affair

between King David and Prince Jonathan.

It actually turned out a lot better

than David's adulterous, murderous HETERO affair.

You presume to know the word of God? Is that not blasphemy? For all those Christians out there: Why do you think slavery is wrong? Saint Paul clearly supports slavery. Don't you people actually read the Bible? Using the New Testament as a source of moral guidance is highly questionnable unless of course you think that slavery is not immoral. .

The Homosexual can be in God's Kingdom-----" if "--- he chooses to repent of being a Homosexual. But for that matter all types of sin listed in God's word must be repented of before God can change people into spirit. The penalty of sin is Death. First repentance, and then God's forgiveness. THAT IS THE WAY IT WORKS. Don't listen to any others that tell you differently. They would be twisting God's word.

What about the often overlooked chapter in the New Testament - JUDE? That is a chapter for these times!

(im not saying its all a lie, but some things where added) Let your inner guidance tell you what is true and what has been added. You see the bible makes us think that (although it says we where all created by the same creator which is true) we are all different, by enhancing its true purpose with false words. short story, I know someday you will all realize that we are not the religion we think we are, or the race but simply a whole infinite awarness of LOVE...

My friends, nobody is born gay or straight. Its simply a word a supressed thought. We people please need to stop hating one another by creating barriers of im this, you are that. I was born white black. We all have different points of views and we all need to respect them. The bible is simply a lie to disconect us from our true source. If you really say you are spiritual like you said you are re read your bible and with your own heart and soul feel the true meaning behind it..
