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

I'll be able to reply as soon as I get this stupid plank out of my own eye.
Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, “Let me remove the speck from your eye”; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. (Matthew 7:1–5)

Those verses have nothing to do with this, this is talking about human judgement, not God's judgement. God has judged that the practice of homosexuality is eternal judgment to hell. Man's judgement is not to judge those that God has judged, which means that man is willing to lie to a homosexual and say it's okay, God loves you, God hates the sin not the sinner. Which is not in the Bible, God hates the wicked and their sin, God doesn't appease them.
This whole mess started because people think they have to make evangelizing personal, like, Jesus loves you, that's not what the apostles preached. Using the Law of God or the 10 Commandments to evangelize, will bring a person to the knowledge of sin, so that the message of Christ has a purpose. Jesus loves you, has no purpose of repentance in it and that's what we are called to preach repentance. Remember what the apostles did they went to the synagogues to preach Christ. They already knew the Law of God, they already had the foundations of Christ. Using the Law of God in evangelization takes away any personal sin out of the picture, it leaves the sinner before a Holy God for the Spirit to convict them.
