Why do some people think being gay is a sin?


Hi my friends.I'm a Moslem from Iran. I would say gay people are not born that way.Their environment has caused them to be attracted to the same sex as theirs.So first of all people need to know that being gay is not a sin, nor it is evil.And also it's not a mental illness.It's the way you feel.It's The way you fulfil your sexual needs.There's absolutely nothing you could do to change your feelingsA feeling is not a sin.My best friend is a gay because he hadn't visited many men when he was a child.And he's a very good and kind person,very clever and honest.So being gay is not a sin by itself.The way you choose to fulfil your sexual needs determins wether you commit sins or not.Gay people must agree that in God's law gay-marriage and sexual affairs between men is a mortal sin.But this rule goes for heterosexual people too when they tend to commit evil deeds such as pre-marriage sex.It's against God's law and a mortal sin.But unfortunately some people think because their government allows them to do so it's OK while it's not in God's law.I think no one has the right to hate gay people because they haven't chosen to be that way.Gay people are just like hetrosexual people as long as they don't commit sins.In my mind some heterosexul people must be blamed for the way they choose to fulfil their needs such as pre-marriage sex.So you'll go to heaven if you live honestly and not to let your sexual feelings to control you and make you commit sins.Please don't tell me it's a sin because Bible says so.Quran says only affairs between men are sinful not the way you feel or think.God will judge you according to your actions not your feelings or your thoughts.If you think gay people can change please for just one minute try to be homosexual if you're not.It's impossible.Thanks.

God doesn't forbid "feelings". He forbids sin. Merely suffering from a psychosocial disorder is not sinful; however, if because of that disorder you are tempted to engage in ungodly acts which God has specifically forbidden, you have the responsibility to resist such temptation and to pray for the grace to do so. This is not unique to homosexual persons. Unmarried heterosexual persons have the same responsibility before God.
Reply:"Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies. They xechanged the truth of God for a lie, and worship and served created things rather than the Creator- who is forever praised, Amen. Because of this God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. men committed indecent acts with other men and recieved in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.( Romans 1:24-27) You are no "Moslem" from Iran, what you are is an insault. You shouldn't say things with out doing your homework.
Reply:Because the New Testament says homosexual acts are a sin.





Read Romans chp1.verse 24





Their is no doubt that it is a sin according to Christian teachings.


Saying what the Scriptures say is not hate. Hate would be calling for violence or something. Telling people what is clearly taught is something else.
Reply:Since there are a few good Scriptural answers tha amply confirm it is a MAJOR SIN TO BE GAY AND THAT SUCH ONES WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF THE HEAVENS I will deal with you absurd allegation that they are born that way THAT IS BIOLOGICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO BE BORN GAY IT IS A LIFESTYLE CHOICE THAT THAT PERSON MAKES FOR THEMSELVES IF IT WERE POSSIBLE THE HUMAN RACE WOULD HAVE DIED OFF WITHIN ONE GENERATION AND WE ARE STILL HERE KIND OF DEFEATS THAT IDEOPATHIC NOTION NOW DOESNT IT Gorbalizer
Reply:IF you believe the Bible and you actually have read it, you would not be posting this question because you would know that homosexuality is wrong.......a sin.





If you are not a Bible believer, the we aren't starting on the same page so this discussion would be moot.
Reply:Lev 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.








Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be








1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,


1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God
Reply:This is a long question! Feelings can be sins. The Bible says that you shouldn't covet (a feeling), commit adultery (stated in the Bible as even thinking about commiting adultery with someone, which is a thought/feeling). I won't debate homosexuality with you, as it is rather complicated, but you are wrong when you say that "a feeling is not a sin".
Reply:In your case it may not matter because you have reject the payment for your sins that the Lord Jesus Christ made on the cross. John 3: 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. There is no animal on the earth that don't know what sex it is but the human because he know right from wrong not only sins against God but sins against nature. Romans 1: 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Romans 1: 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. Romans 1: 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: Romans 1: 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. Romans 1: 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;
Reply:A Muslim from Iran who thinks being gay is cool? WOW ! Twice the blindness.
Reply:Your opinion is different from God's opinion, mmm I wonder who will win the argument?
Reply:having a homosexual relationship is a choice. You can say no. Your mind is a great work of art, and anything you concentrate on you are going to say it's ok. It's a matter of self-control.
Reply:The answer to your question is that some people are jack @$$'s and need to reassure there own sexuality by discriminating others..
