I understand this is the BDF, & would encourage others to give their biblical opinions on this issue, as well as names, sites, & videos of christian singers you know that fall into this category
Is this a serious question???
You do understand that God calls this sin, and is one of the works of the flesh and those that engage in this lifestyle will not go to Heaven.
You have seen the scriptures... so if you consider these folks to be "Christians" then you must be of the false grace persuasion eh?
It's very odd that some of these folks support tv preachers like Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, and other fake and false teachers who do not teach the whole counsel of God and as such are men pleasers not God pleasers.... ear ticklers!
The attraction is just the temptation but the sin is the action apon this temptation.
No, Jesus said to lust after a woman is a sin... not doing the act, but harboring the desire is a sin.
This is why the Word tells us to cast down imaginations and every high things that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. (2 Corinthians 10:5)
If lusting after a woman is a sin for a heterosexual man, and it is ... then lusting after strange flesh is sin as well.
And we are living a continued sin of lying. We sin everyday and I can assure you there is a repeated sin in everyone's life everyday.
That's not true... big difference in willingly and knowingly committing sin against God knowing it's wrong and doing it anyway.... versus falling short of God's perfection such as making mistakes, forgetting things, etc
I just don't agree.... Can you help out and give a verse that shows the homosexuality is a worse sin than the others?
If you walk after the flesh, you shall die:
Romans 8:13,14
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Do you think the Lord is leading these people to be gay and/or think they are gay???
It's not a matter of the gay thing being worse than any other sin... it's a matter of walking after the flesh versus walking after the Spirit.
For those that reject anything from the Old Testament... here's two witnesses from the New Testament:
Galatians 5:18-21
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 6:9,10
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,
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
You might want to quit agreeing with the wisdom of blind mankind and go with what the Lord says... and no, anyone claiming to be "gay" is not qualified to teach God's Word because they have been deceived by satan so listening to self proclaimed "gay christians" is like having a wolf guard the hen house...
I for one would like to find out more about the subject of the Op
Why not go with God's Word and see things from His point of view???... you know, the only point of view that matters!
Jesus gave us the definition of what an intimate union (one that includes sex) should be:
Matthew 19:4-6
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Jesus was referencing what God said in Genesis 5:2... and no He does not even have to mention the gay thing, the sex with animals thing, multiple partners, or any of the other perversions satan has conned people into believing is OK cause... Jesus simply gave us God's definition of what an intimate relationship is and that is between a man (born as a man) and a woman (born as a woman)...
This is so simple people have to have help to misunderstand it which of course what satan is offering to do... help people misunderstand God's Word.
Only Jesus can determine that or has the right to state who is and who is not.....
Yes, and He will do so based on what His Word says... His Word judges and those like yourself you reject God's Word on this subject are living in sin:
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.
Having pleasure in them that do these things = agreement with them in their sin, not opposing their sin
You might want to take Galatians 5:18-21 and 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 seriously and quit being a cherry picker!... false grace is corrupting your mind dude.
