Is homosexuality a sin?

You are clearly picking on homosexuality like it is a bigger sin than eating shrimp/lobster/leftovers.

God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah cause of sodomy between men and not because of eating of shrimps.

A man blowing another man ain't right! thats called being queer

Homosexuals can practice their perverted lust behind closed doors. The problem is that seems not enough for them. What they really want is to have the same rights as we straights people.They also want to recruit more people to their ranks.

ALL humans are sinners. Some sinners are gay, some aren't. Some sinners are alcoholics, some aren't. Most sinners, though, are very religious. Most religious sinners aren't Christians, I think, since Jesus accepted "publicans and sinners" in friendship, while many of His followers are too "righteous" to follow His example.

And "boad is spacious is the road that leads to damnation and straight and narrow is the road that leads to eternal life." So, with that said, if you're homosexual and continue your life living that way, guess what!

How do you know what gay people want? Do you have gay friends who have told you?
Or is it: "I read it on the interwebz, so it must be true."
I wasn't recruited, I just was. And finding another boy my age to go out with is not "recruiting" any more than straight boys scoping out girls. Is that "recruiting?"

Not real bright are you.Humans are not homosexuals by nature. A girl oppose a boy by sex. A girl has a vagina a boy a penis if you don´t know. For what should I recruite a girl?

Hahaha... Look at that wanna be Adam. He probably don't remember me but I sure do remember you. Seems like the polls have turned against your ignorant biased ways. N e who, just stopped by to check the stats of this poll.

[Sum guy]

I am the original "Who knows" from a long while back. Remember me now and reap it.

Sum Guy = Who knows = JDubb.... rmember me now Adam. Probably not since you have a pea sized brain in that head of yours.

[JDubbizback]

:P

[JDubbizback]

Adam= wanna be nazi troll. Sad to see how this guy has been on this forum for over a year trying to condemn something that is obsessed with.. I swear this guy is really gay. I mean really, who goes on a forum like this every single day unless there insecure or hiding something within himself that he cannot except. Deep down he knows he's gay but just can't come to terms with himself.

Ok, and... homosexuality is not a choice, and if you really think it is, then I'd love to see you go gay for a day(Actually feel that true deep down love from withing your heart for someone of the same sex and I don't mean sexual feeling either), then go back to heterosexual ways. You know its not a choice. I truly feel sorry for closed minded fools like yourself. And just to let you know, the original bible never quoted that until it was re translated, so you can lie up and down all you want, but the Bible never did truly condemn homosexuality. Those are the facts.... Read it, reap it.

Did you make a snappy comeback? You can run away from God´s wrath but you cannot hide.

I'm telling you, this guy has to be gay because the last time I was in this forum(over a year ago) he was still preaching his biased ways every single day. No heterosexual would put this much effort into condemning homosexuality unless he's got a dirty secret deep down within. Honestly, I think he was molested or something and is trying to push the blame on homosexuals... IDK but he does spend to much time and effort on this forum.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 10:34-36.
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

To give peace - See Matthew 10:34.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth?.... To set up a temporal kingdom, in great pomp, and outward peace and tranquility? Christ came to make peace with God for men, and to give the Gospel of peace, and spiritual and eternal peace to men; but not external peace, especially that, which is not consistent with the preservation of truth:

I tell you, nay; whatever suppositions you have made, or whatever notions you have entertained, I solemnly affirm, and you may depend upon it, I am not come into the world on any such account, as to establish outward peace among men;

but rather division; so he calls the Gospel, which in Matthew is styled a "sword"; and the Ethiopic version seems to have read both here, since it renders it, "but a sword that I may divide": the Gospel is the sword of the Spirit, which divides asunder soul and Spirit, and separates a man from his former principles and practices; and sets men apart from one another, even the nearest relations, at the greatest distance; and is, through the sin of man, the occasion of great contention, discord, and division.

People become homosexuals because of their environments. Particularly critical is the environment during puberty. Suggestions, ideas & strange dreams are symptoms of confused attempts to understand new and blunt sexual desires and are rashly interpreted as defining someone as being one sexuality or another. If these conclusions are accompanied by actual homosexual acts they are even more strongly reinforced.

Human instincts can be subjected to acts of will. Sexuality is a choice of identity which follows choices of action which follow from choices of what to have sexual fantasies about. Human beings are especially able to control their thoughts, entertaining some and dismissing others.

However, if this free will is not recognised it is easy to get into a cycle of thinking which starts from accepting a hypothesis about yourself as true rather than as a possible choice (even if the options are sometimes difficult).For example: "I am lazy " could be supposed true by someone. When the person who thinks this lies around in bed in the morning he observes this inaction as evidence of the statement "I am lazy." As he repeatedly chooses to do so the evidence mounts and the idea becomes fixed in his identity. It may even have physical manifestations and change his physiology and psychology. This process can easily occur for any idea good or bad about the self which is based largely on evidence resulting from ones own action. The idea may be "I am 'gay'" or "I am content" or "I love eating lots of food". The truth is - you are what you choose to be ; you do what you choose to do ; you think what you choose to think. There may be long time delays between the causing choices and the effects but anyone can change themselves. There are reformed ex-drug addicts, reformed ex-compulsive gamblers and ex-homosexuals. In all these sins prevention is 1000 times better than cure and much easier.

Oh please, stop your biased discriminatory bullsh!t before you get ahead of yourself. You lie about what the bible says and you know that for a fact. Go find someone else to amuse because I'm not buying your crap. Not in the past, not now, not ever.

Lies, lies and more lies. Been gay ever since, and can't recall a single time I felt ANY attraction to the opposite sex neither sexually nor emotionally.

Just so you and everyone else knows, homosexuality exists in nature itself such as animals. There's all the proof you need. Homosexuality is not an acquired taste, it is what it is and that's that... get it through that think skull of yours.
