Gay sex...this is for the person who posted the question earier today...?

The was a question posted earlier asking: "Is gay sex wrong? Is it a sin?" I was shocked to say that every one of the 7 answers this person got said that it was and that it was something to be ashamed of. Before I could post my answer, the question was deleted (a mere 20 minutes after it had been posted in the first place). We are sexual creatures. We were made that way. How we express our sexuality and with whome is part of the freedom of being human. It is a gift and we should not be ashamed of enjoying it. As long as you treat people with love and respect you are not doing anything wrong or "sinful". Homosexuality is not a disorder. It's an identity, a culture. If I was gay I would be proud to be so. I am saddened by people's lack of tolerance, understanding and love. Im also surprised at the extent of some people's narrow-mindedness...who seem to think that God would punish someone for homosexual sex or make them "burn in hell". No loving God would do that...Touchy topic, I know!

    In addition to your comment, those of us who are tolerant or condone homosexual behaviour apparently will also be going to hell. I agree with every one of your statements, we are God's children...what kind of parent would cast out their children, and not accept them for who they are? I figure if you can find someone to share a safe, loving relationship with, regarless of sex, then congrats!

    Well, Guys, you talk about God, so I am assuming that you believe in Him, and you got the part right about Him being kind and loving. So kind and loving in fact, that He warned you that it was a sin, and that He provided forgiveness for those who will turn away from the sin. You see, God loves the sinner, not the sin. So, now let me ask you, what are you reading in the way of a Bible?

    In 1 Cor 6:9, (NIV) He tells you, "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolators nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."

    (I know, I know, there are going to be a lot of people down there who said they were Christians, but didn't really follow Him...)

    You can't take God and leave His words. If you believe in Him, then you have to live by the rules He gave you. He said it was wrong for a reason, not just to make you mad, or create "touchy" topics.

    I didn't like a lot of my parents rules either, but was smart enough to figure out that they were in place for my protection.

    People blame God with a lot of things that aren't His fault. I know God personally, and no, He wouldn't make you burn in hell, He gave His Son for your salvation, and said, You choose. You can choose to Hell if you want, but He's begging you not to. How does that make Him bad?

    Update: God considers His children to be the ones who have accepted His Son as their savior, and if you have done that then you would follow the rules, not out of fear, but out of love for Him. I've already told you the rule on this subject....) Sorry guys, you should "tolerate" (love- with the love of Christ) the person, but not condone the sin. You would be personally helping the gay down the path to hell and telling him it's ok, now how is that love?? If you know the truth, it is your obligation to share it with them, if you care about them even a little bit. I did say share, show, not throw it in their face, THEY have to CHOOSE. I don't even know these people, but I care enough about their soul to warn them...Come on now, all of you "I'm a Christian, but I'm tolerant" people, don't you care about their soul?

    Touchy topic, I know!

    Amen! I think one reason that all 7 people answered that way is the amount of "blue" (i.e. right-wing, Republican) states there are. Morally and ethically, I truly believe this country is travelling farther and farther back in time, toward the backward-thinking Middle Ages. Ignorance appears to run rampant in this country.

    what is the difference with gay and straight sex. If anyone should complain it should be anyone gay or straight having unsafe premiscuous sex.

    If someone same sex or opposite makes you happy then, well then go for it.

    I believe in god and I believe that god wants everyone to be happy and safe.

    I don't believe its a sin.

    Enjoy yourself and your partner whoever they may be. GOD BLESS!!

    Sins are established by your religion and its sacred book, so yes, sodomy is a sin if you are Christian.
