What's wrong with two people who love each other making love? Why is homosexuality a sin?

Back in the late 1970's, there was a Yale history professor by the name of John Boswell. He was having a conversation with someone one day and the person asked a similar statement as you, "Why is homosexuality a sin?"

Dr. Boswell asked why he thought that way and the person answered, "Because it says so in the Bible."

Because of his profound knowledge of history and linguistics, Dr. Boswell knew that could not possibly be true and so he started researching the issue.

The result was his book, "Christianity, Social Tolerance and Homosexuality" (1980). This is an extremely scholarly book, examining every biblical reference to homosexuality and analyzing the references within their original languages and meanings. It is about as unbiased as one can get, since Dr. Boswell wasn't a theologian - he was an historian and a linguist.

Bottom line - he disputed everything that modern day Christianity teaches about why "homosexuality is a sin."

There is nothing wrong with making love, so long as it is a mature decision to do so, and not just on a whim. I don't really think that there is a human that can take God's place of judging whether homosexuality is a sin or not.

A sin is anything the Church says is one, they so declared homosexuality in the 9th or 10th century based on broad interpretations of various Biblical verses taken out of context. Once a Pope signed off on it the interpretation became Church Law, and has remained so ever since.

Nowhere in the bible is homosexuality listed as a sin. The bible says that 'god' hates homosexuality but you would think a divine being would have got over his fit of pique by now.

Well not sure why its a sin some stuff in the bible and all that jazz, but can two people who are of the same sex really have actually..love making(sex) I mean yea they made a name for it and all but is it really that? I mean lesbians and that...scissor thing..not really sex. I mean of course the bible says stone your kids and non virgins but Im here typing this as you see. So just people like to choose whats cool and whats a sin.

Because when the Bible was written by men thousands of years ago, and they were afraid of anything different, so they wrote it into the supposed Holy Book.

It is not a sin. Love is beautiful, no matter what genders are involved.

Because the people in power say it is.

And unfortunately, most of us are sheep, too frightened of ourselves to make any of our own decisions about life.

Nothing is wrong with either. Some people are just ignorant and closed minded.

There is nothing wrong whatsoever. Believe in your love. There you will find your own goodness and how you are. There is nothing truer.

The practice of homosexuality is destructive to the human soul. God makes it clear that homosexuality is a sin (Leviticus 18:22; 20:13; Romans 1:26–27; 1 Corinthians 6:9; Jude 1:7; 1 Timothy 1:10; Revelation 21:8). Supporting gay marriage is a sin because it means to support homosexuality and the perversion of Holy Matrimony. If a nation legalizes gay marriage, that nation will be cursed.

Homosexuality is caused by iniquity. Iniquities (tendencies that cause one to sin) pass down the generation line (Numbers 14:18). When one accepts Lord Jesus as their Saviour, God forgives their sins and removes their iniquities (evil tendencies) in the subsequent transformation process which makes one more and more like Christ.

2 Corinthians 3:18

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Hebrews 9:12-14

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Titus 3:5

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

After genuinely accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour, ALL sinners (those who practice homosexuality, alcoholics, liars, drug addicts, fornicators etc.) will be saved and transformed. Each believer is cleansed by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and receives the infilling of the Holy Spirit who renews them.

REDEMPTION BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH

Because mankind is incapable of meeting God’s standard of perfection necessary to abide in God’s presence (Romans 3:19-20,23), God sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the total debt for the believer’s sins and mercifully credits to his account Christ’s righteousness (Romans 3:21-28,5:1-11; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21). Jesus’ gracious act of atonement was complete and covers all sin (Colossians 2:13-14; 1 John 1:9). Salvation is not based on good deeds but according to the mercy of God (Titus 3:4-5). Believers are justified by faith; it is a gift by God’s grace (Romans 4:3-8; Ephesians 2:8-9). A true, living faith will result in a desire to live a holy, loving life of good works (Ephesians 2:10; Galatians 5:6; James 2:14-26), but failure to be absolutely successful at righteous living does not negate the believer’s justified status.

If you sincerely say this prayer, your sins will be washed away, you will be redeemed to God, be saved from eternal torment and inherit the Kingdom of God:

"Dear Jesus,

I am a sinner.

I repent of my sins.

Please forgive me and save me by your shed blood;

come into my heart.

I want to receive you as my own personal Lord and Savior.

Amen"
