I like some input , this is a topic that has popped up as a case of sin .

Now as paul points out this act is unnatural so is it a sin or something else.

We are not sinners because we sin, we sin because we are sinners. Now to be truthful i have probably broken every commandment carnaly or heartfully even murder as i have wished harm to a person, adultry, yeah low tops and high skirts used to catch my eye.

Now heres the thing I never looked at the same sex lustfully. Never. Scripture tells us its unnatural so this is not a common sin of sorts but we seem to classify it as so.

stealing , lieing , cheating are natural sinful behavior which is wicked and needs to be repented of but as far as I can see homosexuality is the only one discribed as un natural affection.....your thoughts?

Leviticus 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 upon them.

Romans 1:32 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.

Deuteronomy 23:17-18 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel. Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

Jude 1:10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

2 Peter 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption

Bit confused..isn't affection a behavior? I see no difference in all the sins.

Even a cursory look through the Bible does indeed make it plain that homosexuality is a sin.

I believe it is like spitting your seed on the ground. Can a man make another man pregnant, or woman make another woman? I think if it was natural, God would have made it possible.

This ain't rocket science.
Common sense tells me it's unnatural.
Didn't even need the Bible for that one.

Homosexuality is no different to any other sin in this regard - I think you may be looking right past the obvious here...

its not the same.....its not considered natural fornacation but a unnatural act.
I thought that was the point I made...
If sex is supposed to be about procreation then that can hardly apply to homosexual relations can it?

it has a life style that demands social acceptance. now you dont see a group of murders or theives or adulters demandig equal rights.

My guess on where it might have started, was two people of the same sex being without the opposite, and not controlling their desires. Tell you the truth, I don't want to know where it originated, I already know God says "No" to it!

Could you imagine if murders, and all the others did. Or if because of the homosexual community, the rest does try pushing for equal rights.

true but its a hot topic in the church and has caused alot of division. we need to bottom line this across the board. why does the word of god call this affection strange...what does it mean....its not like any other sin. imo

I knew a man that left his wife and two kids after 23 yrs of marriage to live and marry a man.....I know a woman that left her husband after 10 yrs to marry a woman. now tell me that the sexual needs were not ment in the natural...but yet they persued the unnatural.....no matter the cost..
