I've got to go back and follow the post you are responding to. Amazing! Sometimes I wonder if the folks who post comments such as the one you are responding to don't do so just to lure in readers.
In other posts one person implies that science is a guide for moral behavior. Now I understand animals, the behavior of animals is being suggested as a moral compass.
You know the Bible says "The fool has said in His heart there is no God." Perhaps I can use that. I think I will. "The idiot has said in his heart the animal is our leader."

Monkey see. Monkey do. Maybe the monkeys are copying us. You ever think of that?
My dog is going to the bathroom in the backyard. Stop! My neighbor my start doing the same. I sure won't. I know better. You ever been to the zoo? It's a real circus. Monkey throw their feces. Hey, there's a behavior. Don't complain if someone throws theirs at you. It's an animal thing.
Did you hear about the poor woman, I feel so sorry for her, who got her faced . . . by a monkey? Now where does that leave you. How dare you minimize sin to the level of mere animal behavior.
This is blasphemous. JESUS DIED ON A CROSS FOR SIN. HE DID NOT SUFFER FOR MERE ANIMALISTIC BEHAVIOR.
The comments that some people make. Are you folks really Christians? UNBELIEVABLE.
Perhaps its the university that's coming out in your statements.

That is a good question hospitalpharmacist. Unfortunately we are all born into sin and that includes every living creature.
And yes you are quite right that we must remember to pray for others.
You have a good heart
God bless

"You have a good heart." Now you read hearts? I read posts. If Peter preached the way some of you folks respond to some of the outlandish, blasphemous statements made, he never would have said: "YOU have taken and by WICKED HANDS have crucified Jesus." He would have said: "Jesus loves you. Yes he does. I can understand you not believing that He is the Messiah. We all have so many backgrounds and have come from different parts of the world. I don't want to hurt your feelings. I love Jesus. I love Him so much. God loves you all. He has forgiven you all. Isn't His love great? You all meant well. You have such good hearts. God loves you." End of sermon. Pathetic.
Thoughtless statements about the Bible end up being blasphemous. "God dying for animal behavior" Stupid.
A person may have homosexual tendencies and that itself is not sin. I will agree with that. Okay. It is like a teenage boy. I was one at one time. The boy has a powerful, a pure natural God created to be with a female. It's the sex drive. (It's more like being taken over by a super power. You don't control, it controls you in many ways. But God put it there. Women have no idea the power or force of that drive.) The boy knows that sex outside of marriage is wrong. He wants to have sex, but doesn't. Yes, he has thoughts. He works on those thoughts. . . but never acts on them. In the same way a person may have homosexual tendencies and not act them because he or she knows it is wrong.
It comes down to what we do with the thoughts and intents. Do we act or not? Do we try to change or not?
The notion that "I was born this way" is not an excuse to act on the desire.

This is an ongoing debate that has risen into the christian community since the recent law changes. Which has resulted in a lot of divisions in the church.
My question is do you think that God views homosexuality as a sin or not and why? Are some people born homosexual thus making it completely natural and not a choice or is it an inherited sin in which we are born with like the rest of sins and essentially one has to be 'born again'?
I am really interested in people's viewpoints
I apologise if this question has been asked many times before as I am new to this forum.
Thanks for replying in advance

No Misscris there's more to it than that. Homosexuality has never been the norm, it has never been regarded as other sins. There's something ugly, most perverted in a man kissing and have sex with another man. It is abhorring. I think a lot of times Christians are responding to the effects of homosexuality. The family is no longer Mom and Dad. It's Mom and Who knows what? The God ordained institution of marriage is now redefined. SIN IS SIN. Yes. But there's something so detestable about that perverted behavior that it turns peoples stomach. It is so contrary to what is natural. It is repelling. So I don't think it is Christians responding in kind. I think it is more in line with the type of sin it is, so contrary to that which is pure and wholesome and ordained by God.
On the other hand. Yes, we must and should want to show the love of God toward those who practice it. Many Christians in Corinth were at one time homosexuals. But someone taught them the truth. Yes, we need to do that. I am in no way advocating hate toward them.

When God created the world and man scripture speaks to us of sex and man and woman joining as one as one of the first things we are to learn about our world. Scripture talks of other things in creation later, but this came first.
To say that we have a right to change how God created the world is absolute foolishness.
It hurts me to watch such as Ellen DeGeneres and Anderson Cooper on TV. They are so wonderful as people, but they are so spiritually deformed without the least idea of their deformity it is painful to watch.

In my veiw, I do not think God created man to be with man. I think these are signs of the last days and we need to pray hard for people not to be deceived by the changing times. Paul said in 1 Corinthians dat it is well for a man not to marry but if he cannot be.. then he shud have one wife or woman and I do not think man is included here

A person cannot help a birth defect.
People may not know how to cater for such individuals
but Christians were taught to do good and should stick to that.
The O.T. has specific prohibition and penalty for such practice.
Personally I believe we must do good as is expected of a Christ follower.
The person involved should come to Christ for forgiveness and help, calling on his name, in baptism.
The ball is then in the 'Jesus court.'
He is either an understanding helper or not.
We have have found that baptism calling on Jesus, from under the water,
gets a response from Jesus everytime.
A returning person was buried and called on the LORD himself or herself.
Consider this:
Matt.19
[9] And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication,
and shall marry another, committeth adultery:
and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
[10] His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife,then it is not good to marry.
[11] But he said unto them,
>> All men cannot << receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
[12] For there are some eunuchs, which were >> so born from their mother's womb:
and there are some eunuchs, which were >> made eunuchs of men:
and there be eunuchs, which have >> made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake.
He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
The person should go directly to Christ through baptism, calling on him from under the water.
People who do not know how to avail themselves of help from Christ, have limited human options.
Christ gave a positive promise:
John.10
[9] I am the door: by me if any man enters (?) in, >> he shall be saved <<
and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
There is no law against doing good.
1 Pet.3
[13] And who is he (the Christian) who will harm you, if you are followers of that which is good?
Keep well,
The best to you.

Why is there a debate over homosexuality?
Rom 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;
reprobate:
G96
ἀδόκιμος
adokimos
ad-ok'-ee-mos
From G1 (as a negative particle) and G1384; unapproved, that is, rejected; by implication worthless (literally or morally): - castaway, rejected, reprobate.
